Winter break has officially started, and we are all excited to be home, spend time with family and friends, and relax now that finals are over. Exemplified here are both the joys and struggles of having a month of school off.

So, you're finally done with finals, and it's time to go home!

The ride home is full of pure happiness. You can't wait to see your family and friends.

When you do, you wonder why you ever left home in the first place.

You celebrate the holidays with your family, and things couldn't be better!

You "treat yo self" in every way you possibly can because, well, you deserve it. And yes, that includes eating waffles for every meal...

...and sleeping copious amounts every day.

Then, early January comes around, and it starts to get unbearably cold.

Your parents keep asking you to do things you don't feel like doing, like household chores or preparing for next semester.

You begin to really miss your college friends, even though you've been texting them ever since you left campus.

And you're just really bored at home.

You might even be so bored that you feel yourself losing brain cells due to lack of intellectual activity.

You decide that this Winter Break should have ended weeks ago, and that you are more than ready to head back to school.

Then, finally, the waiting is over! The time has come to head back to your favorite place on Earth and reunite with your favorite people. The ride there is full of anticipation, and you hug your friends right when you see them.

You're back where you belong. Bring on the new semester!
