You quickly became the sister I never had.

To my First Roommate,

I am and will forever be thankful for you. In just nine months, you became one of my closest friends. You have seen me at my best and my worst. So I thought I should thank you for everything you've done for me.

1. Thank you for putting up with my mess.

I know that I am not the cleanest person out there, but not one time did you complain when my clothes were all over the floor.

2. Thank you for sharing my love of all things Disney.

There is no one else that I would want to sing the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack at 11 p.m. with.

3. Thank you for listening to all of my daily/nightly rants.

I am not sure what I would have done if you hadn't been willing to listen to me rant about the various things that happened on a particular day, so an extra thank you for that!

4. Thank you for sharing your food with me.

You saved me many trips to the store and I am forever thankful for that!

5. Thank you for always wishing me good luck.

You never failed to wish my good luck on tests and interviews. I'm really going to miss those next year.

6. Thank you for sharing school supplies with me.

Just like the food, you saved my butt many times just by lending me a pencil. My grades are thankful for you.

7. Thank you for putting up all of my alarms.

Most people cannot stand how many alarms I set in the morning so thank you for not being like most.

8. Thank you for bringing me toilet paper when we ran out.

Countless times I ran out of toilet paper and you were always there to the rescue. You're like a real-life superhero!

9. Thank you for ugly crying with me while watching Nicholas Sparks movies.

We all need a friend who is willing to that with us. Now we know how many boxes of tissues we need.

10. Thank you for picking me up after I got a bad grade.

Those days meant more to me than you will ever know.

11. Thank you for not judging me for not doing my laundry every week.

Never did you make a nasty face when I said I wasn't doing laundry. You understood how obnoxious it was to walk down two flights of steps to actually do it and knew I was too lazy to do it most weeks.

12. Thank you for being my personal stylist.

You and I both know I know little about fashion. So thank you for putting up with the constant, "you sure this looks okay?" questions.

13. Thank you for letting me borrow clothes.

Again you were a superhero and lifesaver in that department too!

14. Most importantly, thank you for making the college transition so much better!

Without you, I don't know if I would have been able to get through this year. You have quickly become like the sister that I never had. I know there are so many things that I could thank you for and I'll just send you a text when I think of them! I can't wait to see where life takes us!

With Much Love,

Your First Roommate

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.
