If you are surrounded by students typing busily on their laptops or reading overly highlighted passages in textbooks while sipping their second iced coffee of the day, then chances are you are probably sitting in Carrier or ECL on a Sunday afternoon. On any typical Sunday there is sure to be no seat left unaccompanied by college students working on different tasks. We are all challenging ourselves daily to learn new things and become the best at what we are studying. All majors are different in multiple aspects, but there are also many similarities that all majors share.

We all have hell weeks.

They are inevitable. We all deal with them at one point in the semester, sometimes more than once. The fact of the matter is that we cannot run from them no matter how hard we try.

Internships are difficult to find in almost every field.

Searching for internships is easy. It's landing an interview and making yourself stand out among thousands of other college students across the country that is the hard part. No one student in one field is along in this situation. We all feel the same stress and anxiety as the next person when it comes to trying to gain real world experience.

Every major is heavily dependent on some sort of task.

Every field has something it is dependent on. Journalists are constantly writing, science based majors are heavily reliant on reading to learn the material, and art majors are constantly trying to get their creative juices flowing to become the next Picasso. Every field has that one skill that sometimes gets tiresome, but is essential to being successful.

We all have had one professor that makes a class challenging.

We have all been there. It is an experience that helps us learn to navigate through school, just like we will have to navigate through challenging situations in the professional world one day.

But we have also all had that one that makes class enjoyable.

Then there is that one professor you absolutely loved and has inspired you in so many ways. He or she made you remember why you chose the field of study that you did, and how important it is for you to do all that you can to be successful at it.

We are trying to be successful.

Even though we are all studying different things, we came to college to do well in a field that we are passionate about.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
