The 25 Days of Christmas Countdown: Harry Potter Edition

It's finally that time of the semester, the end is near!! Here's Harry Potter's version of the 25 day countdown to Christmas.

Day 25: Looking ahead on your calendar and realizing Christmas is so close, yet so far.

Day 24: Last day of regularly scheduled classes, which at first starts off on a positive note, but then you remember you have finals starting in 2 days.

Day 23: That on top of the world feeling you get on reading day when you don't have a final the next day!!

Day 22: When your friend gives you the best gift of all... their old exam to study off of.

Day 21: The first Saturday of finals, when you decide you need to stay in and study while the rest of your friends go out, but later regret the responsible decision completely.

Day 20: When you realize studying in bed with the Kardashian's on just isn't going to cut it so you head to the library and go right to the silent floor to force yourself to focus, but the couple at the table next to you won't stop giggling.

Day 19: The anxiety attack right before your first final.

Day 18: Rushing to Final #2 with your squad because you all collectively thought it was a nice idea to get Starbucks 20 minutes before the exam starts to calm your nerves, but the line took much longer than anticipated.

Day 17: When you receive a 9 page "Study Guide" from your Professor, only to open it and find out it is not in fact filled out, it is actually just 612 open-ended questions.

Day 16: When you've been too stressed and busy to shower and you think dry shampoo and deodorant is cutting it... but the people sitting next to you in the library don't agree.

Day 15: Halfway through final #3 when your friend strolls in late because he overslept.

Day 14: Saturday #2 of finals week when it takes all of your willpower to go to the library and not to stay in bed with Netflix or flee to the closest bar.

Day 13: Even though it's Sunday, there is no time to rest, but you do catch yourself day dreaming about being home.

Day 12: The night before your hardest final when your friend asks you to go out.

Day 11: Walking into your hardest final and knowing there is no turning back now.

Day 11+3/4: Post-hardest final when you start questioning why you even came to college.

Day 10: Walking out of your last final, finally.

Day 9: Saying bye to your friends and wanting to feel sad about it, but you're all too excited to go home to feel any emotion aside from joy.

Day 9+3/4: Rejoicing as your flight lands and home is so close you can taste it!!

Day 8: Seeing your siblings for the first time because your flight got in late the night before and then they had school for 8 hours...

Day 7: When you see your siblings for the second time.

Day 6: Digging into every home cooked meal your mom has made because you haven't eaten real food in months.

Day 5: When you've been home for 4 days, but your hometown BFF selfishly had a final scheduled on the last possible day and finally makes it home.

Day 4: When your dad tells you that your family is hosting Christmas and you won't have to drive 2 hours to a relatives.

Day 3: When you attempt to bake Christmas Cookies after 6 glasses of wine.

Day 2: When you realize you left your favorite dress, the one you were supposed to wear on Christmas Eve, at school.

Day 1: It's Christmas Eve and your uncle asks who wants a drink.

Day 0: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Day 0+3/4: That midday Christmas Buzz created from gifts, cookies, food and festive drinks...

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2401

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
