Holiday Shopping As Told By New Girl

The holidays are only a week away which means it is down to the wire to finish up all of the shopping. Holiday shopping is by far the most stressful due to the crowds and finances. We all promised ourselves we wouldn't wait until the last minute, but here we are. Here is holiday shopping as told by New Girl:

1. Coming to the realization that you're an adult and you need to buy the gifts with your own money now

2. You also need to buy for almost every person you know

3. Getting to the mall and realizing everyone in the world saved their shopping until the last minute too and now the parking situation has turned into the hunger games

4. Dealing with angry shoppers because holiday shopping brings out the worst in everyone

5. Going to a specific store for a sale, only to realize they're out of it

6. Buying a gift for someone but wanting to keep it for yourself too

7. Waiting in line for what seems like an eternity, knowing you still have to go to other stores that will probably have just as long of lines

8. Walking out of the store with $300 less in your bank account

9. Going to only one store and immediately needing food because you worked up an appetite already

10. Looking at how much you spent and realizing you didn't even make a dent in the list of people you need to buy for

11. And finally, seeing their reaction to the gifts you got them and knowing how much they loved it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
