Everyone has a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. I interviewed one hundred people, and this is the results I got for which side dishes are the best and which are the worst! Let's start from the worst...

1. Cranberry Sauce

What even is Cranberry sauce? Why is it a thing? I always pass over it!! Thank u, next.

2. Yams

I yam what I yam... but apparently people don't like yams?!?!

3. Green Bean Casserole

I love green bean casserole, but it is not as loved as I thought! Hitting as the 3rd worse side, Green Bean Casserole. I guess no one likes veggies for Thanksgiving!

4. Stuffing/dressing

This one BROKE MY HEART!! If this were my ranking, stuffing would be #1. I love it!! But it was not too high up on the list. How tragic.

5. Dinner Rolls

This surprised me how high it was ranked... I'm not even sure I get dinner rolls on Thanksgiving because there is so much else to eat... but everyone loves a good dinner roll!

6. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes, homemade in my opinion, is a fan favorite for Thanksgiving. Especially if they have the skins still in them! Mashed potatoes just barely lost as number 1 side dish.

7. Mac N Cheese

I am not shocked this ranked as the best - Mac n Cheese is hard not to love! This is the signature dish I bring to Thanksgiving and it always goes over very, very well. My special recipe is to die for!

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.

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
