Whew! Finals are behind you, and you’re either en route or already home, hopefully, snuggled tightly between fluffy pillows and your dog. The natural progression is to then brew some cocoa and tune into some of your favorite Christmas movies. If you’re a millennial cynic like me, then you may notice the sheen fading from some childhood favorites. In honor of disillusionment, here’s a guide to help you

Aries, March 21 - April 19

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty may have a sunshine-y spirit, but let’s hope the weather doesn’t match it! In more capricious areas like the Midwest, Frosty will be safe for more than a day only if Hell, ahem, Chicago, freezes over. Enjoy your short, short existence Aries.

Taurus, April 20 - May 20

Clarence the Angel

I’m sure you’d like to spend Christmas Eve with family and friends, but if you’re Clarence the Angel you have to go save dudes with perfectly fine lives from jumping off of bridges. Instead of referring mentally ill people to a counselor, God sends down trepidacious angels to take people on the guilt trip of their lives. You, Taurus, are tasked with making people feel bad for being mentally ill. Take that, depression!

Gemini, May 21 - June 20

Santa’s Elves

Name five of Santa’s elves. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

That’s what I thought. I had to google it just to find that there’s that one in Rudolph with a dentistry degree, one in that Tim Allen movie named ‘Bernard’, and that Elf of ‘On The Shelf’ fame doesn’t get a name until some mom with too much time on her hands gives it one. You, Gemini, are like a teenage girl with a tattoo of an arrow or someone on the internet who thinks they’re original for making fun of teenage girls; a dime a dozen.

Cancer, June 21 - July 22

Ghost of Christmas Present

Heartburn. Heartburn forever.

Leo, July 23 - August 22

Ghost of Christmas Future

You spend all morning trying to look your best, getting ready for some haunting. Lipstick, contour, you even got your eyeliner to match for once. I mean, you’re absolutely slaying. And it’s all for nothing, because you’re hidden beneath a hood for 99% of the time, and at the last second you have to make yourself look like a skull, even though you’re obviously not a skull, what kind of calcium do you have to eat to make your bones do that?!? It’s depressing, it really is. Your life is just as futile, Leo.

Virgo, August 23 - September 22

Donner the Reindeer

I had to put ‘the reindeer’ up there because otherwise you might think I was talking about the Donner Party, which is about as Christmasy as a railroad spike to the eye. Again, do you know anything about Donner? They’re such a forgettable reindeer that half of the world are pretty sure their name is Donder. That’s how forgettable you are, dear Virgo. If people have heard of you at all, they’re not even sure what your name is.

Libra, September 23 - October 22

Jack Skellington

Jack, exhausted by his routine, tried to add variety to his life by doing (a form of) community service. It literally blew up in his face. So Libra, if you choose to try to change yourself, just know that it will probably end badly, and you really ought to just stay home.

Scorpio, October 23 - November 21

Buddy the Elf

Sure, you’re happy and cheerful now, and your girlfriend thinks it’s adorable. But dear Scorpio, the honeymoon period always ends eventually. First, you’ll probably die of diabetes by 35 (really? candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup? Candy corn isn’t even Christmas themed!). Second, the missus can’t handle the childish wonder act forever. Can you spell ‘divorce’ in the snow?

Sagittarius, November 22 - December 21

Jack Frost

Cold in the streets, chill in the sheets. Sorry Sagittarius.

Capricorn, December 22 - January 19

Ghost of Christmas Past

You’re either some weird little kid with fire for a head or a young very pretty lady forced to talk to old men for eternity. Not the best gig, Capricorn. Looks like you’re obsessed about everybody else’s old mistakes, which is not the best way to make new friends.

Aquarius, January 20 - February 18

Rudolph

Aquarius, you’re weird and no one likes you. Oh, suddenly your weirdness is useful at work? Now you’re admired for about 36 hours. And then you’ll go tumbling back to being the butt of everyone’s jokes, with the added bitterness of jealousy left over from your fifteen seconds of fame.

Pisces, February 19 - March 20

The Grinch

Heart attack. Sorry, man.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
