I'm just trying to stay relevant.

The Secret Life of a Sorority Junior

Junior year is a sorority, and you're feeling washed up. It's almost inevitable at this point, and no matter how hard you try the feeling won't pass. All of a sudden all of these things are true.

1. Frat boys want all your new members

It's like you could be wearing that brand new bodysuit, but you even know it looks better on new member Rachel.

2. The songs that used to make you want to dance aren't relevant anymore.

What is this new rap? What happened to "Hotline Bling"? How do you dance to this?

3. You'd rather have a conversation with the older brothers, than try to play a game of pong anymore.

Seriously, where did my skills go? Ah whatever, I give up.

4. Speaking of which, you don't even know the newer pledge classes anymore?

Wait, you're a sophomore?

5. Everyone is dating littles, and you're trying to pretend like you're not going to be grandma this year.

Why doesn't anyone want to sister date me?

6. Hangovers start to be real.

I wasn't ready for this.

7. Hookup culture just stopped being appealing over night.

I don't know what happened, but the idea of that boy just isn't for me anymore.

8. The seniors are having the time of their lives, but you're not quite 21 yet.

Just two more months...

9. You have to plan ahead for themes because your wardrobe just doesn't support them like it used to.

Ugh why did I ever get rid of my overalls?

10. Chasers stop being an option.

Little, can you stop at the vending machine before you come over? I need a coke.

11. Your professors keep talking about your "future".

What's that?

12. Staying in sounds terrible, but parties just aren't the same.

When did all the fun get sucked out of me?

& while all of this is low key true, you would never admit it. So stop cleaning your combat boots every weekend, put on a cute shirt & some jeans, because we going out tonight.

"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."

Christmas tree

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.
