Apple Re-Released The iPod Touch, And It Definitely Has Me Curious

Does everyone remember the iPod Touch? Oh man, was that a time to be alive. This was the thing to have as a kid prior to iPhones because literally, you had the world in your pocket. Games, videos, internet, long battery life. The iPod touch had it all. However, Apple did the strangest thing and re-released it in 2019 with some new updated features.

If this wasn't news to you, it should be, because you should be asking yourself, why should I buy an iPod touch in 2019? Well, I have attached a review for you here that was done by someone else on Youtube.

Alright, so what do I think? As much as I love the iPod touch, it's gonna be hard to justify what you're gonna use it for in this day and age. The iPhone does everything the iPod Touch does and, obviously, its also a phone. The iPod Touch starts at $199, but if you pay 50 bucks more, you can get an iPad. So, who would be buying it?

Maybe you can get it for that little kid in your life that always wants to play games on your phone. Maybe you can use it as a strict one use device like in the gym or in your car. Maybe, you just buy it because nostalgia sets in. However, this is all a solid maybe.

Okay, here's my deliberation. Would I buy the iPod Touch in 2019? Since I have a 256 GB iPhone XR, my answer is no. However, if I had a kid, and I needed something to give to him or her to keep them busy, I'd definitely consider it. It's essentially a device lost in time, and I think Apple did a decent job of updating its technology wise for it to be relevant nowadays. Apple arcade is going to be a thing now and the iPod Touch could spearhead playing iPhone games on your phone offline and all the other good game stuff you could imagine. I am gonna wait and see who is gonna buy this, but right now, it's a one-trick pony.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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.
