When you hear the words "High school" or "College" your first thought probably isn't the weird stories that people bring home from those locations, are they? Well, here are a few stories that just might change your mind about this.

1. Possibly purple people.

"In high school a friend ran around in a purple morph suit for some day. I forgot why" - Dominic C., College/University

2. Fruity trees.

""A tree where people put bananas and sometimes apples and they just rot and become black and no one does anything about it" - Anonymous, College/University

"We have a 'banana' tree. Its a medium sized tree people put bananas in, and leave them there until they rot away. I also saw a apple in it once" - Anonymous, College/University

"Half eaten fruits being put in a tree" - Anonymous, College/University

(Seriously, where are these people going to school and where are they finding enough fruit to do this?)

3. Orbeez flying.

"The weirdest thing that I have seen on campus would be students throwing orbeez at each other." - Anonymous, College/University

4. And a T-Pose in a pear tree.

"The entire middle school choir t-posed during a song" - Anonymous, High school

5. Gorillas ARE dangerous.

"A man in a gorilla suit chasing people (yes, really)." - RetiredOrphan, High school

6. Socks - but only one.

"Socks. Just one of a pair. Everywhere." - Kait, College/University

7. Sometimes you just need some cuddles.

"People cuddling on the grass outside a dorm." - Anonymous, College/University

8. Are ghosts........REAL????

"Halloween I saw the ghost of Theta Chi walking around campus" - Anonymous, College/University

9. Now I'm curious, how DO you get a goose's attention?

"There were three guys. Two were video taping, and the other was kneeling in front of the pond (between the Studebakers and Noyer). In a (fake) New York accent, he said "Alright young bucks, now that you're ready to go out there and do God's work, ya gotta learn how to get a goose's attention"" - Hannah S, College/University

10. Pumpkin Head.

"lol bro wearing a pumpkin on his head" - Anonymous, College/University

11. Under-WHERE?

"I once found a stray pair of underwear underneath the sinks in the dorm bathrooms. Not sure how they got there, though...." - Anonymous, College/University

12. Toothbrush flush.

"There was a foldable, travel toothbrush flushed down one of the toilets in the dorm bathrooms. I don't want to know what kind of day that girl was having." - Kat C., College/University

13. Sink urination?

Anonymous

"Okay so a couple weird college update things. Last night, I found a pad stuck to the ground out side of some guys room. Today, my friend at NIU sent me a Snapchat that was a video of a sticky note on her door saying "do NOT urinate in the sink". Idk. College, man." - Anonymous, College/University

Is this a sign that we need to stop being kids and grow up, or is this just a sign that we need to start remembering the funny things that we see in order to write stories about them? The world may honestly never know.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank 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.
