Thoughts Of A Graduating Senior As Told By "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

It's that time of year. Spring break is over. Student are making their schedules for next semester and picking out their housing for next year. Everyone is pretending that finals aren't around the corner. Students are looking forward to summer break. However, there is one group that isn't experiencing much of this. These are the graduating seniors, and their emotions range from fear to confusion to dread and possibly even to excitement. Whatever thought that may go through their heads, there's a gif from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" for that!

When you just aren't ready to be an adult yet.

Yes, hello. I would like to stay in the bubble that is college forever, please. Thank you.

When you realize you have to start paying off your loans soon.

"What'd you say?"

And you have no money to do so.

Oh, I wish.

So you have to get a job.

#relatable

When the job hunt isn't going well so you have to come up with an idea that'll make millions.

Genius!

When finals are right after Easter.

Thanks, Frank.

When you realize you have to see your adviser about something that might prevent you from graduating.

But so is everyone else and Carol doesn't exist.

But the end-of-the-year formals and banquets are coming up.

Me at Senior Bash.

When you realize you can't live in your on-campus apartment anymore.


I don't think I'll ever live this close to all of my friends or to where I need to be on daily basis ever again. And I won't live with the same roommates anymore. And I won't ever be able to afford a view of both the city of Los Angeles AND the ocean. I'm not ready to leave this apartment.

When graduation keeps getting closer and closer...


...and closer and closer and closer and closer.

And you have one last celebration with your friends.

"Might you say we're getting 'hammered'?"

When your parents are coming to see you graduate and you hope you don't have to cook for them.

This is what it's going to look like.

But when they arrive it's an instant celebration!

Party time!

Spotting your friends during the graduation ceremony.


I'll miss ya, buddy.

When you finally walk across the stage at graduation.

After all, this is the whole reason you went to college in the first place. Congratulations to the class of 2017!

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.
