I Refuse To Let A Boy Ruin My Friendship

Nice try, but you don't have her like I do.

I feel like us girl go through a lot when our friends get new boyfriends, we suffer through seeing them every day and having their undivided attention, to barely having their attention at all. Unfortunately, some even lose friends due to their boyfriends not liking their best friend, but these boys need to realize that just because they are dating our best friends doesn't mean we come last.

Best friends and boyfriends are on two different levels when it comes to this. The best friend is there to be a comfort and help to you when you need it, boyfriends do the same but in a different way than friends can. Boyfriends can give love and support but in a completely different way.

This also is the same for guys and their girlfriends, don't just drop you boys cause your girlfriend doesn't like them, calmly explain to her that they only want the best for you and that it isn't gonna change your relationship. Girls, if your guy has a serious conversation like that, take a step back and see where he's coming from and ask yourself if you've been hurt by a friend who ditched you for a guy.

Girls, don't ditch your friends for any man. Your girls are the only people who will tell you the truth if they think you are in harm's way, they will be able to detect a bad guy before you can, does this mean their instincts are always right? Of course not, but if she truly sees a change in the way your man acts, please take it seriously and try to notice the change yourself.

Not all guys are going to be bad for your friends though, sometimes you have to realize that, but if he is constantly trying to blame you for your friend contemplating the relationship, then you need to let your friend know so they don't assume that you two are fine. Also, sort out the situation like an ADULT. Nothing is worse than trying to sort out an argument with someone who acts like a child.

I love my friend's boyfriends but I don't like being hurt by them. So, if your boyfriend or girlfriend is hurting your friend, please have a talk with them on the subject and sort it out nicely. It will be better for all of you in the long run.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
