As hard as it is to believe, November is already here! That means that Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and then eventually Christmas! As college students, we start to do certain things once November gets here. Below are just ten of many things that college students do once that eleventh month arrives:

1. Go to stores and buy Halloween candy because it goes on sale November 1st!

2. Realize that we basically have only ONE month to get our GPA and grades up.

3. Think about what we really have learned in the last three months that we have been in school.

4. Schedule for the next semester, which is NOT that easy to do, talk about stress!

5. Realizing that the classes you want or need to get in are already full.

6. Not wanting to go to classes anymore, but know you have to in order to try and do something about your grades.

7. Look at the hundreds of due dates that you have coming up in the next two months.

8. Start crying because you know that eventually you will have to get out of your nice and warm bed and walk to class in the snow and cold!

9. Realize that finals are NEXT month, that is a scary thought for many and just makes us want to have a mental breakdown now!

10. Think of all the great food that you will be eating over Thanksgiving break and ignore the fact that you have work you should be doing and have work that is due very soon.

There you have it, just ten of many things that just about all college students do once November gets here! As a college student, I can say that November is probably one of the hardest months to get through because of the stress of trying to keep your grades up, getting ready for finals, and trying to figure out what your schedule should look like for the upcoming semester!

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.
