The 10 Events Of Girl Scout Cookie Season
uproxx.files.wordpress.com

It’s back, ladies and gentlemen. In addition to buying all your other groceries, at the entrance of each super market will be a group of adorable little girls selling the greatest gift we’ve been given as a human race. That’s right, it’s Girl Scout Cookie season.

From Thin Mints to Samoas and even Tag-a-longs, you’re stuffing your face full of deliciousness. You also don’t realize how much money you’ve spent because they’re so damn good and that sense of guilt rises over you if you pass a troop and don’t buy their cookies. As a former Girl Scout, I know the struggle of selling enough boxes of cookies. (It’s hard out there on the streets). Everyone has their favorites and no one has any limits on how many they can eat. Cookie season is a struggle in itself, and the gang from "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" knows exactly what our struggles are like every year. We may not be running a bar in Philly, but they can relate to cookie season with us.


You see the first official table of girls selling Girl Scout cookies at the grocery store.

You buy more than your fair share of boxes and rush home to eat all your cookies.

After putting away three boxes of Thin Mints, you realize you are once again going down a dark path; a path that involves too many cookies and a dent in your wallet.

When someone says they don't like Thin Mints and you just can't wrap your head around it because Thin Mints are amazing.

When someone eats your last box of Thin Mints...

There's always that one girl who outsells any other girl in her troop.

You lose count of how many cookies you've actually eaten and admit that you have a problem.

You pass by the Girl Scouts on your way out of the grocery store and awkwardly look at each other until you both realize you can't even afford to buy any more cookies.

You take a week off of the cookies and are ready to buy some more, when you realize cookie season is over, and no more Samoas for a whole year.


Now you drown yourself in tears and leftover cookie crumbs until next year rolls around. Enjoy it while you can, because just like love, Girl Scout cookies are fleeting.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

As this semester wraps up, students can’t help but be stressed about finals. After all, our GPAs depends on these grades! What student isn’t worrying about their finals right now? It’s “goodbye social life, hello library” time from now until the end of finals week.

1. Finals are weeks away, I’m sure I’ll be ready for them when they come.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
