For many people the Oscars, Grammys, or VMAs are some of the most anticipated events of the year. These award shows give hard working artists and their fans the recognition they deserve in a beautiful night of celebrating the industry, whether it's movies, music, or television. But for those of us who are a little more nerdy, there's a less mainstream award show that usually flies under the radar each year. The Video Game Awards or the VGAs for short is an award show that celebrates not just the gaming industry, but the community surrounding it. With big reveals, awards for developers, voice actors, and streamers, and players alike, the VGAs are easily one of the most anticipated events of the year for gamers. This year the competition was fierce with many amazing nominees. However, only a few could be winners. The categories and winners of the VGAs 2016 are as follows.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
