To The Girl Who Dates My Best Friend

Sometimes there are just those people that come into our lives, and suddenly you don't know exactly where it started but it is as if you've been friends your whole lives. He was one of these people to me. But if we're being honest at first I wanted ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this kid, from the very first second I saw him. Little did I know, he would be in all of my classes except for one. Everyone told me that I might as well at least become an acquaintance with him, being that he was in pretty much all of my classes. But me being me I refused to accept that or to entertain the idea of even learning his real name. Low and behold this idiot would turn out to be one of my best friends. But enough about us, its time to talk about you.

If you are even thinking about dating my best friend there are a few things you should understand.


1. We are best friends, that is all.

There is no reason to be worried that I am going to steal him from you. However, you best believe that if you are toxic to him and treat him like crap I will do everything in my power to make you disappear.

2. He is not going to stop talking to me.

We have already faced this if a girl comes along and tries to tell him he can't talk to me...I will not be the one to disappear it will be her. We are not going to cut our friendship for someone who probably won't be permanent.

3. I get to make fun of him 24/7 and more.

You are going to hear me make fun of him, call him names, and have inside jokes with him. But let us be clear we are best friends, we have talked about it, and he is okay with me making fun of him: because he knows deep down I love him. You, on the other hand, need to be careful of what you say to him, and how you say it.

4. Your relation to our friendship.

There is nothing I want more than for my best friend to be happy. Which means if you make him happy then I guess you're okay in my book. That being said, I might not be the friendliest all the time: part of that is just who I am. But also I know there will be times when we won't be able to hang out because he is spending time with you. Yes I know this will happen, and I will be mostly okay, but that doesn't mean I'll always be the happiest about it. There is a good chance until you are here for a while that I won't refer to you by your name. I will know your name, and use it when talking to you. But when I am talking to him, you'll probably get a nickname. (It's not meant to be a bitchy move I promise, just how I work)

5. Heaven forbid that you hurt him.

We have our fair share of nicknames, and jokes that sound terrible to anyone who doesn't know us, but it is all in a good manner. Our friendship grew out of us not liking each other, but now we are best friends and love each other. Over the course of our friendship, I have gotten to know this idiot, we share sayings and habits like we are two halves of a whole at times. We know and love each other's families. It is almost as if we were born as twins. Which means if you hurt him, you are hurting me too. If you do something to upset or anger him I feel the same way. We tell each other everything, so if you wrong him you can guarantee that I know about it and am not happy. He is one of the most amazing, kind, caring humans that I know, and he doesn't deserve to be treated any less than the best. I will make sure of that, and if you aren't treating him good, you will have to answer to me. Because no one is going to treat my best friend any less than he should be.

6. I have your back too.

I know it may sound like I am pretty against you, but I'm not. I will have your back too. When he gets out of line, starts acting like an idiot, or gets scared and shuts you out. I will be there to keep him in line and make sure he is okay. Because in the end, if you're good to him, then I'll probably like you. If you need to know something about him, want to hear funny stories, or see funny photos; then I am the person who can provide that, you just have to ask. Sometimes I'll tell you without asking just cause I think it'll be funny to see if I can embarrass him.

In the end, please just be good to him. Treat him like the amazing, funny, and caring guy he is: and please respect our friendship. Because in the end, I want nothing more than to see my best friend happy because he deserves it.

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.
