The Housing Lottery As Told By 'The Office'

I don't know about you, but every year the housing lottery at my school is crazy. It's a long, drawn-out, stressful process, and everyone can't wait until it's over. Even though we have a new system that is supposed to streamline the process, people are still worried about getting their groups set on time and are waiting on edge for their lottery numbers. Of course, no one understands that struggle better than Michael Scott and the gang at Dunder Mifflin.

1. When you get the email from Res Life that the housing website will be up soon and you should start getting your group in order

2. You log into the housing website and discover that you all have to request each other and then accept each other person's request to become a group

3. Is there a "submit" button? Is there any way to make this official?

4. Okay, I guess we just have to wait for another week and a half...

5. When will we get our lottery number???

6. You know that rising seniors get priority but you still have a sneaking suspicion that you'll get a bad lottery number

7. Finally! You get the email with your lottery number!


8. Oh no. You're 134 out of 150. Great.

9. Pick day finally comes and you have your game face on. You're ready to fight for your dream room.

10. You go online and peruse the available rooms but everything is filling up quickly.

11. There it is! Your dream apartment! You pounce on it as soon as you're able to pick.

12. Congratulations! You got your housing done! Go celebrate with your new roommates!

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."

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.
