A List Of Things I'll Never Do Again

A perm? Seriously?

A List Of Things I'll Never Do Again
YouTube

We're all humans, which means by definition, we all (and I mean ALL) make mistakes. We might think we're all that and a bag of chips, but when it comes down to it, we have a few things we would 100 percent positively absolutely never ever do again...under any circumstance. Here's a list of my previous (and slightly embarrassing) disasters that I'll never do again:

1. Get a perm

Let's leave this hairstyle where it belongs: in the 80's.

2. Shot race

Unless you're a fan of hugging the toilet all night (and the following morning), stick to mixed drinks.

3. Dip dye my hair with Kool-Aid

This was cool in middle school. I think.

4. Date a jerk


Roses are red. Violets are blue. You were a jerk and I hate you.

5. Eat a salad for dinner just because I didn't want to seem fat ordering a burger

Sometimes, on a rare occasion, I actually want a salad for dinner. But most of the time, I want a burger. A big juicy burger with fries on the side. And a milkshake. Treat yo self.

6. Listen to Skrillex.

"Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites"? My mom was right to be concerned.

7. BUY music

This is 2017. We don't BUY our music. The internet has us covered when it comes to sharing and downloading what we want to hear.

8. Neglect sunscreen just because I wanted to get a tan

In the olden days, being pale meant you were wealthy because it meant you weren't working outside all day long exposing yourself to the sun rays. Instead, you worked indoors while you were fed grapes and sat on a throne of gold. I'm going to pretend that's still what it means, so you can find me indoors eating grapes and watching Netflix.

9. Wear a matching jumpsuit out in public

Unless you're a Cheetah girl, you are absolutely banned from wearing matching sweatpants and sweatshirts out in public. This includes the Juicy Contour jumpsuit that everyone had in the early 2000's.

10. Watch "Ridiculousness"

The show itself isn't half bad. But, HER LAUGH. I can't handle it. It haunts me in my sleep.

11. Eat White Castle

Harold and Kumar themselves couldn't even persuade me to step foot in there.

12. Stick my nose in a Tiki torch

I'm not sure why I did it to begin with: I was young, curious, and apparently, stupid. My nose swelled up like a balloon after a wasp attacked me.

13. Bikram Yoga

Yoga is for certain people, you see. I am not one of those people. Nor will I ever be one of those people.

14. Shop at Aeropostale

There's a reason they declared bankruptcy.

15. Try to wax my own eyebrows

7th grade is a tough time for anyone; especially someone who accidentally shaved one of their eyebrows off.

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!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
