10 Signs You Are Officially Soooo Over This Semester

The end of semester is so close yet so far within our grasp, that it feels like college students don't know whether to celebrate or continue having mental breakdowns. Finals are coming up, last minute papers are due, and you are as broke and hungry as ever, that you are counting down the days until you can go home and hibernate for all of winter break.

So let's take a look at the top ten signs that prove every college student across the country seems to be over the fall semester. **Que the panic attacks and frequent sobbing**

1. When Showering Becomes Less Frequent And You Are Practically Out Of Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner

Who has time to shower anymore, let alone have all of the sanitary supplies needed to smell great after the shower. Between your schedule of questioning your future, cramming an entire semesters worth of catching up, and crying persistently on the phone to your parents about your life...who has time for hygiene and showers?

2. You Try To Figure Out Your Class Grade In Case Of Failing The Final/ Not Bothering To Hand In The Final Paper/Assignment


At this point in the semester you are just completely burnt out and have no more energy to finish all of your assignments that you left until the last minute. So bust out that calculator and let's hope that the odds are in your favor...

3. Your Bank Account Is So Sad That It Makes You Want To Cry


Congratulations! Your bank account is officially non-existent! I don't know about you, but let's not add up all the money you threw away on alcohol, going out, and late night hunger cravings...the results are frightening!

4. Naps Become Essential


At the beginning of the semester you were so motivated and full of energy! Now, your naps are becoming longer and more frequent. Let's be honest, if you didn't set 20 alarms, would you even wake up after your 6 hour nap?

5. Procrastination Is Not Your Friend


Even as your "To-Do" list grows longer, you just keep making excuses to do the work at a later time. Usually, you'll start the assignment the night before or a few hours before you have to submit it.

6. Your Outfits Are Starting To Look Ridiculous


Who has time to do laundry with all of the naps you are taking and all of the mental breakdowns your are having? At this point in the semester your outfits usually consist of sweats, items of clothing that you're not sure if it is clean or dirty, and absolutely no sense of style!

7. "Assigned Reading" Is The Funniest Attempt At A Joke You've Ever Heard


At the beginning of the semester you were so on top of all of your assignments--including assigned reading! Now at the end of the semester your strategy for passing and staying sane is: if I don't have to hand it in or it doesn't receive a grade, then why bother?!

8. You And Your Friends Unanimously Plan On Skipping Class


At this point in the semester you fall into one of two categories. 1. You've either run out of absences for every single one of your classes or 2. You and your friends strategically plan when to skip the remainder of your classes together.

9. You're So Sick Of Every Food Option On Campus


When you've been eating the same options for meals for months on end now...you can go a little crazy until you get a home-cooked meal fix! You're sick of the take-out options, the dining facilities, and how every time you go into the cafeteria it feels like you're going to starve because nothing looks appetizing.

10. You Start Rewarding Yourself For Accomplishing The Most Basic Tasks


Whether it's cleaning your room, or doing something that you are required to do, you always feel the need to reward yourself for all of the hard work you just put in...for about 20 minutes, and let me tell you it was exhausting!

So to those of you that are officially over this semester, don't forget there's only a few more weeks until it's over...and then you can start stressing over next semester! However, in the meantime feel free to reward yourself for reading this article!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

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 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."
