The Christmas Invasion

I did like my spring break this year. It wasn’t too short or too long, for it was the perfect amount of time to rest. The week was just great. To start off, one reason I liked my spring break was because I went shopping with my parents. For example, I went to the Plaza Mall and went towards my favorite place to shop at. The place is called Nike. Consequently, I bought shoes, a backpack, and some running gear for myself. This effected me by getting into a joyful and excitement mood. I…

chilling temperatures throughout the week. With a sketchy weather forecast, a little time-out from golf gave some added relief to the upcoming holiday festivities. Speaking of festivities, the 9-hole ladies gathered together to celebrate the annual Christmas Lunch held on December 3rd. We were in awe with the festive holiday table decor, put together by our lovely Suzanne Schmitz. Lori Randall captured our attention during the lunch with a slide show collection of current golf and past golf…

importance of family especially during holidays, the importance of friendships and what makes a healthy relationship, and the most vivid in my life is the student-athlete lifestyle. What comes to your mind when you hear Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Well in my family the number one thing that comes to mind is family and food but the most important one would be family. Family is something that you don’t get to pick but no matter what they do you will always love them. I…

That was it. Officially. The worst Christmas ever. He has been okay with not being able to go home for the holidays. He had been okay with being alone at Christmas in a city he didn't know anybody. He had been okay with not having a fancy dinner, no people he loved, and no presents. He had been okay with it till now. Now he just wanted to get drunk and cry. It was the 24th of December, Christmas. He had forgotten to buy for food for the holidays so he had gone through the city looking for a…

THE CASE On a rainy Thursday evening, as Mr. Pramod Kumar, the AGM-Industrial Relations-TATA Motors, was sipping his cup of tea, he had some unexpected visitors. A five-minute meeting with the visitors turned Mr. Kumar’s day on its head. Ramdas Soren, the local MLA of JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha) in 2013 along with Santosh, the leader of the contract labour union in TATA Motors affiliated to JMM threatened to go on an indefinite strike if their demands remained unmet. Considering the seriousness…

from the Ribera del Duero?”. What's more, according to my experience, the next question tends to concern the price difference. This is why I thought an article would be the ideal opportunity to come back on the topic, especially considering that Christmas is at the door and we should be thinking about which wine to open during the holiday season. The most famous Designations of Origin in Spain and those whose wines sell best are, beyond any doubt, the Rioja and the Ribera del Duero. Their red…

smiling. I played with the johnsons across the street from us. The brother and sister both have the coolest bikes on the block. The smiths who have been on our block forever. longer than anybody actually. Christmas at their house is always amazing every year! They go all out on the lights and the christmas decorations. And also the new neighbors that just moved in the jones. We all had our own bike. So my mom finally told me to come inside at about 8 O’clock for dinner and she said i would…

Assessment Situation The assessment was administered on February 1st, President’s Day. Both Dan and Dan’s mom were off that day, because of the holiday and so it was an ideal time to meet. I visited him at his home to administer the test. I chose to administer the test in the afternoon because it fit well with Dan’s schedule and Dan would not be tired. Dan is a close family friend and therefore Dan was not nervous while talking to me. I introduced the assessment like a game. In addition, I told…

Everyone can already feel the Christmas Holiday spirit rushing and the December breeze caressing their cheeks. We are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the…

I am of course old enough to remember when festivals still retain a whiff of their alternative roots. How far have we travelled from those calm, peaceful tranquil and lens flared days. The meaning of carnival has changed dramatically over the period of time. Carnival has always been and would continue to be the show for the elite in society. In many parts of the world where Catholic Europeans set up colonies and entered into the slave trade carnival took root. Carnival, an annual…
