10 Ways You Can Have The Ideal Summer
Isabelle Bruce

1. Getting a job.

The best way to spend summer is filling your days up with manual labor. WAHOO!

2. Eating anything and everything you want.

The only running you should be doing this summer is after the ice cream truck! Eat as much as you want of whatever you want this summer. Bonus: You get the buy a whole new wardrobe so you can find chic clothes to accommodate your rapidly growing waistline. You're probably immortal, so do whatever you want.

3. Using technology as much as possible.


Nothing says "Summer!" quite like sequestering yourself in a dark room with nothing but a screen to keep you company for days on end. Human interaction is so last season!

4. Refusing to wear any sunscreen.


You are a god!!! Forget the sunscreen, you don't need it. Just go outside on a sunny day and stand there for hours, completely naked and staring at the sun, so you get the perfect summer tan.

5. Blowing all of your money on stupid stuff you don't need.

Whether you have a job or are spending yet another summer jobless, forget the troubles of today's world by blowing through every single cent you and/or your parents have ever made. Goodbye college fund, hello 300 fidget spinners.

6. Doing something that's borderline insane, impossible or illegal.

You know how people say it's important to take risks and try something new? Well to have the best summer ever, you're gonna need to take this one step further. Do something completely insane. Put your life in danger! Scare strangers/your family and friends with wacky hijinxes and disturbing behavior! Do that think like the girl from The Exorcist and turn your head around 360 degrees! The world is your oyster.

7. Finding a cute dog and stealing it.

Do you want a new best friend for the summer because all of your old high school pals left you in their dust? Sweet! Stop crying and instead, steal someone's dog. It's a cheap and effective way to make a new friend. Bonus: Since the dog doesn't have a conscience, it can never leave you!

8. Rather than making new friends, spending time with a freaky robot friend you ordered online.

If you want a summer romance but aren't getting any takers, your best bet may be to order a human-like robot today. For example, you could hit the beach or roast marshmallows with a robot version of the lady-killer himself, the Albert Einstein. There's nothing creepy about this at all. See:

9. Avoiding spending time with the people you love.

In order to have a truly joyous summer, it is imperative that you sit in a small, windowless room the whole time, and never leave it. It's a real hoot!

10. Refusing to let it come to an end.

We can all agree that summer is the best time of year. So the only way to have the best summer and life ever if to make it be summer every single day of your life. Live in constant denial of reality, it's the best thing you'll ever do.

Have a great summer, everyone!

"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.
