The week before Thanksgiving break as a college student is the most stressful time of the year. Three exams, two papers, a presentation, plus reading and work (so you can actually buy presents on Black Friday), MENTAL BREAKDOWN GALORE!

1. Walking out of your bedroom to go to class.

2. When your professor(s) keeps reminding you of all the things that need to be done before you go home

3. You haven't had anything to eat the past 24 hours, but you finally take that first bite of food

4. When your best friend is also having a mental breakdown, but you have no way of consoling him/her.

5. When your professor mentions material that will be on the exam, but you have no idea what they're talking about.

6. When your friend mentions they have nothing to do for the rest of the week and it's only Tuesday.

7. When you realize you only have $4 in your bank account, but Black Friday is next week.

8. You were up so late last night to study, slept through your alarm and are already 10 minutes late to class.

9. The moment you realize you failed the first exam, so now you need to get a high grade on the next one and now you regret not studying.

10. Your friends ask you to hangout and you know you need to go to the library, but you hangout instead

11. When your parents hit you with the encouraging text because they know your week has been rough.

12. The moment you hand in the last assignment due for the week and you get to breath a sign of relief.

13. The time has come and you finally get to celebrate Thanksgiving break and all of the hard work you just put in.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

Seton Hall University

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."

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.
