To The Student In All Their Major Classes, You Got This

Finishing your prerequisites means being put in four classes of the same subject.

To the student who is constantly stressed because you don't know the difference between your Bio 231 homework and your Bio 232 homework, it will be okay. Finishing your general college courses is satisfying until you realize that means you will probably be taking three classes in the same subject and one other class that is in a subject so similar it may as well be the same. I promise those types of semesters will get easier and you won't miss that "intro to psych" class anymore just because it broke up your schedule.

Being in your major classes means you are that much closer to graduating and having your degree. I know that first semester stuffed with major classes is still hard because there may be overlap between class materials or even overlap with the professor. You will learn to keep everything straight and not mix up the homework for two classes.

You finished your general education courses which means from now on, any class you take pertains to your major and career. No more sitting in that history class as a chemistry major wondering how you are going to apply it to your future career. Those general education courses are essential to everyday life but not if you are paying a ton of money to come to college for a specific reason.

You are an adult now and that means doing a lot of difficult things. Taking four history classes a semester or four psychology classes a semester may not be the most fun thing you do in college but it will be one of the most beneficial to your degree. The more required classes you can get finished the better your chances of graduating.

Just remember when you are taking all those major classes that you will graduate and you can handle it. Nothing can stop you from obtaining your degree and finding a great career!

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."

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.
