An Open Letter To My Boyfriend As We Leave For College
Hannah Thebeau

Dear Boyfriend,

As we both get ready to go to separate colleges in a few short days, I just wanted to say how grateful I am for you. The past two years of lunch/dinner dates, movie nights, pool days, and so much more have been something that I have taken for granted because in a few days I can't have them anymore. I won't be able to text you and ask if you want to come over, or go get food when I'm bored or I miss you, and I don't know what I'm going to do.

Of course, I have my college friends, but sometimes you're the only one that I want to spend time with. As you like to say, you're an expert on me, and know me better than I know myself sometimes, and having you four hours away from me is going to be hard.

I want you to know that I am always rooting for you. I want you to miss me, but I also want you to have the best time your freshman year of college. Go to parties, hang out with someone from one of your classes, and study hard and do well in your classes. You're going to love college, and I know you are probably going to adjust way faster than I did, and I'm a little jealous of you for that.

I also can't wait to come visit you. The drive down may be long, but it will be so worth it to get to see your campus, meet your friends, and finally hang out with you again. I'm already planning road trips, so I'm sorry, but you'll be stuck with me some weekends.

Never forget that I'm always a FaceTime away. This kills me, but I don't know when the next time we see each other will be, so you better know that we'll be FaceTiming a lot. Of course we Snapchat each other all day every day, but being able to hear your voice, see your laugh, and talk to you without running out of space on my screen is almost as good as actually having you sit right in front of me.

And just as I'm supporting you, I always know that you're supporting me. My second year of college will not be as difficult as my first, but I know that whenever I stumble and fall, you are the first person to say, "What's wrong? Do you want to talk?" and the first person to give me advice and make me feel better.

I'm going to miss you so much more than I could ever put into words, but I know that you will do amazing. Don't forget about me. Just kidding, I know you won't because I won't let you.

I love you, and I miss you already,

Your Girlfriend

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
