It's the most dreadful time of the year. With teachers still cramming, and students now stressing. Oh no my dear. It's the most dreadful time of the year! This is what is known as dead week but we all know that its not dead week because there are not any assignments to work on and we as students should just be studying and getting ready for finals, oh no its called dead week because as students we are dead from all the assignments and tests we have due the week before finals and meanwhile we are still trying to prepare for finals.

Why in the world would teachers still give us assignments to work on and give us a comprehensive final exam? it doesn't make sense and we are all tired and just want to go home already. It just adds more work for them to get done and I don't see how they would enjoy that. The few hours of sleep that we get is just from doing all the assignments for all the classes because it can never be just for one class. Then we feel even more stressed because now that the week is over and are just now getting started on studying for finals, but now we also have to pack to get ready to leave for Christmas break. The madness going on and the amounts of coffee that are consumed to keep us awake is ridiculous, but there is one thing that we need to make sure to rely on is that God will be there for us during this time of stress and anxiety.

Having the feeling of all that pressure on yourself to get all of the work done is exhausting and can overcome you to cause you to be more stressed than what you need to be. So for sure take care of your self, do not lose hope now because you can make it, and pray that God will provide you with peace and rest because those are the two most important things that are needed in this most dreadful time of the year, but once you get it all accomplished then it will be a time to celebrate and thank God for keeping you rested and not stressed out.

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.

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.
