To the ladies I will live with for the next two years, I love you both more than I love avocados, and that's saying something!

500 Words to My Froomies
Kelly Mahaffy

Ab and Em,

We have been preparing for this for SO many months now. Soon, we will be living together and we will be roomies and all will be good in the world. I am so excited to return to school, fight over apartment decorations, and finally feel like an adult in our real life apartment. I know this summer will feel long, however, because you two, my two best friends, are not with me for the summer. All school year, we have known we would be living together. We have planned, talked, fought a little bit, and have all experienced our excitement build with every day that passes. You two have become my rocks, the people I turn to for everything, and now you are at home hours from me. Who else understands my weird sense of humor? Who else would threaten the Beta’s that currently live in our apartment with me? Who else understands what a big decision my K-cups are? The three of us are like three peas in the nicest pod of an apartment ever, but unfortunately we still can’t be that quite yet. We have a few more months to wait.

While we are at home, alone, waiting, I have realized just how much you two mean to me. You two are so much more than my froomies, you are the only people I can be honest with about exactly how I feel about furniture, decor, and everything else in our lives. You two get the good and the bad of being neighbors with our favorite fraternity house like no one else. You know by just a look when I’m having a horrible day, when I am absolutely happy, and every other emotion. I am so happy that in three short months the three of us will be living together, but until then, I will just be sitting here in St. Louis planning every little detail of our apartment and missing you two!

No matter what happens in our apartment, I am so happy to know that we will be okay. We may (will) fight a little bit about how to set things up, what all we need, and whose furniture goes where, but no matter what we will make it through. We will ALWAYS be friends first roomies second. Froomies is more than just a misunderstood word to us, it is the truth! I know that The Babe Cave will be the absolute best apartment in Kirksville because it will be us three! What could be better than that? We will have the best two years of our lives in 910, that's for sure, now we just have to hurry up and wait to get there August 1st.

Three months is officially too long to wait, however, we will make it and soon enough we will be back in KVegas having the time of our lives watching movies, eating popcorn, and drinking pink wine every night. I love you both so much, miss you terribly, will continue to send you EXTREMELY ugly snapchats, and can’t wait three months to start the best time of our lives!

Love Always,

Kel

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"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."

Christmas tree
Librarian Lavender

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.
