5 Ways Microsoft Word Makes College Life So Much Easier

I no longer write down my notes during my lectures. Writing down notes with a pencil in hand always leave my hand sweaty and exhausted every time in class.

As I reached the end of my semester, I realized how important Microsoft Word plays in my college life. Without Microsoft Word, I don't think my college life wouldn't have been easier. If there is something I should be thankful for, that will be Microsoft Word. Here are the reasons why.

1. Microsoft Word makes note-taking more comfortable for me

I no longer write down my notes during my lectures. Writing down notes with a pencil in hand always leave my hand sweaty and exhausted every time in class. I was unable to keep up with what the teacher is saying as well, leaving me so frustrated. But Microsoft Word allows me to keep up with the teacher is saying and I was able to gather the most important notes.

2. Microsoft Word gives me a place to write out my stories

If you are taking a Creative Writing class in fiction, Microsoft Word is the best program to type out stories. You can store all your creative ideas in a document. I love writing stories so much, I always go to Microsoft Word. Plus, this is where I'm writing my in-progress stories that I hope to publish as a novel one day! Not to mention, Microsoft Word allows me to keep my stories hidden away from the public eye. That's to say that Microsoft Word is my outlet for all my creative ideas.

3. Microsoft Word allows me to type out my essays

This is probably the only place where I have to write all of my college essays…

4. Microsoft Word helps me write out my resumes

As I apply for job interviews and internships, they will always ask for resumes. And boy, what place allows me to build my resume? Microsoft Word, no dah.

5. Microsoft Word makes list-making easier

Every time that I have to write out a list of groceries to buy, what art supplies I have to buy, or what ideas I have for my essay, Microsoft Word always make my lists so neat and organized to look at.

Are you thankful for having Microsoft Word in your life? Because I am!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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."
