5 Things Today's Girls Just Can't Live Without

Listed below are five things that to me personally, are crucial. As a female, the joys of life are honestly in the little things. Like a good hair-tie or a brand new makeup pallet. So technically, we aren't as hard to please as everyone assumes... just give us these five things and we'll probably be the happiest girls in the world.

(Maybe add some chocolate and a diamond ring to this and you'll be set, but these things are fine, too.)

Dry Shampoo

A girl's best friend. A saving grace. A true angel. Dry shampoo literally makes the world go-round. I have no idea where I'd be in my life without it. I think back to high school me who truly had no clue about the wonders of life, and I shed a couple of tears for her. Because it wasn't until college that I really even knew what this was. But once I discovered it's importance, it saved my life. She's there for me when I need her most, and she never lets me down. Talk about a girl's best friend. I mean, it really doesn't get any better than that.

Sunglasses

Not the best hair day? Throw on some sunglasses. Breaking out? Sunglasses. Puffy eyes from lack of sleep and crippling anxiety? Sunglasses. Too lazy to put on makeup? Sunglasses. Severe eye sensitivity to sunlight even though you're 21 and young? Sunglasses. Not wanting to deal with other people today? Sunglasses. Outfit cute, but not cute enough? Sunglasses. The list could go on and on. You get the idea.

Comfy Sweatshirt 

A comfy sweatshirt will literally change my entire mood. Like seriously, if I'm grumpy and pouting, throw me in a big comfy sweatshirt and I will be a different person. I can not describe to you the importance of having this. If you are constantly in a sour mood, this is most likely why. It is not only something life-changing but crucial.

Lipgloss/ chapstick 

I'm not sure why this is such a necessity to me, but most can agree with this: lipgloss is a game changer. Don't get me wrong, lipstick is nice, but cannot compare to the magic of having the perfect lipgloss.

Nails 

I feel naked without my nails done. It's horrible!!! Just tragic. I drop from a strong five to a weak two. It's the saddest thing in the world. Living paycheck to paycheck to get dedicate yourself to this lifestyle is not only hard but exhausting (all sympathy required please). But absolutely worth it.

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.
