Why You Should Watch The Roast Of Justin Bieber

Love him or hate him, Justin Bieber has earned the admiration of many an eight year old girl. From his baby-cheeked innocence and swoosh-y hair style to the tattoos and abs highlighted in Calvin Klein ads everywhere, Justin Bieber grew up, right before our very eyes, into one of the most famous teen celebrities.

I never hated or loved the Biebs; I thought his purple space suits were comical and that the one haircut (you know which one I mean) made him look rather feminine, and he definitely sounded like a girl when he belted out the high notes of "One Time." But I also cranked up the radio and joyfully sang along to "Baby" "As Long As You Love Me" and "Beauty and a Beat" whenever they came on. But that was it. I swear! Until I watched Comedy Central's Roast of Justin Bieber which savagely ripped him to shreds for pretty much -- well, everything. Then I decided I loved Justin Bieber and happily succumbed to the Bieber fever.

With his recent resumé of egging houses, peeing on film and drunkenly speeding around in expensive vehicles, Justin Bieber has certainly disappointed his fan base. Even starstruck fangirls found it hard to look past his wrongdoings. Any person, no matter their personal interest in the pop singer, could look at Justin Bieber and shake their head at his mess -- just another star going down the wrong road under the pressure of fame and fortune.

But Justin Bieber stepped up and voluntarily went on the Comedy Central roast. And they were mean. They ragged on his hair, his music, his relationship with Selena Gomez, his strange fashion choices, his everything. If it wasn't so funny, I might have had to stop for a second and feel bad. Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Kevin Hart and Martha Stewart, to name a few, were present, and they succeeded in creating some crude and downright racist humor. They took Justin Bieber out and really gave it to him.

The moral of the story is that Justin Bieber owned up to pretty much everything he has ever been made fun of for, and it was great. He took it all in stride as he was called out for his ridiculous antics and unfortunate decisions. He laughed at himself. He made a few of his own roast jokes as he tried his hand at comedy. Then he got all serious and apologized with this heartfelt speech at the end, and gave the audience what should be an award winning puppy dog look. For that, I excuse all the cringe-worthy music videos, circa 2010.

So whether it's to be won over or to get a solid laugh, you are bound to get something out of the Roast of Justin Bieber. I will be watching BELIEVE the movie and creating a fan page in my free time. Kidding. Kind of.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
