Christmas is one of the greatest holidays because it's not just about a single day, it's about everything that leads up to Christmas. Malls start putting up decorations weeks before Christmas, Santa shows up at every corner, even Starbucks' have drinks exclusively for the Christmas season. So why then do I think Christmas sucks? Because while all that holiday cheer is being spread, I'm stuck at college during the worst part of the year, finals. So this is why Christmas sucks when you're in college.

1. You are too stressed about finals to even think about Christmas.

2. You don't have a Christmas tree.

3. Decorating your dorm just isn't the same.

4. You have to witness all the Facebook and Instagram pictures of other people doing fun holiday things.

5. You don't get to watch the holiday movies on TV.

6. People yell at you for playing Christmas music.

7. You forget to get your friends and family presents.

8. You don't get to enjoy all the decorations that stores put up.

9. Everything costs money and you have no money, or time, and you are so tired, and you have so much work.

10. You don't get to go to holiday parties.

11. You just want to curl up by a fire with warm cider and listen to Christmas music while you watch the lights on you tree flicker and reminisce about your childhood. But you can't because you have too much work to sit down, you have no tree, no cider, no time to think about your childhood, everyone is grumpy about playing Christmas music, and if you set a fire you would be kicked out of school.

12. And if you're as unlucky as me, your last final is days before Christmas. That's right kids, yours truly has a final on December 22. Merry Christmas.
