5 Great Electives You Can Take at Kean University

Kean University is a great school with hundreds of classes that can interest any individual. Every major requires electives and Kean has so many fun options. There is art, music, dance, gym, health, or language. This is a list of five election classes that I took and had a great time in!


1.ASL*1101

Learn the basics of sign language! I had a wonderful teacher with a great spirit and love for the course so it was so interesting to learn. However, I do warn you that sign language takes a lot of practice but it is very rewarding.

2.HED 3400

This class is all about the human sexuality. All the professors for this class are amazing and open minded. You discuss every single topic that pertains to sex such as society views, cultures, fetishes, types of individuals, and the act of sex itself. The information is so interesting and you will look forward to going to class.

3.THE*1100

This is an introduction to theater. You learn all types of acting techniques that professionals use. I got to take this class with my best friend and we would be assigned to do random or specific skits. We get to act and express in any way we want. This was really fun and you end up bonding with many classmates.

4.HED*4333

This is another health class all about drugs. You just learn about every single type of drug, and its effects on the body. It is mostly on social issues and in my class, we are open to every individual's story dealing with drugs. I find this class very informative and helpful to know what to avoid in life and risk factors of street and prescription drugs.

5.HIST*3232

History is my favorite subject and Kean offers history on any topic you can think of. From America in 1960s to history in the carribean. A personal favorite of mine is the Medieval Times era in Europe.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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.
