College Life As Told By Tina Fey

Tina Fey is, without a doubt, one of the biggest names in comedy today. Whether she's appearing on "Saturday Night Live," writing her book, "Bossypants," chatting on a late-night talk show, getting a laugh on "30 Rock" or starring in one of her many hysterical movies, her actions and reactions are related to by so many, but they are especially relevant for those of us in college. Every aspect of university life can be simply and clearly explained by Fey's most shining moments, and here they are:

1. The first time you go to your dining hall and see all of the options:

2. Two weeks later, when you realized that they're going to be serving the same under-seasoned mush for the entire school year and you want to appeal the cost of your meal plan:

3. When you've stopped eating at the dining halls and have resorted to calling for delivery far too often:

4. Trying not to erupt at that student who always argues with the professor:

5. Your professor tells you to start on your research paper, which isn't even due for six weeks:

6. When you ace a test, but you don't know anyone in your class, so you have to celebrate by yourself:

7. After you contribute a red-hot point to the class discussion:

8. When someone counters the aforementioned point:

9. Coming back to class after missing a lecture:

10. When all of your professors have obviously conspired against you and assigned tons of work at the same time:

11. Getting all of your classes for the next semester set up and knowing that you have the best professors at the best times:

12. The moment when your professor asks the class a question and you have to pretend like you're trying to figure out the answer so they won't call on you:

13. When you're still passing the class after your professor puts in midterm grades:

14. Walking out of the library after a particularly intense group study session:

15. Seeing high school kids on tours:

16. Meeting that person you really can't stand in the dorm:

17. When you hear someone crying in the hallway, so you try to be supportive but you genuinely don't know what to say:

18. Trying to get away from that one person who always tries to talk to you in the morning when you're barely awake:

19. When you need "dinner" at 2 A.M.:

20. Meeting families and significant others in your pajamas when your hallmates bring them over:

21. Coming home from Target and immediately opening all of the snacks that you just purchased:

22. Having random dance parties in the dorms, often in pajamas and towels:

23. Leaving your room on Friday nights:

24. Alternatively, staying in your room on Friday nights:

...and finally, finals week.

25. Having to take a huge final for a class that you have an amazing grade in:

26. Coming out of your speaking competency test:

27. Your ~look~, which is not quite makeup-tutorial ready:

28. And of course, that moment when you just can't take it anymore.

At least we have Tina to get us through it all.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
