You fall in love slowly, then all at once.

The purpose of being in a relationship is to marry and start a family and life with that person. But it seems like now-a-days everyone just dates to date and they don't really love the person that they're with. So being the nosy person that I am, I got curious and asked a bunch of people when they knew that they truly loved the person they're with. Some didn't have an answer, and realized they say "I love you", just to say it, which is a crappy thing to do, and only furthers my point that people date just to date. Yet some people had super sweet answers, so I'm sharing them.

1. "It was about a month into our relationship. I saw how much she really cared for me...it helped being friends beforehand since I already cared about her."

2. "It was the way he would treat me and his family. Also, the way he is passionate about the things he likes. He's a pain but at the end of the day, he's the one I want in my corner."

3. "When I first saw him. Seeing him in person, my heart did a little flutter and I knew he was the one. I've fallen in love with him in new ways everyday since."

4. "When he used his last $100 in his account to take me out to celebrate my acceptance to my major."

5. "The end of our first date. I didn't want him to leave and that was a feeling I've never had before."

6. "When he helped me get sober."

7. "When I felt comfortable talking about my awkward quirks with them."

8. "In the hallway in between classes in high school. He stopped me to ask about a Bruins game, and I just knew. I just had that feeling come over me and I could tell that he did too."

9. "When he accepted and love my daughter like she was his own."

10. "I think I'll fully know when I can trust them fully, romantically and sexually."

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

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 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.
