after the rain comes the RAINBOW

Dear You,

You played me, you manipulated me, and you gave me a false sense of hope. You made me believe that you loved me and that you wanted to be with me always. You made me believe that we were forever. But, those, those were all lies. They were all lies for you to get inside my head and heart, all lies to help you get what you wanted, to help you make the past jealous. These were all things that, for so long, I was upset and angry with you for. But now, looking back, I couldn't be anymore grateful.

I'm so beyond grateful for all of those things plus more. I'm so grateful that you broke me, because in that brokenness I found my true self. I found the woman I was intended to be, the woman that God had planned for me to become. I grew in my relationship with Christ more in that brokenness than ever before and I have nothing but your ugliness to thank for that. I'm thankful for you treating me so terribly so that I could realize just how much I truly deserve! I knew God had always promised me someone amazing and your hurting me showed me just how much I actually deserved that amazing person.

I'm thankful for the fact that I now have the man God made for me and I am able to enjoy the little things about him that make him PERFECT for me. I'm thankful that because of the bad treatment i received from you I am now able to truly appreciate his sweet actions and kind words that he speaks to me. All the hurt and pain you caused, the aches that I thought I would or could never get over, all of this gave me the ability to be the perfect woman for him!

So thank you, thank you to the one who broke me for the last time. Thanks to you I am now able to appreciate the GREATEST blessing that God has given me so far. You made me able to most importantly love the one created for me without fault!


Thanks So Much,

The Girl Who Gained More From The Pain You Caused.

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.
