11 Signs You're Suffering From Junioritis, Which Is Way Worse Than Senioritis

I know we've all heard of senioritis and most of us experienced it senior year in high school. But let me tell you what the real silent killer is: Junioritis.

Junioritis is worse than senioritis because it doesn't hit you in your last year of school, it hits when you still have a year and a half left. That's a long time to put up with these symptoms.

As I approach the end of my junior year in college I've been hit with a terrible case of junioritis. I'm desperate to be finished with school but I'm still stuck with one more year of classes. If you're like me you're thinking the same thing: where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

1. You're way too preoccupied with finding an internship and perfecting your resume than paying attention in class.

Hello? I'm graduating in a year, I have to make up for the past three years I've spent doing nothing. I need to perfect my resume and transform myself into someone a company would consider hiring.

2. You think going to class is a monumental feat that deserves a reward.

It's my third year in college, I may not have very much figured out but I do know this: going to class is so important. No matter how much of a chore it is, I still go, even if I struggle to stay awake.

3. You don't know the last time you went to class not dressed like a degenerate.

Putting effort into how I look to attend a lecture where I'm hardly going to interact with anyone? Nah.

4. You live on cereal, chicken nuggets, and corndogs because you're broke and have no time to cook.

Plus they taste delicious so this isn't really a loss.

5. Your brain is so full of information you can't fit anything new in.

How am I supposed to study for tests when all I can remember is a random fact from my freshman history class? My brain has reached capacity, I'm tapped out.

6. Procrastinating is your lifestyle now.

Just embrace it. Motivation does not exist anymore. I will find literally anything else to do besides what I should actually be doing.

7. You binge Netflix on the daily.

It's basically therapy and an escape from your life. Then it becomes your life. Oops.

8. You constantly daydream about what it will be like to have more than $2.83 in your bank account.

I'm not looking forward to having a real, full-time job but I am looking forward to not being paid minimum wage.

9. You want to tell the high school students touring campus to run.

I may or may not be guilty of yelling this at a tour group.

10. You cry while planning your class schedule for the next semester.

I still have 28 hours to take? Can I not do that all in one semester?

11. Literally all you can think about is graduation.

Please, can May 2019 come any sooner?

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

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."
