For my favorite graduating senior.

An Open Letter To My Senior Best Friend
Victoria Cox

I know that February is the month where your senioritis is seriously setting in. I remember my senior rut and how awful it was (you saw it happening) but before you know it, you'll be on a plane to Disney for senior trip and not long after you're walking through your graduation. The school musical will be closing, and everything will slowly come to a close. Despite all of these, I am here and always will be. High school may not be there forever but the friends that you make there will always stick and I learned that from you.

Maybe this week in particular is kind of long, but before you know it, the high school experience will all be gone. Summer will pass and college will creep up meaning our long distance will grow as you choose your new school. I know you hate me for saying this but you're growing older, but always remember, I'm still going to be older than you will ever be. You've been there for me for when I moved to a new state while switching around my whole life and now I'm going to be there for you.

You are absolutely my person.

No matter what, you'll be my goofball who knows every small, creepy fact about me. From all of our inside jokes to our random trips with the spontaneous decisions, we have created so many great memories at the least expecting moments. The world doesn't change too much from a public high school, so learn all you can while you're still there. Not just in class, but from the people you're around every day.

Take in what the English teachers and the History teachers tell you because they're not always teaching you the subjects, they're teaching you how to survive college. You've come so far from when we first met, it's time for you to see the world in all its glory. While this is all just another milestone in life, I'm ready to be there with you through every step. Whether we're skipping, walking, or sprinting for our lives, we're in this trip together. Today, tomorrow and forever, you're my best friend.

And so, here's to you and here's to me. Summer 2016, get ready to take on two college girls ripping apart the beach and taking on the world together.

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"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.
