The Holiday After Effect

        Unfortunately, the holidays are now over. No more stuffing your faces with friends and family and forgetting about school, no more anticipation for Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Year's Eve, and we're forced to say goodbye to the family that came into town to visit. All of that is gone. Then the holiday after effects kick in where we're forced to go back to normal. We have to go back to school, to work, you know all of that stuff that isn't always fun to do but we still have to. 
       To wake up after a long, relaxing break at 6 in the morning to get ready for school is really depressing, that's the best way to put it. It's even more depressing when you have to go in for a zero hour class because you can't get at least another half hour of sleep in like most people. Not only that but you also have to get up from your warm, comforting bed while it's like 15 degrees out, clear ice is on the ground, and you still can see the moon out, that's really depressing. And then, you shudder at the thought that the next break isn't until March! Until March! Until. March. Which means that from now until March we have school everyday, the only things to look forward to are early dismissals and a few days scattered in that time period with no school. 
       So how am I going to get through it? Easy, I'm not. All I can do is take it one day at a time, keep up with my school work and get ahead if possible, reward myself with an occasional movie or shopping trip with friends or maybe even head over to Orange Leaf (yes, it's perfectly fine to have frozen yogurt in Winter, who said you couldn't?). That's how I'll get through these last months until the next break. I think pretty much everyone would agree that the time after all the holidays is kind of depressing but we always find a way to get through it. 
       We get back into the swing of things to get through. We go to school or work or practice like normal, we hang out with friends like usual, and we stress about that upcoming Algebra 2 test because we really suck at math so we ask our good friend for help and love driving him crazy during the process, that's how we're able to get through the holiday after effect.
