To 'That' Friend

Good friends should always be cherished.

To 'That' Friend
Athaliah Walcott

To the friend who is like family to you,

To the friend who helped you change a cracked break line in the rain at night so that you could drive home to see your mom for Thanksgiving,

To the friend that tells you the way you talk to them when your frustrated makes him feel stupid, and makes you want to change so that way he never feels like that again,

To the friend who takes you to dinner because you’ve had a bad day and you look like you could use some food,

To that friend who never tried to be anything more than just friends,

To that friend who respects you, and makes you feel respected every chance they get,

To the friend who tells you to text you when you get home, even though you live down the street,

To the friend who knows your drink order and who will still drink the Sprite with grape add-in at Sonic that you ordered, even though they hate it.

To that friend that knows when you think someone is totally hot even though you didn’t think you were being that obvious,

To the friend who appreciates your making an effort to put their family first, even when it ruins your plans – then makes it up to you,

To the friend who is never mad at you, but always uses frustration as an opportunity to understand you,

To the friend whom you are always learning from,

To the friend who sings loud with you in the car and laughs at you when your voice cracks,

To the friend that you could talk to all night, and never be bored,

To the friend that you could sit in silence with, and your time together would still be awesome,

To the friend you’re excited for when opportunity arises,

To the friend whom without, you don’t know where you’d be emotionally,

To the friend who you don’t mind talking about your dreams with; because they would never laugh at you,

To the friend who makes you excited to do boring things with,

To the friend who lets you drive his car, although they don’t let a lot of other people drive it,

To the friend who is kind and patient even when you’re a handful,

To the friend who is a real blessing to you and you don’t tell them enough because if you did, it would get annoying,

To the friend whom you talk about to other people, just because they’re so awesome to you,

To the friend who will always have a special place in your heart even after you move away,

To the friend whom you hope you will be friends with forever,

You’re the best, and I love you to bits and pieces.

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."

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.
