The inspiration of the moment is a form of inspiration and the kind that doesn’t always stick to a person. It acts as a placeholder in one's mind, the one that calls for sitting and staring and pondering within one's head to reach it. It then becomes the type of inspiration that drives someone crazy due to the compulsion to reach an idea or that “spark” that is required to achieve results, and in my life, this is the inspiration that becomes an irritation to me like a spider that won’t go away! The spider is the thing that you don’t want to be in your house with you, but you know that it can exterminate the other bugs that bother you, creating the effect of being both helpful but menacing simultaneously. Sources of the inspiration of the moment are similar to this; you need it at that moment but the ideas just won’t flow as they should, causing complications. That same spider uses it webs for the basis of its survival; the webs can support the body of the spider, catch and hold all kinds of things and do much more. Ideas work similarly to this manner as you can either have multiple ideas at once and just not know which one is the correct or best option or have an empty mind, working to even find the inspiration.

The other problem with inspiration is that the idea can be perfect as can be in your mind, but the planning and implementation of the idea to bring it to its final stage is what ruins everything and then leads to a state of humiliation. This is how the world works, no? This makes the ideas that are lacking full vision the fault of the one handling it, right? A person can be proficient in something and yet the one time they attempt to do something their way, it doesn’t work as planned. But this is why it is so important to try, and sometimes one's vision has to keep evolving and have several iterations before perfection or final completion is achieved! I believe that many people find it hard to find inspiration right off the bat, and this is what can make everyday tasks or daily living impossible to overcome. That itch or spider doesn't go away until your vision is achieved to your satisfaction. People in varying stages of happiness will accept things differently than others depending on the source and become very dependent on the interactions with the source to get a project defined.

I find that when I have to do group projects, or even with schoolwork in college, a source of inspiration must be met or at least forced in order to complete the work successfully. The lack of inspiration leads to less studying or putting your all into the work and can lead to a downfall in the aftermath, which is a potential lesser grade in the class. College is as other stages of school; kids become lazy with their workloads at certain time frames and do not improve the specific feelings towards the class, such as being apathetic or not liking the classes, thus sometimes affecting their performance. These types of classes tend to drain me more than the ones I actually try hard in or like, which to me seems confusing; but I assume how inspiring or captivating I feel towards certain classes will be proven with how I do. I have to find the inspiration and creative vision even with the less than desirable classes. This applies to daily life as well; how engaged one is with the current events that occur and life’s activities can determine the emotions associated with that current vision or project. So channel your inner spider and let your visions blossom into something great! Fuel your inspiration with a walk out in nature, a dance in the rain, or a coffee by the lake! Produce results any and everywhere!

"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.
