Do as little as possible.

We Heart It

College is chock full of late nights, heavy drinking, procrastination, and so much more wrapped into one. Who better than the queen of laziness to tell us how college really is? Alex Russo is the prime example of a modern-day college student, and let me just say, I would totally watch a "Wizards of Waverly Place" reboot that focuses on her at school.

1. When your friends ask you to go to the gym.

That's a valid excuse, right?

2. When you're in desperate need of a break from school.

Birthdays should definitely count as an excused absence.

3. When the struggle gets way too hard.

Working so hard can be so exhausting. Sometimes quitting feels like the only way out.

4. When you realize you have no plans for your future.

Looking for a job sounds like torture. Doing nothing seems like a good option.

5. When you have no idea what your professor is talking about.

Does anyone in here know what's going on? Or is it just me that's completely lost?

6. When you come home from a night of drinking.

Where's the food?

7.​ When you have to say goodbye to your besties at the end of the year.

It's impossible not to tear up.

8. When you have too much homework to handle.

Maybe if I just leave it there, it will disappear.

9. When you and your classmates didn't do as well as you hoped.

Dealing with failure is easier when you have someone to share it with.

10. When you finally eat something other than Ramen Noodles and Mac and Cheese cups.

Eating something that doesn't require the microwave is rare.

11. When you ace that final and the semester is finally over.

Nothing can bring me down now.

12. When you get to the point of not caring.

C's get degrees!

I think we can all learn something from Alex Russo. Don't take life so seriously!

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.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

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."
