We all need to take a break.

Some Thoughts Besides The U.S. Election
Wallpapers High Quality

It's been a chaotic time with the U.S. Election. There's been so much to think, say, do and I admire all the effort and involvement that's being taken in to the affairs and current events.

However, amidst all the noise, there's a lot of stress and overwhelming emotion. I feel the best thing to do is to try and step back for awhile. Take a break and relax. Do what you enjoy or something that you have been putting off for awhile. Go read a book, take a walk in a park, exercise, or find a new hobby! Compared to the entire observable universe, the issue of politics and current affairs are petty.

If we are concerned about every little thing that centers around our lives, we should also be concerned about the sun eventually dying out and becoming a supernova that will wipe out humanity, climate change and asteroids that could cause humans to be extinct.

My point is that there is no point in dwelling on so many things, especially things we have no control over. I think there is so much frustration, anger, stress, confusion and negativity in general that is building up all over the world. What people need to realize is that we are all on this planet Earth (that is heating up) together. In order to be significant, we need to be significant to each other. I hope to see a world where there is more positivity and happiness while being involved in the current affairs and issues.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
