To The Boy Who Restored My Faith In Love

I gave up on love a long time ago, but when I found you, you made me believe in love again.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for making me believe in love again. It was not just the words you have said to me that made me believe again but the way your actions proved love to be true. For the longest time I never thought I would find the right one, but instead of dwelling on that I focused on bettering myself. As for you, you thought time would find me and you were right. Time found us. Even before we started dating you and I were constantly finding ways to spend time together even if it meant to spend it with other people too. Whenever you lost something, I was there to find it, every time you told a joke I was the one laughing. You never failed to put a smile on my face and you still don’t.

To this day I never thought someone could love me as much as I loved them, but you do. You always compliment me no matter how messy my hair is or how baggy my clothes are; you still think I’m beautiful. You have given me a stronger confidence in the way I perceive myself. You understand me when my words don’t come out right and you don’t make fun of me for it because you understand I just cannot say certain words. You are my shoulder to lean on when things are hitting the fan for me. When I cry you are always the one who comes running to wipe my tears away (literally). When we argue you never scream or yell at me but instead your first instinct is figure out how to fix the problem (sometimes I have to compromise because you are sometimes right). You never criticize me for being wrong, even when I have argued my point a million times. You believe that me being short is the cutest thing ever, even when I’m struggling to reach the top of the cabinet. You understand how particular I am of doing tasks a certain way. You understand me in many ways, from the way I speak to the why I act the way I do in situations. You understand that I am human and make mistakes but you still think I’m perfect; you find me flawless from the way I move to the way I look at you. Most importantly, you understand that my future is vital to me and you support what I want to do, no matter how many times I want to change it. You have made me believe that love is real and I thank you for that because now I’m not letting go of it. I love 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.
