1. When you get through all of your midterms without dying.

Exams Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. Papers due Tuesday and Friday. Stress every day, am I right?

2. Knowing you get to go home and see your dog.

Because we all know they're the ones we miss the most.

3. Realizing you’re going to have to see all your friends' pictures as they travel to exotic locations while you’re at home.

Don't get me wrong, being home is great! But something about knowing your friends are looking out at a blue ocean and you're looking at dead grass is a bummer.

4. When you’re relaxing after just getting home and your mom starts asking you to empty the dishwasher and vacuum the basement.

OK, technically those aren't my dishes, lady.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F6359410169179181061788084394_200-9.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=832&h=dcd6faf7a5d5a16659c37ef85873ae732b492dac3a5d61e0e13db15213390987&size=980x&c=2598095556 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F6359410169179181061788084394_200-9.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D832%26h%3Ddcd6faf7a5d5a16659c37ef85873ae732b492dac3a5d61e0e13db15213390987%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2598095556%22%7D" expand=1]

5. When your professor says that you can’t wait until the last night of break to start your five page paper due when you get back.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F635941019524385094-1697000800_200-8.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=414&h=1d0346ca47cd8e1b77269ca0fbfe84c6b2b6b55adefb61377189cb369da40722&size=980x&c=2371763244 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F635941019524385094-1697000800_200-8.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D414%26h%3D1d0346ca47cd8e1b77269ca0fbfe84c6b2b6b55adefb61377189cb369da40722%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2371763244%22%7D" expand=1]

6. Looking at your syllabuses to see what you have due after break.

It should really be called spring (not so) break.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F63594102192727330530170734_200-12.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=652&h=fd0618cde2e56515863fd761e4cd909bff946f21cb7ac3dd72b2246ae047f2b2&size=980x&c=2906723606 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F63594102192727330530170734_200-12.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D652%26h%3Dfd0618cde2e56515863fd761e4cd909bff946f21cb7ac3dd72b2246ae047f2b2%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2906723606%22%7D" expand=1]

7. Getting to drive your car again.

Nothing like the freedom of having a car again. Target, here I come.

8. When your mom asks you to empty the dishwasher for the 45th time after you failed to get to it the last 44 times.

Sorry mom, I'm really in the middle of something important. I've committed myself to Netflix today, and I don't break promises.

9. When one by one, all your friends at home with you go back to school.

Now who am I supposed to watch hours of TV with?

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F20%2F635941025353373906497317099_200-11.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=303&h=b18fef9820b4515a2d18e09c9ce138ee3a52909fe4cce106e687ad04f08ec05b&size=980x&c=1205539063 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F20%252F635941025353373906497317099_200-11.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D303%26h%3Db18fef9820b4515a2d18e09c9ce138ee3a52909fe4cce106e687ad04f08ec05b%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1205539063%22%7D" expand=1]

10. When you start to think about how soon you’ll be back on your cool college campus with your cool college friends, being awesome.

It's going to be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY! Sorry, had to put that in there.

Life Is Messy

Finding who you are in your 20s

Life Is Messy
https://www.pexels.com/photo/shallow-focus-photography-of-yellow-sunflower-field-under-sunny-sky-1169084/

I am 25 years old and just now learning who I am. When I separated from my husband I was terrified of what would follow. I did not know who I was outside of a relationship, nor did I know how to be on my own. It was scary, and I was so lost. I spent months discovering who I was, and what I wanted to be. I am still searching as I believe we never truly know who we are even when we "grow up". I came to the realization that I had been hiding a part of myself for my entire life. Coming out was not easy, growing up in the church made it scary, and hard. I was told growing up that being anything but straight was such a sin, and that i would spent my life in hell because of it. I came out to my parents when I was 25 years old. I picked up the phone and called my mom, and uttered the words "I'm queer" through tears. I knew my parents would be supportive, but that didn't make it any easier for me to vulnerable and raw. Since then, I have slowly started being more authentic in who I am, and not hide parts of me just because of people's shitty opinions.

It was six in the evening. I was sitting in the courtyard of a Renaissance-era Italian villa, glancing around at the statues, most notably one of a boy removing a thorn from his foot. Despite the supposedly relaxing setting, I was incredibly anxious. My phone was at less than 5 percent battery, and once it died I would be completely disconnected from my family and peers, alone in one of the largest art museums in the country.
