To My Sister Who Happens To Be A Senior In High School
Alexa Levin

Dear my little sister who happens to be a senior in high school,

Homecoming is over, yet graduation is practically a lifetime away.

Oh how I wish I could be in your position again. I remember senior year like it was yesterday. Counting down the days until graduation and praying to get accepted into my dream school, it was most definitely the best year of my life.

Every month there was something to look forward to. Senior year is filled with old friends, new friends, homecoming that you work so hard for to win, senior banquet, spring break with your best friends, senior cut day, you name it it was fun.

The last day of school it starts to hit you. This is the last day you'll be in the same building with all of these people at once. You grew up with them, cried with them, laughed with them and supported them. Though, some you never quite conversed with; you still feel like you're connected with them. I mean, you have been in school with them for the past 13 years.

Senior year... it goes by quicker than the weekend. There is so much fun, so much love, so much excitement it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Prom can be the best couple of hours of your life or after prom is when it gets good. You're constantly laughing, constantly thankful to be a senior but constantly ready to leave this place to refer to as jail, or whatever else you came up with since I graduated.

To my sister, who wishes high school over every second of every day...please stop. I envy you and sometimes catch myself vicariously living through your snapchats or your Instagram posts because jeez do I wish I could be in your place.

Enjoy your friends being a two minute drive down the highway, enjoy the minimal workload, enjoy the teachers who remind you daily of how quick this year will fly by.

You make me so proud, I am so excited to see what this year brings for you, I wish I could be in senior year again, I love you.

"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.
