I will sleep in, apply for big kid jobs, and probably cry.

When we first turn 21, we go out and do all of the things that we couldn't do before.

The same thing applies when we graduate from college. There was so much that we couldn't say or do before, but now we have that $50,000 - $500,000 piece of paper that allows us all opportunity to "be an adult" and do what we want.

Here are 10 things I will do now that I've graduated college:

1. Spend the first month binge watching all the shows I couldn't watch while studying.

2. Sleep in passed 10 am on a Monday for the first time in 5 years.

3. Throw away all of the notebooks. highlighters, and other, now useless, things in my house.

4. Apply for all of the big kid jobs that I can.

5. Cry after realizing the demands of a big kid job.

6. Make sure everyone I encounter for the next two months knows that I am a college graduate.


7. Rub it in the faces of everyone who still has to go to classes.

8. Enjoy having money in my bank account before having to pay back student loans.

9. Debate going back to school to avoid having to pay back said loans.

10. Realize that I am officially now an adult and no one can fuck with me.

I will accomplish all of these within the next couple of months. And number 10 is the rest of my life. Just you wait.

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."

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!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
