Waiting for Christmas Break is a bit like sitting through the opera: it’s a long, painful stretch of time that goes on forever and leaves you feeling confused and a little out of sorts. Nothing short of Christmas morning will save you from this misery, but classes haven’t even finished yet. Between now and that lovely, hungover Christmas morning when you’re opening presents, here’s everything you can expect to happen while you wait.
You’ve written off the entire month of December until Christmas morning
Work? Socializing? Netflix is your life now.
The temperature drop has hit you hard
To quote Withnail and I, you’re “drifting into the arena of the unwell”.
Now that it gets dark at 4pm, you’ve become a recluse
As the French say, l’enfer c’est les autres.
You’re snowed under with work...

You’ve barricaded your dorm room. It’s just you, energy drinks and your mounting pile of assignments.
...And you’re not entirely sure how you’ll make it through Finals Week
Why make Finals Week before Christmas break? It’s sadistic.
