College: No time to do anything fun because of finals

3. Childhood: Your Christmas list consisted of Barbies, Barbies, and Barbies

College: All you want is money

4. Childhood: You woke up energetic at 6am to open presents

College: Can’t even imagine waking up before 11am

5. Childhood: So excited to see your relatives on Christmas!

College: Do I have to socialize?

6. Childhood: You get to play with your friends all winter break

College: All of your friends are in different states. Needless to say, you can’t wait to get back to school
