Second Semester: As Told By Cristina Yang
ABC

Every college student knows the struggle of packing up and heading back to school after a long and much needed winter break. Right when you start to get used to having little to no responsibilities, you have to turn around and head back to school. With school we get flooded with emotions, but who would be better at helping us express these different emotions than no one other than Dr. Cristina Yang. As you "Grey's Anatomy" fans know, Dr. Cristina Yang is not afraid to voice her opinion. It's hard to describe the different feelings we have towards second semester, so here is second semester, as told by Cristina Yang.


You start to get sad when you realize that you're soon going to be drowning in work.


When you're the first of all your friends to go back to school.


Seeing your roommates/friends for the first time after break.


Walking into class on the first day and seeing you have an attractive classmate.


When your professor assigns a project during syllabus week.


When you made it to the first Friday of the semester.


When your professor says you have an exam in a week.


When class is almost over and someone asks a question with less than a minute left.


Pretending to take notes in class.


When you resort to drinking in class because you simply don't have time to pregame after.


You forgot to assign the homework.”


When you look at your bank account half way through the semester.


When you're deciding if you want to play the field or go steady with the boy from last semester.


When you embarrass yourself in front of the cute classmate from your 8 am class.


When professors start to mention midterms and how we should start studying.


When you're feeling like the second semester slump is hitting you harder than all of your friends.


When a professor tries to assign work on Spring Break.


When the smartest kid in your class gets an A, so there's no curve on the last exam.


When a professor tries to be funny but you need extra credit.


When you're trying to pack your room up before summer.


When you notice you put all of your studying off for finals and you have to cram the night before.

When you have to say goodbye to your roommates.


When you get in your car and realize you have three months of summer break ahead of you.


Just remember: Second semester is not the sun. You are.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
