I'm Turning 20 Tomorrow and It's Kind of Freaking Me Out

When I was younger I couldn't wait until it was June 14th as it would approach each year, because on that day I was born and I would throw a party with all my friends. I would write down all the gifts that I wanted on a list and give it to my mom. I would capitalize and emphasize the ones that I really wanted and would continuously bug my mom about it. I would always ask for a cookie cake because I was absolutely obssessed with Mrs. Field's cookie cake and would want it every year. Every birthday when I was younger I would want the best cake to have and also ate it with my friends. I truly miss the days that you would plan just about everything and pick out your cake and go out to dinner with all your friends and open all the presents they gave you.

To be completely honest, I miss being genuinely excited about it all and celebrating with my closest friends. I still get really excited about but not like I used too because it was extra special when you were younger. The older you get the less you care about it because you get busier and your age isn't always constantly on your mind. This year I am spending my 20th birthday working for my job and that tells you that you are bascially an adult and life is changing every second. Please keep in mind that this Itself isn't bad but you get busier you are, the older you get.

Overtime, my perspective has changed because I know it is hard to celebrate your birthday once you get older because of jobs or whatever you are doing at the moment. I wish that every year it could always be when you were young because you enjoyed it much more. Sometimes I also fid myself taking advantage of my birthday since you I am old and it is just another regular day in the life. Its kind of sad and I really do wish that I was young for the rest of my life. Another perspective I have is that my birthday is just another way of telling me that I am getting older which kind of freaks me out to be honest.

Especially from me currently because I am 19 today and will be twenty years old tommorrow so I am officially in the 20's. I am not a teenager anymore and it comes with a lot more responsibilities. I have two years left until being done with college and getting a job as well as finding my place in the real world. It's pretty exciting once you think about it a little more because you are starting your life and finding something interseting that you actually want to learn about. Instead of learning a subject that you have to take in college or high school that is required that you won't need for the rest of your life.

At the end of the day birthdays are a special time for you and I as for us all. It is one of the only days that you can celebrate yourself and get away with it. It's a celebration for you and making memories with all your friends and family. Its about you and just loving the day and everyone around you.

"Cakes are special. Every birthday. Eevery celebration ends with something sweet. A cake, and people It's all about the memories." Abishek Bachchan

"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.
