10 Times I Had To SMH Because I Had No Words

In life, there are certain moments that will leave you speechless. The movies I used to watch had me believe this feeling would follow something awesome, like a first kiss or reaching the top of the mountain. I guess this isn't the first time movies gave me unrealistic expectations (see also: making friends, my love life, that time I went to Rome and didn't accidentally switch places with my pop star doppelganger).

Movie producers leave out the everyday, fist-clenching details of life that many of us have to face; like how many times do you watch someone reach into the fridge only to find the Brita container was empty?!

I was not prepared for this type of adversity. It's time I share my struggle in hopes that we can fix this issue, and put an end to those post-longest-day-ever mental breakdowns!

Here is a list of moments that will make you pause and shake your head. RT to save a life.

1. People who decide that the doorway is the best place to hold a conversation.

And they will continue to get annoyed with you when you try to pass them. SMH.


2. When you've met someone before (at least three times), and they’re still gonna swerve you in public.

You shook my hand and looked me in the eyes. I’VE EVEN USED YOUR BATHROOM!! Dude, SMH.


3. When I finally find a parking spot, but I actually didn't because someone left their shopping cart in the middle of the parking space!!!!

The universe just wants to make me work for everything. SMH.


4. I got enemies, got a lot of enemies... and they love to subtweet.

Congratulations, you solved nothing. SMH.


5. But then they will randomly like my picture again like we’re cool

So you support me via likes now? Make up your mind PUH-lease. SMH.


6. Then a few weeks later, they will text you trying to rekindle!

Ahh, I saw this coming when you liked my picture! I guess I'm psychic; I should start solving murder mysteries. SMH.


7. People who put the empty Brita back into the fridge.

Just... why? SMH.


8. When girlfriend posts a picture of herself in a revealing bodycon suit...and the caption reads “new shoes”

You mislead me with the pic girl; this is why I have trust issues. SMH.


9. If you’re the last to finish the TP roll, REPLACE IT.

What if I just left YOU with nothing but a cardboard tube to wipe your ass? You wouldn’t be so happy about that either. SMH.


Last, but certainly not least.


10. How are you going to allow your over-sized dog to jump up and claw into my freshly shaven thighs? Should I bring a shield and a first-aid kit every time I walk through your door?

Well, don't just sit there and chuckle, please remove your dog since it is not socially acceptable for me to punt it. SMH.


I can only hope these catastrophic events will end by setting an example. Always remember to be considerate and refill the gosh-darn Brita!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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."

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.
