11 Reminders For Anyone Having A Ruff Time Leaving Their Dog
Kayla Quinn

College season has started once again, and after a summer full of your dog, it's time to leave them behind for the semester. But, fear not! Here's 11 reminders you need to hear when you have to leave your dog behind:

1. Every time you leave your dog will be difficult

It doesn't matter if it's the first time or the dozenth time: having to leave your furry friend behind is never easy for either of you.

2. You have plenty of pictures 

As any dog owner knows, there are albums dedicated to your dog alone on your phone. Although the picture doesn't compare to the real thing, you can show off all you want to everyone. 2

3. Your dog is getting plenty of love

My mom likes to say that Zander is in fact HER dog, and not the family dog. I know he's getting as much love from her as he did from me over the summer, and that's a really comforting thought.

4. You are so lucky to have your dog, and vice versa

Kayla Quinn

Your bond with your dog won't go away with distance, I promise.

5. You aren't leaving forever 

You know you'll be back with your dog in no time at all.

6. FaceTime does exist

If you miss your dog, just call home and put the dog on. You know you want to.

7. Your dog still loves you 

Your dog is, if we're being honest, your number one fan. No ifs, ands, or buts.

8. You are most definitely on your dog's mind 

Your dog is thinking about you and missing you just as much as you're missing them.

9. Your dog believes in you 

Hey, if you're ever having a bad day, just remember your number one fan.

10. You have all school breaks with your dog

Kayla Quinn

Breaks will fly by, sure, but at least you get to spend them all with your dog!

11. Your dog will be waiting for you whenever you come back home

Kayla Quinn

It doesn't matter how long you're away, your dog will always be happy to welcome you home.

Goodbye's are never easy, but they aren't forever! Good luck this semester.

"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."

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.
