Going Home For Break As Told By April Ludgate

Going Home For Break As Told By April Ludgate
Tumblr

If you've seen NBC's comedy sitcom , "Parks and Recreation", you probably know April Ludgate as the cynical yet witty character whose every line has probably been drenched in sarcasm. And with college students going home for winter break to spend time with their families and friends, I thought, what better way to describe the experience than through April Ludgate quips?

With that said, here are eight quotes that you may relate to if you are headed home this holiday season:

1. When you see your mom for the first time in weeks and she's a little more affectionate than you expected:

2. When you've just given your sister her Christmas present, but you're not really the touchy-feely type:

3. When you've had a long, stressful semester at college and you can't even remember what you're interested in outside of academics:

4. I'm sure you feel this way toward at least one person in your family: (Maybe an older sibling? Your aunt?)

5. If you're from a large family and everyone tries to talk to you about how you're doing and how's school and whether you've found a girlfriend/boyfriend yet, you will eventually find yourself thinking:

6. When you're watching your young cousins play an intense game of "Capture the Flag":

7. ...and then they ask you to join them:

8. Just because it's Christmas time:

Surely not everybody is this moody or pessimistic about spending time with their families as I might have made it seem with these quotes, but we each have a hint of April Ludgate in us when it comes to extensive interactions with a nosy, energetic family.

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.
