How Prison Break Changed My Life

PSA: DO NOT read if you haven't watched Prison Break UNLESS you are willing to read spoilers.

Coming back from vacation I needed a good show to watch. Everyone has been saying great things about Prison Break, and the fact that it is coming back super soon is also a plus. So about a week and a half ago I started up Prison Break. I maintained a work schedule, sleeping a good average of 10 hours and I managed to finish it within a week and a half. It's addicting. This is what it has done to my life.

Prison Break is weird I'm not going to lie. The whole HUGELY corrupt government and the many surprises the creators have up their sleeve, the fact that out of everyone in the prison with Michael he ends up bringing T-Bag the worst of the worst (who also ends up getting in his way and giving him a hard time accomplishing things.) Lord the frustration.

Basically, I WANT TO MEET MICHAEL SCOFIELD. He's like a brooding, dark, and sexy, like can I just hug him? His mind is brilliant. I'm always surprised and impressed with what he comes up with. He's the center of the show to me. I understand how some people think the center of the show in Lincoln because Michael breaks his brother out, but it's about Michael. What a man he is. I'm not sure how or what but something about this character makes me want to binge the show. I don't know how I'm going to wait week after week for an episode. I could barely wait the 10 seconds after the episode ending and the new one loaded.

I love Lincoln's love for his son, and for those he cares about. He just wants the best life the ones he loves can have. It's endearing and heartwarming in a show of killers, hunting to death, and death.

I'm in this haze right now of not knowing what to do. I know that I just finished the show, but I want to watch it all over again... and again...and again...you get the point. I also can't wrap my head around the fact that they ended this back in 2009. Like why wait seven-ish years to reboot? Lord my mind is boggled.

Going back to Michael, and his mind. He is so dense and it works. He works, the show works, the everything works. The fact that the tattoos were his map out of there. Holy...! AND MAHONE FIGURED IT OUT. And then Mahone became loyal to Michael. The world is full of unique forgiving people we just have to search and cross paths with.

Prison Break also showed me a lot. I know that the corrections system is corrupt. I've known that for a while. I've just never seen anything as bad as how Bellick (bless his soul at the end of the series) ran and did the things he did. Or how the other guards did the things they did. And when Sarah goes to prison and all the guards gang up on her?

AND THE GOVERNMENT! How none of the men (and Sarah) could trust anyone from the government. The way they handed Scylla over to the right man was shocking at first. Like man you alive? Okay..okay now where's Abruzzi? Is he coming back too?

This show has my mind racing with everything it's given me. There's not another show I could write this about. (JK GREYS.) There's this special way that Prison Break is that sucks everyone in and keeps them sucked into that illusion of fiction. I could honestly keep going. There is much more I could write about. Like, how every character can change how you feel about one particular circumstance and much more. But, I bet you just don't want to read anymore and that's fine. I'll be back one day with a part two. Don't worry. I'll have 100 parts on why this show is great and life changing.

"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."

Christmas tree

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.
