Christmas break is just around the corner. We've worked so hard and the thought of finals starting this week is scary, but what's even more scary is the thought of break being six weeks long. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm pumped to go home and see my dog and friends, but there is only so much time at home before you get bored and are begging to come back to Oxford early. So, here are a few things that I'll miss.
1. The Square
The Square is our little gem. Our nightlife/bar's, and some of the best restaurants and shops in town.
2. Friends
Honestly you live with them, have class with them and are with them everyday. Once you go home you feel out of place. Like you're happy to be home but you miss your friends so much that you feel different. Lets just say facetime is a lifesaver during break.
3. Restaurants
BBB, Boure, Casa Mexicana, South Depot, AJax, Phillips Grocery!!! Must I go on??? Every restaurant in Oxford is delish and I know I can speak for all of us when I say we're gonna miss all the restaurants here so much during break.
5. The Coffee Shops
I'm not a fan of coffee, but I am a lover of coffee shops. Oxford has been blessed with having some adorable shops (and no I'm not talking about Starbucks). High Point, Cups, and Shelter. Oh and btw, Cups is open 24/7 during finals week ;).
6. The University of Mississippi-Ole Miss
Not everyone can say they go to America's ;). Ole Miss is a special and treasured place and it's a place we love so much. From just walking around campus, to football games, the mems in the dorms, frat parties, meals at your Greek House and the thought that you're walking all the way to Alabama when you walk to commuter parking because it's so far away. Ole Miss, I love you; six weeks is too long without ya.
The thought that it's already December and first semester is basically over makes me wanna cry. The thought that I'm basically halfway though my college career makes me wanna cry even more (wish I was a freshman again). Thanks for the memories for this semester Oxford and Ole Miss, we'll miss ya. See you in January.
