Please, Treat Her Better
Elite Daily

Can you do me just one favor? Don’t mess it up with her the way you did with me. She deserves all that you can give to her and probably more. She seems like a very sweet girl and I know you are capable of being a very sweet guy. Do it for her, because she deserves a good guy. Or do it for yourself, because you deserve to be happy. At the very least do it for me, so I know you really are the guy I always said you could be.

I am no longer bitter that I am not your girl. I am no longer jealous of her for having you. I am happy for you both, because you seem to make each other happy. However, you did hurt me and a multitude of girls before that. Let me be your last victim. You don’t have to continue this vicious cycle you have created for yourself! I know there are lots of pretty girls who catch your eye. I know you think it’s cool to stack your "number" sky high. But honestly, what’s the point? You’ve had your chance in the past and you blew it. Somehow you got lucky enough to get that chance again with someone new, so don’t screw it up.

I hope that you treat her better than you treated me. I hope that when you tell her how you feel you really mean it. I hope that you are proud to call her yours. I hope that you don’t keep her hidden in your bedroom. I hope that you follow through on all the plans you make. I hope that you never let her fall asleep wondering why she's not enough for you. I hope that you make her a priority, not just an option. I hope that you are careful with her heart, should she decide to give it to you. She deserves better from you than what you gave to me. But you also deserve better for yourself, whatever it was that I couldn’t do for you. She is yours now, and she loves to be yours. Do not take that lightly. Love her back.

If the time should come where you are not happy anymore than please, be more gentle with her heart than you were with mine. All any girl wants is a valid reason. Do not shut her out and ignore her texts. Do not move on to the next one while her scent is still fresh on your sheets. You owe her the answers to the questions she asks. If you do not want to be with her she will understand, just make sure she knows when you are through. Don’t ever let any girl in your future hang on the way I did.

You hurt me but I am better now, and I have learned something from it. I want you to have learned something from it too. In spite of it all, I would like to believe that I still know your heart and I know that you are better than how you treated me. Please make sure you show it.

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.
