Christmas Break, something that all students look forward to, and something that comes so quickly after Thanksgiving. Students all over campus are excited to start going home, and relaxing for a month before they start another full semester of school. Some are graduating, some are getting started on their major classes, and others are just getting started.
Having the time to sit and recollect the semester and what happened is a good way to see what went wrong and how to change it. Maybe it was study habits or not being social enough, or possibly just too busy for ones liking.
“I’m sort of excited, I will be working all break,” said DJ Purcell, Tulsa sophomore. “I will probably be spending time with the family because I don’t get to see them very often.”

Students wrap semester, prepare for break
By Jon Dallis
The seasons change, the air gets cool and students know the fall semester is coming to an end.
The end to the semester also means the end to the year, students around the NSU campus are rapidly getting things ready for the new year, but before the year can begin, the current one has to end.
“I still have a few finals to take, but other than that I'm done with this semester,” said Sarah Trammell, Fort Gibson sophomore.
Most students they will take the time off during winter break, to relax with family and friends or work to earn some much needed money before the new semester begins.
“I'll be working almost the entire break,” said Trammell. “I might do a little traveling, for Christmas, but that's about it.”
The break will be a much needed time off for most students and will no doubtingly be a fun-filled time away from the campus.

Everyone can enjoy a laugh, and this fall semester has proven helpful to keep the laughs coming with the introduction of NSU’s first-ever comedy group Homemade Fireworks. Their inaugural show proved successful and Homemade Fireworks is now ready for the spring semester in Tahlequah.
“We were super psyched after our first show,” said Ryan Combs, Inola freshman and vice president of the group. “We’ve set four dates for the spring semester and can’t wait to perform again.”

Students, faculty, staff take a break
By Daniel Adney
Christmas break gives students and faculty alike a chance to spend some time recuperating and be with those who mean the most to them. The break is spent doing many different things. Students go on vacations, go home and spend time with friends and family or there are those who will stay in town.
“I’m excited about the break because it is going to give me a chance to spend some time with my niece, Carly,” said Ross Moyer, Chelsea junior. “I do miss out on getting to spend a lot of quality time with my niece but when I get to see her it makes it even that more special for me.”
People all choose to spend their time in different ways. On the break many will go home and spend time with their family. When a student comes to college it is hard for some to make time to go home and see their family on a regular basis.
Time is the one thing in this world that a man cannot ever get more of. Many students have limited free time, but this only seems to get worse as their lives progress. They need to use their time in a manner that they can be happy with.
However NSU students and faculty decide to spend their Christmas break it is important that they spend their time doing something that they find important.

Late Night Breakfast available to students Monday
By Leah Moore
December is the most wonderful time of the year and the hap-happiest season of all, according to some, but for college students, December means finals week.
“You can tell it’s getting closer to finals because students come in here quieter,” said Eric Cronk, director of operations.
Finals week can be stressful, so to take away some of the stress and to add a little fun, NSU and Sodexo provide students with an event called Late Night Breakfast. It is a time to eat, sing karaoke and have fun, but most of all; it is a time to de-stress.
LNB is held twice a year, during finals.
“It’s a big deal,” said Jordan Jorgenson, Fort Gibson junior. “It’s the breakfast festivefast for the rest of us.”
Stilwell junior, Teesha Richardson said the food is delicious.
“They have every kind of breakfast food imaginable,” said Richardson.
Eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, gravy and oatmeal are some of the food items listed on the menu. With so many food items to choose from, students cannot find a better deal.
“I go because it’s free,” said Elizabeth Bell, Antlers senior.
Along with free food, students can participate in karaoke fun.
Front of the House Supervisor, Brenda White has worked and enjoyed the event for the past four years. White looks forward to another year of good food and karaoke fun.
“Students pack in, leaving little room to stand,” said White. “The cleanup is a pain, but it’s a lot of fun.”
Students can pack in for this year’s LNB, Monday, Dec. 6, 9:30 - 11:30 p.m., in the NSU cafeteria. It is free food, fun company and a time to make this month the most wonderful time of the year.
