12 Thoughts Impatient College Kids Are Having Before Thanksgiving Break, As Told By 'Parks And Rec'

Stressed beyond belief? Frantically running around from class to on-campus event to work? Constantly mentally and physically exhausted wishing Thanksgiving break would be sooner?

Yeah, me too.

College kids, I feel your pain. I truly do.

1. "OK, so I'm guessing professors must hangout together and talk on a daily basis or something, considering they assign every huge assignment ON. THE. SAME. DAY.

2. "If I keep looking at my planner I'm probably going to give myself a nervous breakdown." 

There is nothing better than your color coordinated, anxiously filled planner full of due assignments and events that you would rather skip, and instead cuddle in your bed.

3. "Should I go get a drink at the bar with my friends to forget about all the responsibilities I have?"

Drinks with your friend at the local bar is always a move.

4. "I could really go for a homemade dinner right about now instead of a bowl of ramen and peanut butter sandwich."

Let's face it, nothing beats mom's cooking! Soon enough we won't need to cook for ourselves meals that aren't legit real meals.

5. "Why did I chose to come to college again?"

I ask myself this question every day...

6. "I haven't been home in so long my dog probably already forgot who I was." 

7. *To my friend who needs even more emotional support and encouragement than I do during these over-exhausting times*

We all have our people that know how to make us smile and encourage us to do well when all we want to do is sit and watch Netflix!

8. "The only thing I'm looking forward to is seeing my boyfriend for the first time in over a month."

Long distance relationships suck, am I right? There is truly nothing better than reuniting back at home with your significant other and spending the holidays together away from all the distance and stress of school!

9. "I wonder how long I can go without doing my laundry before I go home so I don't have to waste all my quarters." 

Lets just hope we can last long enough so Mom can take care of our laundry for us when we get back!

10. "I can't believe I just got assigned a 10 page paper the day before I leave for break..."

11. "I just genuinely don't think I can continue this lifestyle anymore."

If I take one more midterm... I really think I will lose my mind.

12. "I have an assignment due the Monday we get back from 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.
