The Struggles Of College As Told By 'Grey's Anatomy'

Grey's Anatomy may take place in a hospital, but I think we all know that it really outlines all struggles we face in life, especially through college. It's like the characters are actually talking to us a lot of the time, or sometimes it's like they're taking the words right out of our mouths.

1. Those days your roommate has to coax you out of bed to make you go to classes.

2. When you try to participate in class, but your professor tells you your answer is wrong.

3. We all know that one student (or professor)....

4. After that exam you know you failed...

5. Those nights you know you should be going to the gym, but you just can't make it.

6. When you're the only one of your friends that failed the exam...

7. After a long day of classes with no breaks in between.

8. To the friend who tries to drag you down after you finally have a good day, but they don't.

9. After your professors say, "You'll do really well in this class, as long as you put in the work".

10. Whenever your professor tries to say "one last thing" after the class time ends...

11. During the holiday season when your family asks why you're not involved in more activities.

12. After a fun night and you ask your friend if they're okay.

13. How to explain to other students who've never taken a class with the professor you have.

14. When a professor tells you, "This isn't your best work".

15. Waking up that morning and realizing you have an exam.

16. At the end of a long week...

17. Two words: Group. Project.

18. When you find out all of your friends passed their exams.

19. Looking at your grades in the final weeks of the semester.

20. But, at the end of the day you know you'll end up getting through it all.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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."
