I've been procrastinating the best way I know how: binge watching "The Gilmore Girls."

Finals Week As Told By "The Gilmore Girls"
Cosmopolitan

It's the week every college student has been dreading since August: the agonizing test filled days are a string of late nights, procrastination, coffee and junk food. Finals week is here and I can't imagine better people to describe it than the cast of Gilmore Girls. Because really, who knows more about junk food, coffee and studying to no end than Rory Gilmore? If you need a study break, or if you've simply given up, check out all the times the Gilmores accurately described finals week.

1. When you realize finals week is here, a lot sooner than you expected.


2. When you realize you have no idea what you're doing with your life.


3. When you have to prioritize sleep and studying.


4. When you know you're pulling an all-nighter.


5. When you become delusional from staring at your computer all day.


6. When someone tries to talk to you in the library.

7. When you try to figure out how to cope with all the stress.

8. When you get to the point where you don't even know what you are reading anymore.

9. When you decide it's time for a study break.

10. When you're in total denial of how much work you have left before the semester ends.

11. When you haven't put real pants on in days, and you can't remember the last time you actually looked decent.

12. When you write an entire paper the night before and you can't even remember what it was on.

13. When you feel lighter after finishing your last exam and handing in your final paper for the semester.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

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."

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. 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.
