Explaining PLURR To All The Brads And Chads

Peace, Love, Understanding, Respect and the lesser known R, Responsibility. These words are what makeup everything that PLURR is. PLURR is the basis for all raves and events and brings us all together as a group. It is crucial that everyone keeps these values in our heads at every event we go to. We should only brighten the lives of peoples who we interact with. If we all show these qualities every experience we will have will be an amazing one and who doesn't want that?

1. Peace, just chill dude.

Peace, such a simple concept but if you manage this virtue all the others will fall into place. Peace can shine through everything you do at a rave or show. There are so many different kinds of people, and they can come from all walks of life. You never can tell the baggage that they are carrying. So instead of coming into the event like a wrecking ball ala Miley Cyrus, try your best to do be a sense of calm to those around you. Try to be the person that doesn't overwhelm others in the crowd, be the person that exudes calmness, tranquility, and ease.

2. Love your neighbor like you love yourself

The next attribute In line is love. When most people think of love they picture the romantic love that has been popularized by Hallmark and Valentine's day. But love in the scene is not just that, love extends to everyone you meet and interact with. The EDM scene is really one big family. We care about each other, we look after one another and make sure everyone has a good time. Being that we are one big family that supports one another, that means that throwing hands in the mosh pit is not a good idea.

3. Understanding that you never know what you don't know

Understanding. The third letter in PLURR and it is crucially important. Raves for many people are a chance to escape the issues that are going on in there lives. It has the potential to give them moments of bliss in a world that is too far and in between with that kind of things. You never know what people are going through. The aspects of understanding the difference between everyone who participates will open you up to so many new relationships. Some of the best people I have ever met have been at raves. So after understanding how important this is to people, maybe we should treat it a little more like a proper concert then a typical "Saturdays are for the boys".

4. Respect, treat others how you would want to be treated!

Aretha Franklin said it best " R-E-S-P-E-C-T that's what it means to me" Respect is crucial at raves and festivals. Raves are a place where almost anything goes. That leads to crazy dancing a crazy dress, you can never be sure what exactly will happen. One thing that is expected, however, is that everyone will treat others with respect. What we are not gonna do is make suggestive or sexual comments based on what someone is wearing or not wearing and for all that is good, we are not gonna grab people and try to grind to Illenium.

5. Responsibility, check yourself before you wreck yourself!

Last but certainly not least, the most forgotten part of PLURR, the last R, responsibility. Being responsible while raving is very important to do to so many things. There are many different kinds of people who come to events, bringing with them all their habits and behaviors. Some of those behaviors revolve around the consumption of different substances. There are many people who choose to and there are many who don't, and both are legitimate valid choices. However, it is important to remember that if choose to partake you have to be responsible and smart. Never get so far down a place where you put yourself and others in danger. A good determiner is asking yourself if you would come to the event without any stimulants, if yes then this is the place for you. The party favors should only be to add fun not be the cause of it. No one wants to be the person that makes themselves and their group miss killer sets because they were recuperating in the med tent.

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.
