20. If Liberace had a baby with the drag queen Vivacious, this is what their child would dress like.

21. OKAY COLOR GUARD I SEE YOU WERKIN' IT BACK THERE.

22. Just Dance is an upbeat, era-defining jam about the therapeutic powers of good choreography and I'm loving it.

21. The blackout guitar solo/dance break/color guard moment was overwhelming in the best way possible.

22. Here comes the ballad, y'all.

23. JOANNE COME THRUUUUU!!!

33. This is pure 2009 Gaga goodness and I'm living for it.

33. Lady Gaga's style evolution makes Madonna look like a sad, sad clown baby if we're being honest.

34. This red, white, and blue mood lighting is the best thing to happen to America since Hamilton.

35. WALK WALK FASHION BABY WORK IT MOVE THAT B*TCH CRAZY.

36. She's ascending into the heavens to take her seat on the throne where she can look down upon the world and cure all pain/sadness/war/hunger.

37. There are literal flames behind her and she's still the most fire thing onstage.

38. Never again will we witness such a powerful, unified squad carrying their queen towards her dreams.

40. And just like that, she leaps into the darkness and disappears. Iconic.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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."
