Finals week can be one of the worst weeks you've ever had. Trust me, I know. Despite the fact that finals week may bring out the worst in us and all we can think to do is complain about everything that we have to do before we go on break, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.

1. Your Education

Be thankful for the fact that you even have a finals week to worry about. There are plenty of people out there that would trade you in a heart beat to be able to attend school and study something that they love.

2. Your Roommates

Be thankful for these wonderful, crazy people that you so graciously get to live with. Soon you will all be home for 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month maybe and these weirdos won't be with you. Cherish the time you have left with them before break!

3. Your Friends (at school)

The same goes here as it does your roommates. For those friends that you don't live with, cherish your last time with them before break.

4. Finals Week

Let me explain, be thankful that it is actually finals week. For one, dead week is over and this means that you survived another semester.

5. Your Family

Be thankful for your family. Be thankful because if you're anything like me, they have listened to you complain about all the homework and studying you have had to do in the weeks leading up to finals. If anyone is gonna put up with your complaining, it's the fam. Mom and Dad, you the real MVPs.


6. Your Friends (back home)

Be thankful for your friends back home too. Soon you will be reunited and can do all the fun Christmasy things you've had planned for weeks, let that get you through this last week.

7. Christmas

Be thankful that it is almost Christmas and that means (I'm assuming) some much needed quality time with your family. You won't even have to think about anything school related.

8. Your Dog (or any other pet you love)

Be thankful for these guys. Just because and if nothing else is getting you through this week, let the fact that these guys will be the happiest to see you when you walk through the door next weekend be what does. (Also I just wanted to post some pictures of my dogs)

So remember to be thankful this finals week. You're almost there.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
