When Will I Be Enough?

UGH

I can't help but think that I will never ever be able to find the one for me. I'm utterly convinced that I will never find a significant other and will die alone. And, I'm not okay with it as much as I was before. I just think that seeing everyone around me be so happy and content with life and here's me hating life and everything about it.

I just wish I could just look at myself in the mirror and accept myself for who I am and not sit there and resent myself. Like I always have been this way and I thought that maybe college would change me and I would start to love myself for me but instead it just got worse.

I thought that maybe joining a sorority would make me feel better because I would be surrounded by girls who love me a lot and I love them but instead being in a sorority has made it worse. My anxiety and depression seem to have gotten worse because of how much I've started to hate myself, my looks, my body, my personality? I just wish I had the balls to talk to a boy, I can never talk to a boy so how am I supposed to start a relationship with a boy? I just wish that I had the ability to be an attractive human being and be able to tempt a boy enough to make him come up to me and start talking to me. Or if I go up to them, they actually accept me for me and not back away, running and screaming.

The lack of confidence that I have stops me from loving myself and on top of that, I'm a coconut. The color of my skin is brown except on the inside, I'm white. I act like the people I surround myself in. I mean heck, I'm in a sorority. How does that happen? I never thought that I would ever be able to fit in a place like that. I mean in the end all you wanna do is to be able to get along with them, but I tend to get sorta jealous of them. All I want is to be like them, especially since all the boys come up to them and not me.

My friend told me that I need to make sure that I make the first move and not them because they like the girls who make the first move. I really hope that's the truth, because I'm about to do that tonight with my social. I wish I had more guts to actually talk to guys, all I need is confidence and not a drink.

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.

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.
