Being In College As Told By Michelle Tanner

With the premiere of "Fuller House" on Netflix at the end of this week, everyone I know is counting down the days. If you are like me, you grew up with the Tanners. I am basically the fourth Tanner child (or so I think.) While I love them all, Michelle, the youngest child, is definitely my favorite. She is funny, cute, and tells it like it is. I always thought I had a deep connection to Michelle, but never knew she would be there for me during college though. After coming to college, I realized that Michelle is basically any college kid on any campus at some point in their life. Take it away, Michelle...

When you fail your exam.

(Sorry, Mom, I really did try.)

But somehow pass the next one (just barely.)

When someone asks you what you had for lunch.

Number one cause of freshman fifteen: dining hall ice cream

When you're running late to class.

When your professors say they are taking attendance tomorrow, but never do.

When you have tons of stuff to do, but decide to binge-watch Netflix instead.

When your friend asks you if you turned in your assignment (due in 10 minutes) that you forgot about.

When all you want to do is have a home-cooked meal and watch a movie with your mom.

(I MISS YOU, DEBBIE!)

But, when someone asks you if you miss home...

I have never looked back (sniff, sniff.)

Any night before an exam.

They never warned you at orientation about how many late nights would be spent studying.

When you get your long-awaited paycheck, tax return, deposit from your parents, etc.

(This feeling usually disappears in a day.)

When you want to do something, but everyone else has other plans.

I guess I will go get dinner by myself then.

When it is finally your birthday.

Birthdays become a big deal in college.

When your mom asks why you bought a dozen Insomnia Cookies at 1 a.m.

R.I.P. half my paycheck.

When an apartment complex calls you 1000 times to see if you're interested in leasing.

NO! I don't want to live there, STOP CALLING ME.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. (Except for nights out.)

Walking to class, especially.

When your friends transfer or graduate.

Do you not love me anymore?

When your school beats your rival team.

When you realize you made the right choice with your college decision.

Could you imagine being anywhere else?

And finally, when someone tells you to enjoy college, because it is some of the best years of your life.

Thanks, Michelle, for telling us the real truth about college!


Although Michelle will not be on the new spin-off, she will always be in our hearts. WE WILL MISS YOU!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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."

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!

Does anybody know how to study

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. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
