All I Want For Christmas Is To Pass This Semester

I am feeling anything but Holiday cheer.

All I Want For Christmas Is To Pass This Semester
Pintrest

As finals week is upon us, I am here to represent the voice of the who are suffering.

The Holidays are a wonderful, joyous time, yet here we are: crammed in the aisle of a library, attempting to memorize 300 medical terms by 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Thanksgiving break was the ultimate tease; we got five days to actually sleep, see our family and relax. I was in vacation mode and then thrown back into the fire. Did Santa ever envision a world where Christmas music played on the radio but children cried as they viewed the study guide filled material they had never seen before? Did he know the pain of pulling three all-nighters in a row and still accepting the fact that your GPA is inevitably doomed? Santa Claus never wanted this Mr. Professor. How could you do this to us? Even Justin Bieber knows "it's the most beautiful time of the year."

From Frosty, to Rudolph to Buddy the Elf, Christmas used to be a magical time. We would spend the entire month of December singing songs and compiling wish lists. But college brings out a cold darkness in us; instead of cookies and milk we're leaving Santa a Venti triple espresso and a couple discounted Adderall's. Instead of my letter for Santa, I'm winging a 12 page research paper in these last two hours before it's due.

For those of you still in the trenches with me, I believe in you. One final week. The light at the end of the tunnel is so close. 120 hours to holiday cookies, food comas and no work. You can already taste the eggnog. This semester may have broken you, it may have shanked you or it may have completely destroyed your being. But you are at the end, my friend. One final push and the baby is out of there. One final step and the most wonderful time of the year will be yours. If you're working for that GPA or working to GTFO, you got this.

See you on the other side, champ.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
