Remember in school when the weeks leading up to Christmas break meant less work, Christmas movies, and holiday parties? Those were the good old days. Unfortunately, college is not like that. As a matter of fact, it's way far from that. Instead, the weeks leading up to Christmas break means mental breakdowns, stacks of papers to write, projects, last minute assignments, mental breakdowns, over exhaustion, overdosing on caffeine and energy drinks, and the worst part of all: exams on top of exams. It's a dreaded time of year that no college student looks forward to. Who better to tell it than the grinch?
1. Approaching the week of finals.
2. Trying to cram a semesters worth of information into your head.
3. When the rest of the world gets to enjoy Christmas but you still need to get through the rest of the semester.
4. Trying to spread the Christmas cheer on campus.
5. When you're stressed, tired, broke, failing 8 out of 5 of your classes, and your whole life is falling apart.
