What We Didn't Get From Tiger Woods

All of the things that others got to experience with their hero, we missed out on because of health.

What We Didn't Get From Tiger Woods
CBS Sports

To me, and many others, your'e a hero, a role model on the course, and a legend. Tiger Woods, you are the single reason I ever wore a Nike golf shirt, the number one reason I ever wore red on Sunday and a big part of the reason that I ever picked up a club. You made us laugh with your post round interviews, you made us smile with your 30-feet birdie putts and wild fist pumps. You also made us cry during the victory hugs with your Dad, and the countless moments that you shared with the fans.

There is one thing missing from you that all of us need. We need you to come back just one last year, one last month, one last major, one last week! For us it feels like you just died, one week you're winning the next you're out with an injury never to be seen again.

Other people get so much more from their heroes, Peyton went on a farewell tour and won a SuperBowl. Kobe departed by making huge entrances at every arena and one classic 'Kobe doing Kobe' game. The thing is, to us, Kobe and Peyton are nothing in comparison to you Tiger, you're who we want to be like.

We didn't get that final ride, we didn't get that last time you came to our home state course, we didn't get that last round dramatic victory on the 18th green. I know that is a lot to ask for, your health is out of your control and I know you want to be out there playing but if there is ANY way possible come back!

The thing is, we just miss you. We love you Tiger! We want to see you one more time, hit it 300 yards and know you can do better. We want to see you put on that red shirt and make us all smile! Come back for us. Come back, to say goodbye.

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.
