Dear Internet Friend,

When I first started my social media accounts I made them just for fun and didn’t really think anything about it at the time. Little did I know that by creating them that I would come across people who would change my life forever.

Thank you for coming into my life. I never imagined that I would find my true friends, but when I found you I finally did. You believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Out of the 7 billion people in the world I’m blessed to be able to call you my friend. I never knew what true friendship was until I "met" you. They say the internet is filled with only BAD people trying to harm you, but when I found you I knew that wasn’t the case. Meeting you happened as an accident, just us talking about our favorite artist which then blossomed into something so much more. Everyone said that you weren’t real and that I shouldn’t talk to you. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to them. I found someone who I could tell all my problems to and not be judged or be worried you would tell others because you just wanted to help me. I remember Facetiming you for two days straight almost and it’s just little things like that that I’ll never forget. From our inside jokes to just talking to you every day, I wouldn’t trade those things for anything.

My best memory was finally meeting you for the first time. Seeing you in person and finally being able to hug you meant so much to me. I know people may not understand it but that doesn’t matter. When you meet someone for the first time, your life changes. It was like my whole world was right in front of me, and I never wanted to leave you. We would always talk about it one day happening and then when it finally did it was amazing. You were there through my ups and downs, and for that I’m forever grateful. I couldn’t imagine not having you there for me. I just want you to know that no matter where life takes us you’ll always have a place in my heart. I can’t wait to continue to get older and go through even more of life together. I will always be there for you. Even if we don't talk for awhile I love how we can pick up were we left off. Because of this I know what we have is real and i'm so grateful for that. I just can’t thank you enough for caring about me and my life. You make me stronger and give me hope. You know every little thing about me, and I know just as much about you. You are not just an internet friend. You are a real friend. I love you more than words could express.

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.
