The end is in sight, Christmas is nearly here. The only thing standing between you and your holiday cheer is final exams. From hours upon hours spent in the library, to skipping meals, to pulling all-nighters it just isn't one of the high points of the college experience. And let's face it, you have every right to feel a little Grinch-y about all of it. Here are 13 times you were the Grinch during finals week.

1. When you try to be organized and plan out your entire study schedule.

2. When you have to review all the books you read over the course of the semester.

3. When you take a snack break for the fifth time in a matter of two hours.

4. When you take a "quick" study break and end up watching videos of puppies on YouTube for over an hour.

5. When all of your friends are going to get dinner and you figure you should probably go too.

6. When you realize you don't have time for dinner, unless you want to fail (you don't want to fail).

7. When the library starts to grow on you after all the hours that you spend studying there.

8. When you hear someone nearby blasting your favorite Christmas song, but you're trying to concentrate.

9. When you remind yourself that, yes, you do need to have dinner after all.

10. When you've been up all night and the lack of sleep is really getting to you.

11. When you try to remain positive after the exam is over.

12. When you finish all your exams so you have no use for all of those textbooks.

13. When you're finally done with everything so you get to focus entirely on Christmas.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
