The Struggles of Going Back to School After Thanksgiving Break

Going back to school for the final weeks of the semester is always one of the hardest things to do, but push through. You will make it.


Getting the motivation to leave home and go back to school is a joke.

You get back on campus and have no energy to do the homework you didn’t do over break.

Going to bed at a reasonable time is impossible because you spent every night over break watching Netflix until 2 a.m.

You hit snooze on your alarm close to 17 times the next morning.

You show up to class and don’t want to pay attention because how much more can you really learn during the last two weeks?

The weeks seem to move slower and slower.

Then, when finals week gets here, it feels like it came by way too fast.

You look at your final and feel as though you didn't even read the textbook (whether or not you actually did).

After finals, you feel so good, you’re excited to go home, you can't wait to pet your dogs and sleep in.

Then, you remember that you have to start the process over again next semester.

But maybe next semester will be better, right?

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
