It's that time of year again. The birds are singing, the teachers are trying to squeeze in that last test before finals, and everyone is excited for school to end. It's disgusting.

1. Once the weather starts to clear up and the sun starts shining.

Give my pale, melanin-lacking skin a break.

2. Everyone is annoying because they have nothing better to do. 

media.giphy.com

Something about that April air makes people go coo-coo.

3. You just. can't. deal. anymore. 

media.giphy.com

The days are getting longer and my patience is getting shorter. Day drinking it is.

4. But you still have to apply for big-girl jobs for after graduation.

media.giphy.com

I'm just trying to make my resume make me sound way more impressive than I actually am.

5. And look at apartments.

media.giphy.com

These are the important questions we need to be asking.

6. You realize adulting is difficult.

7. And expensive.

media.giphy.com

My future motto is 'the cheaper the better'.

8. Finishing your final papers is impossible.

media.giphy.com

And I can't wake up.

9. Everything hurts and you're tired.

media.giphy.com

I don't have money to buy coffee but I need coffee to function and do the things.

10. But you're trying to be optimistic.

media.giphy.com

Just survive.

11. And there's always a backup plan...

media.giphy.com

Free food. Free bed. Free friends. Just saying.

12. Everyone is sick.

media.giphy.com

Get away from me demons.

13. By the end of the school year, you'll do anything for some extra cash.

media.giphy.com

I may or may not have looked into how much foot pics would pay... don't judge.

14. Everyone is either really mean or really nice.

media.giphy.com

The end of the school year brings up a lot of emotions. I don't like emotions.

15. But at least graduation's in sight.

media.giphy.com

Bye losers. See you never.

I relate to April from 'Parks & Rec' on a personal level. Whether that's despising human contact or having to do actual work, her and I are pretty much the same.

Welcome April. I can't wait to get you over with.

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.
