Sometimes It's The Hard Times That Show You Who Is Truly There For You

It is unfortunate, but it's always the hardest and toughest moments in our lives that show you who is truly there for you. Whether it's a death, a health crisis, or whatever the situation may be, those are the times where your loved ones and friends can and should be there for you. After all, part of your duty as a friend means to be caring.

It's during the worst storms of your life that you will get to see the true colors of the people who say they care for you. — Unknown

Especially with things being posted on social media these days, it's kind of hard to not know what is happening in someone's life, that's if they choose to post about it. If someone posts their situation on Facebook or Instagram, especially a story post, people are going to see it. We all know with social media that you can see who viewed your story.

So, it's really easy to know who just didn't even bother to reach out in your time of need if you posted about it. But we have to be grateful for the people who do reach out and show their support. They are the most important ones to keep around you. It amazes me when people you don't get to speak to often even reach out; that is always really heartwarming.

I recently went through a really tough time and so many people were there for me, even people I don't really see or speak to often, and that made me feel so loved. I'm so thankful to have amazing friends by my side and I'm so grateful for them all.

I know we all go through hardships in our lives, but just remember how you feel when you're going through it and how you want people to be there for you. The next time someone you know is going through something, reach out to them. Check on them. Show your support. They will appreciate it so much.

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.
