40 Things To Talk About Other Than Politics

If you're anything like me, you want your social media to go back to the way it was. If you want social media to be political, then create a separate type of media called political media please because some of us want to see drool worthy recipes and adorable animals again. I think the world needs a little light and a breather from the exhaustion that has been controlling the population for the past few weeks. I hope this gives a little hope for conversations everywhere.

1. The last puppy you had the pleasure of petting.

2. How long you think it would take to grow out your hair to mermaid length.

3. If you could taste the difference between Coke and Pepsi.

4. Super pre-plan your April Fools Day pranks.

5. Your dream vacation.

6. The last dance in Dirty Dancing.

7. How to save endangered animals from poachers.

8. Healthy diets you should probably go on.

9. Pizza. Any type of pizza.

10. What came first, the chicken or the egg?

11. Where to go for dinner?

12. What kind of monsters are there in the deep depths of the ocean?

13. What fashion statements are coming back in style from decades ago?

14. What talent you would hold the record for in the Guinness Book of World Records.

15. How there is no awkward stage for middle schoolers now.

16. How to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.

17. What to do now that Victoria's Secret no longer sells bathing suits.

18. How the holes form in swiss cheese.

19. Songs that give you the feels.

20. The contents of your bucket list.

21. The scare factor of every amusement park ride you've ever been on.

22. If you were to create a flavor of ice cream what would it be?

23. Your biggest fears.

24. How we've advanced in technology since the creation of the world wide web in 1990.

25. Wondering what it would be like to live underwater.

26. Who will win the Super Bowl?

27. How much you could eat in one sitting.

28. Wondering where your doppelgänger is in the world.

29. If you have met any celebrities.

30. What is your ideal date?

31. Start planning Valentine's Day with your significant other.

32. Your best knock knock jokes.

33. How much butter you like on your popcorn.

34. What your superpower would be and why.

35. If you would sacrifice your life for someone you love.

36. What your spirit animal would be.

37. If you've ever broken a bone.

38. The happiest day of your life.

39. The shows you've binge watched on Netflix.

40. Basically anything that will steer clear of friends combatting each other over social media because of difference of opinion.

Yes, you have a voice. But use it for loving, laughing, and appreciating what you have in front of you. So get random and learn things about others and yourself you never knew before.

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."

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.
