True Confessions Of A Girly Tomboy

Why not be the best of both worlds?

True Confessions Of A Girly Tomboy
The Styling Dutchman |Mullet Skirt

I have always had friends and family comment on how I act like "such a girl" or "such a boy." I feel that there is no need for certain actions to classify me as either being a girly girl or a tomboy, but let myself be the best of both worlds. This belief is what labeled me as "girly tomboy." I have always been the type to "hang with the bros,"but also engage in and enjoy "girl talk."

I have always loved kicking back and being able to talk about topics of interest to one group that isn't of interest to another and all that is in between. I believe that this kind of personality has allowed me to keep an open mind and click with all types of crowds. Personally, I believe that life is more enjoyable when you have interests that range from outdoor activities, sports, superhero movies and food to fashion, cheesy movies, shopping, and gossip with friends. When talking with my close friends and family, I am either super cheesy and sappy or extremely sarcastic and playful.

I have also been told that I have a diverse fashion sense that fluctuates between a boyfriend jeans and over-sized t-shirt combo paired with vans or leggings and a sweater paired with ankle boots. Although what I wear depends on my mood, it also depends on my level of comfort desired. I have always been the type to dress for comfort first and style second while leaving the opinions of others third.

Being the way I am and having unique interests, style choices and friend groups that vary has helped me to not worry as much about everyone else's opinion and to focus on my own. Why limit yourself to just being one thing? Be everything that makes you happy and don't let anyone else confine your interests and actions into specific boxes.

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.
