Michael Scott can relate to the average college student pretty well.

This Point In The Semester As Told By Michael Scott
Kit Langan

It's a universal truth that at this point in the semester, college students have just about had it. If you're feeling the end of the semester stress and need a little pick me up, I encourage you to find some comedic relief through the one and only Michael Scott as he describes how the majority of us are feeling right now.

1. When you look at all of the material on your multiple study guides and realize how complex it actually is

2. When a classmate asks if the final is cumulative and your professor responds with, "of course it is, why would you think otherwise?"

3. When you're finally focusing on all of the work you need to get done and get a heartwarming notice from your bank account alerting you that your remaining balance is under $5.00

4. When you realize it's December and you're halfway done with yet another year of college and are one step closer to entering the real world

5. When your professor says that there will be no curve on the final under any circumstances whatsoever

6. When you're running on two hours of sleep from studying or finishing a paper and you're walking through your major department's building

7. When you realize that you have less than two weeks to get your academic life together

8. When you finally sit down to write that term paper you've been putting off for the entire semester and you're at a loss for words three sentences in

9. When the only thing that will make you feel better is eating ice cream for lunch and someone tries to question it

10. When you decide that anything other than getting your work done is exactly what you're going to do

11. When one of your professor's just refuses to recognize that you have four or five other classes to worry about

12. When you finally bring yourself to sit down and face the reality of all of the assignments, papers, and studying you have to complete in less than a week

13. When you read the first question on your final exam and realize that the odds are most definitely not going to be in your favor

14. When you think back on all of the time throughout the semester that you had to get done all of the work in front of you but you just chose not to

15. When you get a notification from Blackboard notifying you that your final grades have been posted

16 (featuring Dwight). When you realize that you made it through another week of finals and that Christmas break is finally here!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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."

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.
