Why You Should Watch "13 Reasons Why"
https://cpyu-5389.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/13-reasons-why-2.jpg

I'm writing about 13 Reasons Why. I'm writing about this because this is an important topic to society. No just because of the suicide and everything but just in general. This show has reasons why you should watch it and it has reasons why you shouldn't watch it. Suicide is a heavy topic in my house because my family knows two people that had killed themselves at a very young age and one of them was really recent. 13 Reasons Why is promoting many things in different ways. People say we shouldn't watch it because it's promoting suicide. How is it promoting suicide? I don't see how it is. I see that it's promoting people to get help and talk to people about there issues so they don't hurt themselves or feel like there ever alone. If your going to watch this it would be better for people to watch it with there family so they can ASK questions and point things out as they go along. 13 Reasons Why is giving people a voice saying "Hey lets stop this because it is a serious problem in our society today." People shouldn't have to be afraid of talking about there feelings to there parents or anyone else if they need help. They shouldn't even feel like suicide is an option because in my book SUICIDE ISN'T AN OPTION. Everyone should be provided with the help they need and know the signs of someone who is depressed. People should know how to help the ones in need of help or a shoulder to cry on. 13 Reasons Why helped me learn that saying a nice thing can be the most meaningful thing to someone and it also showed me the signs of someone who is depressed and might need help. So I say watch 13 Reasons Why and get knowledge on this kind of stuff because you might be able to save someones life one day.

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.
