guys, you are enough no matter what

Men are losing their confidence in relationships...

confidence

Alright, guys, this one is for you. I have noticed that they have recently started becoming less confident in themselves, which affects their relationship confidence. The one thing I keep hearing guys say is "she doesn't seem like she likes me" or "I'm not good enough for her," and to that, I say no. You are all individually different for a reason, so embrace it. Women aren't the only people who deserve praise in this world.

After doing some deep thinking and physical interviews I have found that guys are way less confident than we think. Guys are weird creatures because they want to love, and want to give love but most are too intimidated by the relationship part. For some reason, guys seem to think that us women want John Cena as our husband...for some that may be true, but for most, it's far from the truth.

You men are perfectly imperfect. We want the nerdy, geeky, funny, quirky guys. If you ever start to doubt yourself then go to the bathroom, look in the mirror and you will feel a relief. Men are soft and squishy, they are like m&m's, they are sour sometimes.

Men honestly do not get enough credit, we expect the most out of them, but never follow up with them to see if maybe they needed help with something. We automatically assume guys should be able to do anything and I think that can put a strain on a relationship. Because, when I was dating this guy one time there was never really any time put into the relationship for about half a year. we weren't putting our all and I thought he could juggle his time, but he couldn't so the relationship ended because of my assumptions.

So, guys be confident and tell your girl the truth. Be confident in your looks. Be confident in your personality because I promise that's what girls love most! Because honestly, Enough is Enough with this internal war guys have with themselves.

Ladies, compliment a guy today and make him feel special because we are not the only people worthy of praise. Show them that your car, the guy does not always have to be the one to make all the first moves. Take a risk, because if you never try you'll never succeed.

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."

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.
