We have been talking about different kinds of religion in the exploring the human spirit class. We have been learning about different cultures and different ways that people do things in their religion. They were all different with a small amount of similarities but we learned a lot of good life qualities and ways to succeed in life. While exploring the different kinds of religions with their different Gods, we decided that each of us is going to interview someone who is different from us in many ways. We talked about culture, religion, race,ethnicity, gender etc.

When i heard of this assignment, i was a little scared because i did not know how i was going to do it and transform it into a paper. However, i did not know that i am supposed to interview a student instead of a faculty. I prepared my answers for the professor that i was planning on doing until i found out that i am supposed to have a conversation with someone that i see everyday but do not really know things about. So i decided to interview someone that i see every day. The reason why i chose him was because i thought that he was friendly and i might be able to know him more while doing this assignment I did not think that assignment could be so interesting and i learned a lot about my friend. I am glad that i chose him and i was able to have fun while doing it too.

There are a lot of things that i did not know about people in general; with this interview, i learned a lot of things about life and they also made me realize a lot of things. You can be surprise of how many similarities that you can have with someone you see every day and not know about it. You will never know if the person thinks like you or he or she has different ways of thinking. I really enjoyed this assignment and i really hope that i get to do an assignment like that.

"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.
