The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year, full of dazzling Christmas lights, glistening trees and close family. Who wouldn't enjoy such a magical occasion? I'll tell you who. College students. While most of you think of candy canes and Christmas movies, we get to think of finals and packing. Not to say that we hate Christmas, but the lead up to our Christmas vacation is a little bit different from the rest. With that said, here are the emotional stages of being a college student during the holidays:

1. "OMG I get to listen to Christmas music, decorate the tree, bake cookies, look at Christmas lights, buy everyone presents and eat candy canes for every meal!!!"
