Grandparents are always fun to have in your life. This can be true whether they are your great grandparents or your grandparents. Growing up with such "great" great-parents around me, as made me into who I am today. Without them, I would not know half the stuff I do, or I probably would not have made it this far.

Grandparents are valuable to have because we all know you can go to them for everything. They spoil you way too much and would drop anything to be there for you. Your grandparents always will be one of your biggest supporters so do not take them for granted.

I grew up with many grandparents in my life. I have some more than others, but that did not change anything. I grew up with the best grandparents a girl could ever have. They spent endless days playing and doing whatever I wanted to do. I hardly ever heard the word no from them.

They taught me so many valuable lessons I could never forget. The endless memories with them I will always cherish. I grew up being my Pawpaw's favorite great-grandchild. Being the favorite was pretty great because I was always getting spoiled.

My great-grandparents were there for me countless times. They kept me when I was not old enough for school yet. We spent countless afternoons in the garden. They would teach me everything I need to know about growing vegetables. That was there thing hanging out at home and gardening.

My great-grandparents were family people. We have a huge family and every holiday my great grandparents made sure we gathered as a family during those important holidays. They loved being around family and spending time together. They loved every one of us. Pawpaw might have loved me a little more, but that's okay.

My great-grandparents also had a love for each other that everyone could see. They were married for many years. Them leaving this earth was so hard for everyone and still is today no matter how long it has been. They were the rock to this family. They made sure everyone was okay and well at all times. They were the most loving and welcoming people.

To know my great-grandparents was knowing someone real special because everyone that knew them loved them. I still to this day never stop thinking of them. I will always cherish our memories and forever love them.

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.
