Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore Art Thou Romeo?

Dear future husband...

Dear future husband (cue Megan Trainor song),

Hey. How are you? I really hope you're doing better than ever. I know I don't know who you are yet, but that definitely doesn't stop me from wondering who you are. It's probably weird how often I actually think about who you might be. My roommates even know if I could have one wish it would be to know who I am going to marry. Not even kidding. I'm curious as to what you're doing right now. Or where you might be. Are we even in the same state? The same side of the country, or the same side of the world? Can't you just reveal yourself already? I guess that would take the fun out of it.

If I was presented with a book that would tell me everything about the rest of my life, the only part I would want to know is who you are. Again yeah, I know that's kind of strange, but you're going to have to get used to strange.

Have we already crossed paths? Are you someone I've known for years, maybe even someone from high school? If I'm being honest, I sure hope not. Are we going to meet in college? Do I have to wait all the way until junior or senior year? I'm not even sure I can wait that long. I am by no means in a rush to get married anytime soon, but it would be a HUGE stress reliever to know that you do exist. That love does exist. That I won't be alone forever.

Maybe we will meet at a bar like my parents did. Or maybe we will meet in a class where we are forced into being partners for some stupid project. Maybe we won't even know how we met. We just randomly knew each other one day. Wait... are we even the same age right now?

I hope life is handing you everything you've ever wanted right now. If you're currently in a relationship, I hope she genuinely makes you happy. And you better be treating her right. She should know she isn't the one though. Sorry not sorry.

I can't wait until I wake up everyday next to the love of my life. I'm pretty sick of waking up alone, or sometimes maybe not with the person I want to be with. I hope you smile when you think of me and I actually really hope you can handle all I am going to throw at you. I have confidence you can. I pray that you are good with kids, but I have a feeling that you are probably better with them than I am.

Of course there are other things I lowkey (maybe highkey) picture about you. I wouldn't mind if you were tall, with pretty eyes, a perfect smile, and had 5 or 6 zeros attached. I most definitely would not mind if you were athletic and liked college basketball and baseball. But don't worry that's not a requirement. You'll just have to deal with it being on in our house.

So to my future husband, if you are reading this, XOXO.

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.
