10 Thoughts Everyone Has Coming Back to School After Thanksgiving Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

After weeks and weeks of eager anticipation, Thanksgiving break has finally come. But soon enough, you’ve found yourself back in the bipolar weather/frozen tundra that is the Burgh. Whether you’re still denying that you’re back or you’re still in break-mode, here are some common thoughts that we’ve all struggled with post-break:

1. Denial

This can’t be happening to me!

2. Still denying it.

NOT LETTING GO!

3. Realization.

*cries*

4. Realization that you didn’t do your homework.

…homework over break? What is this nonsense?

5. Realization that you have that test/presentation/project TOMORROW.

Just the thought of doing homework makes me cringe.

6. Realization that you should probably start doing something.

Nah, it can wait.

7. Netflix.

I’m never getting off this couch.

8. Mmm, a cookie sounds good right about now.

*downs the entire box of Thin Mints*

9. Realizing that finals are next week.

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!

10. To study or not to study….

Let’s use some good ‘ole logic here….

But fear not! Only two (or perhaps one by now) weeks until winter break!

LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN.

Emma Shi is a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in Decision Science (so she can learn how to make a decision, hopefully) and a self-diagnosed shopaholic. Along with contributing to Her Campus, she is also on the varsity swim team and in Tartan Athelete Fellowship. Her passions include all things pink, French fries, cake, skiing, New York City, and the clearance rack. She has secret ambitions of becoming an extreme couponer or the next Lauren Conrad. Unfortunately, she doesn't have an Instagram or Twitter account, but you will most likely find her on campus keeping it classy (aka probably being awkward). 
I am a junior Materials Science and Engineering mjaor at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am also minoring in Professional Writing and Business. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.  I love TV and trying out new beauty products.  I follow E! on Twitter so that I can stay up-to-date on celebrity news.  I'm royal-obsessed, and I love Kate Middleton's style.  I'm kind of a Sephora addict, and I could easily spend hours there.  I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.  Finally, I love hockey and all Pittsburgh sports.
