Life is tough. Sometimes we get stuck in a slump where all we think we can do is work to live and live to work. Or maybe, you are facing an illness or tragic event. Perhaps school is getting tough and you're running out of hope. We all get low in life as much as we try to keep going. I know it's not always easy, but words of encouragement are always the best ,and this is coming from someone who will openly search Pinterest for inspiration. Here are some things that everyone needs to hear throughout their life:

1. Every struggle in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times, they can only make you stronger.

2. Follow your heart but take your brain with you

3. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take.

4. If you want to fly, you have to give up the stuff that weighs you down.

5. Some days you eat salad and go do yoga, and some days you eat cupcakes and refuse to put on pants. It's called balance.

6. True humility is staying teachable, no matter how much you already know.

7.Say it before you run out of time. Say it before it's too late. Say what you're feeling. Waiting is a mistake.

8. Comparisons are the thief of joy.

9. One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.

10. Life becomes easier when you can accept an apology you never got.

11. Work should be a way to live life happily, not to control you.

12. Let no one come to you without leaving happier.

13. It always seems impossible until it's done.

14. Stop focusing on how stressed you are and focused on how blessed you are.

15. Live in such a way that if anyone were to speak badly of you, no one would believe it.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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.

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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."
