To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

You're pretty cool, I guess.

To My Older Brother, My Favorite Peasant

Dear Big Brother,

You are the biggest peasant I've ever had to deal with in my whole entire life. But you're my peasant and I wouldn't trade you for anyone in the world – I guess. We may not have always been the best of friends, but now that we're older, I'm glad you have realized how cool and awesome your little sister is. I know you enjoy having me in your life not only as a sister but also as a friend. Growing up with you may not have been the easiest, but it sure has taught me some lessons.

Thanks for practicing all of those wrestling moves on me. You know, like the choke slam, or that elbow thing. I'm not even going to talk about how you made up your own move trying to absorb me. But as a result of that, I'm pretty tough now. If any boy ever tries to but his hands on me, I don't think he'll be prepared for what I'm going to do to him. I guess I have you to thank for that.

Thanks for never letting me win in any video games we played. Even if I begged, pleaded, you still didn't let me win. Remember that one time when you wanted to show how much better you were than me in Super Smash Bros Melee that you left the room with the wireless control and you were still somehow able to beat me? Good times....for you. But if I'm being honest, you are the best and by playing the best and constantly losing, you eventually get better. So I guess I got better (years later) because I can beat you in smash now – in yo face. While we're on the topic of games, though, thanks for letting me copy you and play all the games you played (but if I remember correctly you hated that I copied you so much). But since I did copy you so much I was able to know about games like Smash, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Donkey Kong countries 1-3 for SNES. Who would've known that the friends I've made in college play or like most of those games too. I actually became friends with them by playing Super Smash Brothers.

And then there were my guinea pigs. Thanks for....well yeah there's no lesson to be learned from that story moving on.....

Not only have I learned a lot from you big peasant brother, but we've also had a lot of fun times together. Like Christmas shopping together every year (even though we always ended up fighting). Or all of our car rides together aka Z time, my favorite time. But then there was that one car ride we had together that I'm pretty sure you and I are never going to forget. Good times. We also go to movies and dinner together. Or to amusement parks and ride all of the rollercoasters. We watch old episodes of Spongebob together and laugh at the same parts every time. I wonder where our relationship would be without Spongebob honestly....

I can't say that we've gone to concerts together because you're a peasant and didn't want to go to the Drake and Future concert with me....but who needs to see them when I have an older brother who can spit rhymes just as good (did I say that right? Let's pretend I did).

So I guess what I am trying to say, is that you're a pretty awesome, and I am lucky to have you as a big brother. I love you.

"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.
