An Open Letter To The Person I Miss Most

We all have that one person we would do anything to bring back.

An Open Letter To The Person I Miss Most

To the person I miss most,

Every second, every minute, every hour, of every single day, I miss you. Something I'm doing, a conversation I'm having, an image that crosses my mind, everything reminds me of you. Some days are easier than others to not have you around. Some days I just want to crawl into a ball and cry. Just one more phone call, one more hug, one more "see ya later" is all I really need.

I miss your voice. I miss your questions. I miss your laugh. I miss your contagious smile. I miss your hugs and just being close to you. I miss your warmth. I miss having someone to make everything okay no matter where I was at and what was going on. I miss your jokes. I miss your endless stories about any situation. I miss your never ending life advice. I miss having you as my shoulder to lean on. I miss your massive, caring, loving heart. I miss you.

At first, things were OK. It hadn't really hit that you were gone. It hadn't really hit I wouldn't be able to drive to your house just to talk and walk around. It hadn't hit that Sunday dinners would have one less place setting. It hadn't hit that my baby cousins would never know your face. It hadn't really hit that pictures and memories were all that I had left. It hadn't hit that the last goodbye was really the last one. It hadn't hit that you were really gone.

And then it did, and when it came, it hit me like a rock. A piece of my life, my heart, my soul, a piece of me was buried in the ground the day you left this earth. My best friend, my person, my favorite person in the whole world gone, just like that. Never coming back.

If I had one wish to do anything, it would be to be able to make that trip to heaven to see you just one more time. I'd bring our family and everyone who loved you, just to see you smile, just to hear your laugh, just to know that we would all see you again someday and that then everything would be okay for just a little while longer.

I miss you more and more every day and I love you with all my heart. My biggest goal is to make you proud. You're still my biggest inspiration and I know you're still my biggest supporter. I will never be able to repay you for all the things you did to make everyday just a little bit easier. I hope everything is going well and just know that everyone down here misses and loves you more every single day that you are gone.

Love,

The girl that misses you more than anything

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.

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."
