The Aunt That Every Girl Hates

Usually, people love it when their aunt comes to visit. She spoils you, you guys do cool things, and she brings you gifts. But every girl has that one aunt that comes around, and you just want to hide from her.

And that aunt is… Aunt Flo.

Every month, Aunt Flo comes to visit for about eight days.

Let’s start with the arrival of Aunt Flo…

When Aunt Flo arrives, either she comes unannounced, or you know she’s coming and you’re just anticipating her arrival, and not in a good way.

Once she gets there, she shows up loud and ready to stay for the whole week… and you’re dreading every minute of it.

First off, she wants you to go everywhere with you!

She wants to share the bed with you and not let you sleep at all.

That first night, and every night after, she’ll wake you up in the middle of night at least 10 times.

Aunt Flo loves food, and she’s going to make sure her love of everything she lays her eyes on is shared with you.

You normally get a five piece chicken nugget meal at Wendy’s, but as soon as Aunt Flo gets there, she has you buying a 10 piece nugget with a large fry and a diet coke… you don’t even like diet coke.

Aunt Flo is kind of like your grandma when you were younger; she always wanted you to take nap when you just wanted to go on about your day.

But Aunt Flo is a little different. She always wants you to take a nap. Even in the middle of working out.

Her presence makes you aggravated, and you might take it out on some people. Just say, “Sorry, Aunt Flo is in town." They’ll understand.

Aunt Flo loves chocolate, and now you do too. Simple as that.

She’ll make you cry for no reason at the most inconvenient times.

She just has that effect on people, especially you.

You know how aunties are known for pinching your cheeks when your little? Well, Aunt Flo is the aunt that has now graduated to this pinching and poking thing on your stomach… constantly.

Whatever you choose to wear, she’s going question every decision you make.

Aunt Flo gives you constant headaches.

Constant. Throbbing. Intense headaches. And sometimes, there’s not enough Midol in the world to shut her up!

Just when you think she’s packing up and leaving, she decides to stay one extra day… or two.

Depends on how she feels. You have no say, so.

Most likely, you won’t really miss Aunt Flo, but if there's any chance that you might miss her, don’t worry, she’ll be back next month.

No one likes Aunt Flo. You don’t, your friends don’t, but you all have get through that week long monthly visit.

Everyone has that aunt.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
