10 Relatable Thoughts All College Students Have During Finals

Just a few thoughts we all have during the worst week of the semester.

1. I really need to study, but I think I will take a nap instead

Studying for exams is stressful enough, nothing a nap can't fix, right?

2. Why did I procrastinate all semester?

There is no feeling worse than realizing you procrastinated all of your work during the semester until the very end. What was once due in a month is now due in 5 days and there's no one else to blame but yourself. But somehow we never learn and the cycle continues for the remaining semesters.

3. What grade do I need on the final to pass the class?

Forget acing a final, sometimes you get so desperate that all you want is a passing grade.

4. Maybe this can be my dropped grade

If you get the luxury of a dropped exam grade in a class, this is definitely a thought you will have every day leading up to the final to avoid having a mental break down

5. I need a study break

Usually, a statement made 5 minutes into studying

6.Maybe I will just drop out

Realizing how much you have to do can definitely make the thought of dropping out sound amazing.

7. What is sleep?

Enough said

8. How have I been in the library for 20 hours already this week?

Who doesn't love living in the library?

9. How many more cups of coffee can I consume today before it becomes unhealthy?

Before you know it you are on your 6th cup of coffee for the day and it becomes a bit concerning

10. Just a few more days until summer, I can do this.

Counting down the days until summer just to get yourself through finals week. How many of us survive this horrible time in the semester.

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.

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.
