BREAKING THE DIGITAL ADDICTION: HOW TO USE YOUR PHONE ONLY FOR THE IMPORTANT
STUFF

IT'S ALL TOO EASY TO FALL INTO THE CYCLE OF GAMING AND SCROLLING THROUGH SOCIAL
MEDIA ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYTHING IS SO ACCESSIBLE.


Natalia Alexandros

Companies behind these platforms employ the use of algorithms and targeted
content in order to increase viewer retention but you can break the cycle. Break
free from digital addiction and take back control of your productivity. Here are
a few tips for you to make healthier habits when it comes to using your phone.




DON'T CHARGE YOUR PHONE IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE

Perhaps having a short battery life is the key to growing our self control, but
no matter how good your phone is, many smartphones aren't able to be used for
more than 24 hours, making charging essential. Take this opportunity to put your
phone away and make it inaccessible for that short period of time. You can
charge your phone in the kitchen on a short cable, or in the study. While you're
waiting for your phone to charge up, you might start reading actual books and
creating better habits. While there are suggestions not to put your phone in
your bedroom to charge, the truth is that our phones are multipurpose devices
that also double up as our alarm clock. If you are charging your phone in your
room, put it on a short cable that makes it uncomfortable to use while charging,
such as using a socket near the floor.








BE AWARE OF YOUR URGES

Sometimes we check our phones due to a lull in activity. It could be when we've
just gotten home from work, browsing through a step by step guide on how to get
a golden nugget during lunch break, or most commonly (and most destructively) at
bedtime. Forcing yourself to be aware of these feelings can help you use your
device with more purpose. You don't really need to check Instagram while between
meetings at work. You don't have to watch TikTok till you fall asleep.


KEEP TRACK OF HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPEND ON EACH APP

Perhaps one of the most useful ways to quit a bad habit is to fully recognize
how destructive it is. You can install apps onto your phone that tracks how much
time you spend a day on each application and how often you log on. Knowing
exactly how much time you spend on each individual app may give you the wake up
call you need in order to change your habits.


IF IT'S NOT WORKING FOR YOU, YOU DON'T NEED IT

Think about it this way, if an app isn't adding value to your life and you're
spending lots of time on it, it's essentially eating into your productivity and
you should consider that it's time to do away with it. If you find that you are
wasting too much time on Facebook or any application that isn't productive to
you or your work, you can choose to hide or delete it to make it harder for you
to access the platform and hence minimizing your time on it.

WHAT GAMES SHOULD LEARN FROM FILMS

MOST MODERN GAMES TRY TO EMULATE THE FILM INDUSTRY, BUT THEY OFTEN TAKE THE
WRONG LESSONS FROM IT.


Nathan Rohe
17h
Lindenwood University

YouTube.com

When you hear a lot of game developers and publishers talk about their games one
word often pops up, "cinematic". They often use the word "cinematic" in a very
nebulous and vague way that doesn't really reference a certain quality or aspect
found within film. However, when you look at these games they all share mostly
one aspect of film that is a staple of blockbuster films, scale. These games try
to be as big and bombastic as the largest Hollywood blockbuster, but is this the
lesson they should take from film?



When games often say they are trying to emulate film they often mean that they
are either trying to emulate the large scale action and spectacle of blockbuster
films or the powerful storytelling of dialog filled dramas, and games have been
more successful with the former than the latter. Games like Call of Duty or
Assassin's Creed use the massive budgets they are given to create action heavy
thrill rides, however I often come out of these experiences not remembering much
about the plot or characters. These games (like many if I'm being honest) lack a
lot of the narrative weight and character depth.







On the other hand, many games that try to emulate the story and tone of serious
dramas are often not written well enough to meet the standards of the films they
are copying, which makes them come across as pretentious. Games like Heavy Rain
and Beyond: Two Souls think that they are these deep explorations of depression
or the human condition, but they have surprisingly shlocky moments and
characters that think always sounding serious is the same thing as having a deep
personality. This often leads to a lot of supposedly emotional scenes falling
flat.

These are just a handful of examples, but they all emphasize the core problem.
Video games trying to emulate cinema know what great films look and sound like,
but they have a very surface level understanding as to why. I know it's only a
matter of time and, in many respects, video game writing has improved since the
early days, but I believe games can do better. More emphasis should be put on
things like memorable characters, with rich and engaging personalities. Some of
the most memorable characters in film, such as Luke Skywalker, have distinct
identities but also carry a hidden depth beneath them. Luke is a whiny farm boy,
but he matures over the course of the films and confronts dark aspects of
himself, such as his lineage.

As I said before, games have been improving over the last few years, but they
still have a long ways to go. They have a grasp on what good films look like,
but they still need to go deeper when it comes to how good stories feel. Modern
games need more unique and defined characters that carry a plot with themes that
reflect our world in an honest way. Games can learn a lot from film, but it has
to be the right lesson.

6 GOALS FOR MY SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE

HERE'S TO GROWING AND ENCOURAGING THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.


Nan Hayes
18 August
The Narrative

Photo by Elijah M. Henderson on Unsplash

With the end of my freshman year and the soon-to-be start of my sophomore year,
I've recently been looking back on what I accomplished in my first year of
college and what I've learned from both my mistakes and my successes. My
freshmen year was a wonderful mess of growth and change, filled with new
friendships, new life lessons, and a new love for microwave ready ramen. This
list is a list of goals or hopes for myself for this upcoming school year that
will help me improve on my daily life, as well as my general college
experiences. It's important to note that these goals aren't necessarily specific
to every college sophomore, but they certainly are to me.




1. FIND THE PERFECT STUDY SPOT.

As any college student knows, studying can make or break you, and a big part of
studying well or studying successfully is all about the environment you do it
in. I'm lucky enough like many college students to have a beautiful college
campus, one with many nooks and crannies perfect for podcast listening or
flashcard drills. Sometimes college students like myself can fall into the trap
of attempting to study, sleep, and socialize all in the same place - our dorm
rooms. I've noticed that this is certainly ineffective when it comes to actively
studying or even relaxing. So while I'll get the chance to explore and get to
know my campus a little better, I will also hopefully find a study spot that can
help me feel both comfortable and productive, just by being in the right spot.
Maybe I'll find the perfect napping corner, too!








2. PRIORITIZE MY MENTAL HEALTH.

One thing I discovered my freshman year is that mental health is the real deal
and is just as important a part of a person as their physical health. I did also
realize that those two can be especially linked, just as healthy eating can
impact and be incorporated into exercising well. Mental health is a pretty big
spectrum for a goal, so I suppose I'll specify just a little more - to rest.
Appreciating rest and making time for it not only when it's drastically needed,
but in average daily life routines. I'll rest by prioritizing sleep and making
time for technology breaks and school studying breaks, but also by taking the
time to just sit sometimes and absorb the world around me.


3. INCORPORATE MORE TIME MANAGEMENT.

As any busy college student, or frankly person in general, the busier you are,
the more things can start to feel a little bit out of control. By the end of my
freshman year I had gone through more than the average number of college
credits, taken on two leadership roles, and joined over five clubs… all at once!
While this definitely was a great experience, it also was a very busy one with
very little sleep involved. For my sophomore year, I want to focus a little more
on prioritizing what's really important and managing those priorities in an
organized fashion, most likely with a color coded planner incorporated, of
course.








4. KEEP A BUDGET.

This goal was one I had for my freshman year as well, but again, it feels too
important to not have and keep up with. Money is a big part of school,
pertaining to classes, housing, food, books, and the occasional Netflix
subscription. Budgeting last year felt overwhelming at times. After wading
through the many resources of books, podcasts, Youtube videos, and app referrals
on app referrals, I finally figured out a budget that works for me. My goal is
to keep up with my budget, and even if there are little mess ups, or fall
behinds, I'll stick it out.

5. Learn to say "No."

This goal, depending on how you look at it, can have just as much impact on
mental health as exercise or healthy rest, and it certainly does with me.
Sometimes saying the word "no" and knowing when and how to use it can be like
trying to speak another language, and it is nowhere near as simple as French
101. "No," is a powerful word and an impactful one. It can mean the difference
between a dinner out with friends or a few extra hours studying. It can also
mean a lighter load of responsibilities in a club on campus or a study group for
chemistry. I certainly struggle with saying no to myself sometimes when I might
add just a little too much to my plate, but I also struggle with using it
against others and thus can sometimes make myself the always ready volunteer.
However, just like prioritizing rest and my mental health, I also need to
prioritize saying "No," and knowing that by saying "No" it translates to a "Yes"
for myself - yes to less all nighters, yes to healthier meals, yes to more time
for myself and lazy minded Netflix binges, and yes to my priorities staying my
priorities. Maybe by saying "No," to some things, I also learn the right times
to say "Yes."








6. NURTURE IMPORTANT FRIENDSHIPS.

My sophomore year goals all seem to pertain to a similar theme, especially this
one. My freshman year was all about trying new things and exploring the brand
new world of college. This year my goals are a little more minded in the
direction of growing and encouraging the things I found and discovered to be
important to me. Friendships and relationships can be hard and they can require
a lot of time and effort, but the right ones definitely deserve it. This last
year, I found some truly wonderful people and I also found an even greater
appreciation for people already in my life. This year I want to take the time
for those friendships and relationships, like a two way street. I know those
people on the other end will too, because true friendships and great
relationships go both ways.


BONUS: COOK SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF THE MICROWAVE… LIKE IN AN OVEN.

With a list full of recognizing and growing the things I found to love, maybe
for this year I could still add at least one goal that's a little newness
themed. I could even learn to cook something, that is other than ramen… But
again, who knows, there's always junior year!

7 LESSONS I'VE LEARNED FROM HAVING A TIGHT-NIT FAMILY

MY FAMILY IS CLOSE. I LOVE IT.


Grace McLaughlin
18 August
The Narrative

I am someone who prides myself on being close to their family.



My family is everything to me, and I enjoy every second that I get to spend with
them. I am lucky to have two parents who have been happily married for
twenty-nine years and have done everything in their power to give my sisters and
me a charming happy life. Both my parents grew up as only children, and because
of that, they knew how important it was to give their children siblings. My
parents also understood the importance of spending time with their children,
whether that was dropping them off at school or taking family vacations.

I know I am loved every day.

I was also lucky enough to have my great-grandma always in my life as someone
who watched us when our parents couldn't. I am also forever grateful to my
sisters who were always there as role models and best friends. My one sister
Christy, despite being six years older than me, has always been my best friend.
She always made time to watch D-Coms, play American Girl Dolls, obsess over pop
stars, and hang out with me whenever I wanted. Growing up with this great
support system taught me many lessons and made my life easier.







Here are 7 lessons that I have learned from having such a close family.




1. FAMILY IS MORE THAN JUST DNA

Family consists of those who have done things for you and what you have done for
them. Family is showing that you care for them and why you care for them. It's
showing up to all your school functions or bringing your parents lunch. It's
showing up not only when necessary, but because you want to.


2. SAYING "I LOVE YOU" MATTERS.

My parents and sisters tell me they love me every day. There has never been a
day in my life where I haven't heard that I am loved and it is one of the things
I am so grateful for in life. Many people don't get the privilege of hearing "I
love you" from their loved ones, which is why I treasure those words every time
I hear them - even if it's for the billionth time.


3. LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING.

One thing that my parents taught me early on is to be loyal to your loved ones,
especially to your family. Loyalty is always putting your family's needs and
interests first before others, even your own desires. It's standing by their
side through all the rough times and defending them when needed. It's always
having your own small army always ready to defend.


4. NEVER BE EMBARRASSED BY YOUR FAMILY.

As a kid, I use to be embarrassed about how involved my family was in my life.
As an adult, I realize how lucky I was to have them showing up to everything.
This is why now I'm always pointing out my parents or sisters to my friends. I
am also always open to how much we communicate and how much time we spend with
each other.








5. YOUR FAMILY IS HUMAN, TOO.

One thing that I also learned is how important it is to realize that your family
members are people, too. It's important to realize that they aren't perfect.
They will say things that might hurt you in fights or might forget about things
sometimes. In the end, they are people, too. No one is perfect, especially your
family.


6. MAKE SURE TO SET ASIDE TIME TO BE TOGETHER AND APART.

It is very important to have boundaries with every relationship, including those
with your family. This is why it's important to set time apart to watch shows
that you enjoy and do things that you enjoy. It is also important to set time
that you spend with your family especially if you live with them because you
don't want it to feel like you just living there in passing.


7. EVERY FAMILY IS DIFFERENT.

Just because these lessons are ones that I use every day doesn't mean they will
work for your family or your future family. Every family is different, and some
families are chosen. Even with your given family, you have to actively choose to
love and be part of that family.

WHAT LOVE REALLY IS

BY: SUMMER WALKER


summerwalker
18 August

If you thought I was going to be writing and telling exactly what love is, I'm
sorry to disappoint. Because the truth is, do we even know what love is? Why do
we love? Why do we connect love to people, places, objects, etc? Why do we all
respond to love so different? Why does love exist if we fail at it so much?
Thoughts like these run through my head on a daily basis and to be honest, I
really don't have the answers to any of them. I have thoughts however, and I'm
wondering who feels the same.



So whats love? Is it your family? Your significant other? Your favorite place?
Your pet? Why do you love people, objects and places differently? Why isn't all
love the same kind of love? Well thats because love is complex. Love is hard. At
least thats what I've gathered, but honestly, what do I know?







Love is intimidating. Its harsh. You never know what to expect because people
are different and people FAIL. We all fail at it all the time. Just when we
think we got it all figured out, here we go messing it all up. Love is hard.
Loving is hard. Being loved is hard. Ive always heard it doesn't have to be but
the truth is when isn't it? you can love someone or something with everything in
you knowing that they/it could be snatched away from you at any giving moment.
THAT IS HARD.

Then theres the people like me who have convinced themselves that its suppose to
always be hard. You're suppose to settle. You're suppose to allow whatever to
happen whenever because you've told yourself that its going to be hard anyways.
But see, I never said it was always suppose to FEEL hard. Theres those times
when its the easiest thing you've ever done. Its something that comes fast and
smooth and makes you feel like you are on top of the world. That kind of love
does exist too. Most of us know it. Even if its the kind of love that is
ultimately the worst kind… we know that on cloud 9 feeling. So why doesn't it
stay that way? Why does it fail? If it fails was it never love in the first
place? That seems a little dramatic to me, because if it wasnt suppose to fail
then why did it? is it us or was love ultimately meant to fail?

So what is love? Is it settling for something all because of the love and
nothing else? Is it wanting better for yourself? Is it the people and things
you've encountered? what is it? I've been trying to finish this article for
months but always seemed to get stuck, but i figured out why I haven't been able
to finish. For me, I learned what love was once i let it go. I took some of the
strongest love I had for a person and I let it go. Why? because I loved me more.
Yeah I might have realized it was going to be hard anyways but if it was going
to be hard then it definitely had to be worth it.. and sometimes, I'm just
simply worth more. So theres your answer.. what is love? Its what you make it.
Its all in your hands at the end of the day. Its exactly what you want it to be.
So make the best of this crazy, HARD, complex feeling.

5 LESSONS EVERY COLLEGE FRESHMAN NEEDS TO KNOW, FROM SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN THERE

IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK.


Olivia Myers
18 August
The Narrative

Photo by Brooke Cagle on Unsplash

As summer winds down, I've been reflecting on the fact that I am no longer a
freshman. It's crazy.



This past year has flown by, and I cannot believe that one year ago I was a ball
of nerves as I waited to embark on this new adventure. Within this last year, I
have learned some very important things. I honesty wish that I knew these things
before I started college, but hey, life is all about growing. Take these five
lessons to heart as you head into college this year.


1. BE KIND TO YOURSELF.

As my second semester of freshman year started, I felt grounded. I was a part of
two organizations and I had made so many friends, but the thing that I realized
is that you have to be kind to yourself. This means different things to
different people. As for me, I had to learn how to care for myself. Again, this
also sounds crazy, but it is true. You need to be able to do something for
yourself. I learned to treat myself to something on my Amazon list every so
often. Every few weeks, I would purchase something small (no more than about
$13) to celebrate something. Sometimes, I purchased a piece of jewelry to
celebrate the fact that I had gotten my all of my work done before Thursday.
Other times, I would celebrate the fact that half the semester was over. Either
way, it is important to do things for you, whether that is buying yourself
something small or taking some time to do something that you love to do. These
small things allow for you to be kind to yourself.








2. THERE IS SO MUCH JOY IN LITTLE MOMENTS.

Life is full of little moments. The unfortunate thing is that we forget to savor
these moments. We often focus in on the big things things, like the things that
take up the most time and the things that mean to most to us. This mentality
often makes us chase these big moments when we really should be focusing on the
small things. When we chase the big moments we miss the small moments, or as I
like to call them the seemingly insignificant moments. These moments can be
filled with so much joy if we stop and slow down. Joy is not about being happy
all the time - it is about choosing to be happy even when life gets crappy. When
we slow down and choose to enjoy the small moments, we find joy.


3. YOU CANNOT CHASE PEACE.

I love peace. In fact, I spent so much of my time trying to find it because I
hate feeling anxious. As one of my friends pointed out, peace cannot be found in
the chaos. When we try to chase peace, we will never find it because peace is
found by being away from the chaos. It is so hard to step back from things, but
I knew that I needed peace and because of that I knew I was able to find peace
when I slowed down. When I decided to take time to just sit and to be still, I
found the peace I craved. Now this is a hard lesson to learn, and it took my a
whole year to learn this. If you are also struggling with finding peace, take
some time to just be still. I like to just sit in my car and listen to music. I
also like to sit on the outside of a room and watch everyone else. These are
only some of the ways that I find peace amidst the chaos.








4. IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK.

You've probably heard this one before, and if you are anything like me, you've
completely disregarded this. I'm here to tell you to be broken. This has been
one of the hardest lessons to learn because I believed that I had to be perfect.
I thought that if I told people about the messy things in my life that I would
end up burdening others. However, being in community with others means walking
with them and allowing them to help you when you need it. It is ok to show up
and not be ok. There is something truly wonderful when you are able to let
others help you. One important thing to remember is that they will not know
something is wrong unless you tell them. When you show up to your community be
honest and if you are not doing well, make sure that you share that with them.


5. DO NOT DO EVERYTHING.

College is a great time to get involved and to try new things, but don't do
everything. I love to hang out with my friends and every time that they want to
do something, I always said yes unless I had another obligation. I also was a
part of two organizations that took a decent about of time each week. Since I
was alway saying yes to my friends, it caused me to say no to other things like
my school work. Doing this landed me in a very rough spot. I ended up almost
failing one of my classes. The other thing that I found out was that I did not
have enough time for everything. It is super important to try new things and to
hang out with your friends however sometimes you will need to say no and that's
not bad. Also don't forget to take time to rest and to do something that fills
up your cup.

HOW TO CHOOSE AN ELECTRIC BIKE

A NEW MOVEMENT, WHICH ENCOURAGES THE USE OF BIKES INSTEAD OF CARS, HAS BEEN
GAINING MORE AND MORE STRENGTH IN OUR COUNTRY. AFTER ALL, BIKES ARE ECONOMICAL,
ECOLOGICAL MEANS OF TRANSPORT THAT DON'T OBSTRUCT PUBLIC SPACE AS CARS DO.

A new movement, which encourages the use of bikes instead of cars, has been
gaining more and more strength in our country. After all, bikes are economical,
ecological means of transport that don't obstruct public space as cars do.
Because of this, electric bikes – or motorized, or even e-bikes – are gaining
more and more followers.



City halls in several cities are seeking to increase the reach of bike paths and
stores specializing in bikes and accessories are multiplying.

But choosing the bicycle as the main means of transportation may not be entirely
convenient: after all, there are always steep stretches, which make pedaling
unfeasible for non-athletes. And no one wants to get to work all sweaty first
thing in the morning.

Choosing the Right Electric Bike for You

The fundamental step is to know what will be the main purpose of your electric
bike: daily commuting or leisure?







This way you can trace an imaginary route in your mind, and move on to the next
question: what terrain will you encounter on the route?

If your focus is on climbing hills, you'll need a bike with more power. If you
need to travel long distances, your attention will be on its autonomy, on the
number of kilometers its battery will be able to support. But whatever your
choice, you have to deal with a reputable electric bike manufacturer.

But when your motorcycle has rides as its purpose, don't compromise on comfort.

Also, assess whether you will need to carry luggage, as luggage compartments
such as baskets or trunks will be needed.

Different Powers of the Motorized Bike

- 180 to 250 Watts: for constant speed and flatter rides. You can ride together
to increase your bike's performance.

- 350 Watts: courses a little more bumpy – or flat, but where you don't intend
to eventually help by pedalling.

- 600 Watts: designed for steeper climbs and more weight. On flat courses your
speed is higher – so be careful.

Electric Bike Activation Systems

With the Pedelec system you start your journey pedaling, and a sensor activates
the engine when the bike reaches a certain speed. You don't stop pedaling, you
just gain extra speed. In some countries, gyro sensors are more used, as they
are cheaper than the Pedelec system – but they work in the same way.

There are also TAG (Twist and Go) bikes that have manual throttles, similar to
those on motorcycles, or thumb-type accelerators, activated with a squeeze of
the thumb. Here, pedaling is totally dispensed with. Another option is bikes
with mixed acceleration systems, where the cyclist can choose to activate the
movement with pedaling or automatic acceleration.

Battery Types for Electric Bikes







The choice of battery is essential, as it influences the performance you need
and the final cost of your e-bike.

There are two types of batteries to turbo your bike: lead and lithium.

Battery autonomy varies between 20 and 60 kilometers, depending on the total
weight of the bike, the rider, the terrain to be covered and the speed.

Lead Battery

They resemble car batteries. They are heavier, weighing about 10 kilos or more,
increasing the total weight of your bike and impacting your speed, which becomes
smaller. However, they are cheaper and more easily found on the market.

Lead-acid batteries last 300 to 400 full cycles, meaning they can be recharged
300 to 400 times. After that they must be replaced. They take six to eight hours
to recharge and, because they are heavy, they are attached to the bike. You need
to take it in one piece to the nearest outlet. You will always need to recharge
the lead battery, even if it still has some energy in it, otherwise it might
fail.

Lithium Battery

They are much lighter, weighing from one to four kilos. They are also more
durable, reaching 800 cycles. In addition, their recharge time is shorter,
taking two to four hours to be fully powered again. They can be taken off the
bike to recharge.

Lithium batteries can be completely used up until they are recharged again –
they don't lose energy as easily as lead batteries do. However, they cost 40%
more.

There are still some other things to consider but what has been discussed above
is the most important basis in choosing your electric bike.
