Keeping Up: Week 2
T.E. Reed Photography

Another week has passed, and I have to admit, I was horrible at keeping a video log this week! So much so, that I don't have enough material to give you all a video... so instead I am going to talk about my "wins" and "losses" this week! Wins are things that I have achieved this week, or general positive things that happened. Losses are goals that didn't go as planned, or stressful moments throughout my week. For example, not keeping a sufficient video log was an epic #lossoverwin

However, I do want to share a MAJOR win with you all this week!! I FINALLY created my own website/blog!! I'm still working out some kinks, and I am still working on buying the website domain, but it's finished for the most part :) and on top of that, I now have a Youtube channel you can follow, and an Instagram! Let me explain why I am so excited for this major chapter in my life...

I have always wanted to keep up my own blog, but the problem has been that I wasn't self-motivated enough, or self-disciplined enough to keep with it. Now that I have been processing my inner turmoils and voicing them on The Odyssey Online, I've found the courage to actually keep my goals and move forward to a better life.

More wins for me this week include the continuous achieving of my goal to visit the gym for at least three days a week. This week my roommate and I have pledged to add a fourth day and see how we feel. I recognize that I just feel 100% better and more clear-headed after I exercise, I feel like I could accomplish anything! I'm also more likely to reach for the healthier options when I get my exercise in than when I am sitting around all the time. Also, I find myself getting restless in classes that extend past 2 hours, whereas before i would be able to sit through a six hour class, no problem.

For those who would like to follow, I will be posting throughout the week on both my personal blog and my Instagram.

In the mean time, I'd love to hear about some of YOUR #wins and #losses

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.
