Winter Break And No Job: A Day In The Life

Waking Up

A nice and early wake up time of 8 or 9 isn't that difficult when the night before you went to bed around 10 PM after a crazy night of Netflix and snacks.

Checking Social Media

I'll only mention this once, but we all know that the same rotation of checking Snapchat, Instagram, and then Facebook happens every 10 minutes when you have nothing to do all day.

Making A Bomb Breakfast


It's not like you have anywhere to be so you can take all the time you want making that insane avocado toast you saw on Instagram the other day. Bonus points because this culinary masterpiece can count as your one productive thing for the day.

Binge Watching TV


Watching Netflix all day is a staple in anyones routine over break, but you can spice it up by doing some sort of hobby while watching How I Met Your Mother for the 6th time. I personally prefer crocheting or knitting.

Rising From The Ashes


There's only so many hours you can spend in a dark room staring at a screen so it's time to move. You dress yourself for a workout, but let's be real, you're just going to be doing some light stretching then take a shower. It's the thought that counts though.

Dinner


Before you know it, it's dinner time, and your parents make you step outside of your bubble that is your room to have dinner with them. The topic of conversation is most definitely them not liking your new hibernation schedule.

Bedtime


Once you get back in bed and into your favorite sweatpants, you realize it's around 9 PM so it's pretty much time to go to sleep. You snuggle up in bed with some Netflix (a different show this time, variety is key), maybe a little Candy Crush and PTFO.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.

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. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. 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. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
