With Christmas rolling around another year, we have to welcome all the attached horrid misfortunes that come along with it. As a college student winter break is clearly among one of the worst breaks of the entire year. I sympathize with my fellow college peers as I realize how much we wish school was still in session. Here is a compilation for all my fellow friends home for the holiday season on why the holiday season is so awful.
1. You are showered with family's love. Gross.
I mean I have to see all my family that I haven't seen in months. It is awful being welcomed home by my siblings and caring parents as they all try to hug me and tell me how much they missed me. I mean who actually loves their family anyway??
2. You can click off all your alarms and sleep in as late as you please. Bite me.
I love being woken up early every morning with an ear piercing buzzer alarm. I sigh as I have to switch off all my seven morning alarms as I now unfortunately am stuck with sleeping in and getting an adequate nights rest.
3. You can eat normal, cooked meals. Eww.
I had to say goodbye to my granola bars, ramen noodles, and quick-trip and cheap snacks as I ventured home. Now, being home, I am constantly being bought good food and prepared home cooked meals. Having my wallet not being stripped bare by all the food I buy when I am away has got to be the worst of it all. Eating balanced food and good quality meals for free....could it get any worse?!!?
4. You receive much wanted gifts for Christmas. Please, I have enough already.
As the morning of Christmas arrives, the gifts I have anticipated or money given to me brings about quite a frown. Gifts have always been the worse part of Christmas. Don't even get me started on giving gifts to people...
Hope the holidays do not give everyone too hard of a time. Good luck fellow holiday goers.
