Once a tomboy, always a tomboy.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a tomboy mindset. I went through the girly phase in high school, because I thought that was what I was supposed to do. But now, I embrace my tomboy and don't really care about "being a girl." Whether you asked for a skateboard for Christmas, or wanted to go out for the football team; every tomboy grew up the same — being different. Here are things every tomboy growing up can relate to:

1. You hate manicures.

Whats the point when they're just gonna get chipped tomorrow anyway?

2. You'd rather wear no makeup.

Contouring? What?

3. You've used the same makeup brands since grade school.

Walmart brand > Sephora.

4. You use the word "dude" & "bro" in every sentence.

Because apparently not everyone does the same.

5. When you try to dress up you feel uncomfortable.

Your friends do too, because they're confused why you look normal.

6.You feel the most comfortable in sweats and t-shirts.

You've even worn them to the bar on a Saturday night before.

7. You use the phrase, "I don't care," 50 times a day.

Whether its where you go eat, where you go out at night, or what movie to watch. You just don't care.

8. Your childhood consists of you constantly playing a sport.


From basketball, to softball, soccer, bowling, or lacrosse; you would've even played football if your parents let you.

9. You don't get scared easily

Scary movies, haunted houses, cockroaches in your bathroom. You got this.

10. Growing up, Monday nights were for WWE

When you went to a live filming of the show, you were the happiest 13 year-old ever.

11. Your childhood clothing consisted of board shorts and tank tops.

Hurley, Dickies, DC, and Element were your go to brands.

12. You wish the boys took you seriously.

And most of the time they do...but not always.

13. You asked your parents as a kid to get you involved into drag-racing or motocross, but they didn't budge.

Mostly because Disney kept coming out with movies about girls in a guy sport and you wanted to be just like them.

14. You don't understand how some girls won't drink beer because it "has too many calories"

Beer is heaven on earth. These girls be cray.

15. You don't understand when your friends get in petty fights with their boyfriend.

He doesn't post enough of you on Insta? He hasn't talked to you in 2 hours? Calm down, ladies.

16. Your friends always tell you to fix your eyebrows.

Because you never touch them. You kind of forget that they're even there. Plus, you'd rather spend your money on beer than your face.

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.
