Graduates, it is almost that time. The time where you will be walking across the stage onto your next chapter of life. Everything is about to move quickly and time waits for no one.

I am a senior as well and I cannot believe that in some weeks, I'll be a part of the alumni for my school. I have just a few encouraging and motivational words for everyone who is graduating this spring.

YOU did it!

You completed a huge milestone in your life. You have worked hard to get to this point. Don't let anyone make you feel any other way than happy because you deserve it. There is a lot of things and experiences you have endured within the last four years of your life. No one can take away your journey nor memories because they are now something that is valued. Remember, this diploma has your name on it, not everyone else's.

Celebrate yourself & your friends.

Time is ticking, which means you need to get to celebrating. There are more memories to be made while you're still at school. Enjoy these last few weeks you have with your friends. Life is about to start for everyone, whether it's continuing an education or entering the work field. Everything is about to change so taking time to spend with your friends to celebrate the achievements you all have earned is important.

Believe in yourself!

This point is very important. Please believe in yourself! I understand you may be doubting yourself, but don't. You have made it this far and you didn't make it this far to just make it this far. You are strong and capable of accomplishing anything that you put your mind too. You are receiving a degree that you have worked hard for within these last four years. Don't let life scare you into believing you aren't prepared for the next chapter. You will be great in anything that you do, because it is you and you are it.

Never give up.

You have had many setbacks and obstacles come into your life within these last four years. There will be many more obstacles to come in your way, but you cannot give up. You have to continue to fight through anything that is in your path. Life will not always work according to your plan, which makes it so beautiful. Think about everything you have made it through, which is a lot of sh*t. Life is what you make it, so make yours how you want.

Life is full of fruits. Apples, oranges, grapes, watermelons, pineapples and more. Fruit rots after time, but that's just it, don't let your fruit rot. Be the best you that you can be.

Be the person that you've always wanted to be. Embrace the changes you are about to endure because how you react is how you will display yourself as a person. Life is full of adventures, lessons, laughs, and joy. Let it be this way as you are entering the next chapter of life.

Graduation is coming and so are you into this big world.

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.
