Don't just give up.

To That Couple That Feels Like It's Falling Apart
Breonnah Carden

Every relationship will go through their hard times, you just have to push to get through them. There will be times you want to give up, and maybe you do give up but know that it is not the solution.

You might think that running is easier than trying but it's not. You get so used to having that person in your life that when you do give up you crave their touch and affection. You might not realize right away that you still want them but it will come to you. So why run when you know you're going to end up right back at your starting point.

Fights are a normal part of a relationship. You might not fight for the first few months but you're just in the honeymoon phase. You both are new to the other and you are both overwhelmed with happiness. A few months pass and little things begin to annoy you. You start becoming aggravated more than usual. This is normal, do not think your relationship needs to be over just because you are arguing more. This too will pass. You learn all of the things that your significant other does and does not like, you can communicate better also. But that being said this does not mean you won't ever fight again because you will.

Your everyday stress adds stress to your relationship because you are on edge more and begin to take it out on them even if it has nothing to do with them. If your relationship is anything like mine then when you're good you're great but when you're bad it's like the world is coming to an end.

Relationships are hard to maintain, and they're scary. You give someone the power to completely destroy you and hope that they won't. Either you guys will break up, or you guys will get married only time will tell. Have confidence in your relationship. Do not sit there and constantly doubt it because this will only cause problems. Overthinking kills a relationship, it is normal to overthink but do not let it consume you. When you are fighting just think "we can get through this." Remember that there is a reason you've held on as long as you have.

It's OK to have different opinions on situations, you two aren't the same person.

You aren't perfect and neither are they, so do not expect a perfect relationship.

Keep fighting until you have no more fight left in you.

There are only one of them in the world, no one else will be just like them, so do not let your one go.

If you can't look at them and not want to wrap them in your arms and kiss them then you two can make it work.

Always remind them that you love them, some will doubt your love for them without a constant reminder.

Do not give them reasons to question you, trust is a big part of a relationship. Without it, there is no relationship.

Communicate, communicate, communicate. Tell them what is bothering you and talk about it until the problem is solved.

Things will get better, just keep pushing forward!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
