The longest period of time in any school year is the long lull between Christmas Break and Spring Break. With a month of being at home, having mom and dad pay for everyday essentials, eating home cooked meals, and living without a care in the world, going back to the stress of exams and quizzes doesn't exactly sound ideal. Though we love our friends and living life without a curfew, the post-Christmas Break blues are about to be seriously real. In so many ways, our lives are similar to that of the always "floopy" Phoebe Buffay.

The beginning of the semester is so bittersweet. You're overly excited to see your friends...

And a brand new schedule that maybe won't be so terrifing as the one before.

You have a replenished meal plan and bank account.

You have not a worry in the world on your first night back until you roommate, so generously, reminds you that classes begin tomorrow.

Then you remember how expensive your books are going to be.

You map out where all of your classes are and realize that they're on opposite sides of campus from each other.

You're annoyed with a million things already and then your roommate tops it off by throwing his/her clothes on the floor.

On the way to class, someone is walking super slow in front of you and there is no sidewalk wide enough to pass them.

Your profs hand out the syllabus and enforce every policy that they're required to emphasize. This isn't your first rodeo.

Thankfully, you're allowed to leave as soon as the syllabus has been reviewed.

Time for the first nap of the semester. You made it through your first day back. That's a blessing on its own.
