To My Roommate As We Pack Up For Summer

Thank you for making this semester one for the books.

To My Roommate As We Pack Up For Summer
Megan Sutton

Roomie,

First of all I want to start by saying THANK YOU. This has been one of the best semesters of my college career, and you had a huge role in helping me achieve that.

Thank you for accepting my wild and unorganized self into your life. I may not always have it together, but you see how hard I try to get it together, and you either tell me I’m doing a good job or say forget it because it’s a Wednesday (our fav day).

From trips to the gym to going out for margaritas every week, so many memories were made within our four walls. Our ridiculous one-liners have got to be our funniest thing though because we are in tears every single time. No one else understands, yet we are very likely to remember them forever.

I am thankful I have a friend like you who just gets me. You are fun, crazy, wild, and bubbly and I think that is why we get along so well. With the random dance moves we come up with to use the next time we go out to country karaoke to random car rides to the many many inside jokes we have, I will always remember this semester.

You are understanding, positive and always bring joy to the rooms you walk into. I am so lucky to have a friend like you. We may have only been roommates for a semester, but now we share a friendship that will last forever. This is why I am forever thankful.

Ultimately, we have God to thank because He knew exactly what He was doing when we became friends.

Thank you for making this semester one for the books. I look forward to the many memories to come this summer!

XOXO,

Your roommate

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.
