An Open Letter to my New Love

I know it doesn't seem like we've been dating long enough for me to say this, but I am happy that I found you. As I sit in the passenger side while you're driving, I can't help but stare over at you and think "I'm one amazingly lucky girl." Isn't that new relationship feeling amazing? It's like you always want to talk to them and be with them and everything that they do is cute to you. That's what I'm feeling right now.

The scary part though in starting a new relationship is realizing that there is a 50/50 chance that it will either last forever or end at some point in time. Hopefully, you and I can make it. Let's be honest, you are just too handsome for words, inside and out. I feel so privileged to call you mine. You have opened a whole new world to my eyes. The kindness in your heart that you have for others and myself is intoxicating. You make it feel as if I have never experienced heartache in my life – that's the scary part. This love I have for you is growing more and more every day and here's why.

Before you, I had given up on finding a boyfriend, I was so over the whole dating scene. I was convinced that I would never find a guy who wanted more than just a physical relationship and begun to think I would never be more than just a "booty call". Then, you came along and changed everything.

Since we have been together, you have shown me that I was worth it. As our relationship grows, my friendship with you grows as well. I am undressing my heart to you and that is deeper than any lust I could ever imagine. I didn't know that doing simple things, like opening my car door was something that boyfriends did. I just thought movies over-portrayed that aspect. I'm terrified because you are slowly, but surely piecing my heart back together, and I'm okay with it. You have been so loving and caring to me, and you are showing me that you deserve my trust. All I've ever known is broken promises, so to start over again wasn't something I imagined I'd be doing, but here I am. You have shown me how I deserve to be treated. Everyone believes chivalry is dead. For a while, I believed it too. And then, you showed up. Chivalry is very much alive, and you are proof of it.

Thank you for showing me that I can be loved the right way. Until you came along, I tried to convince myself that I was happy with the wrong person. I tried to convince myself that I deserved less than what I was. For the first time, there isn't a day that goes by in which I doubt your feelings for me, or my feelings for you. I know what you have for me is real. For the first time, I found someone who wants me just as much as I want to be with them. You've brought me joy and I hope to give that back to you. I finally understand what people mean when they say, "your happiness makes me happy". Thank you for all the adventures and memories we've already made together. I already do and always will hold them close to my heart. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be a handful. There are times I feel like I'm being overly emotional and wonder why you still decide to stay and deal with me. Not only do you stay, but you reassure me that everything will be okay, and that I'm not as bad as I think I am and that means more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for letting me vent to you no matter what its about. Thank you for always being so optimistic about everything, it makes harder situations easier to go through. I absolutely love how laid back, relaxed and simple you are, it helps keep me calm when there's a storm in my mind. Thank you for putting up with my bouts of worry, for listening to my problems without judgement, for cheering me up when I'm sad, for understanding when I cry and comforting me, and for never leaving my side. We talk everything out, we understand and accept each other's differences, and I don't believe we could ever stay mad at each other for very long.

There are so many things I could thank you for, but I really want to thank you for being you. You're the most perfect boyfriend I could ever ask for, and I couldn't feel luckier to have you. Thank you for choosing me.

"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.
