A Christmas Miracle For Many Hungry Families

How a Cleveland Browns' win will feed hungry families in Northeast Ohio

A Christmas Miracle For Many Hungry Families
Samantha Caruso-Taylor

On Christmas Eve at 12 pm the Cleveland Browns played the San Diego Chargers at First Energy Stadium. After a missed and blocked field goal by the Chargers the final score was 20-17, a Browns victory that resulted in the cancellation of the “perfect season parade” in honor of our winless season. A win that left the Cleveland Browns 1-14 a week before their final game of the season. Many have counted this as a Christmas miracle that many Clevelanders didn’t ask for, but some will see it as a Christmas miracle. Although Cleveland will not see another parade, many families throughout Northeast Ohio will see food on their tables, as the money that was raised for the parade will go to the Cleveland Food bank. Because of a radio host Clevelanders were able to raise over $9,000 for a parade that is now cancelled, now instead the money will go towards an even better cause; the hunger of many Clevelanders. This could indeed be a Cleveland miracle for many families across Northeast Ohio who will be given food to feed their children this holiday season. So, Cleveland may not be having a parade after the 1st of the year, but many more stomachs will be filled because of the donation to the Cleveland food bank. Cleveland’s win on Christmas Eve was indeed a win for more than just the football team; it was a win for hungry families across Northeast Ohio. A huge thank you is due to all that donated to the cause, for it is because of your donations that families will not go hungry this coming year. It took one win by the Cleveland Browns to give food to those that long for food this holiday season. So a huge thank you goes to the Cleveland Browns for not only giving Cleveland a win, but for giving many more families throughout Northeast Ohio food this holiday season.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
