Here is a long list of what I'm thankful for this year!

1. People who cut lines during holiday shopping, so I can learn patience.

2. People who go Black Friday Shopping at 5 A.M., so that I can shop from the comfort of my bed.

3. People who get in heated arguments that hold up the line, so that I can have some sort of entertainment while shopping for presents.

4. My family's mechanic, who fixed the heat in my car because I'd be a whiny baby without it.

5. Hand warmers because they are a lifesaver when you don't have working heat in your car.

6. My pretty okay mental health. 

I think my dad is more thankful for this so that he doesn't hear me have panic attacks at 3 A.M. anymore.

7. Food so that I can eat with or without being disturbed.

8. How long my hair actually grew within two and a half to three years.

9. My bed. 

Once I am in, there is no possible way I am getting out of my bed for ANYTHING.

10. That I'm finally done this stupid list.


Enough of the sweet stuff, I'm going to bring up a very heated debate. WHY DO PEOPLE SKIP THANKSGIVING? CHRISTMAS CAN SIT THEIR BUTTS DOWN AND LET THANKSGIVING SHINE.

What is so bad about Thanksgiving? Lots and lots of food, laughter, chit chat, spending quality time together, and passed out when I eat too much. Stores need to stop putting up Christmas decorations in the middle of the Halloween season.

Don't get me wrong, I love opening gifts. I feel really bad about missing family members during Christmas. My medication also gets pretty wonky during the winter months because the cold makes me feel more depressed.

In conclusion, I'm a very stressed out human being who has too much stuff on her chest and that I'm ready to just leave if people are debating about Thanksgiving. EAT YOUR TURKEY AND SHUT IT.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

We work our tails off to be the best, but sometimes the stress can just tear you apart. Here are some struggles faced by business majors that will sound all too familiar.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
