No Matter The Distance, We Will Always Be The Same

Friends forever

No Matter The Distance, We Will Always Be The Same
Alexis Wheeler

There always comes a time in our lives where we all drift apart from those who mean the most to us. It’s not always the easiest thing to understand, but it happens. We all start to make less and less time for one another without even realizing it and that’s simply because we are growing up. People normally say you don’t stay friends with the same people you went to high school with; well they are wrong.

For me, it’s my 5 best friends. Things haven’t been the easiest for us and we don’t always get to see each other anymore. It is not any one of our faults, we all just have busy schedules. We don't necessarily give or make the time for one another anymore.

We are all beginning to graduate, get engaged, have babies, and are moving on with our lives. We will always have a bond that no one else can break, but it will just have to be from a distance. We will always have the greatest memories that no one but us will ever understand, and I love to look back on.

This isn’t me saying that we won’t be friends anymore. I am just reminding all of you that we will be best friends forever; no matter what. Even if we don’t see each other at all, I am eternally grateful for our friendship.

It has gotten me through everything and has made me who I am today. I love you all so much, and thank God above for giving me the most amazing, not 1 but 5, best friends in the whole world.

Best friends, they come and go, but you guys will always be here to stay. Growing apart is common, but we will make it through it.

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. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
