We've reached the point of no return

March Meh-Ness

There comes a point in the semester where we just feel done. This usually happens around the mid point of the semester, right before finals... it means that we will need to whip ourselves into shape and we will need to do so fast! But don't fret because we are all in this together. We will make it through until the end.

We may be sleep deprived and hungry, or we may be living in the library working on projects that are due in an hour... but we're all in this together. Here are some common signs if you have been touched with the mid-semester plague:

1. You have said these words "due tomorrow - do tomorrow."

2. You have begun to calculate your grades to see how many points you need to pass.

3. Your motivation is extremely non-existent.

4. You have worn clothes twice in a row because your M/W/F class friends are different than your T/R friends and they won't know the difference.

5. Waking up and getting out of bed in the morning has become one of the biggest accomplishments of your day.

6. You question your sanity on a regular basis.

7. Your messy desk represents your messy life.

8. You have watched an entire season (or more) of Netflix in one week.

9. You know that you can't make it through the week without a nap.

10. You have said this sentence, "I won't go to class if you won't," to your friends.

11. You have a countdown until summer break.

12. You have officially become a pro at procrastination.

Good luck out there fam.

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.
