The Ebbs and Flows of Spring Semester as Told by SNL

Spring semester, like any other semester, can really take a lot out of you. I love school, but towards the middle of the semester I start to get a gnawing feeling in my stomach that's telling me to run. I always push through it because I have to. Well, not only do I have to in order to get the degree I want, but because I want to. It gets extremely stressful, like all things can, but like I've said in the past, school is worth it. In the end, we'll have everything figured out and we'll look back on this and tell ourselves, "I'm glad I pulled through".

1. In the beginning of Spring semester.

2. Getting your first assignment done on time.


3. Finding out you have a group project.

4. Learning that you can't have your friend in your group for said project.

5. Waking up for the early classes in the beginning of the semester.

6. When you finally reach a weekend and you don't have homework.

7. Realizing midterms are coming up.

8. Spring Break!

9. Realizing how many essays are due that you procrastinated on over break.

10. Waking up early for classes in the middle of the semester.

11. Trying to find time to relax.


12. Pretending like everything is going to be fine even though you have a ton of work due in the next five weeks.

13. Studying for finals.

14. Still trying to wake up for those early classes.

15. The feeling you get when you finally finish all your finals and you're done.


With Spring Semester almost over, I'm glad I can say I pushed through it because I finally get to get my AA! If any of you are graduating this semester, congratulations, you did it, and enjoy your break before you have to go back to university. In the end, it's all worth it.

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.
