1. When you’re desperately trying to make it through the last week knowing that you’ll be free from school soon.
2. Trying to write that paper that’s due several hours before you can take off and go home.
3. Arriving home, and being asked, “how are your grades?” by mom and dad.
4. When you’re actually able to eat copious amounts of food without any cost (because holiday calories don’t count, right?).
5. When the pumpkin pie tastes different, and you ask your mom what she changed in the recipe.
6. Before you know it, Sunday comes, and it’s back to cramming in all the work you didn’t complete while enjoying yourself the whole five days you had off.
