Coming Home For The Holidays, As Told By "Friends"

To any college student reading this: congratulations, you finally made it through finals week and you are finally home for the holidays! After a long week full of work, papers, and tests, we are finally home for a nice break. Here is what it is like to come home from college for winter break, as told by the cast of "Friends":

Walking into your house after a full day of traveling from school to home

No matter how much you slept on your way home, you are still exhausted after a long travel day. Boy are you ready for a long break full of sleep, and even more sleep.

Getting at least 10 hours of sleep your first night home

You are a sleep deprived college student who just endured a long semester, your parents should not expect you to sleep any less.

Taking a really long shower and using up all of the hot water in your house


You just spent 4 months sharing a shower with everyone on your floor, you deserve to take a long, hot shower (without shower shoes) to feel clean and refreshed.

Eating real food (that is not from the dining hall)

You missed nothing more than a home cooked meal by your parents, even if your parents' cooking isn't the best. Anything tastes better than dining hall food.

Reuniting with your best friends

Running into old high school friends,


And running into people you wish you could avoid

Catching up on everyone's lives

And learning juicy gossip about your former classmates.

And most importantly, spending time with your family (who you missed so much)


I hope everyone has a good holiday and a good winter break!

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.
