If There Were A Job Application For Santa

Google

Ever wonder what the requirements are for starting the job as the jolly old fellow we all know as Santa Clause? Well, here are a list of them just in case someone you know has a life long goal of being the man in the red suit.

1. Must fit in the Santa suit

Or fatten himself up until it does fit.

2. Must be able to consume millions of cookies in one night

Preparation starts December 26th.

3. Must be able to grow a beard

Vital requirement for storing cookies for the sleigh ride home.

4. Must be on the nice list

Otherwise, he'd be a big old hypocrite.

5. Must have a license to drive a sleigh

Have you ever heard of air traffic? Me neither, but I'm sure it's a thing.

6. Must be able to speak all languages

How else is he going to ask all the children of the world what they want for Christmas and command his reindeer?

7. Must be light on his feet

Tip-toe, tip-toe through the house.

8. Must be able to navigate and fit through all chimneys

Or have a Santa Key that can be used for houses that do not have chimneys.

9. Must be a jolly old fellow

Kids aren't going to like a mean, grumpy old man. Santa brings the holly and the jolly to the holidays.

10. Must be able to keep the spirit of Christmas alive

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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.
