Big Brother 18

What I like and don't like about the summer so far.

It's that time of year again... summer! More importantly, a new season of "Big Brother" is on CBS! There have only been two episodes of Season 18 on, but this season is already the craziest I have seen in a while. As an avid fan of the show, there are many things that I love and a couple things (mostly people) that really grind my gears. This article is based on the things I love and hate from this season of "Big Brother"... so far.

First off, I want to start with the things that I don't particularly care for so far during this season.

1. Jozea... and Paul

There is always that one house guest that I cannot stand whatsoever. This season there happens to be two. Jozea and Paul came across to me as the contenders for the most arrogant house guests so far in this season and past seasons that I have followed closely. In the couple of days they have been in the house, they haven't been able to really prove that they are fierce contenders. Jozea calls himself the "Messiah" of the newbies... all because he said they should all stick together. He also says that he is good at a lot of things but almost had to play in the eviction competition... alongside Paul. I am very protective of Mama Day and Paul, and Mama D just don't seem to get along and he appeared to be very demanding during the competitions. Calm down Paul, you just started playing this game. Team "Big Sister" has a couple of "Big Jerks." Hopefully they leave the house soon so I can enjoy the season without them.

2. Teams...

I really don't like the idea of teams for "Big Brother." If I were to play the game, then I would want my fate in the game to rest solely in my hands. I couldn't imagine having to trust your potential $500,000 in the hands of a couple of complete strangers. You don't know the ability of the other players and you never know if their social game might have an effect on your social game. Overall, teams suck... a lot. Hopefully the team aspect of this season ends real soon.

3. The First Eviction

This season, the first eviction was a load of crap. Having the first eviction based on competition is stacking the odds against the house guest(s) that are not as good at the competitions as others. The team aspect plays a part in the first eviction because if there weren't some super strong guys/girls on the other teams, Glenn would not be going home because he just happened to be the weakest on the team. I don't feel he was the weakest in the house, which is what the first eviction suggested. The biggest thing is that Tiffany almost went home, and with an all-star sister like Vanessa, you can't go home first.

Now it's time for the things I like about the season so far.

1. The Returning House Guests

I love the fact that they brought back house guests to compete on the show. The four brought back (Nicole, James, Mama Day and Frank) are four of my favorite players to have played in the last few seasons. I was jumping for joy when I found out Nicole was back in the house because she is quite possibly one of or is my favorite house guest so far. I am so happy that she is the first head of household, even though I was hoping she wouldn't put Paulie up. They all played great games and I was happy to see that they get a second chance. I also love the fact that there is not one but two siblings of former house guests playing this summer. Paulie and Tiffany are related to Cody Calafiore and Vanessa. They both look like an identical copy of their sibling and I am living for it. I really hope they fully align with the vets and turn this game around.

2. New Season!

The thing that I am most happy about is that the summer just started and there is already so much going on in the house. I am already freaking out from anxiety that my house guests might get evicted and only two episodes have aired. I am already absorbed in the game and honestly all I can think about is what is going to happen next, and I love the fact that what I think will happen could be completely wrong. All in all, I am super excited to see what this summer has in store in the "Big Brother" house.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

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.

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."
