Here is something nifty.

All About Project Implicit
Roman Dritts

I heard about this test last semester while reading the White Working Class and decided to check it out. Project Implicit deals with identifying people’s thoughts and feelings outside of their control. There is not one person on the planet that is free from bias, and yet we are quick to say that we are not. How often have you heard someone say that they aren’t racist or sexist? They may not be deliberately biased, but that gets down to the nitty gritty of Project Implicit. The point is that people do not believe that they carry prejudice around with them, but they so often do. The Project asks that people recognize that they may carry bias and seeks to identify where the bias lies.

The site now has three sections with multiple tests in each section: social attitudes, mental health, and the featured task (the presidential candidates). The tests within the social attitude range from race, religion, gender, and religions, among many others. Each tests measure goes through a series of pictures and words, looking at automatic preferences people hold toward specific topics. These tests are so important in seeing where you sit on the issues, even if you think there is not an issue. The mental health tests work to identity your reactions towards different mental disorders and people with those illnesses. I find this section to be interesting as society begins speaking more about mental health issues.

All you need to do is take ten to fifteen minutes out of your day to go take a test. Be honest and see where you fall for different issues and then consider the analysis of the test. You might be surprised at your results.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
