It's that time of year again! The snow is falling, the fire is crackling, and Bing Crosby is playing on the radio; it's Christmas time! While there are so many wonderful things about the holiday season, it can also be a little stressful. So who better to walk you through some of the emotions you'll feel leading up to Christmas than our favorite characters from "The Office"?

1. Watching the first snowfall

Watching those first few flakes fall from the sky is a magical moment that must be witnessed by all.

2. Decorating the house

Blasting Trans-Siberian Orchestra and throwing tinsel around like it's nobody's business.

3. Listening to Christmas music

Fa la la la la, la la la la!

4. Thinking of gifts for everyone on your list

Let's see, I have $40 in my bank account and 10 people to get gifts for....

5. "Enjoying" the cold

Yeah, it's super festive almost slipping every 10 feet and being able to see your breath inside of your car.

6. Crowded malls

But seriously, where did all these people come from?

7. Waiting for packages to arrive

I know it said the arrival date was December 21st, but you never know, it could come early.

8. Being extra kind and showing everyone the "holiday spirit"

Gotta keep yourself on Santa's Nice List.

9. Wrapping gifts

Why does it have to be so hard??

10. Christmas baking

Looking forward to all of your favorite Christmas treats...

...and having a meltdown when someone forgot to make them.

11. When you just want to know who your Secret Santa is

Enough with the suspense, I just wanna know.

12. When Winter Break finally starts

Done! Done with tests, done with group assignments, and done with walking 20 minutes in the freezing cold to class!

13. Attending Christmas parties

Lights, sweaters, music, and copious amounts of mulled wine and cider.

14. Treating yourself

It's the holidays, you deserve it.

15. Getting a little sick of the Christmas music

How many versions of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" can there be?

16. Being watched as you open your gifts

Yes, I've always wanted a sweater with a light-up snowman on it...!

17. Feeling extra generous

"That is a perfectly good mini-tree, Kevin, and we are going to sell that to charity. That is what Christmas is all about."

18. Quality family time

Whether you love being around everyone in your family or have some people that are harder to deal with, Christmas brings about plenty of family time.

19. When you finally run out of money

That $40 only goes so far.

20. Breathing a sigh of relief on Christmas Day

When the day finally arrives you feel blessed to be happy, healthy, and spending the season with family.

In the words of Michael Gary Scott, "Christmas is awesome. First of all, you get to spend time with people you love. Secondly, you can get drunk and no one can say anything. Third, you give presents. What's better than giving presents? And fourth, getting presents. So, four things. Not bad for one day. It's really the greatest day of all time."

Happy holidays, everyone!

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.
