The Friend Zone Is Better Than No Zone At All

"Yo, I love you like I love a puppy."

The Friend Zone Is Better Than No Zone At All

This one is for the homies who accept that they are just homies. Before I begin this let me just tell you all that a guy I personally friend-zoned told me to write about this topic.

What is the "friend-zone"? A place that boys or girls go when the person they are into, are just not into them, yet they want to stay friends. We all just want some friends, dude. Do girls even get friend-zoned? The answer is: most likely no. I mean yeah, sometimes a guy isn't feeling it with us, but then you usually just stop talking. Friend-zoning a guy, in my opinion, is basically just saying, "yo, I love you like I love a puppy. You're cute, cuddly and nice to talk to, but I'm not trying to hook up with a dog". Bad example? Probably.

I'm assuming that guys wonder why we friend-zone. I'm here to tell you all the truth. *This applies to both boys and girls, ya know.* Sometimes, we just aren't fully attracted to someone, but maybe he/she's personality is bomb as hell. Why would we want to completely cut someone off just because we don't want to hook up with someone? That logic just doesn't make sense to me and I'm sure many other people.

If you had a good friend for a super long time, and all of a sudden they decide to spill their hearts, guts, and feelings out about you- you're going to want to vomit if you don't feel the same way. We all hate hurting people's feelings, and of course, you don't want to ruin a nice long friendship. So, just like that, the friend-zone comes out. You politely put back this friend right back where they should always remain for now (maybe your feelings will change). I'm not trying to be mean, this is just the honest truth that no-one really wants to say.

If a guy can't accept the friend-zone, then he doesn't really deserve any zone. The fun-zone, the hungry-zone, love-zone, there's a whole lot of zones out there. Once a guy realizes he's in the "friend-zone", sometimes an automatic asshole personality emerges. Why? Because you weren't into him. Let's all take rejection like a champ and eat some ice cream if you are really that hurt.

I know the friend-zone is probably a rough time. Would you really rather lose a friend because they don't want to step the friendship up a notch? Most people I assume would say no. It's always nice to tell someone how you feel, I mean maybe he/she feels the same way and you end up getting married, having 4 little kid nuggets running around, and living in Canada. Who knows what could happen. Sometimes we just have to accept that the friend-zone is a real concept, and the love of your life is somewhere out there...but for the moment maybe your relationship is only with ice cream. If ice cream is your lover, then that's not such a bad way to live.

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.
