The Post-Thanksgiving Break Slump, As Told By Friends

Yeah it's going to be a rough week...two weeks...month but we are all in the same boat.

It's the first week back to school after Thanksgiving break. The roller coaster of emotions is never ending nor is the impending doom of finals and projects. But luckily you're not alone because Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Joey and Chandler can relate.

1. Yay! I get to see my friends again!

You haven't seen each other in over a week and that was too much so here come the reunion hugs and "omg how was your break?"

2. I miss home.

Sure it's great to be back at school but nothing beats being in your own house with your dogs and family. Oh, and showering without flip-flops.

3. Reminiscing on that turkey.

I don't know about you but that has got to be one of the best meals I had had in the past three months. After being used to dining hall food I felt like a queen enjoying an amazing feast.

4. Having to go back to dining hall food.

Yeah... it's hard to convince yourself to walk through those double doors leading you to the sub-par food that will be your meal plan until winter break, after being spoiled with amazing food for the past week.

5. Coming back to your dorm.


Whether it was realizing you forgot how small your dorm was or coming back to the mess you left behind when you were packing to go home, it's a weird feeling to come back to that little corner that you used to tell yourself was big enough.

6. Realizing you have 12378648 things due by the end of the week.

When you realize that all of those December due dates are actually this weekend...

7. Not only is winter coming but so are finals.

Yup. It's the home stretch. Just power through. (*has 10683 anxiety attacks*)

8. Realizing the HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!!!

Yeah finals suck but that means the holidays are right around the corner and if that isn't enough to get you excited I don't know what will!!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
