Imagine remembering a person you used to be. Some people live those memories everyday.

Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures
Conscious Lifestyle Mag

Personally, I do not believe in reincarnation. However, I do have a great interest in events that go "beyond science" (which is the name of a YouTube channel that I follow, if you like things similar to what I am about to talk about I suggest subscribing to it). Reincarnation is an idea that has been around for centuries. Reincarnation is a belief of multiple cultures and religions, especially in the Western World. To some of us, this is just a history lesson from old cultures. But to others, this is reality.

Patrick Christenson

In March of 1991, Patrick was born by cesarean section. Twelve years earlier, he had an older brother named Kevin who died of cancer at the age of two. Kevin developed a limp six months before passing away. Kevin also had a small nodule above his right ear removed, a biopsy was performed and this is how the family found out Kevin had cancer. Tumors eventually spread throughout the rest of his body, one of them causing blindness in his eye. Kevin passed away shortly after his second birthday. Twelve years later, Patrick was born. Coincidentally, Patrick walked with a limp, had a scar above his right ear, and was blind in one eye. Patrick also talked about the old house that Kevin lived in, and mentioned how he doesn't remember much during the procedure where the doctors removed the nodule above his ear.

Purnima Ekanayake

Purnima was nine years old when a psychology professor decided to visit her in her home in Sri Lanka. The professor was interested in this particular girl because usually kids stop talking about their past life by the age of six. Purnima claimed that she had died in a traffic accident in her past life. The parents and professor were interested in this, so they travelled to the village the girl used to live in. The girl used to be a man named 'Jinadasa,' and he used to work in an incense factory. Purnima had birth marks on her stomach, which she said were the tire marks of where the bus ran over her in her past life.

Twin Sisters

In England in 1957, two sisters were killed by a car that hit them while they were walking along a sidewalk. One year later, the wife became pregnant, and the husband had a feeling that this pregnancy was going to be twin girls, both of who were going to be a reincarnation of their daughters who passed the year before. One of the babies was born with a scar above her right eyebrow, identical to their oldest daughter's. The other baby was born with a mole, the same size and in the same spot as their youngest daughter who had passed. When the girl's turned four, the husband opened up his late daughters' box full of toys. The twin girls knew the names of every single toy, and to which sister it belonged to.

James Leininger

James had a fascination with anything aircraft related when he was a child. However, when he turned two James began having nightmares about aviation. He would wake up shouting "burning plane" and "man can't get out." James would tell his father about how he used to fly planes off of a ship called Natoma. His father was very interested in these stories that he researched this ship. Come to find out, Natoma was an aircraft ship in the Pacific, and a young man at the age of 21 died when a plane caught on fire. It is to be believed that James is the reincarnation of this young pilot.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
