An Open Letter To My Bed

The thank you it deserves

An Open Letter To My Bed
Brielle Toff - Facebook

Hi... Do you miss me as much as I miss you?

I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me throughout these past nineteen years. When I’ve had a rough day, you’re there. On days when I feel like I have no one, you’re there. You’re there for me when it’s 2:30 in the morning and everyone else is asleep. When I want to snuggle up and watch some Netflix, you’re there for me. There hasn’t been a time in my life where you haven’t been there for me, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

When I’m in math class, and the material is the last thing on my mind, it’s because you’re the first thing on my mind. I know that when the hour and fifteen minutes is over and done with, you’d be there for me. I appreciate you immensely for that. It’s a really reassuring feeling to be able to know that when I’m done math class, AKA the most horrifying thing in my life at this moment, that you’d be there for me with open arms to comfort me.

As someone who has a very significant relationship with sleeping, you can be my best friend at some points in my young-adult life. Being 19-years-old, sleep is my solution to everything. I sleep when I’m sad, when I’m happy, when I’m stressed. I take at least a nap a day, and I sleep through the night. When I’m having issues while trying to adult, I think of you and the times we share together… When I’m sleeping and surrounded by you. I know that when the going gets tough, I can come back to you, my friend, my support system, my shoulder to cry on, to sleep it all off

Not only that, but you’ve also seen every possible side of me. You’ve seen my cry when I’m feeling lonely, you’ve seen me giddy when it’s 3:00am and I can’t bring myself to get off Buzzfeed, you’ve seen me angry when something bothers me and I come scream into my pillow. You’re always there to keep me warm, to keep me comfy when I’m feeling ill, and to stick by my side when I’m not in the mood to deal with anyone else. IN all honesty, you probably know me better than I know myself.

I wish there was a way for me to thank you personally… If only there was something I could give you to express my gratitude towards you. You mean the world to me, and honestly, I don’t think I’d be able to adult without the constant reminder I give myself that no matter what I can always come home to you. You’re my everything, I’ve always been about you, and I will always be about you. You mean the world to me, my precious bed, and I wouldn’t have made it this far without you. I’m so glad I have something like you in my life, something that makes getting out of bed every morning so hard.

Sincerely,

Your biggest fan

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."

As this semester wraps up, students can’t help but be stressed about finals. After all, our GPAs depends on these grades! What student isn’t worrying about their finals right now? It’s “goodbye social life, hello library” time from now until the end of finals week.

1. Finals are weeks away, I’m sure I’ll be ready for them when they come.

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.
