13 Things Your High School Friends Know That Your College Friends Never Will
Kat Horwedel

Your college friends may be the here and now that get to spend the most time with you, but your high school friends are your true best friends that you'll have forever. They've been with you -- and know it all -- from the hardest, most embarrassing, and emotional times of your life and there's no one better than them.

1. All of your crushes and relationship details since ninth grade.

They helped you stalk your crush on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, anything really. They know all about your obsessions, and all of the boys that let you down.

2. What you looked like before highlights, before your braces came off, during your awkward stage.

Every birthday you fear that your high school friends will post a collage of your most embarrassing pictures.

3. The hard times you went through.

Whether it was parents getting divorced, a family member dying, or just relationship problems, they know everything and were always there to pick up the pieces.

4. What lunch table you sat at and your entire class schedule.

Or they went out to eat with you every day except chicken nugget and pizza day.

5. Everything thing that Regina did to make you hate her.

Your college friends may just know her as a girl from high school you don't like. Your high school friends know her as someone you deeply hate and everything about her that annoyed you.

6. Regrettable hair styles.

They didn't judge you the time you were a ginger, or those awful lowlights and highlights. Now, you look back at old pictures and laugh.

7. How old you were when you got boobs.

Yours kept growing and growing while theirs were at a stand still. Honestly, it shaped your group's dynamic for life.

8. Your pet's names.

They loved your pets like your own and vice versa.

9. Your phone number and address.

Your college friends only know your current address and maybe what dorm you lived in freshman year. But if you needed to call your high school friends and for some reason didn't have your cell phone, you would still be able to dial their number.

10. Your go-to selfie poses.

They know exactly how you're going to pose for a group photo or just a Snapchat. Whether it's a smile, the classic duck face, the tongue out, or cheesy grin.

11. Embarrassing nicknames your family calls you.

If your parents come to visit you at college you have warned your parents numerous times to not embarrass you, but your high school friends know about all the horrible nicknames your parents call you.

12. Your sibling(s) birthday(s).

Your high school friends have actually shown up to your sibling's birthday partly like they're part of the family, and vice versa. You really celebrate every holiday with each other.

13. The best places to eat in your home town.

Your college friends share the love for the food in your college town, but when you visit your home town, your college friends know what you've been missing and going out to eat is the perfect way to catch up.

Although you don't get to see them as often as you'd like to, your high school friends have been there through the glasses, and braces, bad makeup, and breakups, and you couldn't love them more for everything they've gone through with you.

"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.
