There is a plan beyond your present that is unseen

The Truth Behind Breakups
www.themindunleashed.com

At one point or another in your life you will most likely experience a breakup, and not all breakups are the same, but I can guarantee you that eventually, if you haven't already, you will experience at least one breakup that completely blindsides you. A breakup that you never saw coming. When this happens you will almost always start questioning everything, wondering what it was that you did wrong and how you can fix it. That is, until you realize the real truth behind breakups. 9 times out of 10 I believe a breakup occurs because one or two people in the relationship are not ready, or are incompatible with each other. Generally if the breakup is due to incompatibility you will have seen signs for a few weeks before the actual breakup. These signs may include various arguments and fights and most of the time you can foresee a breakup in the near future. Blindsided breakups on the other hand are often the ones I believe are due to individuals not being ready. This could be both or only one individual in the relationship. Now, this is the tricky part. Thinking that you are ready may not actually mean that you are ready. That is a little confusing, right? Just because you believe you are ready does not mean that you are actually ready. God has a plan for each and every one of us. If you believe that there is something greater than yourself and that everything happens for a reason, this will make a lot of sense. No matter how much you feel or think that you are ready, there may be an unseen reason why this relationship is not working out that you cannot see presently. It could be because there is another person that God has planned you to be with. It could be that there are things that need to be top priority for you instead of a significant other at this point in time. It could be that there are still other things that you need to accomplish before you get too serious with another person. It could be that you need to find more things out about yourself before being with another person long term. It could be thousands of things that are unseen at the present moment. One thing that I can promise you, is that if you are meant to be with someone, you will be with that person. You do not need to change who you are, chase them, or spend your time wondering what you did wrong. If you are meant to be with someone, it will work out that way when/if it is supposed to. Corinthians 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

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.
