This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Helsinki chapter.
1. Denial
It can’t be. It was just yesterday when that last essay was turned in, those last exams were written, the lights were twinkling outside, everyone was Christmas shopping, Christmas music was playing on the radio 24/7…
2. Anger
How? HOW?! How did this happen?! How did we let this happen? Why is Christmas over? This is not okay.
3. Bargaining
You try to convince yourself that maybe you can keep up your Netflix binge-watching schedule and get uni work done at the same time.
4. Depression
This strategy fails miserably. You’re already behind on work. And still not up to date on your favorite show.
5. Acceptance
Oh well. At least the days are getting longer now. Although we won’t really be able to tell until March, but whatever.
