The Importance of Friends

    When you think of a friend, who comes to mind? Is it someone from your childhood? Could it be your coworker at work? Now that you have thought about who that friend is, why are they your friend? Maybe because they stuck by your side during a hard time? Or you guys just randomly clicked and spontaneously became friends. What makes this friend a friend? What have they done for you? How do they support you and your decisions? Are they truly a good friend? 

    From a very young age, we as humans make friends. Throughout our lives, our friends can change. You can grow out of friends, become distant, or an event can happen that makes you no longer want that person in your day-to-day life. Regardless, at every stage of life, the majority of us have had at least one person to call a friend. So, why is that? What is so important about friends? 

    A good friend makes you feel like you belong. They boost your confidence, make you laugh, and overall just create joy in your life. Friends are there to help you through any time or event in your life, good or bad. They should give you confidence and support. A true friend is there whenever you need them.

    When I think of a friend, I think of my best friend during a rough time in my life which was 7th grade. I had been bullied and kick out of a toxic friend group and no longer had fun going to school, but then a new person came into my life bringing nothing but positivity his name was Sam, we are still friends to this day!

You put the reef on the door, hang the stockings above the fire place, and wrap the garland around the staircase. But when should we do this? When should we transition from fall decorations to Christmas/winter decorations?      Many people say you should start that transition after Thanksgiving. While others make the shift right after Halloween. According to News Nation, after surveying 3,000 Americans, 34% of people decorate before Thanksgiving while 18% wait for the first week of December.       For our family, we usually wait to decorate til mid November and sometimes even after Thanksgiving.     So, when do you decorate for the holidays?

How Young is Too Young?

      Cell Phones.  Everyone has them. Even little kids, as young as six years old, can have one. In 2018, it was recorded that 95% of Americans owned a mobile device of some kind. In 2022, a study found that 86% of the global population owned some sort of cell phone. So, what's the big deal with phones? Why does everyone have one? What's so great about them, anyway?      Last year, I took a job as an assistant teacher in a class of first graders. For those who don't know, first graders consist of 6 to 7 year olds. I would always keep my phone on Do Not Disturb and tucked away in my desk while at work. However, the kids quickly found the "hiding spot" where I kept my phone and became obsessed with trying to get into it. One day, I asked them what was so special about my phone. I mean, it's just a phone, it's not like they could do anything on it, especially since there was a password. All 15 of the students immediately told me that they weren’t allowed...
