12 Reasons College Is A Bitch

She believed she could but fell asleep and didn't.

12 Reasons College Is A Bitch
Personal Photo

I have no money. Sleep is a foreign experience. I miss my dogs. Please send help.

1. College or hell, who knows

I don't care what time of day it is as soon as you walk outside the heat punches you in the face and you're covered in sweat before you even get to your first class.

2. Textbooks cost more than my house

$638 for a freaking book and an access code, are you freaking serious right now?

5. Having anxiety makes it impossible to make friends easily 

Someone asked me what country I would visit if I could go anywhere and I said Europe. I said a freaking continent.

6. Parking is a thing of the past 

Apparently Clemson thought 50 parking spots was enough for 50 million people.

7. Not knowing what you want to do with your life but feeling obligated to pick a major

Two days into college I had dropped two classes and changed my major from Animal and Veterinary Sciences to Psychology and now I'm still not sure that's what I want to do.

8. You get 3,000 emails a day 

10/10 I receive more emails than text messages everyday.

9. Clean bathrooms are a rare occasion 

Pee everywhere. Toilet seat. Sink. Floor. Trashcan. Shower. Everywhere.

10. Doing laundry at 3am is the new norm

Always wanted a black eye? The laundry room is the place for that. People will literally fight you over a dryer.

11. Sleep is for the weak

I used to think going to bed at 11:30 was late. Ha! I'm lucky if I'm in bed by 2 these days.

12. Tuition costs are a bitch all by themselves 

Was literally walking out the door to go get food and got an email for first semester bills and had to walk right back inside my house and fix myself some cereal.

College sucks. There's no doubt about it, but I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Walking 20 miles a day, living off of pop tarts and never getting any sleep is so going to be worth it once I get that degree in my hands.

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!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
