College In December As Told By 'The Office'

No one throws a Christmas party quite like the people of Dunder Mifflin.

College In December As Told By 'The Office'

Somehow, someway, we've already made it to December.

All those assignments we didn't worry about because the due date was in December are now upon us and we kick ourselves for not starting that five page research paper a few weeks earlier. The temperature is dropping as fast as our grades and we're just struggling to keep a float in order to pass our classes and make it to winter break. The long awaited winter break is slowly approaching while our high spirits for the holidays are dimming like last years christmas lights.

To really put it in perspective here is the cast of The Office to express how we're all really feeling:

When your teacher assigns another group project on top of the final that you're going to have to take:


Being a college level writer but still not knowing exactly how to cite things in your final research paper:


"This is not a project you can do the day before the final"

Trying to give your presentation, but being December, you're just mentally exhausted:

When you're professor says they won't curve the final:

When you're ready for winter break but you still have all those finals to take:

Checking your grades like:

Thinking about all the things you need to get done in the next two weeks:

Trying your best on a project but failing it completely:

Looking at the review for your final:

Checking your hourly countdown until break starts:

When you're just hanging with your friends then someone asks how things for finals are going:

.

When you actually put effort into studying for finals:

Coming out of your first final:

Waiting for Christmas day when all this madness will be over:

"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!

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.
