The Five Worst Things About Watching Dramas
Timebook.life

Watching dramas from other countries is one of the best ways to spend your free time. Not only are the stories intriguing, but the actors and actresses always seem to have that special something that the ones here in the U.S. don't have. The one thing that makes these dramas different from tv shows in the U.S. is the fact that they're in another language. Sometimes this can become a problem, as well as many other things.

1. Finding the drama

The first thing you need to do before you watch a drama, is to find it. Sometimes it can be found on YouTube, various drama sites, or other obscure places on the internet. It can take literal hours to find a drama, but once you find it, it will have been totally worth it.

2. There aren't English subtitles

Dramas from other countries tend to be in other languages. If you aren't fluent in the language of the drama you're watching, then understanding what is going on will be a challenge. English subtitles, are a must, but sometimes the drama you're dying to see doesn't have them. This is an incredibly heartbreaking moment.

3. The subtitles aren't grammatically correct

Sometimes your drama has subtitles but they aren't grammatically correct. This can be just as frustrating as watching the show or movie with no subtitles. You try not to get too upset because the person who subbed it tried their best and you could not have the subtitles in the first place.

4. The quality is terrible

This is especially a problem when watching a drama on YouTube. Sometimes the quality only goes up so high, and even then it's difficult to see what's happening. Much like the subtitles, you don't make a fuss about it because the person who uploaded didn't have to upload it.

5. Waiting for it to be released

Since dramas from other countries are from other countries, it sometimes takes an extra day or two for it to be uploaded in the U.S. it's worth the wait though, especially if it's one that you've been waiting for for a long time. This is usually only the case with series for the most part.

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."

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.
