To My Long Distance Best Friend...

To my best friend who is now hours and miles away...

1. I think about you every day

There is never a day that goes by when I don't think about you. It was less than a year ago when I had you by my side throughout everything. You were there with me everywhere that I went. We were inseparable. Just because you are no longer by my side physically, you are still in my heart everywhere that I go. The smallest things make me think about you and thousands of memories flood my brain. I know that no matter what is going on in my crazy life that I am still loved by you.

2. We will make new friends, but they aren't you...

I love friends who are now with my everyday. They are awesome people, but they aren't you. You have given me a sense of hope and reassurance that is hard to find. You went through some very dark times with me. You saw me at my absolute worst. We both have many friends, but they aren't you.

3. I sometimes cry because I miss you.

When I say that I sometimes cry, I mean that I cry every day. I scroll through our pictures every day just to find myself missing you more than I miss my family. (I miss my family a lot, but you became my family)

4. I hope you find someone who loves you as much as I do...

I mean this in you finding your soulmate, but I also hope that you find a new best friend who loves you as much as I do. I love you, but honey you are a lot to handle at times. I hope that someone can you handle you with care and so much love. I hope that they understand your situations and they reassure you that you are not alone. I hope that they see your worth because you are worthy of everything. I hope that they see God in you as I do. I hope that you find a soulmate who loves you more than I do. I hope that you are treated with love everywhere you go.

5. Remember that I am still here...

I may be hours away from you, but I am only a phone call away. If you ever catch yourself falling and you need a boost; I want you to call me. I never want you to feel alone, so please remember that I am with you everywhere you go. You are no longer just my best friend, but you are my sister. I love you more than you will ever know.

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.

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.
