Simply Listening To Music Can Change Your Outlook On Everyday Life
Hunter Ruediger

There are so many types of music out there being produced every day. Chances are, there is going to be a type of music that one will like and will want to listen to. There are also a lot of different places to listen to music and some are free while some cost money. The music industry is one of the largest in the US, and it is constantly growing with the audience.

Music can produce a special effect on simple things like everyday life. Music has the ability to turn a simple walk into a walk where you just look around and see the world with a different view. It can change the way you see things with a simple of choice of what music you turn on. In one class I took, we watched a video where it showed the vision of someone on a walk and it was just that person walking with no music. The professor asked us to guess the mood of the walker and no one knew. Then the professor played the same video except for this time it had happy music playing and the video was evident by the music playing and it made the walk seem more enjoyable.

This is the power of music in something as simple as a walk. It can change the mood of a lot of things, like how it changed the walk feel. Another example is when you're working out and you go without music playing and you just seem to not be able to lift as much or run as long as you can with music playing. It is a great motivating tool and helps you push through the struggle you may or may not get sometimes. With running it almost makes you forget about how long you've been running for.

Music has a magical effect on everyday life. Even if that may seem like a small thing to do there can be big, positive effects from that little action. Like starting your day with some happy music while walking to class sets you up to have a much better, enjoyable day than if you were walking to class listening to some sad music. Music can have that big of an effect on your day.

Music is an amazing thing this world has to offer and can be utilized in many more ways that haven't even been thought of currently. There is always some kind of music that you can find that will help you get through the day and feel better than if you hadn't listened to any music.

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."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
