Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Why Yes, I AM A Great Third Wheeler And Yes, I Love And Enjoy It
Maddi Stauffer

As this might not be everyone most favorited and liked Friday night plans, you probably have caught yourself a couple times third wheeling and not even realizing. From personal experience, there are so many benefits from being able to third wheel your best friend and her boyfriend. But don't get me wrong, there are plenty of times I've wanted to throw up while hearing them talk about T.M.I. things, MORE THAN PLENTY.

But if you really think about it, your best friend's boyfriend is like yours, minus the actual relationship part a.k.a. the smooching. Speaking of your best friend's boyfriend, there are times he might be actually third wheeling you and your bestie as you make fun of him and he begins to pout. Man good times.

But let's not forget the number of times they try to set you up on a blind date with her boyfriend. "Hey we are going to meet one of *blanks* good friends at the bars and I decided that you have to come." "WOAH WOAH WOAH, I didn't agree to this... OK, well is he cute?" Then the same old outcome and you were sad at the end of the night when he ends up flaking or being one of the most attractive human beings in your life but having the shittest personalities, am I right ladies in the back.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride? No matter how hard you try, being the third wheel all the time has made you one of the pickest people ever. This is because you might also need the approval of your best friend and her boyfriend, and they are harder to please than your parents. But once you find that "person", they might as well be prepared to meet both sets of your "parents." However, you always are convinced that you'll never find anyone better than the relationship you have while third wheeling.

The big one.. the people you third wheel won't hurt your feelings unless you're just being a heartless bitch. Y'all are like a little family, Y'all stick together like Cheetah Sisters, Y'all make fun of each other without hesitation. If they are going to Waffle House on a Friday at 2 a.m. bet your booty that you'll be showing up there too. Y'all do everything together besides sleep, that's a tad weird.

The biggest plus of them all.. you're allowed to take advantage of being able to make fun of your best friend's boyfriend. You specifically know he hates country music, well what do you play? Country music that is correct. You're learning so fast. Or yelling at him for saying something mean to your bestie, that doesn't fly with my honey, OK??? Get an attitude one more time and I'll kick your a**.

This comes with the price you have to pay but you are their relationship mom and you've gladly accepted the position. If they ever have problems, you are their shoulder to cry on and man does your shoulder has lots of tears on them. It seems like every other day someone is complaining or being mean to someone and you are getting quite upset with it. If y'all can't play nice, don't play at all, remember that rule?

But in the end, until you meet that someone special, you better appreciate those two knuckleheads. They care about you a lot. Even though their PDA might be too much to handle, you still love them as much as they love each other.

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."
