21 Tweets That Perfectly Summarize Being A College Student

College students have many frustrations: tuition, difficult classes, too much to do, relationship problems, and more. It's hard to express your frustrations to others in person as they often are going through the same thing and don't want to hear you complain about it. So, us college students often take said frustrations to social media where no one will judge us but instead boost our ego up by favoriting and retweeting. Here are twenty-one tweets that perfectly summarize being a college student.

1. Stair Struggles

Stairs suck. College has a lot of them. My fitbit goal is always reached.

2. Balance

Good question, Rob. I think the answer is no. But if someone says yes, please let me know too.

3. Oh, Tests!

You try to do well on one and then that one doesn't turn out well and it ruins the rest of them. It's like a domino effect.

4. Trampoline

Honestly, I've never read anything more accurate than this. This is how it feels every day.

5. Pause, Please

I think I'll take a month if we can do this.

6. Cycle of Assignments

Honestly, this is embarrassing, but I check my blackboard when I'm out. Like that's how often it updates. You'd think professors would want a break too. Apparently not.

7. The Weekend

You try to be productive and it doesn't end up turning out that way. And then everything you pushed off needs to be done on Sunday and it goes from a day of relaxation to a day of trying not to cry.

8. Race

I can't tell which one I'll be more upset about getting there first.

9. Forget Me Not

There's so much to remember, and honestly I forget a lot of it. Until right before it's due. Then I remember it.

10. High School vs. College

You daze off for a few seconds and you're already on the next chapter. And then you're behind everyone else. And you freak out and you know you're stuck.

11. Questions of College

College stresses you out and makes you ask yourself too many questions that you shouldn't be asking. Makes you overthink everything, overthink life. It's awful.

12. Mom?

You want to be independent from your parents and have them realize you can do it on your own. But you also want to be able to eat and you can't do that without them.

13. Always Tired

You will always be tired. Oh, you slept in on Saturday and got twelve hours of sleep? You're still going to be tired because last week you probably got a total of twelve all together. So yeah, you're still tired.

14. L's

You win some and you lose some. You just lose a lot more in college. So yes, some L's are necessary when spelling college.

15. College Halloween

Enough said.

16. Never Graduating

Never graduating. Not on purpose. Just because college is so hard I will not be able to graduate. Amen, sister.

17. Grade Obsessed

Yes, I can't help it. I'm obsessed with grades. However, I never learned to study. As you can see this is a conflict of interest.

18. In a Nutshell

So many different feelings. So many different options. So much to do. And there's only one of me.

19. Chasing You

You're running pretty fast but all those other things, responsibility, sleep, deadlines, are all right on your tail and they're not going to let up. They just keep chasing after you.

20. Long Week

Your days are so long they feel like an entire week. It feels like you went through seven weeks in one week. It's exhausting.

21. Questioning Life

College makes you question your entire life. You wonder if you went to the right school, if you picked the right major, if you're wearing the right shirt today, if you said the right thing to that lady behind the cash register. Literally everything.

College is exhausting, frustrating, hard work, time, and money. College takes a lot out of you but gives a lot back to you. I think these are the perfect twenty-one tweets to showcase what it really feels like to be a college student, no holding back or giving it to you sweet. This is what it feels like to be in college.

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.
