Dear Kylie Jenner,

You can have whatever your heart desires because of your family’s fame. You throw your money around at big things like fancy cars, vacations, expensive Cartier, big boobs, big butt, little waist, the big lips, the tanned skin, your own makeup line. Magazines say that you invented wigs. Big lips were trending everywhere. Your lips even had its own challenge where people tried to make their lips big like yours.

The same big lips that I was teased about when I was in the fifth grade, the lips that made me feel so insecure.

You are dating a black man, but honey can you love him the way that I can? You are not able to make him soul food, the kind that makes embrace his black pride. He is a king, you are trying to be queen but taking black culture will not make you one.

You, Kylie cannot just go around thinking that it is fine to take our culture and make it a “trend.”

Why is it that you can wear a bra in public and it’s called modern or chic but when I do it I am called ghetto or rachet? How can you sit back and take another person’s culture and not give a second thought about it? Your boyfriend was once with a strong, independent black woman. You took a king away from his queen and decided that you wanted him for himself.

Kylie, you want to be black without being black. Do you know what it’s like to be black and watch your culture and everything that you embrace about yourself become a trend? Trends fade, the African American culture will not become a trend for you to parade around whenever you feel like.

Kylie Jenner, take several seats and stop claiming our culture.

"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.
