Thanksgiving Break is that stage of Limbo before everything hits you. The stress, the assignments, the calculations of what you need to get on the final so that you get the grade you want. We all know what’s coming. But, to add to the procrastination you’re already accomplishing by being on this article, here’s everything mapped out by Harry Potter.

Knowing that Thanksgiving Break is the last time in the next several weeks that you can relax, so you let go of responsibility completely.


Coming back and realizing- Oh. We’re at the end of the semester. I’m supposed to have read this entire textbook.

Being slightly afraid of the frustration you’ve had bottled up all semester.

You’re sleep deprived and running off some sort of caffeinated energy, so you start to get a little… weird.

Cringing every time you go in public, because you don’t remember the last time you took a study break long enough to shower.

Trying to politely tell everyone around you that they’re being much too loud for you to study. For the tenth time.

The constant feeling that you’re going to implode from all the stress.

When people try to invite you to do things the week before finals.

Trying not to be emotionally attached to anything, for fear of a mental breakdown.

Bonding with everyone over the fact that you’re all equally emotionally unstable.

Again on the emotional instability, struggling to not let it seep into everything you do.

The one happy perk of finals week: everyone is encouraging. No one wants their peers to fail. We’re in this together.

The panic you feel walking into your final.

Getting your grades back and you DIDN’T completely fail.

So here is comes. You know it’s happening, and there’s no avoiding it. Now keep that procrastination going and click on another Odyssey article, because God forbid you actually prepare for finals week.

And best of luck.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
