Why You NEED to Vote!
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

As you all may know we are entering the tail end of the 2016 presidential election, which will determine the 45th president of the United States. This election has been nothing more than a roller coaster ride. The debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has been quite the......lets just say experience, and we've been right in the middle of it. A lot of voters don't know whether to vote for Clinton or Trump, or either don't want to vote for Trump and is stuck all together. Well I'm here to tell you why you need to vote.

You need to vote because this election determines the very outlook of the country. I'm not going to discriminate nor say who I'm voting for, but I will say that one candidate seems to be more for the job. In order to be commander in chief for the position of president of these United States, you must be acquit and have some order of what you are going to do. I'm telling you the reader to get out and vote for the person you feel will lead this country to a safe path.

Another thing I would take in hand is of course your family. Which candidate do you feel is comfortable for taking care of your family. Over the past 4 years President Barack Obama has created over 15 million jobs, but even he will say that we have a bunch of work to do. Some citizens feel that nothing has been done in the fact of impacting their life or their neighborhood. So as citizens of the US we must elect a president who has family values and who will take the White House to new heights.

One more reason I feel you should get out and vote is the fact of our safety. As we all know a lot of stuff has been going on such as police brutality, gun violence, killings, etc. Now both candidates for the job have been tested when it comes to these sensitive subjects, but I can't stress enough how much one of them I would be just afraid if they were in power. This is a democracy not a dictatorship, that's all I'm going to say.

Go out and vote ladies and gentlemen, this election is very important and every vote matters. This election be apart of history and vote for the candidate you feel that will lead this country in the right path. Especially to my fellow citizens in North Carolina, I believe we've taken enough L's this year. Early voting is now currently going on, make a difference and mark your name in history.

"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.
