To My Not So Little Sister...

You may be taller, but I will always be older.

To My Not So Little Sister...
Elizabeth Schorr

To my little sister,

You aren't even that little anymore, considering you are about to enter your senior year of high school, which just typing that sentence alone that blows my mind. Also, to be completely fair, I doubt you'll even read this because you are still in the phase where everything I do is so embarrassing to you, but secretly I know you love me! But realistically, you'll blame it on camp and being unplugged for 23 hours every day. You have become the best person in my life over the past few years, and I think its simply because you get me. You get my weird obsessions, my love of television (even though yours is WAY more), our love of all things camp, and the bond we will share for the rest of time.

You are so dedicated to becoming a better person every day which amazes me. You study your butt off every night after school so that you can get the best grade in every class. Even though you don't even need to try, you shock me when you come back and say you only got one question wrong on an AP English test that I barely passed in high school. You always try your best at soccer, a sport that you aren't going pro for, no offense, but that doesn't stop you from loving the sport on and off the field. You know everything about the USA Women's team, and could talk to Dad about the sport for hours, which I sit there and nod my head as if I know anything about it. You are so dedicated to beat Mom and I at the game of watching WAY to much television, and yo can basically check all of Netflix off your list. You know all the best movies to binge on a boring weekend at home, and could aslo probably list every single movie and show youv'e seen in your lifetime. That is probably the most impressive thing on your list of characteristics.

You are also my ride or die best friend. Even though you may not care when I sit and complain about something, and then proceed to kick me out of your room in a screaming match of 'LEAVE ME ALONE' (it's okay btw), I know hours later we could be back sitting and laughing at some stupid Vine video and talking about pointless things neither of us know anything about. You are going to do amazing things one day, and I know that for a fact.

Even if you don't come to FSU with me, as long as you never wear orange and blue, I'll still tell people you're my sister.

Love you longtime LB.

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."
