1. Ending winter quarter and ~finally~ getting a break from school. Spring break is here!

After a stressful 10 weeks that comes along with winter quarter, Spring Break is just what you need. Time to relax, hang out with friends, and basically do nothing school related for an entire week. FINALLY.

2. Having to come back from spring break…just as all your semester system friends start theirs.

Having semester system friends is so tough. None of your breaks ever match up, so you get a solid two days with each other- during the weekend your breaks overlap. It feels like right as they are starting to get comfortable at home, you have to pack everything back up and head back up to school. "Come visit me when you start summeralmost a month before me!" is often how you two will say goodbye.

3. Getting ready for your first day of new classes like…

You're lying if you say you don't try at least a little bit harder to look nice for the first day of classes. It's the one day of the quarter where you get to feel like you're 12 again- getting ready to impress your classmates and, above all, see who you know or want to meet in all your classes!

4. When the first day of class is super easy but then you go back on Wednesday to a lecture, three assignments, and a quiz next week.

The quarter system is tough. While semester system kids always talk about "Syllabus Week", we get "Syllabus Day"... and that's only if we're really lucky. Let's be honest, 10 week quarters just don't allow for you to waste an entire week doing introductory things. If you get away without being lectured or given an assignment on the first day, you should be in for a nice quarter.

5. FINALLY, week one is over! Your friends ask you if you're going to go out this weekend, and you're just like...

Nothing better than going out with all of your friends to blow off some steam! Even the first week of the quarter is beyond stressful, so getting a short break before having to start it all over on Monday is much needed. Whether "going out" means going to a party, spending time with friends, going to the beach, or even just staying in, you deserve a break from school - even though its only been five days.

6. Finally, realizing this is the final stretch until summer, so the countdown begins.

Who doesn't love summer! While Spring is just as sunny and beautiful, there's still the pain of classes, homework, and exams to put a damper on anyone's day. But with summer right around the corner, it should all turn out just fine! Besides, Spring quarter always goes by super quick...right?

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
