We're stressed enough already.

13 Things College Students Are Tired Of Hearing

College can be rough. With the piles of homework, hours without sleep, and all-around stress of working towards a future, there are a lot of different ways to tick off a college student. Family reunions only consist of questions about school and your future, and it seems as if professors have forgotten what it's like to be a student. Even though college may be a fun experience, here are 13 things that college students are tired of hearing:

1. You're going to be in debt forever.

Thanks for the confidence. It really helps reassure me that educating myself is the right decision.

2. No, you cannot keep a dog in your room.

He's for educational purposes, I swear.

3. This is not an assignment you can do the night before.

Every night of my life spent procrastinating has led up to this moment.

4. Your FAFSA letter has arrived.

The numbers they give you are usually a little bit different than you'd hoped for.

5. Sorry, we don't offer a student discount here.

If I don't get 20 discount off tacos then what's the point of even going to college?

6. What are your plans after graduation?

Of course, the typical response you give probably sounds a little more assuring.

7. You'll never find a job with that major.

Unfortunately, we can't all be brain surgeons.

8. Your checking account statement for this month is now available.

Sometimes it's just easier not to look at all.

9. We're having Ramen for dinner!

His expression says it all.

10. It has come to my attention that no one has been doing the assigned reading.

Come on, who actually has time to read 50 pages every night? Please just let us keep pretending like we know what's going on.

11. I'm assigning some homework over the weekend.

OK, so maybe we don't actually say this. But we really want to.

12. The class you are trying to register for is at maximum capacity.

At this rate, we'll be 30 and still trying to earn enough credits to graduate.

13. Sorry, I can't round your F to an A for the final.

This one is probably the one I'm most tired of hearing. So what if I only got a 17 percent? It's the thought that counts, right?

Even though college may be stressful at times, it's an experience that we're all going to miss. We may look back on these years as some of the best of our lives. We're learning things, making friends, and creating memories that will definitely last a lifetime. Although we may be tired of hearing these things now, who knows? Maybe we'll miss some of them in 10 years.

OK, probably not.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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!
