The 22 Stages Of December: As Told by 'The Office'
themash

December is a month of mystery. Will I cry tomorrow? Will I binge watch Netflix? Will I bask in the Christmas spirit? I clearly have mixed emotions about this month. Maybe it's because I ate my weight in mashed potatoes during Thanksgiving break. Maybe it's because I'm in complete denial that finals week is approaching. Maybe it's just because my Christmas tree is more lit than I am (sorry that was corny, but seriously, I haven't left my apartment in days). Either way, December is weird and unpredictable. The only way to truly exemplify the inconsistency of my December emotions is through the cast of "The Office".

1) Coming back from Thanksgiving break 10 pounds heavier


2) Hating yourself for choosing to eat 3/4 of the Thanksgiving pie instead of getting a head start on studying


3) Being reunited with your roommates after only a few days of being on Thanksgiving break


4) Realizing that it's the last month of school and you can't procrastinate any longer


5) Going out and ignoring how slammed you are with responsibilities


6) Getting your exam schedule and realizing that you have all of your exams on one day


7) When your professor gives you a study guide for the final two weeks in advance


8) Realizing that you blinked and football season ended


9) Thinking about those teachers that fit in a final test the week before the final


10) Having no shame in using the cold weather an an excuse to not go to class


11) Barely having enough money to finish out the semester


12) Your teacher goes over the final chapter and it's the hardest material that's been covered all semester


13) When someone mentions a Christmas-themed party


14) When the bars tempt you with good deals when you should be studying


15) The overachiever in your class sends out a study guide


16) Finding someone in the library who has a test at 5 P.M. on the last day of finals week with you


17) That one teacher that makes the final optional


18) Realizing you have no time to Christmas shop for your friends and family


19) Packing for break while studying for finals


20) All of your friends finish their exams early and leave for break without you


21) Leaving your last exam


22) Heading home for break

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
