Types of Karen

You thought there was just one type or Karen out there? Surprise! We have been blessed with different forms of Karen throughout our daily lives.

Types of Karen

Karen. The name we give to every irritating woman we have ever met or interacted with. For men with this type of personality, I usually name them Todd or Chris, however, Karen seems to make up the majority of the daily issues we come up against.

The first Karen is probably the most well known. This is the Karen who yells at managers and young children in order to get their way. This is my least favorite kind of Karen and they know this. Maybe they don't...because they still do signature Karen things from day to day.

The second type of Karen is my favorite. The Karen who cuts you off on the highway or gives you a face while she passes you. These women do not care about their effects on the rest of humanity, and I am convinced they make it their business to ruin your day.

The third and thankfully last type of Karen is the one who drives excessively slow. She apparently has nowhere to be and can take all day to get from point A to point B. Typically, you cannot get around her or she starts to speed up when you do. She may also not know where she is going. I assume all Karen types on the road are from different states or countries because she does not know common driving etiquette. This girl may try to veer into another lane or turn without signaling first. I followed a Karen the other day for only a couple miles but my goodness I was so fed up by the time she decided to get off the road I was on.

Karen-types aren't all bad. They allow us to realize that some small issues don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. We become better people due to our witness of who a Karen is and strive to be different.

Do you think the people who fit this description know they are a Karen? Do they do these things out of personal gain or just because they can? What is the goal of their interactions with others? These are the questions that will never be answered because everyone knows: you can't win with a Karen.

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."

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.
