22 Reasons Why IKEA Is The Best
Cool Bananas

Ikea has taken the world by storm through its spunky designs and practical products! Here are 22 reasons why Ikea is literally the best!


1. You can never miss it.

What other store is in a massive blue and yellow building?

2. The food is as good as the furniture.

Seriously, the meatballs are heavenly!

3. They create serious "house goals."

Who else can put a bedroom, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and living room in 391 square feet?

4. There is endless amounts of stuff.

You'll always find what you need, and you will always find what you don't need.

5. Everything is reasonably priced!

Why yes, I do need 30 candles for $2.99.

6. All of their products are on Pinterest.

"Jane Doe created a new board, Ikea Home Makeover."

7. It will turn you into a complete DIY king/queen.

Be careful! It can become addicting!

8. Everything is self-service.

Yes, you have to get it from the shelf. Yes, you have to assemble it when you get home.

9. All products come with easy instructions for assembly.

No words! Just pictures!

10. Transporting everything is no biggie.

Everything is packed into flat boxes to make packing your trunk a breeze!

11. You can test everything!

DO NOT TOUCH DISPLAYS! Ikea wants you to touch, sit, and even nap on the displays!

12. They are always changing the layout of the store.

The walls even move!

13. If you ever get lost, just follow the arrows on the main walkway.

Turn right in 6.5 feet.

14. There is a reason the walkway is never straight for very long.

There is a sharp turn every 50 feet to make sure you never get bored.

15. If you do get bored, just watch other customers.

No matter where you are, there are always couples arguing.

16. Every product has the most unique name.

Different product categories are named after Swedish names, towns, or islands. This system was devised by Ikea's creator, who was dyslexic and had trouble memorizing product numbers.

17. The bathrooms are always spotless!

You won't want to sprinkle when you tinkle...

18. It is family oriented.

They even have a free daycare!

19. You can play an epic game of hide-and-seek.

Ready or not, here I come!

20. It is the Disney World of furniture.

Welcome to the happiest place on Earth!

21. They care about the environment.

All of Ikea's products only use 1 percent of the world's commercial wood supply. Some stores even have gardens planted on the roof to help heat and cool the building more efficiently!

22. There is something for everyone!

Yes, you too!

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."

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.
