You may find that work, school, or other obligations keep you from focusing on Twitter the way you should. Thankfully for you, I'm able to tune out those distractions and provide you with a weekly rundown of the best tweets from around campus.
It's that time of year where the absence of football serves as a reminder that we all have real lives, real responsibilities, real concerns, and real troubles.
It's finals week on campus, so I assure you, the players are feeling the same pain. We no longer have our Buckeye Saturdays and we're painfully forced back into reality.
But are we really?
We could just fill that void with something else completely meaningless and continue to ignore reality, which is why I've again compiled the week's best tweets for your reading enjoyment.

Accounting
— EzekielElliott#15 (@EzekielElliott) December 10, 2015
Shoutout to me for 1) Dominating my accounting final and 2) Never having to see Marc Smith again.
Although, Zeke also will never see him again because he's leaving school to make millions of dollars. I guess I should try to be a Division-I running back next time.
Everyone: "You a (insert team playing today) fan today?" Me: "Nah....I'm a Buckeye fan everyday"

Are you going to be the brave soul who reminds her she doesn't? I'd wager against it.

If you told me a year ago that I would eventually like Justin Bieber, I wouldve slapped you in the face, but here I am liking Justin Bieber
— Aaron Mawhirter (@aMawhirter) December 9, 2015
Justin Bieber has always been great. If it's taken you this long to realize it, I feel sorry for you.
I am truly #thankful that my professor @TracySettle gave me a chance to express to my mother how grateful I am for her guidance over the yrs

Currently, there is no actual evidence that the beard has been shaved. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.

Outside Looking In
If you thought the College Football Playoff's Selection Sunday felt quite a bit different this season, you're not alone. The players felt it too.
On the outside looking in....

I'm just as bummed as anyone about not making the playoff, but ND is a hell of a team. Chance to win 50 games. Back to work #Grind
— Taylor Decker (@TDeck68) December 7, 2015
This bowl game will be a statement for the Bucks... Gonna ball out!

Winter is Coming
Torrance Gibson, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, has never seen snow. In fact, I'd venture to say he's never felt temperatures below 40 degrees. Winter is coming and, evidently, he thinks he's ready.
Sooooooooooo where is the snow? I've never seen snow before.
— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
Man chill bruh... So Fla boy to So Fla boy it ain't gravy yo lol https://t.co/o310Rcgb6Y

— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
@YoungKing_JD5 Well, I'll be out there who ever wants to join me
— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
@YoungKing_JD5 I'll be the judge of that
— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
@CoachZachSmith I just want to see snow. That can be my Christmas present.
— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
@CoachZachSmith I just noticed I don't have a winter coat! Brb gotta go get one now.
— Torrance Gibson 6 (@quick_tg6) December 7, 2015
He's going to love it for about a month, but we'll check back in on Mr. Gibson in February when he wakes up to an unexpected fresh blanket and realize he still has to walk to class. Also, I'm willing to bet those hoverboards don't do too well on ice and snow.
