I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated

Freshman year ending is a lot sadder than I thought

I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated
Blakeley Addis

I do not think that I have ever not wanted to do something more, then leave home for college. Like yeah, I was excited, but the thought of growing up, moving, and leaving some people behind terrified me. But here I am, sitting alone in my empty dorm room, and I do not want to leave.

This tiny space I lived in for 9 months, has seen everything. This place feels like home now, and I am almost as sad to leave this place as I was sad to come to this place last summer.

The tiny twin bed has been one of my favorite spots, the shower I can barely move in was the only space I was really able to think, the desk that no matter how many times you cleaned it, it was always dusty, and the space in between our beds was the perfect spot for our nightly dance parties.

I am going to miss this place more than I thought I would and that surprises me, not that I would ever want to live here again. I think it is just a sentimental place because of all the firsts that happened here. More things happened here that help define who I am as a person than the house that I grew up in my entire life. The house I grew up in helped me become who I am today, but the dorm I have lived in has molded me into me.

Personally. I think everyone should have to experience living in a dorm. They really are not as bad as people make them out to be...besides the elevator being broken and running out of hot water(;

So thanks for all of the friends and amazing memories you have given me 602, you were a real one!!

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.
