A College Student's Summer As Told By 'Zoey 101'

Ahhh Summer…Tis the season for sunny days, no homework, and binge watching Netflix. However, Summer is a liiiitle bit different than what it used to be. Now that you're a college student, you're in that awkward stage of being an adult (hello summer jobs and internships), but you’re also still in that whole “living with your parents” stage. In order to accurately describe what this special time is like, here’s a college student's Summer as told by one of the greatest shows of our generation… Zoey 101.

1. Moving back in with your parents

2. Trying to get the perfect summer bod

3. Applying to jobs and internships


4. Planning fun summer activities with your friends


5. Catching up on all the hometown drama


6. Fighting with your siblings


7. Dealing with rules and curfews


8. Going out to at nice restaurants instead of the dining hall


9. Passing the time by online shopping


10. Getting asked about your future plans


11. Having time for random hobbies

12. Taking a summer class

13. Attempting to pick up sports again


14. Texting your college friends that you miss them


15. Making the most of the rest of the summer

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

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."

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.
