Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being back on campus. My in-person classes here at MSU are awesome. My professors know exactly what they're doing, and they're doing a great job with enforcing social distancing and mask-wearing. My online classes, however, they're a mess.

I've always loved school and learning, but these online classes are seriously making me consider dropping out. Assignments forget to be posted or graded, due dates are changed, modules are posted in the wrong order, the list goes on and on. I can't tell you how many online assignments I've almost missed because of inconsistent due dates.

Not only are due dates wrong, but some material doesn't even get posted. I've taken multiple quizzes and a test on material that wasn't on a PowerPoint, in a module, or in our textbook. I don't understand how they expect me to take a test without knowing the material on the test? I've been trying to go easy on my professors as this is a difficult semester to navigate, but we're weeks into the semester.

As students, we're having to get accustomed to this "new normal", too. It makes it even more difficult to get accustomed whenever even professors don't know what they're doing.

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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
