30 Things I Rather Do Instead of Studying For Finals
Moyan Brenn

As we all know if you are in college the semester is quickly coming to an end. Which means one thing; FINALS WEEK *dramatic music* Finals week is probably the only week of the semester that I hate the most. Finals week is nothing but stress and mental breakdowns, at least for me anyway. There is always that one class that you are so worried about and after you come out of that final there is no way you actually passed. Then you get your grade and you are totally fine, and the stress was there just to scare you. So in celebration of finals week here is a list of things I would rather be doing than studying for finals.

1. Go home.

2. Take a nap for the first time in my life.

3. Eating food.

4. Make a snapchat story rant about all the studying I have to do.

5. Make a Facebook status about the things I would rather do than study for finals.

6. Clean my entire dorm.

7. Calculate the grade you would get on your final if you don't have to study and still pass the class.

8. Watch every Disney movie at least three times.

9. Watch funny cat videos.

10. Watch youtube videos of vine contemplations.

11. Accidentally venture into the weird side of youtube.

12. Accidentally type in "Harry Styles" on google and look at pictures for the next three hours.

13. Scroll through tumblr after 300 posts and getting stuck in the void.

14. Listen to old One Direction albums and cry my weight in tears.

15. Cry about how One Direction are not going on tour this summer and then realizing I still have to study while crying more.

16. Lay in my bed and scroll through makeup instagrams for four hours.

17. Realizing after finals are over I am officially a junior in college.

18. Experiment different makeup looks for the summer.

19. Practice my show makeup for my drum corps show.

20. Bake an entire cake.

21. Eat that entire cake.

22. Run around the entire campus.

23. Count the number of pennies I have in my extra change jar.

24. Listen to the songs on my first ipod and cringe.

25. Stare blankly at my posters.

26. Color code all of my clothes.

27. Watch the same season of RuPaul's Drag Race four times.

28. Become more disappointed at who wins RuPaul's Drag Race even though I have just seen it four times.

29. Call my brother.

30. Finally study after fourteen hours of procrastination.

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.
