6 Things I'd Rather Be Doing Than Studying For Finals Told By Christmas Music

"YOU’RE A MEAN ONE, MR.FINAL’S, YOU ‘RE AS CHARMING AS AN EEL"

1.) Sleeping

“SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE”
Yes, we know nobody ever goes to bed early in college but when it comes to finals you could be up for days at a time, not even studying. You could enjoy a nice movie, karaoke hour or even snacking away with your roommate.

2.) Watching the 25 Days of Christmas

“IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR.”

From The Polar Express to Elf and everything in between, re-watching these movies 100 times sounds a heck of a lot better than even opening your biology notebook or doing practice problems for stats.

3.) Going back home early

“THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY’S”

There’s nothing quite like that smell of fresh baked cookies and Christmas trees when you walk into your house after being away for so long ( and for so long, I mean 2 weeks). I’d rather be spending time with my family than understanding Psychology 101 because one month of vacation just doesn’t seem long enough.

4.) Going on adventures and looking at Christmas lights

“A ’54 CONVERTIBLE TOO, LIGHT BLUE”

There are so many cute little towns in New Hampshire that are decorated and so pretty to walk the main street and see so many different trees and fronts of stores all decorated with Christmas cheer. Sometimes I think these lights are brighter than my future but these thoughts will subside as soon as finals are over.

5.) Playing games with my friends

“THEY NEVER LET POOR RUDOLPH JOIN IN ANY REINDEER GAMES.”

Well thank god I am not a reindeer because I love to play games with my friends. These types of games can vary from game pigeon on my iPhone to card games and they can relieve so much stress by just being around people who make you feel happy.

6.) Spending time with my friends who also procrastinate

“FAITHFUL FRIENDS WHO ARE SO DEAR TO US, GATHER NEAR TO US ONCE MORE” Enjoy spending time with your friends at college for the time you have because soon it will be Christmas break and you won’t see them for a month. These friends aren't like any other because they understand the struggles of finals and want you to succeed but they want to have a good time and go out with a bang.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
