The Best Show about Pranks
Out of the many tv shows that my sister could put me on, a show that took me by surprise was a show about these 4 guys who pull pranks on each other and in public. Impractical Jokers is by far one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. It’s about these 4 guys (Sal, Q, Murr, and Joe) who challenge each other to do dares in public, and the person to lose the most challenges has to do a final “punishment” at the end.

My NYC Spring Break Trip Recap
Originally I was supposed to go to Cancun with 30+ brothers in my fraternity, but sadly I wasn’t able to afford the trip from my semester expenses.

On Friday, our first night in NYC, we started the evening at a sports bar having burgers and watching NBA and tennis games. After, we went on a liquor run to…

Why Karma From League of Legends Has A Perfect Name
Karma, from Hinduism and Buddhism, refers to the cycle of cause and effect or more commonly, “you reap what you sow”. In the popular game League of Legends, Karma is portrayed as a powerful mage champion who uses both magic and spiritual energy to attack and defend her allies and enemies. Her abilities are closely tied to the concept of karma, as her actions can either heal or harm others, depending on the situation. The developers at Riot Games likely chose the name Karma for this champion to reflect her abilities and thematic elements, as well as to draw on the cultural significance of the concept of karma.

My Neighbor Totoro, The Cutest Comfort Movie
As a very big movie person, I have seen many movies in my lifetime, but there are a select few movies that I would call a comfort movie of mine. Out of all the movies I considered to be my comfort movies, I think my favorite one would have to be My Neighbor Totoro. Honestly, I would probably say any Studio Ghibli movie could easily be a comfort movie of mine, but there’s something about the calmness of the movie that gives me that comforting feeling.
