5 Reasons People Who Hate The Beach Would Rather Stay Home During Spring Break

This may come as a shock, but there are some people out there.

Yes, shockingly there are people out there that don't like the beach. I know this may come as the biggest surprise you have heard since Angelina and Brad Pitt getting a divorce, but these people exist. As a fair skinned, redhead there are obvious signs why the beach and I have as I would like to call it a "Love/Hate Relationship". To my bronze goddess skinned friends, this opposition may be hard for you to wrap your head around. Here are some reasons why people don't LOVE the beach.

1. SUNBURNS


If you are the person that can't leave the house without SPF 75 you definitely feel a major connection with this reasoning. Yes, the beach is great at the moment, but when you're taking a bath in aloe that night your relationship with the beach maybe as Ross from Friends so eloquently puts it "ON A BREAK!'

2. Sand... Everywhere


The moment that your toes meet the white smooth sand, it is the next best thing to walking on a cloud. Yet at the end of a sunny day, you feel like you're covered from head to toe in sand. It's in your bags, shoes, car, ears, nails, mouth, etc. Sand can be found everywhere for what seems like weeks. The worst feeling is when a gust of wind comes blowing through and you get a whole mouth load filled with, you guessed it, SAND.

3. Seagulls


In the movie Finding Nemo, the legendary scene that we all couldn't get enough of as kids was the "mine, Mine, MINE" part where the flock of seagulls are all coming. The annoying creatures are swarming all around you at the beach. Their squawks at high-frequency pitches do not make the experience more worthwhile either. As the Seagulls fly around all you can do is pray that one of them doesn't decide to take a poop right above your head.

4. Salt Water


The Ocean is so beautiful to admire from afar and take in all the beauty it has to offer. Swimming in salt water is a different story within itself. When you swim in the ocean if you open your eyes underwater, they will burn from the salt. Then when you exit the salty water, your whole body is covered from head to toe in crimpy salt.

5. Sea Animals


Jellyfish, sharks, crabs, and seaweed all sea animals that many people have a legitimately large fear or disdain of. This can make the non-beach people steer farther away from the beach then they already try to do. It can cause them to not want to walk along the beach or get in the water. This causes the whole day at the beach to be a "bust."

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.
