Being Home For Christmas Break As Told By 'Parks And Rec'

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year and because of that, the best show is here to help us explain our feelings about that month back home.

Finals week is hard time for all of us. Necessities like sleep and eating seem to no longer be a priority and you are ready to be home for the holidays.

All you can think about is traveling home, far far away from your responsibilities.

Finally, the time is here. The car is packed and you are ready for a month of guilt free Netflix binging and not having to do your own grocery shopping.

The first few days are spent catching up on the sleep you've missed the past semester.

After you have caught up on doing nothing, you decide it's time to be social and catch up with some friends from high school.

Then you realize you haven't talked to most of them in three years and you'd rather watch Netflix by yourself.

Unfortunately, Netflix watching can be pretty boring when you're not supposed to be studying for a test and your parents don't want to hear your complaining.

You realize that it's only been a week, you've run out of Netflix shows and you really miss your college friends.

You resort to making them talk to you 24/7 so you can pretend you are together.

When that doesn't work, you decide maybe you'll just spend some time with your parents.

After conversations about money, grades and future plans you decide that wasn't your best idea.

You never thought the day would come, but it's finally time to head back to the promised land: full of friends and no one asking you about your relationship status.

Until you realize that means it's time to start a new semester.

Don't worry -- summer will be here before you know it!

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.
