Open Letter To A Spoiled Brat

Spoiled Brats seem to make up a majority of the younger students today.

Open Letter To A Spoiled Brat

Spoiled Brat,

Why are you so entitled? Through the lenses you choose to dawn, it appears as though the world and those living in it owe you anything and everything. Whenever a decision is made, it is always your opinion that decides what happens, even if the majority is not in your favor. When the simplest thing upsets you, people are made to bend over backwards just to make you happy. You seem to think that the world revolves around you and refuse to operate within its confines. This really needs to stop.

The world is a complicated and often reveals itself to be an unfair place. It does not revolve around you, nor will it ever. This is a lesson that should really be learned now, before you are thrust out on your own, and Mommy and Daddy are no longer there to cater to your every whim. Expecting everyone to bend to your mulish expression and faux pout is just shear stupidity. There are those who may fold like wet cardboard caught up in gale force winds, but the majority of the population will send you a well placed condescending look and tell you to grow up.

Nothing should be handed to you. The calloused hands of your peers will tell a story of earning what they want. While you sit with arms crossed and a demanding countenance, others are busy working to get to where they want to be. You have no right to expect things handed to you on a silver platter. It's time that this simple fact of life clawed its way through your thick skull.

Good luck with all that do,

A Concerned Citizen

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.

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."
