Just a handful of people who make me smile

To Some Of The People I Love, Thank You For Being You
Long Beach, WA

Being a writer, you sometimes (almost always) have writer's block. And when I ask my people “what should I write about this week?” the only answer I ever get is “ME!”. So, here you go, a handful of the people who matter the most to me right now (I could list so many).

My family:

They make me laugh, they keep me going, and they never ever fail to love me. I could not handle life without them on my side. We truly are the greatest team.

My mom is my anchor and I would physically die without her.

My dad is one of those people that you cannot help but love. He is the greatest father to our family and the best husband to my mom.

Kendall is growing into the sweetest, funniest, greatest girl I know. She is not only a given best friend but a chosen one too.

Mandalin:

Yes, her name is weird but she is one of the greatest humans I know. Witty, fierce, athletic, and hilarious. We don’t see each other every day like we used to, but whenever we are together, it's like freshmen year never ended. She has been my rock for a while now and I cannot thank her enough for being that. It is a hard job.


Ashley:

My current roommate whom I couldn’t live without. She is kind and generous and smart and incredibly creative and even though she doesn’t believe it, she is gorgeous and deserves a hell of a lot more than what she thinks.


Madeline:

The prettiest human on the face of this planet! I mean, those eyelashes.. come on! This girl is always so positive and bright and just a constant ray of sunshine, even though the past month has not treated her the best. She is always there for me no matter what.

Reilley:

I have known this sweet soul since the first grade. She and I are like two peas in a pod, literally the same person. She is never one to judge or hate and is always there for me when I need to hear her voice. She is the only girl I know who looks good in every hair color and is one of the few people who know me inside and out, back and forth.


Brooks:

This boy should honestly get his own article. He is, without a doubt, the sweetest boy ever. He is not only funny and quite handsome (ladies, wink wink), but he gives me tough love and never lets me forget how much I'm worth. He is the truest kind of friend. (L I V I D that I do not have a picture with him? so here is him with a baby)


Cydney:

This is basically my big sister. She is who lead me to Greek Life, she is who encourages me to be my best and have fun doing it, she is one of my greatest role models. I am so blessed to be able to look up to her and call her my sis.

There are so many people who I could put down, but yall would be reading forever...

I love all of you with my whole heart. Thank you for keeping me sane and loving me no matter what!

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.
