10 Reasons Why Spring Is Objectively The Worst Season

It's the most terrible time of the year.

Like any self-respecting basic white girl, I love love love fall. It is the season of sweaters, falling leaves, delicious hot coffee and pumpkin-spice everything -- a total dream. Winter and summer are pretty good too, and they have lots of things to be excited about. I look forward to snow days and Christmas music in the winter and some time by the beach in the summer, but the only thing to look forward to in spring is when it will be over.

Let's face it. Spring is an objectively bad season. It is the period of time where we are tired of winter and longing for summer, but all we get is bipolar weather, rainstorms and the occasional, very much unwelcome snowstorm.

1. Pollen

It seems innocuous at first, maybe even a beautiful sign that sweet summer is approaching, but soon it in everywhere -- in your hair, on your car, in your eyes. Then, your allergies start to kick in, and your stuffy nose and sore throat are making you question why you ever thought this was a good thing.

2. Bipolar weather

Last week it was 80 degrees and sunny everyday, and this week we're expected a blizzard! You can never put away your winter coat for good, and now you're tripping on your sandals as you grab your rain boots for the fourth time in a week. Even worse, how are you supposed to dress when your weather app says it's 30 degrees now, but its going to be 60 at 3 p.m.? This is just pure madness!

3. Spring fashion is... questionable

Spring is the time for wearing summer clothes in sub-summer weather or winter clothes when it is simply too hot. There is no clear "spring fashion", like you find in literally any other season.

4. Summeritis

Winter break really doesn't give students enough time to reset and be ready for the upcoming semester. By the end of spring semester, we are all so burnt out and ready to go home and sleep for about 50 days or so, but we have to continue to keep up with finals exams and assignments that we are *so over* at this point.

5. No fun holidays

Summer: Is a holiday, basically.

Fall: Did someone say Halloween?

Winter: CHRISTMAS and New Years

Spring: Really nothing except for Easter, which isn't fun at all, just a lot of time at church if you're Christian and religious and a minor inconvenience because everything is closed if you're not.

6. Bugs.

Probably the best part about cold weather is not having to worry about creepy crawlies showing up everywhere, but during the later months of spring, our old friends start to come back. No. Thank. You.

7. Rain, rain everyday

Is there anything more depressing than rain everyday for a month? I don't think so. I mean, it was cute the first couple days, but after walking home drenched once, I really don't think I need to do it again, thank you very much.

8. Daylight savings (the bad one)

"Spring forward." The two words that bring shivers to my spine. Losing an hour of sleep is a big deal to this over-tired college student. So what we get an extra hour of sun? I'd much rather be cuddled up in my bed.

9. Finals szn

The last couple weeks of the semester are absolutely killer, and they culminate with the worst part of the school year -- finals. Not only are we all burnt out, now we have to try to reign in any last bits of motivation to try to save our grades one last time.

10. People who can't stop talking about their 'beach bod'

I get it, Janet, you went to the gym three days in a row. You look fine, please don't brag about that crazy fad diet you want to go on. You need actual food.

So there you go, spring sucks. You can't claim otherwise, it's just objectively true.

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.
