The Pros And Cons Of Coming Home For The Summer
WFUV

When I was at school, I couldn't wait to go home for the summer and finally be away from school. Now that I'm at home, I already can't wait to get back at school. Funny how things change based on where you are. However, no matter where you're at, a small piece of you will still miss the other place. Here is a list of some of the pros and cons of coming home for summer.

Cons

1. Unpacking.

Did I take this much stuff to school? I don't remember it being this bad!

2. Getting a job.

3. Not being able to eat whenever you want like at the dining hall because your mom doesn’t keep food stocked.

4. Being questioned about where you’re going... all of the time. Everywhere you go.

5. Siblings.

Even though you miss them while you're at school, this feeling passes quickly.

6. Missing your college friends.


Pros

1. Seeing your high school friends.

2. Being able to read whatever you want.

3. No school work/finals/stress.

4. Binge watching Netflix with no feelings of guilt.

5. Spending time with your family and pets.

So there you have it, a complete list of all of the benefits and negatives of being home for the summer. What are you doing this summer? Does this list represent all of the pros and cons that you're experiencing this summer break? Leave your comments below!

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.
