I really wasn't feeling the new semester. Personally, I could have used another week off, and I'm sure you all feel the same way I do. I had a lot of thoughts during my first week of classes, and I bet y'all can relate. I compiled a list of my inner thoughts from the week for you all to enjoy. Here are the telltale signs you know you're back for syllabus week.

1. Where did my break go?

2. Ugh is that my alarm?

3. Why? Just why?

4. I miss my dogs.

5. I wanna go back home.

6. Do I reeeeally need to go to this class?

7. *checks attendance policies on the syllabus*

8. Yeah, I should go.

9. Should I dress to impress?

10. If I need to impress them, they aren't people I want as friends anyway.

11. Why is this class so far away from my bed?

12. Why is it so cold?

13. Why is it 30 degrees?

14. Bruh, could you move a little faster?

15. I'm glad you people aren't sitting by me but I'm also offended you aren't sitting by me.

16. Phew, no icebreakers.

17. Why are books so expensive?

18. Wait, you're keeping us for the WHOLE class? On syllabus day??

19. Oh no, an icebreaker. I'm not interesting enough for this!

20. This class is never ending.

21. Surely we must be almost done, right?

22. Oh, we still have forty-five more minutes. Cool.

23. Why did I take an almost-three-hour class?

24. I need a nap.

25. I'm hungry.

26. There are so many people in the dining hall.

27. THIS BUILDING IS A MAZE! WHERE IS MY CLASS?

North Quad, am I right?

28. There's my class.

29. I didn't really want this seat but I sat here so I guess I'm stuck with it for the semester.

30. My professors all seem cool. Thanks, RateMyProfessor.

31. *sees the person you don't like* *mentally makes a face at them*

32. I probably shouldn't eat this. *eats it*

33. Yay, I get to go back to my room!

34. I wish this school had 2-ply toilet paper.

Yes, I actually thought this. Several times.

35. I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this class.

I really should listen better.

36. *avoids eye contact with strangers from previous classes*

Please don't see me. Please don't see me. Please don't see me.

37. How did my desk get so messy?

38. Please turn down your music while driving through campus. You aren't cool.

39. Why do you have to answer every single one of the professor's questions?

40. Will this week ever end?

41. Aaaand it's raining.

And I don't have an umbrella.

42. It's 50 degrees in January.

43. *sits next to the only person you know in the class* *they talk to the person on their other side*

Oh, okay. Thanks.

44. I love this school.

Even if I complain about it (which I do, and often), I will always love my school.

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."

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.
