Big Brother 19 Finale Reaction

Wow. I am in shock with a lot of people probably being very happy right now. However, I go back to what a lot of people say: The person that wins Big Brother deserves to win, and the person that loses deserves to lose. That is exactly the case with Josh winning the season over Paul. Even though Paul played one of the best games in Big Brother History, he failed on one crucial element, the social element. Yes he played a social game, but he wasn't able to create the same magic he did last year with it. In the end, everyone was so bitter towards Paul that it just wasn't enough. Jury Management is one of the most important parts of the game and Paul did burn a lot of people. Jason and Alex mainly were the people that when Paul looks back on this, he is going to regret backstabbing them the way he did. They clearly voted with their hearts on their sleeves which is something one has to take in account when playing the game. The sad thing is Paul doesn't realize why he lost. He should've owned his game when the jury was questioning him and he didn't. The worst thing is that he might just not have realized that he did employ some bullying tactics and that is what cost him the game. He might never see this either because it really never got shown on the TV show. He was always shown in a positive light and the real dirty things were just on the feeds. The loss might always be a mystery to Paul. One thing Paul did though was solidfy himself as one of the best players to never win along with the likes of Queen Janelle. In fact, those two are in a league of their own right now. He has a spot in All-Stars if there ever is one.

Enough about that though, lets talk about the REAL winner of the season. Josh was for sure a flawed player, but he played his cards well dispite fighting with everyone in the house at some point. Yes he did what Paul wanted, but when Alex, for instance was voted out, Josh was the one that cast the vote. He then would expose the plan to them in the goodbye message showing that he cared about them. Paul did bond with everyone, but by doing this Josh managed them well. He made it look like Paul was the bad guy, which was the truth, but he always was viewed better. He also had this incredible underdog story after fighting with just about everyone in the house early on and then coming for the win. He made more social connections with everyone and he did expose people's games when he needed to. He made the wrong decision to take Paul to the end, but in the end it worked out for him. He was a great character on this season as well. He wasn't as strategic, but he wore his heart on his sleeve and that is what won him the game. The sad thing is though that he will probably will never get the credit he deserves. Everyone is going to always talk about how Paul lost and not how Josh won. His game is not super high on my list, but he better in my opinion than BB3 Winner Lisa, BB11 Winner Jordan Lloyd, and BBOTT winner Morgan Willet.

As far as the season as a whole goes, its definitely towards the bottom. There was some absolutely terrible game play from the rest of the players when Paul clearly was controlling everything. It got to be very predictable on the strategic side and was almost a chore to tune into each week. What this season was really about was the fighting and the drama that came with it. Josh was so entertaining with those pots and pans. On the other hand though, it sometimes just got to personal and I felt like I had to take a shower after watching the episode. Alex just hating Kevin for no reason was just so disgusting.

That is the my two cents on BB19 though and I know everyone can't wait until Celebrity Big Brother!

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.
