Your Semester as Told by Breaking Bad
Independent

If you're like me then you know Breaking Bad is just about as addictive as Heisenberg's famous blue crystal meth. You would also know that once you start watching Breaking Bad your semester could have a lot of ups and downs as you try to balance your schoolwork and keeping up with Jesse and Walt. Now if you have it real bad and the show is always on your mind, there are times where the show just gets you and explains perfectly how you feel and all you can say is...

So in review of the last semester and for all of those taking summer classes, let the Breaking Bad therapy begin. Here's 15 times Breaking Bad hit the nail on the head with how you felt during the semester:


1. When the class you need is full and you can't register because you had a hold on your account:


2. When you find out the required book in the syllabus isn't really required because the one chapter you need is online:


3. When you remember an assignment that's due at midnight at 11 p.m.:


4. When you don't know what you're doing and need help from your pal Saul who knows how to work the system:


5. When you turn in your paper at 11:59 when it was due at midnight:



6. When you try to bribe your TA as a broke college student:


7. When you have fun with the lab equipment since your lab professor isn't looking:


8. When your professor not only tells you that you can work on homework together but encourages it:


9. When midterms come around:


10. When you find out you get a cheat sheet on the test you didn't study for:


11. When your professor tells you that there is a paper due or test the Monday after spring break:


12. When your teacher asks if you understood what they did:


13. How you feel when you work on a project with lower class students for your GPA boost elective:


14. When you your assignment grades are finally posted and you realize your GPA is going to tank:



15. Walking out of finals with your head held high because the semester is over:


Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it and you feel a bit better about your semester! If not then don't sweat it, just go re-watch Breaking Bad in its entirety. Now go party!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.
