10 Things You Know To Be True If You Go To Bradley University
Bradley University

Bradley University is an incredibly unique school in the center of Illinois. Like most schools, Bradley has little things that make it unique. Here are ten things that define Bradley University.

1. Your professors know who you are.

Class size, on average, is 21 students. This means that, while skipping classes is not really an option, your professors are always willing to help you.

2. You get free things. All. The. Time.

Fridays you get free shirts if you're wearing Bradley gear. From the activities fair to the fit fair, there's always a way to get free stuff.

3. Squirrels can be the friendliest creatures alive.

The squirrels on Bradley's campus will come right up to you, but don't be fooled! They only want your food, or that paper you spent two weeks on.

4. Moe's is the place to be to get the best food on campus.

There is nothing better than a cup of queso from Moe's after a long day.

5. You can make it across campus in ten minutes.

You literally don't have to worry about being late to class because a sprint across campus takes about three minutes.

6. The library is the BEST place to study.

Or Westlake. During the day, Westlake's multiple nooks and crannies make it the best place to study. But at night, the library crammed with other students rushing to finish their homework is the place to be.

7. Bradley was founded by a woman.

Lydia Moss Bradley is one of the most badass people to ever live. Don't believe me? Look it up.

8. Greek life is super prominent.

33% of Bradley students are involved with Greek life, and there's always SOMETHING going on at Greek Row.

9. Bradley Hall is unbelievably confusing.

The numbers don't make very much sense and don't even get me started on the four flights of stairs.

10. The "Bradley Bubble" is a real thing.

Plenty of people go their whole semester without leaving campus. Everything you really need is either on campus or in campus town.

Bradley may not be a big school, but it's certainly one of the best. There's no other place I'd rather be.

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.
