The Trials And Tribulations Of Spring Semester: As Told By Michael Scott
NBC Universal

Recently, I have discovered the show the office. Yes, I know that the show has been around for years, and yes I have lived under a rock during that period of time. The show is absolutely hilarious, and I'm so happy I discovered it.

It's the second week of college of my sophomore spring semester, and so far its been very interesting. to describe how it's been interesting, or how these past two weeks have been. I thought I would have my favorite character, Michael Scott, describe the pleasures of college. So here is college as told by Michael Scott.

1. When the first of many alarms go off...

I dread when the first alarm that I sent on my phone goes off, that means its the start of a new day. When in all honesty I want to go back to bed.

2. The 8 am class.

8 am's are rough, but having a cup of coffee may help you feel less dead inside... or not. But 8 am's, in my opinion, are extremely rough.

3. Doing class projects

Well, that pretty much sums that up.

4. When someone who annoys you tries to talk to you.

Again, that pretty much sums that up.

5. Meeting a new cute guy

You never know who you'll meet in college, it could be love at first sight. And I found someone who's pretty great, and to me is my Jim and I am his Pam... but this is about Michael, not my favorite iconic couple.

6. Going out in the cold... weather

God, I wish. But this winter has been brutal and filled with many snow storms and temperatures that were so cold. I am extremely ready for summer to be here.

7. When the professor says you don't need the textbook, and it's the only one you have of the three books that were required for that class!

That was the day I wanted to throw myself down a flight of stairs, but in all reality, it was OK and I got refunded for the textbook.

8. Realizing it's going to be a good semester! (Or will it?)

Besides all of the jokes I've made, I'm very excited to see what this semester brings me. And I will be looking at this semester very positively no matter what happens to get in my way. But I'm looking forward to having a way better semester.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
