Why I Am Not A Party Animal
www.hercampus.com

When people hear that I am twenty they just assume I am going out partying with my friends on nights that I come home at one in the morning. The truth is the opposite, I would rather go to my friends house in pajamas and watch Disney movies until 1 am. I would rather sit around a campfire, making a life time of memories that I know I am going to cherish everyday.

I want to be able to remember what happened the night before. Why would I want to forget all the memories that I made? I'm tired of being judged for not being a party animal. If I want to go out until 1am with my friends I am going to do it, sober. When people ask me, "aren't you twenty shouldn't you be out partying or doing drugs?" I get annoyed.

Those are the most immature people that you will ever meet.

I am not sorry for wanting to do things sober. I don't regret saying no drugs and alcohol. The best times of my life are the times that I have had sober, and I do not regret it. People need to stop being persuaded by other people. You don't have to follow what everyone is doing.

You can be you. Being you is the best thing that you could do for yourself. If someone asks why you don't party your reply should be, "I'm just being me", and they should not question you any further. It's your life and you could do whatever you want with it.

Don't ever think that your'e not of the "norm" if you spend a night inside sleeping instead of out partying.

Don't think that you are missing out if you are only in your twenty's and people are out partying you still have your whole life ahead of you. Don't be afraid to just stay inside one night and relax I promise you the party you were mad about missing is going to seem so silly to you in just a few months.

My advice to you is just to have fun. You don't need to party to have fun all you need are pajamas and movies, take my word for it.

"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.
