11 Impulsive Decisions Every Girl Makes
Jessica Johnston

Making impulsive decisions isn't always a bad things, but it's not necessarily a great idea either. Girls, and women alike, are the queens of making decisions on the whim, putting little to no thought into the logistics. But it's more fun that way, sometimes. Here are 11 impulsive decisions that many of us have made, at least once.

1. Dying our hair


I don't care if your 13, 30 or 85, dying our hair is a decision that's made on the whim more times than not. Unfortunately, it doesn't always turn out the color we intended but hey, there's always next time and besides, the purple is kind of growing on you anyway.

2. Getting a piercing


Whether it's going to have it done professionally or asking your best friend to gently shove a needle through your ear, getting another piercing is never a bad idea.

3. Online shopping


We're poor. We're in college and we have no money to spend. But does that stop us from shopping the sales that never end? No.

4. Deciding to be an artist


We haven't painted or tried being artsy, aside from our Instagram feed, in a very long time. But we woke up this morning and decided it was a day to become the latest Picasso, too bad our sunset turn out like a thunderstorm.

5. Ending a relationship


This is a very rash decision that can blow up in our faces, it's an impulsive decision though so we just called up our latest bf and told him he should see other people because we're going out with the girls in an hour.

6. It's 2 A.M., we should send that text


This never ends up pretty. Phones should automatically shut off after midnight because nothing good ever comes out of impulsively texting anyone at 2 A.M. Might as well have chugged a bottle of wine because our decision making skills go right out the window once we're laying in bed looking at our phone screens... "Hey, I've liked you for a long time but never had the nerve to tell you." Girl, put the phone down and go to sleep.

7. Today is not the day


Most days we wake up and realize all of our obligations are awaiting our actions but then other days we wake up and make the decision to roll over and not put pants on all day. What can you do, today was just not the day to deal with life.

8. Baking


Baking makes us happy and sounds like a wonderful idea until we're 30 minutes in and realize we're baking 12 different things and now our hour of making yummy treats just turned into seven hours of yummy treats. Ooops. Guess we're not doing anything productive today either,

9. Going on a run


Have mercy! How did we used to be so athletic and now we get winded running to the fridge during commercials. But regardless we decided a run would be a good idea and now we're on the verge of dying and our body aches like we're 103 years old.

10. Making a Tinder


Remember that boyfriend we dump a little bit ago? Well he's off seeing other people now and we're home on Friday night sitting in our sweat pants. We need to get back in the game, what better way to hoist yourself onto a guy's radar than advertising your hottest selfies with a cute bio that says your into the outdoorsy activities and rescuing puppies on the weekends.

11. Getting a tattoo


Just don't get it on your forehead or somewhere completely visible to your parents. We'll tell them about the piercing first and try to ease them into it. Sorry, not sorry.

All of these impulsive decisions have the potential to be life altering but that doesn't mean the next time we do it we're going to put anymore thought into it.

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.
