We must appreciate throwbacks when the sun is out.

After this dreadful "spring", it's time to roll your windows down & turn your volume up in your car. Therefore I'm going to do you a favor and give you ten songs that always have & always will be bangers.

Disclaimer - There will be no J. Cole...at all.

1. Chance the Rapper - Good Ass Intro

A song I am willing to petition to be played throughout downtown Chicago on Saturdays mornings. When Chance says, "And we back, and we back" I feel that on a personal level. It's time to get back to your drunk alter ego & your non-remorseful degeneracy.

2. Bruno Mars (ft. Gucci Mane) - That's What I Like

This is the perfect song to play for that special guy or girl when they get in your car for that first summer ice cream date just for appreciation purposes. It's not strawberry champagne, but I'm sure she'll appreciate the strawberry milkshake from Andy's! Also, with Gucci Mane featuring it's the added "Brr!" needed on a hot, summer date.

3. Rihanna (ft. Drake) - Work

I know you don't need another reminder that you actually have to get up off your ass this summer and work but Rihanna's voice should be enough motivation to at least start the day. Honestly, I would recommend listening to this song in the mirror so you can attempt to bring out your inner Aubrey Graham and reassure yourself.

4. Frank Ocean - Sweet Life

Just read the title, play the song & tell me you don't want to live life just as freely as Frank. While the lyrics' meaning are a mystery, the beat in the song is so melodic it brings the purity to your summer debauchery.

5. R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix)

I will no longer tolerate anyone who disrespects this song when it's played at any function. If you don't immediately start singing along when he says "This the remix to Ignition, hot and fresh out the kitchen", you're either too busy chasing a drink or have terrible music taste.

6. Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber - I'm The One

While may Bieber Fever never lasted long, my appreciation for Quavo's ad-libs will never cease.

7. The Notorious B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems

The chorus of this song is Top 10 of all time. After listening to the song 4 times in a row, you'll find it very hard to resist screaming "THE MORE MONEY WE COME ACROSS, THE MORE PROBLEMS WE SEEEEEEE!" Even if your bank account says you already have enough problems as it is.

8. Lil Yachty - Priorities

Lil Boat had some bad news for you, me & all of our friends last summer and we're bringing his prophecy to summer 2k18:

Our priorities are ______ ___

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.
