Because Finals Suck

Its the week before Christmas and all the students were stressed, with visions of finals and teachers and tests. Not a wink of sleep, not a day with out coffee, these students are weak give them a break!

With finals being the life ruining week that they are (literally, life ruining), I thought I would make the days a little brighter and better with photos and gifs and videos to create the ultimate study break.

#1. Cal Shapiro, lead singer for Timeflies, and more importantly look at that smile. Can you say Swoon?







#2. In a time of stress and lets be honest, a lot of defeat, sometimes the only medicine you need is sheer unadulterated laugher. The best kind, is straight from Fox's New Girl...because nothing is better than someone having a more awkward life than you. Skip to 4:55 and you'll see why LLS (Ladies Love Schmidt).

#3.Puppies. Honestly, is there even an explanation needed for soft,
fuzzy, loving animals that provide a much needed distraction?
 No, they're soft and they remind you of that far away place once called your bed.
#4. Ryan Gosling. Because he is the one that really got us through finals.




#5. It's the humpday of finals week, for some of us, and you can nearly see the light. But not before a little Scandal action from Olivia and Fitz..because they're relationship is so messed up, it almost makes you feel ok about your finals week.

and oh... yes Olivia, you can do that. ----->






Although it's short, it's sweet nonetheless and you really should be getting back to studying. This is a small list of the beautiful things that make finals week a little less terrifying, and a little more bearable (even it's its only for a moment). Finals week is like the Regina George of college, personally victimizing everyone and disapproving of those beautiful white gold hoop earrings you got for Hanukah. So go on, crush finals like 1D crushed this song.

Thank you, Dad.

Although there are millions of men and women who deserve endless amounts of praise and thanks for all that they have done for our country, there is one special guy I'd like to thank especially. My dad. It's been years since the man has seen combat, or even been in the cock-pit of his most prized Huey Helicopter, but that hasn't stopped him from sharing his memories with me. Ironically the idiot joined the Marine Corps on a dare by his college roommates, but that dare turned into something much more than a whim.  After more than a decade spent serving our country, my father left the Corps as a Major, and would be one of the highest ranked Marines today if it weren't for me. My dad gave up his career in the military so I wouldn't have to move from place to place, fighting to fit in and becoming detached from society. My dad gave up so much to simply be my dad, and that's something I will never be able to express my complete gratitude for.  My dad i...

Why we can learn from our dogs.

Beyoncé once asked, "Who run the world?", and she then answered for all of us when she obviously said, "Girls"...I mean it's true, we (as a collective gender) gave birth to the world. However, I think Queen Bey forgot something very important when it comes to people, and those who rule it--it would be impossible to run anything if you didn't have (hu)man's best friend by your side. Not only do dogs selflessly provide us with something to pet and keep us warm at night, but they provide us with undeniable and unrelenting love and affection. It would be pretty lonely ruling the world without a dog there to put a little pep into your step. It seems silly, really, that dogs don't get any credit for making the world a better place. It also seems silly that I'm even thinking about dogs ruling the world (hey, that's not a horrible idea). But I think there's some value into considering that while humans can change a dogs life, it's just as...

Olympic Rings and Emotional Things: What is it about the Olympics that make us ugly cry over sports and athletes we've never heard of?

I'm sitting here on a Wednesday afternoon where, from my couch,  I am transfixed by the multicast view of the Olympics. A quadrant of screens take up the TV where a medal ceremony, men's basketball, skateboarding and a women's soccer game are all happening at the same time. Now, I've always been someone with a love of sports - and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to watch multiple events at the same time, or maybe even grab a stealth peak of the ESPN app to check the score while at a wedding...but to have a quad screen up with multiple sports - even for me, that seems excessive. It got me thinking, what is it about the Olympics that continually captures my attention so fully I can not simply fathom picking ONE of these events to watch? The simple and most obvious answer is that it's fun to watch the world's best athletes compete against each other. You get the super teams, the living legends, the hometown heroes, the underdogs, the record holders - ...
