You feel comfortable doing THAT laugh around them

15 Ways You Know You're In An Honest-To-God, Long-Term Relationship

When you know the relationship is serious...

1. You fart in front of each other

2. You can joke around.

Giphy

Sarcasm is your best friend. Saying "I hate you" really means "I love you". You have tickle fights, or pretend fights. You are silly together.

3. You do that laugh.

Giphy

The one where it sounds like pure happiness. The one that you never really do. The one you really only do with them.

4. You have a TV series you watch together

Giphy

5. When you call your parents they ask how your partner is doing.

Giphy

It's the best feeling ever, being told "I was on the phone with my mom and she asked about you so I told her everything"

​6. When you guys aren't together, you miss each other.

Giphy

You just left? Yea I miss you already. It doesn't matter the time of day or what you're doing, you still miss them. You have phone calls when you cant see each other because you know its the next best thing

7. You're still learning about them

Giphy

You don't learn big things every day. Sometimes this could just be learning about their thoughts/feelings. Other times its their weird querks.

8. You have your own lives

Giphy

You give each other space; have your own hobbies, thoughts, likes, dislikes, and friend groups.

9. That doesn't mean you can't do things together

Giphy

Go out with my group of friends? Of course! Have them become your friends? Best thing ever! But we can hang out with them without one another.

10. You can be in complete silence and feel comfortable

11. ​The little things matter the most.

You make them seem like its nothing, yet you do it all the time: "I bought this for you because it made me think of you", randomly stopping by their house to say hi, or leaving them a love note.

12. Sleeping next to each other is common

Its easier to fall asleep next to them then alone. You can fall asleep with them next to you in .5 seconds, but alone it takes forever and a day. Also, hanging out consists of taking so many naps.

13. You talk about the future

upload.wikimedia.org

You talk about if you want kids, how many, where you want to live, you aspirations, what/where you want your job to be.

14. You're still a united front after being apart

Giphy

Work, school, family, friends, and life are all things that get in the way of being with each other 247. Despite not seeing each other a lot, or maybe only seeing each other at night, you both still are on the same page; you both are still together.

15. You're selfless.

Giphy

You're selfless. You do what the other wants to do, even if you hate it

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.
