As this year has come to an end, I like to remember the f**kery that happened in 2015. Now, boys and girls...and people that read this, I'm not talking about only the bad, but the good too. Why not, right?

Where the F do I start? How about the start of 2015? I would like to say I started 2015 a little bumpy. I just decided to sleep around. Why? Because it's fun and I'm an adult. But then I realized that it wasn't a good way to take care of the left over baggage I brought in from the previous years. I also moved to New York on a limb and got involved with a much older guy. Hence, the death to a great legacy of the Black Widow (if yah catch my drift). Anyways, the year was already going too fast. I had blue hair, I turned 21, and went into a deep depression. I was still in school full time and had no way of knowing how to cope with stress.

I felt like I was suffocating. I got a job managing a cafe in Brooklyn and started to make some sort of move into a more positive direction, but I wasn't happy. I wanted more. I wanted to have my big girl job like I once had. I wanted to go back to LA. I wanted an adventure. I wanted to break the rules. I wanted him. I wanted to spend without thinking. The Black Widow was on the rise.

After numerous nights of drinking, smoking, partying, and was just going through "that phase" as we like to put it in 2015, I learned that the only way to get help is to help yourself. Is what you're doing right now what you really want out of life?

I made a change. I fought for what I wanted. I worked to hard to fall back into the rabbit hole I once dug myself into. It was time to get rid of the flat line of misfortunes and start living my life.

It's January 17, 2016 - into the new, I have a big girl job, a boyfriend, live in the city and everything seems to be moving. But that's just it; there is so much going on that I miss the simplicity. The bottom line: just as this article is everywhere, so was I. I was a bunch of different stories and situations. You have to appreciate the simple things in order to have them. Where I'm at is comfortable, but I have to keep moving. It's when we're comfortable that we begin to drift.

It's okay to never know, but just keep walking the line until you do know. It's always experiencing with what's happening right now. It's 2016, F**K "new year, new me" bulls**t and start thinking about where you want to be. Everyone is going to judge, but happiness is so much important that thoughts of sheep.

Reach for the damn moon.

Buffy Summers once said, "The hardest thing in this World is to live in it. Be brave. Live."

I love all of you and I'm here for you. Just don't call me at 3 a.m. - I'm sleping and will be super mad.,

Yours,

K

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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."
