10 Reasons Why You'll Miss Your Mom at College

Although she may be driving you crazy right now with packing for college, you'll be missing these moments in a few weeks. This one is for you, mom, and all the times I wish you could FedEx yourself to my dorm.

1) She always motivates you to get work done.

No matter what you do, chances are your mom will support you through it all with encouragement.

2) You'll forget how homemade food tastes.

When was the last time you ate something that wasn't from a microwave or pre-packaged?

3) Sometimes you'll need someone to stick up for you.

Fighting with the registrar office? Arguing with your professor about an unjust grade? If your mom was there, there wouldn't be a problem.

4) Or you need to tell somebody gossip.

Not only does she always listen, but she won't tell a single soul.

5) You're gonna have to ask her about weird adult stuff.

How long do I cook chicken for? What setting do I put on the washing machine? How much do postage stamps cost? She knows it all.

6) And sometimes you'll really need a good hug.

Nobody hugs you as tightly as your mom does.

7) You'll miss her helping you make healthy choices.

8) And always having someone to laugh with.

You'll miss those little moments when you and your mom can't stop cracking up.

9) Mostly you'll miss being able to hang out and talk to her 24/7 about anything.

She would always be there when you needed to vent, or get some advice.

10) But, never forget that she's always a phone call away.

We all miss our moms at college, and of course our moms miss us. Don't forget to call your mom, ask her for advice, tell her you love her, and thank her for all she's done for you. We couldn't have done this without you, mom!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
