Senior Letters: Part 3
LaDonna Scott

Dear Maggie,

I first met you during 'Grease'. I honestly have no idea if you remember this, but we were waiting to audition, and I said I wanted Dunkin' Donuts so you offered to go with me. Being the scared baby freshman I was, I denied you request because I was afraid I wouldn't get back on time. Through the last three years, I have come to appreciate your talent and passion for human rights. I love the fact that we have connected so much this year, enough for you to go through your dorm plans with me. Thank you for the memories darling!

Dear Emma,

Firstly, you never cease to amaze me with the fact that you can play the piano backwards. You are an actual adventure fairy that can manage to climb trees in heels. I would like to thank you for being my friend during Grease and teaching me music that I missed, because I was definitely a soprano before my voice dropped. Thank you for being an elf with me my sophomore year and continuing to make me feel welcome in this program. I appreciate you with all my heart because your friendship is something I will never forget.

Dear Shelby,

I greatly appreciate the fact that Katelyn and you are able to talk to me about 'Teen Wolf'. I envy your outfits greatly because I am amazed as to how seamlessly put together they are. You also happen to be one of the kindest people that I know. I hope that your beautiful soul never changed because it is, by far, one of your best qualities that never fail to make me smile.

Dear Drew,

I met you my freshman year during 'Grease', just like everyone else in this post. I distinctly remember finding it incredibly interesting that you remembered so many digits of pi. You are so smart and incredibly caring. I have no idea what I would do if I couldn't hug you or rant to you about my day and everything that is happening in my life. Thank you for listening to me and tolerating my craziness. Thank you for being there whenever I need you and talking about politics with me at the most random times. I appreciate you accepting me for who I am, regardless how strange or random I can be. Thank you for being you.

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.
