I actually hate you all.

A Thank You To The Roomies

Hey friends,

Thank you. Thank you for always being there for me.

I know that freshman year would have sucked without you to vent to. Whether it was about family, school or just life in general, you were always ready to listen and give me your best advice.

Thank you for never judging the insane amount of Netflix I watched.

When you got home you usually found me in bed Netflixing. Sometimes you judged me when I never left my bed on Saturday's, but I feel like that was righteous judgment. Often times, you were right there with me binge watching whatever show caught your attention that week.

Thank you for never judging me for making macaroni and cheese when I got stressed out.

I actually think you wanted me to stress just so I would make mac and cheese and we could have a party because there was entirely too much for us to eat by ourselves.

Thank you for letting me laugh at everything, even when it wasn't even that funny.

You always knew at least one person would laugh at your jokes, and I'm glad I could be that person. "Hey look, there's a trash can!" Need I say more?

Thank you for giving me the best nickname; I love being Mikurler.

I can't imagine anyone else coming up with Mikurler. I can't imagine you calling me by my real name. I will forever be Mikurler.

Thank you for giving me a reason to laugh during calculus; we all need something to smile about in math class.

I don't know how I would have survived calculus without our group text. I probably would have gotten less weird looks without it, but it was so worth it. Surah and I had to meet up in the library to discuss and laugh about it some more (I know the library is meant for studying, but it is also a great place to laugh and acquire more weird looks.)

Thank you for being my live in best friends.

This actually could have been a problem considering we never went and did anything because we all lived together. I think it worked out for the best; we really needed each other this past year. I'm glad we had each other through the laughs and the cries.

I can't imagine doing my freshman year at BYU without y'all by my side. We have all gone our separate ways for now, but I can't wait for the day we are all reunited.

Much love,

Mikurler

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.
