Spring Break

Oh yes! It's that time of the year. The days are longer and the sun is shining. So it's time for spring break. Too bad we don't have one. Yes the life of living at BYU. I love this school so much and I do see a reason that there is no spring break but come on it's college. My spring break dream for this year is to drive to California and just relax for a week. It doesn't make a difference to me that we don't have a spring break because of the fact that we are competing throughout this whole semester. I love California so much and I've only been there three times now. Every time was an experience worth having. This is why I think we should have spring break or at least a four day weekend. It gives us times as students to catch up on work, gives us time to relax and the availability to rejuvenate to finish the semester. Spring break is a must.

March Madness

Awe the time of the year were basketball is taken serious. The NBA is in the final stretch of the season and well of course the race to a NCAA championship is underway. Its great! Three weeks of nothing but basketball. It the time when people actually care about college basketball. It's what we call bracket season. Selection sunday when we find out who make the NCAA tournament and then monday as the brackets are printed off. Office pools, friendly competitions, or maybe just for yourself to see if you can predict a champion. I love this season but I usually follow sports. What I find amusing is that people who don't care just get into this time to watch sports and they talk about who's better not know one statistic about a player, club, or coach. I thinks it's okay to talk as long as you know what's going on but when people are rambling because of what they heard it takes away form the sport.

Trillion Dollar Debt!

Why are we in a recession? It because of credit! Credit debt is in the trillions. It increases so much that every minute the total rises by thousands. So why the recession. In our great depression that we fell into was because of credit. People were borrowing money and they weren't able to pay it back. You know the term "History repeats itself." Well it looks like it's happening again. Many people have substantial credit card debt and are unable to pay it off. The reason we slipped into this recession was because of the housing situation. When people were borrowing money from banks and were unable to pay it back. Foreclosures occurred and with the delicate balance that we have. It left the economy unstable. How do we get out of this recession. Is it trough our leaders, president, governors, local politicians? Simple, we create jobs and then spark the economy but first and foremost we have to get out of this war. Recession, yea, but we put ourselves in that situation.

Video Games: Good or Bad?

The world as we see it is changing. Video games are becoming more integrated in our lives as we integrate technology more and more. When people think of video games the first thing that come to their mind is a waste of time. In some cases this may be true but what people don't realize is that the gaming world isn't all that bad. Video gaming may be considered a hobby. That is people do it for fun or even professionally. It may be considered bad at this point because there are people who spend 8 to 10 hours on a couch playing this games. It leads to overweigh and health problems. The other had that encompasses gaming are instructional games. Little kids use games that help them learn rather then waste time. Games like these or gaming in moderation is very useful in the health of a person in a society where technology is taking over.
