You’ll find an anxious soulmate | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Find yourself a woman that treats you like the best person on the planet. Find the woman that will call out from work and come take care of you because you can't. Find the woman who has the same amount of anxiety as you. Find yourself the woman who will hide under the blanket because she's anxious. Find yourself the woman who will let you wear her pants because they are comfortable.

Yes I may sound like a woman who conforms to my boyfriends wishes, but I can tell you I'm the furthest from that woman. My boyfriend is a very very anxious man. He will try to hide it until he puts himself in to a point of crisis, and yes, I will call out from work to take care of him. I will call out because he needs to get out of his dorm, eat chicken nuggets, drink Starbucks, go for walks, and pet sting rays. If he doesn't, he will be hysterically crying, sad, and maybe drowning himself in bags of Doritos.

So ladies, do not be afraid to spoil your man. He needs it just as much as you. Yes, I used my sick time to take care of my boyfriend. But during that time, I made sure he was safe, he ate, he drank, and he did things he enjoyed. I learned a lot about patience, and a lot about our relationship during that time. I learned that it's okay to cry because someone else is crying. I learned that even if I think I'm being patient, I may need to try a little harder, even if it means I'm repeating myself hundreds of times.

To the man with anxiety, there is a lady just as anxious as you who will spend her time taking care of you, who will make sure you are safe, fed, clean, and comfortable. It takes time to find her, but once you do, you'll feel a million times better.

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."

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.
