15 Signs You’re Going Through Vacation Withdrawals
Storm Shearer

You just went on the vacation of your life. After the excitement of sleeping in your own bed wears off, the depression sets in. Here are some signs you’re going through vacation withdrawal:

1. Your clothes are still sitting in your suitcase because unpacking would mean accepting the trip is over.

2. Your family is getting tired of hearing the same stories a million times.

3. You check flight prices every couple hours even though you know you still can't afford it.

4. You flip through your vacay photos for hours, reminding yourself of all the good times.

5. You continuously check the snap stories of the people you met to see if they're having more fun than you.

6. You want to hear every detail about trips your friends went on previously in the same places.

7. You're afraid to look at your credit card statement to see how much money you spent while you were gone.

8. You have a sunburn, but it's only ten degrees outside.

9. All of your Instagram posts are throwbacks from your trip.

10. You re-create the meals you had from all the restaurants you ate at.

11. You relate all the things you do back home to things you experienced on vacation.

12. Seeing license plates from the places you've been breaks your heart.

13. You go online shopping for new outfits you can wear when you go back.

14. You get excited whenever a scene in a movie features a location you went to on your trip.

15. You're counting down the days until your next break.

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.
