6 #CollegeKid Things You Did Over Thanksgiving Break

Is anyone really surprised that you did nothing over break though?

College is all fun and games until it's the last two weeks of the semester, aka the two weeks between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break. Every college student's worst nightmare. Thought the campus clown epidemic two years ago was bad? This is even worse.

These final two weeks are also possibly the most confusing weeks of our entire semester. We all just went from chillin' at home, feasting on home cooked meals, just to be thrown back into reality Monday morning. Sadly for us, this is accompanied with exams scheduled in the afternoon, papers due by the end of the week and finals to start reviewing for. The worst part? We should have seen it coming. Every year, it's the same thing and every year, we're surprised the same way.

Finals week is just around the corner and our procrastination efforts are starting to catch up to us. The consequences that we face as procrastinators are ready to bite us in the butt. We all just got back from our Thanksgiving Break and feel a sense of rejuvenation. As soon as our alarm clocks went off on Monday, we knew.

We had a whole week to get ahead academically. We had a whole week to get ahead of ourselves in an effort to lighten the load for the final stretch of the semester. What did you do to better your last two weeks? I can tell you the 6 things I did and I have a feeling we're on the same boat.

1. You thought about getting ahead with your homework.

2. You did not touch your homework.

3. You thought about reviewing for your finals.

4. You definitely did not begin reviewing for your finals. 

5. You slept in for the first time in a long time.

6. You played the "I am a guest in this house" card every time your parents asked you to do a favor. 

Thanksgiving Break is honestly a hate-love relationship. We love getting time off, eating to our heart's content, and doing absolutely nothing. On the other hand, we hate all the homework we have after, all the exams we have coming back, and once again sleeping about two hours every night.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
