Hey- Hey you. Yes, you with the greasy hair, bags under your eyes, and the week old coffee stain on your sweatshirt. Sit up and wipe the drool off your chin, because the time has come: Midterms are OVER.

Don't cry. I know it's hard to imagine a life without mountains of school work and stress weighing down on you every passing second, but it's real. Now that you've trudged through the dreaded October work load, you're in the home stretch. With the wonderful outlook of November ahead, it's like a whole new world.

Now don't go too far off on the freedom train. School technically isn't over yet, and you wouldn't want to negate all of the hours you spent crying into your textbook. There was too much blood, sweat, and tears for that to happen. I mean, the classes have to mean something if they took that much of your soul from you, amirite? But now that you've waded through the darkest parts of the semester, you finally have time to stop studying and do OTHER THINGS.

You know those people who were there when you had all of those stress breakdowns? They used to be there for more than just moral support and surprising you with donuts during test days. Now you can actually do more with them instead of crying to them about how terrible your teachers are. They were champs for putting up with you, so you should probably buy them some ice-cream and apologize for all of the hysterics and for taking out your anger on them when they didn't deserve it.

Another positive about the end of this hell is that you no longer need to approach every situation with trepidation and defensive sarcasm. Not everything is going to end in the worst way possible like school work does.

November is a brand new era of endless possibilities for stress free activities. Thanksgiving is approaching as is the abundant amount of Christmas movies that are aired on tv. So please, for the love of God, go take a shower and wash that sweatshirt. You've only got one more month before the end of this school-discolored rainbow. You've made it over the mountain of the semester trail, so let loose a little and relax before December.

Because once December rolls around, there's a whole new set of pain waiting for us before the lovely Christmas break. Finals are coming, but don't worry. Now that you've fought through the mess of midterms, the final tests will seem like a piece of cake and you'll be able to handle the stress like a seasoned veteran.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
