Of all the things you've ever said or heard, most likely half of them are not even memorable. However, everyone has at least one phrase that has been said to them, that to this day has been repeated in their mind over and over. The person who said it may not have thought it was hurtful or significant at the time, and they may not even recall the conversation. But just a few simple words can cut deep scars and effect a person for years to come.

"You don't deserve to live"

"No one could ever love you"

"Don't come crawling back to me when you're fat"

"You'll never make anything of yourself"

"You're the reason your mom and I's relationship is failing"

"You're not important to me and probably never will be"

"You make me feel dirty tbh, you're one of the weakest people I've ever met"

"D*** b****, your teeth are f***** up" ~Before braces in 7th grade

"Okay, pizza face"

"Are you stupid? How come you can't remember something so simple?"

"You have diarrhea running down your leg. Get out of my store!"

"They called me a broke ghetto n*****"

"Someone said I looked like Katniss Everdeen and a kid on my bus turned around and said 'Yeah, Fatniss Everdeen'".

"You're a little b**** just like your mother" ~My dad

"This is why your girlfriend cheated on you"

"My teacher in high school told me I would never find anybody to love me and would never get married. I think about it everyday and it affects a lot of things I do"

"That my legs look like tree trunks. (Pretty funny in retrospect but it ruined my middle school self esteem)" 

"Why are you... here?" 

"Get some self control"

"You are pretty now, but you would look even prettier if you lost weight"

"You're toxic and don't deserve the friends you have"

"Do you know how stupid you actually are?"

"You're annoying when you're drunk"

"Someone once told me my Dad died so he wouldn't have to be around me anymore" 

"I do not want you in my life" 

"You're such a disappointment to your dad" 

"That I didn't care about them"

"When a friend told me that it made my parents seen uneducated when they spoke spanish"

"You'd be really pretty if you just did something about your face"

Obviously, there are subjects that can trigger negative emotions in different people. There are a few topics that we know we should avoid. But sometimes the words just seem to slip out when we're angry, hurt, or being ignorant. And they end up causing a greater impact than expected on the person they were directed at. And the people on the receiving end might never admit how much this upset them, keeping it bottled up and eating away at them for the rest of their life. So do what you will with this information, and speak up to someone when they say something hurtful to 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.
