How Finals Can Ruin The Holidays

Fall quarter finals are just placed on the worst days. It's pretty much winter break, why can't we sit back, relax, and enjoy it. Instead, we got finals to stress out about and to kill the mood. The holidays are for rejoicing and eating like conquerors.

After Thanksgiving break comes Christmas. Before everyone leaves for break, you and your friends want to plan Friendsmas. Only problem is that everyone is busy studying for finals and finishing up on projects. No one has time to be cooking and spending time on the food instead of studying. You also can't make time to hang out with friends before the holidays since everyone has different schedules and different final times.

The stress gets to you and prevents you from effing enjoying your friends' company. Let's be real, the only people who can enjoy finals week like they want to are the people who aren't worried about their classes. They can get drunk, with the new law, get high, go out and have whatever fun they'd like. Good for all y'all, seriously. But we still got school to focus on and pray we don't fail that class we're only studying the night before for.

The stress kills the holiday spirit because all we can think about is finals. We can't be wasting our brain power on future holiday plans and effing Christmas presents. Trying to think of a good Christmas present will take up so much more time than you will think. You will tell yourself, "Oh, I can think of the right presents no problem. It can't be too hard. I'd like to say I know my family pretty well". Now some people do know their family very well, so good on you guys for being great a great family members, but for the rest of us, we be struggling.

The holidays are for enjoying yourself but its kinda hard to when you got stress hanging over your head. Finals are so important but such a nuisance. Hopefully everyone has studied hard and can get through it so good luck everybody and happy holidays!

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
