It's that time of year again. Twinkly lights cover tree-lined streets and you've already sent out your Christmas list. The only thing left to endure before weeks of blissful relaxation is exam week. We begin to regret all the classes we skipped and the chapters we *forgot* to read. Buddy the Elf truly knows how we feel when it comes to late night study sessions, eating our feelings, and the painful week-long event we call finals.

Good luck on finals week, everyone! And remember that afterwards, you can start binge-watching Elf everyday until Christmas (and maybe even after).
