Christmas break is the best!

Why Christmas break is much needed.

For most students, getting through the last month of school before Christmas break is very painful. Most of us are probably walking zombies dragging ourselves around from the countless nights spent staying up late studying.

You have the fake Christmas break (Thanksgiving) where, at the end of, homework is still due. Fake Christmas break gives you a taste of what a real break will feel like and boy, does it feel good. Then there is the last few weeks of scrambling all of your knowledge together to gather your senses for finals. By this time in the semester most students probably have already thought about why they are doing school, what they are doing with their life, or dropping out because of all the stress that comes with finals and college life.

Once finals are done a huge burden is lifted off the shoulders of every student and it is time for winter break. Winter break allows us students to recover and have a good mental break from the all the stresses of finals and assignments. It allows us to relax and spend time with family, which is very important. Another thing it allows for us to do is let our livers take a little break, if you know what I mean.

All those assignments, exams, and quizzes take a toll on our brains, so by the time December rolls around our brains are stew. Most of us need Christmas break to get away from those hard assignments or 20 page essays because some people are one assignment away from having a mental breakdown. Others, maybe ten assignments past a mental breakdown... Whichever it may be, do not worry, everything will be alright. It is nice to spend the holidays with family and get in the Christmas spirit as well. It will be nice to have a home cooked meal once again... Some of the best times with family are often spent during the holidays. Catching up with family feels so good when you have not seen them for a while. Some students might have partied a little too much or drank a lot because of all the stress, so our livers will thank us greatly over the month long winter break. That is unless you do not stop the partying when you get home.


For the students that are past the mental breakdown, only a few more weeks until finals are over and Christmas is here, so hang in there. If you are thinking about pulling your hair out, don't, it is not worth it because that hair is needed for family Christmas pictures. The much needed winter break is right around the corner, so hang in there and get A's on finals.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
