An open letter to my ex best friend

Let me start off by saying this, I do not hate you. In all honesty, I wish nothing but the best for you. It took me a long time to realize this, but the best thing for both of us may just be to not have each other. God puts everyone in our lives for a reason. The reasons may not be what we perceived them to be in the beginning, but maybe the reason was to teach us a lesson or to guide us down a new path. Do you remember when we would talk about our future lives? You told me what job you wanted, what kind of house you wanted, even what you wanted your kids to look and act like. I want that for you, in fact, I am rooting for you. I may not be rooting for you on the sidelines or the front row, but I'm way in the back somewhere cheering you on. I'm even going to be there when you are going through hardships, but rather you being in my arms crying while I hug you, you're going to be in my prayers. I want to thank you for everything that we have been through together, and teaching me life lessons you probably don't even know you taught me. So let's go back to what I said in the beginning, I said: "I do not hate you". I mean that. I may have hated what you did, hated what you said, and hated how it ended. But, I also loved what we had, loved things you said, and loved the memories we had together. Nobody can replace those, and I hope you can make new ones with your new best friend. So the next time you're in the car and you hear our song, smile and throw a car concert. Next time you see the boy I had a crush on, laugh and walk away thinking of how awkward I would have just acted. And next time you think of the horrible fight we got into, think about how we both forgave each other and that's all in our past now. So go on, and start applying for those jobs and keep planning your perfect life on Pinterest, because it's gonna happen. I mean come on, if anyone knows you, it's me and I know you can do this.

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.

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.

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."
