You're laying in bed, waiting until the last minute to get up and ready for your 9 am class. You check on your weather app, and this is what you see.

Luke Bryan sang why "Rain is a Good Thing," and coming from a farm, I know that rain is something to be thankful to receive. When going to college though, rain can make walking to and from classes and everything else you do on campus, interesting to say the least.

Here are the ten feelings that we go through when life seems to want to rain on our parade.

1. Nope, not today


Seeing that rain is in the forecast makes you want to cancel all your plans, roll back over in bed, and act like today is canceled.

2. What am I going to wear?

With the wind, the likelihood of being soaked head to toe, but the comfortable temperature makes it hard to decide what to wear. One wrong decision and you may be one raindrop away from a wardrobe malfunction or a day with soaked jeans.

3. It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Mary Poppins


With the wind blowing you around, you do not know when your last step will turn into a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious adventure. You cling to your umbrella in hopes to anchor you to the ground.

4. MY HAIR


No matter how hard you try, it seems like whenever there is rain, you will end up looking like a wet llama dog and never want to see your reflection again.

5. Only ten more steps


Even though you walk this same way all the time to get to your classes, because of the rain, it seems that you will never make it to your destination. The wind, the rain, the fact that you have to look at your wet shoes makes your regular 10-minute walk seem like it is taking an eternity.

6. Are my umbrella and I going to make it?


Clinging to your umbrella for dear life so

1. It doesn't flip inside out and break

2. The wind doesn't blow your umbrella around and then hit you

The umbrella can protect you from the rain and use as protection when needed.

7. Not the laptop, please not the laptop

With the amount of money you spent on this laptop, it better not get water damage because of going to class in the rain.

8. Can I take a nap yet?


The dark sky and the sound of the rain against the window just set the mood for the perfect day of just putting on sweatpants and napping the day away. Rainy days = Lazy days

9. Everything feels like a movie

Sitting on your bus listening to music while you stare out the window always makes you feel like you are in a dramatic scene of a movie.

10. "Umbrella" is playing in the back of your head


Don't deny it; you're humming the 2007 pop song as you stand in the rain. Own it.

The rain brings on a rollercoaster of emotions, more like a water slide of emotions but you know what I mean. Stay dry my friends as the rainy weather starts to come more often.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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.
