It's almost fall (the best season by far, don't get me wrong) again and you know what that means: Pumpkin Spice Latte season. It's everywhere — in candles, loaves of bread, I even saw pumpkin spice Frosted Flakes the other day. But the most important PSL flavored thing around is the coffee (obviously.)

People go absolutely nuts when this Starbucks drink gets reintroduced every year. Starbucks even released it early this year so people were going even more nuts.

Honestly, I don't get the hype. I've tasted the latte and it's alright, but I've had better coffee. In my ~very~ unpopular opinion Pumpkin Spice Lattes aren't good and the world would continue to turn without them, but since they do exist, here are 25 things I'd rather do than drink one.

1. Give the class a fun fact about myself

2. Listen to Justin Beiber songs a continuous loop

3. Have to survive the summer without air conditioning

4. Only be able to watch daytime soap operas for TV for the rest of my life

5. Listen to Christmas music all year round

Yes, this is a bad thing

6. Run a marathon

7. Clean my entire house with a toothbrush

8. Use that same toothbrush to brush my teeth

9. Laundry for my entire family

Giphy

10. Wash dishes with slimy, unknown food particles still stuck to them

Giphy

11. Shave my head

Giphy

12. Watch only Nicholas Cage movies for the rest of my life

Giphy

13. Walk barefoot through a fire ant bed

Giphy

14. Go Black Friday shopping

Giphy

This too is a bad thing...

15. Always be stuck behind someone driving five miles an hour below the speed limit

16. Have a pop quiz every time I go to class

17. Have lemon juice poured into my eyes

18. Always feel a popcorn kernel stuck between my teeth

19. Only be able to wear soaking wet socks

20. Have my teeth pulled with no anesthetic

21. Get braces again

Giphy

22. Always feel like I have to sneeze

23. Always have a rock stuck in my shoe

24. Relive middle school

Giphy

25. Count blades of grass

Enjoy your Pumpkin Spice everything!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

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 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.
