Of The Billions Of People

We are all different in many ways; unique species that can't be define.

Often my friends will come to me with broken hearts or mixed emotions and I can’t help but wish to have them understand that life can be so much better with so many more people who can benefit them. My advise for those of you who can’t understand why someone doesn't “choose you” or you don't understand “why must they treat me this way?” is nothing short from one in the same. This is the type of advice I grew up hearing from my mother and it is advice that every person should hear at some point in their life.

I will start with this: Of the billions of people on this earth only so many are worthy of your framework of mind. Only so many will see the sky as the same shade as blue as you. Only so many will understand your need to drive in a car and cry, as if to escape the problem and anxiety that sits in your stomach. We are unique and when we find someone we believe to see the sky as a bright turquoise blessing instead of an indigo mess we start to share that framework,

intentionally or not intentionally.

Through this you have given someone a chance to escape with you in those long car rides. It's life and it is beautiful but even messes are beautiful. You don't realize why it is that you find something so enchanting about a person more than just liking the same movies as them.

However, sometimes a people aren't becoming part of your framework, they are altering it by using your vulnerability. Your ambition to see the light in everyone will be taken advantage of, as most qualities of a human are.

Just remember that we accept the love that we think we deserve.

That goes for anything and anyone. You want to be happy and beautiful than make it so, that's your layout, your choice, your framework. If they choose to acknowledge it but not reciprocate it with the same amount of willingness to care for and be cared for than that is their framework. And you are going to try to change this. Why?

Just remember: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

Good news: As I said before, there are billions of people on this earth.

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."
