Rainy Blues & Coffee Shop Grooves

How could you not love a cold, rainy day when you can sip a latte in a rad coffee shop?

I find peace on a chilly, rainy day-- when there is a storm brewing and you can see the ominous clouds rolling in. I want to see lightning illuminate the gray sky and hear the thunder and rain as it's hitting the roof. I want to lay in bed and fall asleep to the sound of rain come pouring down in the world around me.

My ideal day consists of cold, foggy, rainy weather. I love waking up to the sound of rain, looking outside my window and seeing the rain and clouds hanging low in the mountains. I love bundling up with sweaters, boots and scarves in preparation of the freezing weather that awaits me outside. I love spending my time with a hot latte in hand and seeing the rain fall through the cafe's windows. The relaxing coffee shop tunes are playing and there is no place that I'd rather be. Whether I am with friends, chatting about life, or alone, reading a good book, I am my happiest. These are lifes simple pleasures that bring me so much joy. I could spend hours upon hours in a coffee shop on a rainy day; mind you, I could probably spend hours there on any given day, but rainy days are my favorite.

I find peace in the rain. Rainy days bring so much sadness and gloomy moods to some humans, but I don't see how that's possible. The rain is so calming, it's washing away all of your troubles and you might even get to see a rainbow when the clouds have emptied. Next time it rains, try to embrace it and see the positivity it brings. So go sit in a coffee shop on a gray, rainy day, listen to the tunes and sip your latte and maybe you can find the peace in rain too.

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.
