If you don't already know, CNA life can have its best and its worst times. We should probably be called "Bed, Bath, and Way Beyond". And, in case you aren't a CNA and you're not aware, CNA's are more than glorified ass-wipers. Nonetheless, we encounter a lot of stuff during our shifts. Here is the daily life of a CNA as told by vine star and son of the internet, Gavin Thomas.

1. When your alarm goes off and you're debating on whether or not the paycheck is actually worth it

... But you usually get up and get ready anyway.

1. When a patient refuses a bath all week long and they tell their family you refused to give them a bath

The classic "Are you kidding?" face.

2. When you're on break and you hear 10 different call lights going off and people yelling

And you take your time clocking back in.

3. When you've been running around for hours and haven't had time to pee or sit down for a break and you look at the clock and see you've only been clocked in for an hour

And then someone has the audacity to ask if you're fine.

In your head, you're thinking, "I JUST LEFT YOUR ROOM. WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED?"

5. When you finally sit down to chart only to get interrupted

... followed by an internal (and sometimes external) scream.

6. When someone who isn't in the medical field swears that your job is easy

Sure, Jan.

8. When you finish giving report and you're going to clock out

You don't even say goodbye to anyone, you just RUN.

9. When you finally get home after a long shift and this is how you end up in bed

Usually with something to eat or drink while watching Netflix.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

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.
