Right around now is a glorious time for all of us: winter break. Most of us are coming home and spending time with our families. Winter break is glorious, as shown by some of my favorite people.
1. When you're all dressed for a Holiday party and your mom doesn't approve.
Let's be real.... we've all had to change because mom said so.
2. When you run into your high school classmates, their parents, and your exes...
How many times will I be forced to answer what my major is and who I'm dating now?
3. When anyone in your family asks you to cook or do chores.
Same Pheebs...
4. When someone takes the food you clearly set aside for yourself.
I haven't had a good home-cooked meal in months, why do you betray me so?
5. And even though you claim to be an adult, you still fight like a 6 year-old when it comes to your siblings.
Sibling love... there's nothing like it am I right?
6. When you're meeting up with your friends after being at different colleges for so so long!
Yes, this is really what girls talk about...
7. When relatives come to visit and ask about your (nonexistent) significant other.
But thanks for asking Grandma.
8. When those relatives drone on and on and on.... and holiday dinner still hasn't been served.
That's great Aunt Dorris, can you tell me this after you bring me cake?
9. When your parents make jokes at your expense in front of all the relatives and friends.
Lol yeah mom, let's talk some more about that guy that dumped me or the class I failed, LOL (btw I'm not really laughing).
10. When your family wakes you up too early.
It is 2:00 in the afternoon, did no one teach you common courtesy?
11. When your family and friends ask about the rest of your life.
I am in my third semester... I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow.
12. When that one family member starts making sexual references or arguing with another relative.
Insert sexist, racist, drunk uncle here...
13. And that one cousin that brings his annoying new girlfriend that you know the entire family is gonna talk about once she leaves.
At least the attention is off your lack of love life for a while.
14. And of course there's always one person...
We've all had that moment...
15. But then again you're on break so you can block it all out cause at least it's not homework or an exam or a professor or anything school related.
My parents' hot tub is more than 75% of the reason I come home.
In the end, family is insane but break with them is pretty great.
