11 Things That Happen At The End Of The School Year As Told By Syracuse Basketball

1. It's the biggest deal when you go to your 8 a.m. and your friends are so proud of you.

When getting up at 7:30 a.m. is part of your schedule two times a week, it is actually a rare occurrence that you actually show up to class. When you tell your friends that you went, they're so surprised and so happy for you.


2. The surprise factor of opening your grades on blackboard gets higher and higher.

Some of the best moments in life are those when you find out you aced a test that you took in which you didn't study for and you were still drunk from the night before.


3. There has been too many times when your teacher has called you out for not doing most of your home work.

It's that point in the semester where you're almost done and you don't have the energy to do school anymore. So basically, the teachers should "deal with it."


4. When you're sitting at your 9:30 AM on Friday and you're the only one hungover.


Who am I going to school with? What am I doing with my life? But last night was too worth not being able to listen to my TA rant right now.


5. It's time to block the teacher from putting an F on Blackboard.

You're GPA is suffering so much and your only shot of passing is going to the teacher's Office Hours and stopping them from putting in that grade.


6. With 3 weeks left you gotta live life to the fullest by going out 5 nights of the week.

You're getting out of control and your friends try talking to you and get some sense into you.

7. When you realize you have three finals on the same day.


But the office won't let you move one.


8. The struggle is real when you have two projects but you've already given up with school.

Your friends will give you motivation to keep striving.


9. At this point in the semester, you haven't seen your family in a month and you won't for another one.

Otto's got it right... you miss your family. Even though you'll get annoyed with them within two days of being home for summer.


10. You're shocked to find that it still going to snow all week even though summer is three weeks away.


We are well into spring yet when you look out the window in the morning, you are scared to find snow on the ground when just last week everyone was wearing shorts while sitting on the quad.


11. When you realize that there is only a month left of school.


This year went by way to fast. It feels like the first tailgate of the year was last month, or that Halloween was just last weekend. The real question is what are you gonna do without your roommate for the whole summer, or having somewhere to go every night, waking up without your two parents in your face?

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."
