The thought of starting classes and having to exert effort again is painful, I know.

There is no feeling quite like the one that you get as classes approach again after a long, relaxing break. The sequence of events that slowly begin to happen as both the teachers and students prepare for a full schedule of stress again gives most people a stomach ache. Please find some humor as "Grey's Anatomy" describes what we are all feeling inside as we realize that classes are beginning again. I mean, who needs sleep and a social life, anyway?

1. When your teacher assigns work over break

No, I really don't care about your class... yet. Too soon.

2. When you start to think about classes starting again


If I pretend it's not happening, will that make it go away?

3. When your teacher sends the generic "Welcome to My Class" e-mail


*Types into Google* "How much does a stripper make a year?"

4. Reading the syllabus like


Hey, at least we get a week devoted to nothing.

5. Realizing classes start in a matter of days


So not ready yet.

6. When they talk about optional meetings that may be beneficial to the class

#college.

7. Discussing dropping out with your friends

Thanks, I needed that.

8. When you think about your qualities that could help you get by if you drop out


Emphasis on the "..."

9. Looking at the class schedule


Who needs a social life, anyway?

10. When the teacher is already telling you to "look up" every question you ask

I already don't like you.

11. Not feeling like you are qualified for the classes you are taking


Adulting is hard.

12. Convincing yourself that you can handle it all


Deep breath in, deep breath out. You got this.

13. When your teacher asks if you did the work he/she assigned over break


Oops.

14. Beginning your first assignment


15. Taking the first exam

Does it really matter how many apples Sally has left when divided by the square root of the sun?

16. When your friends ask how you did on the first exam

17. The reoccurring question

18. And of course, encouraging your classmates that sticking with it will be worth it in the end


All joking aside, this is your sign that you've got this. I have faith in you, and it's going to be worth it!

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!
