Slow Down, Let Things Fall Into Place

You stress too much, push it aside.

Summer went by way faster than expected. It's the perfect time to contemplate life decisions and enjoy yourself at the same time. However, there are some consequences while avoiding your problems. You think everything is okay when you come home for the summer and nothing will change, but it does. It has been a long summer and I have learned a few lessons from what has been going on. A major lesson I've learned is to simply let things go and let things fall into place.

All my life I have jumped into situations and gotten myself in trouble for sticking my nose in something I shouldn't be getting myself in. A common phenomenon which happens frequently is that I jump to conclusions and never let things happen. While it is important to "shoot your shot", I have always found myself in better scenarios when I let things happen. Maybe it's my mindset or the way I view things, but I don't regret anything about it.

A lot of my stress derives from not having everything completely organized and things not going the way it should. For example, you are running late for work because you are having car problems and your work is far away from your house. Instead of manifesting the idea of being late to work, develop the idea that you will get to work and the events will transpire as such. This mindset is extremely difficult to develop because life tends to get in the way frequently and we can't help but let the stress overrule the situation. I feel that a scenario works out best when you understand the life events that are going on but refuse to let that ruin the moment or day. One can see this as a manifestation of the mind to fixate on your mindset.

This can work in terms of people, too. If someone is stressing over a person not calling them back, just let the situation go and let the person come around. Since we are dealing with people in everyday life, it's easy to lose our heads and get ahead of ourselves. Once you let the situation go, the person tends to come back around. Sometimes it's better to take a step back and realize that it's okay to let things fall into place and that things will work out, no matter the situation.

"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."

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.
