5 Tips To Get Your Through The End Of The Semester

It's May, summer fever has hit, and the heat is rolling in. The end of the semester is here, finals are about to begin, and within such a short amount of time so much is expected of us. In order to get you through the end of this year and on your way to summer vacation, here are some tips!

1. Stay Focused

I know it's super hard to get tangled up in the excitement of summer, but everything you did up until this point is about to close in and you have to remain focused in order to tie it up nicely and go out in a bang. Remain patient, and everything will go your way.You can do it, I promise!

2. Get Enough Sleep

You're probably laughing as you read this right now, but I promise, as hard as it is, you need to get enough sleep. In order to function properly, your body needs rest, not 3 or 4 hours a night (We're all guilty of it), but 6-8. And trust me it is possible if you make time for it.

3. Time Management

One of the most important things to get you through the semester is being able to manage your time. Stay organized, allocate time for what is important, and stay on top of things. It's the only way.

4. Eat Healthy

If you want your body to work to full potenial you need to nourish it, (you should do this all the time but most importantly now). Stay away from junk food, despite it's convenience, and stick to fruits, vegetables, and protein.

5. Stay Positive

You will get through the finals and before you know it you will enjoying your summer. You MUST stay positive, because over stressing and worrying will do nothing but make things worse.

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."

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.
