I was born a millennial. I am a 90's baby. However, I have an old soul. I am an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

I am the type of person that would much rather talk on the phone than text. As much as I love my phone I hate having to be tied to it. Sorry that I didn’t respond to your text, I set my phone down for one minute. Not to mention I like to have peoples’ attention. I hate it when I am talking to someone and they are too busy looking at their phone. I mean I have definitely done it before and I hate myself for it. I love keeping up with my correspondence via the actual post office. There is just something so fun about write and receiving actual letters. It is a dying art form but I am keeping it alive.

While all my friends are partying it up late at night or pulling all-nighters to study, I am over in here in bed by 9 p.m. I am all about getting good sleep and won’t compromise many things for it. My friends know that I am a peace out early kind of girl because I get really cranky if I don’t sleep.

I feel like the crabby old lady that lives down the street that yells at the kids to get off her lawn and stop messing with her rose bushes. Literally, why are people so intrusive and annoying? Get off my property and leave me alone. I don’t want to socialize with you, I want to sleep. Thanks.

I am a little bit against the “athleisure” movement. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love my yoga pants just as much as the next person, but there is a time and a place and I think as a generation we are pushing that limit a little bit. There is no shame in owning and wearing a pantsuit.

I clean like it is going out of style. I like to keep things clean, the kitchen, the dishes out of the sink, I sweep and vacuum regularly, organize and clean my room, do laundry on the regularly, not to mention make sure things are put away and organized all across the house. My roommates keep the bathrooms clean but I do a lot of tidying up of the main rooms.

I also tend to craft like an older lady. Make cards, paint, knit, I am basically someone’s grandma, someone’s creepy grandma that makes tacky handmade gifts. I am all about that. I have a hard time buying things sometimes because I feel like I can make it myself for cheaper. I feel dumb spending money on things I could make myself.

I am a millennial and I like being that way. I am a mover and shaker. However, I am also an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

"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."

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.
