Memories

Can they be Forced or does it take care to Enjoy them?

Memories are pieces of a person and can be forgotten or forcibly erased but this depends on if the person finds those specific memories enjoyable, a comfort and an experience that benefits them in the long-run, short-run, and at any time. All people can produce memories and they can happen at any time but it’s the nature of tacking on a name to the product of varying emotions that makes them special. What would you do if your memories were deliberately placed inside of you and they were yours but simultaneously not yours at the same time? Memories that you remember as if you were there but the people within them are not ones that you are aware of or recognize in a sense but you do know of those people. How would the reaction(s) of the people involved and you yourself be? False memories could potentially be better than the original memories that you have but it would be a deceitful life for the person itself and feel as if their whole life was all for nothing and incomplete. The branding and inscribing of thoughts that essentially makes a person unique from another. Different people can share the same emotions and feelings but the reactions from the experiences will be regarded in more diverse lights some more positive and others in a more negative sense then the rest are a merging and meshing of experiences. Memories are the things people look back to or reflect usually to symbolize or direct the way that their life has been or make comparisons to the way it is currently to how it was in the past. Memories are not stagnant things they can forever be chaging based on the feelings felt towards them and also be created with time as it passes by. Memories are connections with others and branches that can be seperated by major events and smaller channels in between, this makes memories uniwue akin to a snowflake and different for each person.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
