7 Annoying Things Every Friend Planner Deals With As Told By Michael Scott

Whether you want to admit it or not, every friend group exists because of one person - and that person is called a friend planner.

You know...the person who organizes when and where everyone will be getting together...the person always texting in the group chat about getting together. Without this angel sent from above, you would probably only hang out with the one other person you text on a regular basis.

And...

You probably would lose touch with literally everyone else in your contacts.

If you are the friend planner reading this...bravo! And if you are not, keep reading anyway. A friend planner is essential to your social life so, remember these seven things your friend planner may internally struggle with!

1. Deciding whether or not to send a mass group text.

This could could go one or two ways….

2. That sad feeling of rejection when no one responds to your text

It's fine, I didn't want to hang out with you anyway

3. When people won’t reply back yet whether they are joining or not (because they are waiting to hear who else is coming)

Seriously?? Aren't friends supposed to enjoy each other's company?

4. Complaining to the other (if there are any) planners in the group about everyone else complaining

Okay, I need somewhere to rant too okay? This is exhausting.

5. When you manage to successfully organize a get-together and everyone bails at the last minute

I am not crying. I got raindrops in my eyes.

6. Not having anything to do unless YOU initiate the planning

I didn't want to do anything anyway!

7. Making the brash decision to never plan anything again...but in the next week you are back at it because you feel like you have no friends.

Welp, looks like it's the circle of life.

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."

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.

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.
