13 Alice In Wonderland Quotes For College Students

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite movies, the Disney one that is. Based on the book by Lewis Carroll, it is full of colorful characters and absurdity. The book is actually more insane than the movie. Filled with allegory, symbolism and straight up silliness, it is a wide ride, much like how college can feel to us. Much like Alice roaming around Wonderland, college is an adventure to us. Let's face it, when we got accepted to college, we went down the rabbit hole. We've cried, met mad people, played strange games and probably have drank something we shouldn't have. Here are some quotes from Alice in Wonderland to help you get through college.

1. "Curiouser and curiouser."

Ok so not grammatically correct, but it is the reason we came to college, to learn more.

2. “Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

And then coffee will help you realize they are impossible.

3. “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.”


Anyone else tired of the surveys your school makes you complete to see your grades?

4. "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!"


For class that is.

5. "It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change."


For when you have to take a class way outside your major.

6. “Alice: How long is forever? White Rabbit: Sometimes, just one second.”


There is always that one really boring lecture that never finishes.

7. “I'm afraid I can't explain myself, sir. Because I am not myself, you see?”

At this point, it is time to call an uber and go back to your dorm.

8. “If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there.”


Haven't decided on a major or what to do after you graduate? Try new things and see where they take you.

9. “Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.”


Just when you can't seem to understand those upper level courses.

10. “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”


Sometimes you need to take a step back and find yourself.

11. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"


What you think your first essay question will look like.

12. “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”


Every day you are at college, you grow and chance. It is meant to be an overall positive experience.

13. “We're all mad here.”


Even when you think college is driving you crazy, it is doing the same to everyone else. We are all a little mad here, but aren't the best people mad?

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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."
