Smiling is your favorite.

11 Signs You Are Buddy the Elf

1. You crave holiday treats (no matter who made them).

Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Those are your four main food groups. You love holiday sweets, and you do not care who makes them. As long as you are sitting with some hot chocolate, a slice of pie, and side of candy canes, you're as jolly as Buddy.

2. Singing is the way you show Christmas cheer.

Whether you have a voice similar to Adele or one similar to a reindeer's cry, you spread the happiest of Christmas cheer by singing loud for everyone to hear (whether they want to or not). Maybe you even go caroling.

3. You binge-watch holiday movies all Christmas break.

You go straight home after finals and immediately begin watching holiday movies (especially "Elf"). You even go to the VCR for some movies (if you don't know what that is, bless you). You probably know every line to "Elf," "The Grinch," and even "Frosty the Snowman."

4. You've perfected "watching your mouth" around family.

From parents to grandparents to aunts to cousins, you have perfected not cussing when at home. You go from free rein(deer) to the North Pole in the best of ways. You even come up with other sayings or acronyms to avoid those dangerous words.

5. You come home with holiday adventures with old friends.

You haven't seen your friends from home in months, so you are the ones who make all the cute holiday plans. Going to see Christmas lights, building snowmen, and decorating are your favorite things to do with your friends. You even write them down in your Etch A Sketch (or planner).

6. You're the master behind sneaking food early.

Instead of waiting on extra Santa cookies or waiting for grandma to cut the ham, you dig in. You don't mind being the taste-tester for the rest of the family. You're also definitely the sneaky midnight cookie and milk thief.


7. When you finally get the opportunity to drink with friends, you chug.

You've gone a week or so without drinking, and finally, you get the opportunity to see old friends. So, obviously you forget your limits and begin chugging. That leads to a looooooooong burp (or something completely worse—but let's hope for the best).

8. Surprisingly, you didn't completely bomb your finals.

You are so excited when those final grades are put online. You want to immediately celebrate, so you go to your favorite place (coffee shop with the best cup of coffee of course) to grab a Christmas blend. Congratulations, you passed!

9. You run in to every. single. person. ever. at every. single. place. you visit at home.

Even the awkward people you never really spoke to, yet they wave at you at Kroger at 2:17 p.m. Then your mom starts asking questions about them and you honestly can't tell her anything about that person. But, hey, it's the holidays and you are so excited for Christmas that you happily wave back.

10. Christmas Eve is everything.

You know Santa is literally coming in like five hours. Your'e so excited you have to tell everyone and anyone that will listen. Santa is indeed coming tonight, and you've already put out the cookies and milk (but you've eaten a few before).

11. New Year's Eve & Day are coming soon, too.

The holiday isn't over at Christmas for you. You know how to celebrate a new year, too. New Years' resolutions and a new semester are your favorite things—besides smiling and singing, of course.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
