15 Tim Allen Quotes From 'The Santa Clause' College Kids Can Use When Finals Are Tough Sledding
Walt Disney Studios

1994's smash holiday hit "The Santa Clause" saw Tim Allen don the big red suit and provided one of the best for-family films in a long time, while also bringing some great humorous moments that were not forced.

However, this is not a film review (which I would give an 11/10). Scott Calvin is literally all of us when it comes to being a college student during finals week. This is a perfect film to take inspiration from regarding the one week we always hate: FINALS.

There are some good quotes from Mr. Jolly Ol' St. Tim Allen that apply to your finals. Let's begin!

1. "We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shotguns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women..."

When anyone asks you if you were studying with friends/classmates.

2. Doctor: "So what? You put on a little weight." Scott: "Weight? Does this look like a little weight to you?"

Your diet plunders come finals week. BELIEVE ME.

3. "Can we take a direct flight back to reality, or do we have to change planes in Denver?"

You during a study group....losing your mind.

4. "I'm in big trouble. Mm-hmmm"

Waking up after sleeping through an 8am final.

5. "Not necessarily. It could be rude, sarcastic, whatever it takes!"

When people say that drinking alcohol while studying is 'not good.'

6. "The only thing you need to worry about is where you're going to buy your sweaters after the circus pulls out of town."

Weird conversations with best friends during finals week be like.

7. "What are you talking about? Everybody likes Denny's, it's an American institution."

When you're all out of options, go to Denny's. There's a 24-hour one in Bangor, ME, fellow Black Bears!

8. "1-800-SPANK-ME? I know that number."

9. "Well, isn't that a pretty picture, Santa rolling down the block in a PANZER! Well, kids, I...I certainly hope you have been good this year, cause it looks like Santa just took out the Pearson home. Incoming!"

Mental breakdown 101

10. "Yeah, well, look at my hair. It's turning grey."

Same here, dude. Especially after seeing the seven-page long study guide.

11. "Oh, there's a problem right there: three car pile-up. I'm really gonna be late."

Procrastination heading to your finals.

12. "Where the hell this come from?"

LITERALLY every time something never learned in class pops up on the final.

13. "No thank youuuuuuu....Judy"

14. "It felt like 'America's Most Wanted'."

Exaggerating a story to your friend/parent about taking finals.

15. "I hope not. These are... A gift. Probably from the cable company. We're getting the Disney Channel now. Merry Christmas."

When the professor asks if you're looking at a cheat sheet.

Good luck on your finals and to all a good week! "After this, I'm getting a CAT scan!"

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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."
