Do you remember some events in history that did not affect college students at all?


1. When the dinosaur age failed to impact our lives

Even though the Paleolithic Age was a long time ago and it created much of the world today, we still have no record of what it has done for our current lives.

2. The moment when Gandhi was discriminating against South Africans

I know how much we all appreciate Mahatma Gandhi. However, our favorite Gandhi believed that other people were inferior to Caucasian people.

3. When both World War 1 and 2 did more to seal the world than break it

Those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and those wars with Eastern Europe created a more unified eastern and western relation today. That being said, Putin is NOT part of the example.

4. The time Barack Obama left Trump in duty

Our favorite President has to leave us. With that said, he leaves a racist and dominating Republican in charge of controlling the White House and the nation's politics. Go America!

5. When the #MeToo movement led to gun control uproar

Many protest marches have been going on against sexist acts in the country. In order to expose the harsh reality behind sexual assaults and violence against women, American ladies have tried to expose men for there own wrong doings. As a result, kids have begun protesting against gun violence in schools. Kids have taken charge of politics.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
