1. I'm so tired. I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep with my eyes open in class? Or pretend I'm not napping?
2. We have a test today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did I know this?!
3. Can I quit school yet? It's only October, and I need a vacation.
4. The struggle is so real.
5. I'm so broke. SOS.
6. Stressed? Eat everything you own in your pantry and stuff your face with all your feelings.
7. "Did we have anything due in class today? Homework? Quiz? Test?" "Not that I know of..."
8. I need food. Where is the closest place to get food? I need it stat.
9. This is the longest day of my life. I need a drink, or two, or three.
10. Sleep? What is sleep? What a foreign concept.
11. When someone suggests going and studying in the library, let alone studying in general.
12. When the cafeteria or student center is packed and you can't find a seat anywhere so you literally have to sit in an abandoned corner.
13. When you see someone you used to hook up with. They see you, and approach you; so you have to pretend like everything is normal.
14. When you get your exam and realize you didn't study as much as you should have.
15. When you crush it on an exam or paper that you totally bullshitted.
16.
I need a grande, extra strong coffee to get me through today.

17. When the professor announces you have a project due the following week with no instruction on what it's on and how to do it.
18. Is it Friday yet? Where's the weekend when you need it most?
19. It's freezing in here. I feel like I'm sitting in an igloo. I should have brought a jacket or worn long pants.
20. Did I remember my book? Damn, I forgot the book, and of course I need it for that quiz in class.
21. I would pay a million dollars to not go to class today; or actually never again.
22. I need a hoverboard to ride to class. Maybe then I wouldn't be running 15 minutes late to class every day.
23. Oh she/he's cute! I wonder if they're single. Who are they texting? They're BF/GF? I wonder if they think I'm cute. Could they be a potential new bae?
24. Why is there never any parking? I pay thousands of dollars a year for one parking spot to be open.

25. When it feels like you've been in class for an hour and you look at your phone and it has only been five minutes (I'm crying on the inside).
26. When the professor asks if there are any more questions at the end of class and someone raises their hand.
27. When you get assigned the most incompetent group of people possible for a group project.
28. I need a comfort dog so I can avoid all life and school responsibilities.

2. Wait, we only have a week of classes left before finals?
3. When are my finals even?
4. I hope the schedule for finals doesn’t interfere with my Netflix time.

5. Okay, now I’m stressing about finals.
6. When did we learn all this material? I wish I had been paying more attention in class.
7. Oh no, not another group project instead of a final.
8. I’ll just take a “quick” break from studying.
9. Why is that girl watching Netflix in the library right now? Isn’t she worried about her finals?
10. Ugh, I wish I was carefree enough to be watching Netflix in the library right now instead of studying.
11. I wonder what my final class grade would be if I didn’t do well on this final.
12. Is anyone else as stressed out as I am right now?
13. I need another chocolate bar. I wonder if i have enough quarters for the vending machine.
14. I can’t wait for this semester and for finals just to be over already.
15. Ugh, I hope I studied and know everything that I need to.
So as we're all studying (panicking) for finals, I wish you all the best of luck with your upcoming exams! And remember in a few weeks, we'll be back at home without a worry in our mind. The end is in sight.

1. BAKE ALL OF THE COOKIES
Every year since I was a little girl, my mom and I would bake cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Here's a link to some awesome cookie recipes!
2. Make Gingerbread houses
This is a personal favorite of mine. My grandmother used to buy the standard Gingerbread kits but we would make our own icing and use our favorite candy as decoration. Of course, I would always end up eating a window or part of the roof off later when she wasn't looking (hehe).
3. Hallmark Ornaments
Okay, so I have to explain this one a little bit. There's a Christmas tree in my house dedicated specifically towards me. The ornaments are from my parents childhood, as well as mine. Every year my mom has bought 3-4 Hallmark Christmas ornaments of my choosing to add to the tree. It's really funny, because you can tell how old I was each year from the type of ornaments I would pick out (let's just say Barbie Princess was a big hit from 2000-2005ish).

4. Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
It's my dad's favorite Christmas movie! This 1964 classic has been a hit in the James family for literally over 50 years. Honestly if you haven't seen this movie, I don't know how you could possibly have Christmas.
5. Christmas Eve Family Dinner
After the Christmas service at church, my family always comes over to my house to have a Christmas Eve dinner. We spend this time just enjoying each other, opening one present before Santa comes, and enjoying the true meaning of Christmas.

Although these traditions may not seem the most original, they mean a lot to me and Christmas wouldn't be the same to me without them. After all, Christmas isn't about how many presents you get or the long break you get from school. Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and giving back to others. Merry Christmas everyone, and a Happy New Year.!
