10 Things Your Best Friend Will Do For You That No One Else Will
pyxurz.blogspot.com

We all have at least one friend who we can count on for anything. I was lucky to have met my best friend in the first week of college. We are inseparable, and I don't know what I would do without her as my sidekick.

  1. Tells you when you’re being a complete asshole. We all tend to have those not-so-stellar moments when we purposefully do the wrong thing just because we have a tendency to thrill seek. When these potentially regretful moments occur, we can always count on our BFF to tell us what the view looks like from the other side.
  2. Reminds you to take off your makeup after a long night of partying. Let’s be honest here—when we come home from parties, all we want to do is jump into bed for the next twelve hours and only wake up to check and see if any hottie has recently texted. Our best friend, however, will gripe at us until we get the motivation to grab a makeup wipe.
  3. Cleans up the dorm for you. When you come home and your bed has magically been made just the way you like it, you know you have the greatest friend/roommate ever.
  4. Gives you her honest opinion about guys. If she hates a guy you like or vice versa, she is not afraid to tell you. Even when the truth hurts, the BFF knows best.
  5. Tells off someone who is being rude to you. Even if you both have been partying too hard, she will muster up the courage and composure to block out any hater who tries to bring you trouble.
  6. Lets you have your space for quiet relaxation and meditation. It’s the type of friendship where you don’t even have to be saying anything to each other, and it’s not a bit awkward. You both understand the importance of quiet time and study time.
  7. Accepts your oddities and quirks. You act strange, she acts strange. Honestly, who isn’t a bit strange at times?
  8. Laughs at things that only you usually find to be funny. That moment when you recall something hysterical from last weekend and nobody else cracks up except you two. That is genuine friendship.
  9. Share food with you (even if it’s her favorite). You can eat off of each other's plates without asking. Sharing is caring when it comes to you two.
  10. Be fair with you. You get to split the decisions 50/50. You rarely argue. Friendships, like any other type of relationship, only work if both sides are willing to compromise once in awhile. You might not always get to have it your way, but you have a fantastic friend by your side who will support you no matter what life throws at you.

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."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
