Chances

Love causes people to hurt each other more than intended which can be tragic.

Their love is the kind told in fairytales

The story that everyone looks forward to hearing

When she met him

When he met her

She was falling from grace

She was all over the place


He loved her spontaneity

Loved how crazy she was

She loved how he was always there

Loved how he felt like home

Cause she had nowhere else to go

She was broken, lost, and alone


It was crazy

Him and her

But they worked

They fit together

It didn't have to make sense

It wasn't about what others thought

Their love was special

It was untouchable

And yet, it was destined to fall apart


The relationship proved to be a challenge

It became more difficult to endure

He'd pulled away

She'd pulled back

The constant tug-of-war weighed him down

It became too much

That's when her chances started


She had one

One chance to make it right

One chance to fix everything she destroyed

One chance to proclaim her love

One chance to win him back

She blew it


She had two

Two chances to see him

Two chances to say sorry

Two chances to save him

She was too late


She had three

Three chances to get back on track

Three chances to refocus her motives

Three chances to forget it all

She took them


She wanted to forget

Why couldn't they see that

He was her ruin

Her pain

Her love

Yet, she would never speak his name in vain


But it was too hard

He kept giving her chances

She kept blowing them away

He was fed up; he'd had enough

But deep down she wanted him to stay


She had so many chances

Chances to make it right

Chances to get him to stay

If only she took those chances

Then he would be alive today


She knows he's in a better place

She's heard it all before

He was her rock

And one moment took that all away

And deep down she knew their love was no more


She still grieves

She still deals with the pain

But she knows he's up there looking after her

Making sure she's okay

Because without him

There would be no her today


Love is blind

Love is tragic

But people should know

Love is forgiving

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."

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.
