Does Life Really Want To Be Found?

Even Life needs a break now and then. Well, now more than ever.

Does Life Really Want To Be Found?
in5d: Esoteric Metaphysical Spiritual Database

On one hot, mid-August night, as the stars woke one by one to the furious winged beat of crickets and humidity slowly unfastened itself from around an arbitrary college campus, an anonymous sophomore went out in search of her close friend, Life.

Approximately 30 minutes later, it was reported that a very angry female was set loose around the University, mumbling something about forgetting her phone, keys, not to mention wallet, and if she had that said close friend, the keys would have been with her from the start.

“I don’t know who this ‘Life’ person is, but it seems like she really depends on them!” one bystander remarks, looking fearfully over their shoulder.

“However,” the eye witness continued, lowering their voice in a conspiratorial manner, “if you have seen somebody named, Dreams, let me know. She’s my best friend but ever since the start of my third year here, I just can’t seem to find her.”

Sneaking one more look at the subject in question and receiving a particularly nasty glare in return, the interviewee abandoned further questions and walked quickly to the nearest bus stop.

Meanwhile, the object at hand had now transformed into a raving student in full- “beast mode, dude!” an intoxicated young adult yelled out, stumbling across the school grounds.

Yes. The raving student was now in full ‘beast mode’, kitchen sinking the campus like there was no tomorrow. What she did not know, was that there would in fact, be a tomorrow. And many tomorrows after that. Several decades of tomorrows if she could only locate the three physical items that were essential to getting back home in one piece.

“…And another thing! Ever since I got here, you’ve been nothing but excuses! Oh the library won’t open because blah, blah, blah, the Wi-Fi won’t work because blah, blah, blah, this and that volunteer work won’t count because blah, blah, blah…well you know what?! Once I find Life, I’m getting outta here!”

Little did the student know that Life had taken one look at her collected emotional baggage, overly chaotic tendencies to dramatize everyday situations, failure to hold up even the slightest form of organizational skills not only around her living space, but around her very sphere of influence, that Life decided its entire presence would be ultimately pointless, not to mention, unnecessary.

Glaring at those who seemed to have gotten their existence together in a fairly quick manner, the sophomore finally accepted her key-less, phone-less, wallet-less situation, and gave up hope of ever being average.

Then again…who ever wanted to be average anyway?

"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.
