Oh the beauty of Thanksgiving break. It squeezes its way just perfectly in the midst of a super busy last month of the semester and forces you to be lazy.
At the start of my week, I had made a "laundry list" of all the school-related tasks I needed to complete over the five day (including the weekend days) break.
To my dismay, I finished the work quicker than I had expected and spent the majority of two days basking in the laziness of a sit-on-the-couch-day-and-watch-nothing-but-Hallmark-Christmas-movies. I made frequent trips to my planner to re-look over all the items that needed to get done before my last full week of classes and then final week filled with {two} exams. Every time I opened my planner, I found the same lines of words crossed out in black sharpie.
Maybe it would make me feel just a little bit better if I wrote the words "be lazy and enjoy it" in my planner so I didn't feel as if I was being completely unproductive.

With less than two weeks to go in my second to last semester, I am truly unsure of how to feel. There is a mix of emotions associated with my undergraduate graduation coming up in about six months - all my life I have only but dreamed of 'growing up' and starting my career and budgeting my finances; and now it is all lined up for me, all I have to do is take the leap off the diving board into the adult world where I will become my own little adult human.
I am ready and desperately in need of this Christmas break, this semester has been slightly brutal but, however, it does not compare the my next and final semester to come. And knowing this break is my last break as an undergraduate college student makes things a little bitter-sweet.
