11 Reasons Family Is The Most Important Thing In Your Life

We all have the things and people that we think we need. Whether it is an object, a significant other for the time being, or those friends that we think we will last forever. When these temporary things are gone, we have our family to fall back on.

1. Family will always be there.

When our hearts are broken or we need someone to talk to, our families are always one call away and they will never leave.

2. They know us better than anyone else.

Family members are the ones to watch us grow and change, so they are the only ones to know us for who we really are, and love us anyway.

3. Forever friends.

Our family will always be the people that we can tell anything to. We can cry to them or laugh with them until our stomach hurts. We have friendship within our blood.

4. We have people to make memories with

On the holidays, birthday celebrations, etc., we have family to spend these special times with, making memories that will last forever.

5. Blood is thicker than water

No matter who enters our lives, family runs through our blood, putting them above anyone else.

6. Laugh until we cry

With our family, we can laugh until we cry over the silliest or most embarrassing moments that only they know about.

7. Moral Support

For any big milestone, celebration, or even the smallest thing, our family members are always right behind us for support.

8. They stay with us wherever we may go

No matter where life takes us, our family stays in our hearts forever.

9. Shoulder to lean on

When things get too tough and we need a shoulder to lean on, family is always there.

10. They love us no matter what

No matter what mistakes we make, poor judgments that are made, or how many times screw up, family is the people that will love us no matter what.

11. We carry on

After this lifetime, we are carried on through our families, whether its by genetics, ancestory, or even just our memories. Family allows us to stay alive.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
