How to relax during the holidaysKELLY SLOAN

Staff Writer

Stress builds throughout the semester, so when that last fi nal is fi nished, forget about it. Find time to relax and enjoy things that aren’t school related. Your goal should be to relax during winter break and unwind. Here are some helpful tips on how to enjoy your time away from school and focus on yourself.

SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY Being away from friends and family when going to school out of state can be tough emotionally for some college students. When you are home for winter break, enjoy the time you have with those you love. You will be back to school soon enough.

DISCONNECT FROM PHONE OR EMAIL Constantly checking your phone and email can distract you from relaxing. Turn them off, and turn on to you.

SPEND TIME OUTDOORS A great way to decompress and relax is to see one of Hawai‘i’s many beaches. Try a hike or visit one of the local waterfalls. You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

GET PLENTY OF SLEEP The amount of sleep lost during the semester on studying and staying up late can now be found this win-ter break. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night so you feel refreshed and ready for Christmas festivities.

CLEAR YOUR MIND Focusing on multiple topics can be mentally exhaust-ing. During the holiday break, fi nd a good book, catch up on a fun TV series or see a movie. Taking a break from the stress of daily college life is necessary. Taking a well-deserved break can relieve stress and get you ready for the next semester.

With the holidays around the corner, preparation is key to prevent-ing shoppers from feeling over-whelmed. Here are some tips for a calm holiday season. Waiting until the last minute to buy Christmas presents is a com-mon rookie mistake. According to an article by Retail Industry, the busiest day last year in the U.S. for Macy’s and Wal-Mart was Dec. 23. Target’s busiest day was Dec. 24. The busiest shopping day last year for Best Buy was on Super Saturday, the last Saturday be-fore Christmas. Going shopping during rush hour is also a bad idea. For those who have large gaps between classes, go shopping during that time. Avoid long lines by staying away from the mall during peak hours such as noon or late after-noon. Shopping online can also be an alternative for those who don’t want to deal with the holiday rush. According to Retail Industry, the IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark indicates that sales online last year increased by 22.4 percent on Christmas Day, compared to the online sales on Christmas in 2011. If you do decide to go shop-ping, don’t step foot into the mall unless you’re absolutely ready. This is not the time to browse. Have a game plan and know what stores you want to hit fi rst. Also, come with a shopping list to save time. Have an idea of what you want to buy so you’re not walking around the store aimlessly. You also shouldn’t come to the mall assum-ing you’ll fi nd everything on your holiday gift list. Having a back-up plan can be helpful in case a par-ticular item you want suddenly sells out. Call the store location ahead of time to make sure that the gift you want is still in stock. Another tip to remember is to do your Internet research so you have an idea of how much money you’ll be spending. Set a cap for yourself so you don’t overspend on items that you could’ve gotten cheaper somewhere else.

Whether you care about the en-vironment, mindful shopping during the holidays will save you money and can lead to more thoughtful, creative gifts for the holidays. You’ll end the year with more savings and a happier earth.

DO IT YOURSELF The fi rst step to holiday shop-ping is to see what you can make by yourself. Too often, we buy things that are simple and easy to make. There are endless websites teaching you how to make virtually anything on your own without having to buy a thing. Pinterest has great ideas for DIY gifts. Did you know you can melt

crayons into a glass jar to make a candle? The colored wax allows you to make candles of different colors.

SCRAP THE WRAPPING PAPER Give gifts in a reusable bag that you have around the house so it can continue to be used and passed on. You can also use news-paper as wrapping paper for a nice, unique look (the comics sec-tion is always a fun page to use). Another alternative is to convert a T-shirt you don’t want into a bag. First, turn your shirt inside out. Cut off the sleeves and neckline to make the straps and opening of the bag; from the bottom of the shirt, cut vertical 2 inch strips about 1 inch apart and double knot each set of strips together. Flip the bag

and voila. Visit snapguide.com/guides/make-a-tote-bag-from-an-old-t-shirt-no-sewing/ for a guide.

BARTERING IS THE FUTURE Bartering is when you trade a good or service for another good or service – no money allowed. This type of “shopping” is a growing trend. With bartering, the options are endless. You can trade yoga les-sons for a camera or gardening work for an ukulele. You can even grow your own food and trade it for a nice dinner in town. Craigslist offers a bartering site for people nearby who may have some-thing you want or to post your own offer. Go to honolulu.craigslist.org/bar/ to barter for the holidays. Fresh Cafe also hosts Barter Bar

every third Thursday from 7-10 p.m. Local businesses, entrepreneurs, farmers and many others join this event to trade their goods and ser-vices. Perfect for the holidays.

COUPONS A great gift idea is to make cou-pons that can be redeemed for a home-cooked meal, an evening of babysitting or a picnic at the beach. Coupons are a great way to save money and show your holiday spirit all year round.

ONLY GOT $20 IN YOUR POCKET? As Macklemore has turned thrift store shopping into a popular con-cept, it’s a perfect time to check out your local thrift stores to shop for gently used gifts instead of new ones. Thrift shopping is better for your wal-

let and for the planet. You can do a Yelp search for local thrift stores and check out one near you.

HARNESS THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT Last but not least, the holidays are all about sharing and kindness, so this holiday season, consider giving a symbolic gift by donating to your favorite nonprofi t on be-half of your friends and loved ones. Some nonprofi ts even offer a holi-day guide to package your dona-tion with a physical gift. This is also the season to donate to food drives and to programs that provide families in need with basic gifts like clothes and house-hold goods. Get in the spirit of giving, and spread the aloha this holiday season.

The holidays are stressful: finals, awkward social gather-ings and obligatory gift giv-ing. Who said you can’t be lazy and in love? Here are four gift ideas to create, personalize or simply pick up holiday cheer to satisfy your gift giving duties.

KITS The kit is a controversial gift. If you get caught up it loses “lazy ap-peal” and can become a time con-suming labor of love. It is a group of items that come together to showcase an idea or activity. These can be movie night kits with pop-

corn, candy and a DVD or cake kits that are made of cake mix, frosting and sprinkles. They can become extremely elaborate. You are tell-ing your loved one that you want them to have an item like a cake or do an activity like watch a movie but need no part in its execution or completion. This is perfect for friends that have hobbies that you cannot stand. Your girlfriend likes scrapbooking? Make her a kit. With sites like Pinterest and Craft Gawker, you can assemble something creative and personal. It takes consideration, forethought and some basic pragmatism, but assuming you have any of these qualities, you can create a lazy kit that still says you care.

BOOKS The amazingly lazy part of giving a well chosen book to someone is that you come off as an intelligent, literate and thoughtful friend for only $19.99. You can be scientific, political, even romantic and essentially do nothing. Pur-chasing a well known classic that most people have heard about but never bothered to read tells the receiver that you care about their education and their coffee table. The author spent months, even years writ-ing that masterpiece, and you get all of the gift giving perks. As far as personalized gifts go, this is the laziest and most

considerate present you can find. Go vintage and buy used at Amazon.com for $2.99. You will be the thrifty Thoreau of all your friends.

INSERT LAZINESS You may have committed to a life of laziness. Your friend or relative may have not. Help them become more effi cient. Buy them a universal remote. If you buy them a “clap light” you will be the last thing they think of as they clap the lights off and go to sleep. They will be constantly reminded of how you made their life easier. Their waistline will hate you, but their hearts will be eternally grateful.

SOMETHING YOU LIKE This seems easy but must be executed with caution and sub-tlety. Whether it is food or your favorite video game, anything can become an appropriate gift. The two driving theories are that you are giving them “companionship” in something that you will both enjoy. The other, more dangerous theory is that you are improving their taste (assuming you have good taste). This also makes your life easier. If you are a Jacksonville Jaguars fan, buy them two sea-son passes. You like popcorn; your girlfriend coincidentally receives a popcorn maker. The possibilities are endless.

We have seen a bombardment of bad news but this holiday, take a look at all of the great, silly or strange accomplishments the world has made this year. There is so much to be thankful for.

1. Somalian pirates, Mohamed Abdi Hassan and other leaders agree to stop the pirating. Weapons and boats have been surrendered to authorities. “They realized that they cannot function as before with impunity and profi ts are no longer good,” according to BBC govern-ment offi cials.

2. LG designs a phone created with a fl exible plastic sub-strate, replacing glass. “The design is made of 0.44

mm-thin plastic and has a protective fi lm attached to the back, making it “bendable and unbreakable,” ac-cording to manufacturers and reports. G Flex phones are rumored to launch by next year.

3. Hawai‘i Red Cross offers aid and helps families in the U.S. locate typhoon survivors in the Philippines and has received more than 60 cases.

4. Studies suggest that each neuronal dendrite is capable of activating and performing computations individually.

5. Blue Revolution Hawai‘i, a research group based in the pa-cifi c, begins designing a future of fl oating cities with pop-ulations increasing and climate change alarm continuing, land dwellers could take to the sea with fl oating modules.

6. Hawai‘i becomes the 15th state to grant and recog-nize same-sex marriages.

7. In the quest to cure Alzheimer’s disease, 11 new hu-man genes are discovered.

8. A saola, nicknamed the Asian unicorn, a small hoofed animal found in Vietnam and Laos, is spotted for the fi rst time in more than 15 years.

9. President Assad of Syria allows international chemi-cal weapons inspectors to begin the systematic destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons after the conclusion of a U.S.-Russian agreement.

10. Flash fl ood warnings in O‘ahu, Ni‘ihau and Kauai are cancelled as the threat of rain fi nally ceases. Authorities were concerned with the dynamic sys-tem and anticipated heavy rain.

It is distracting. If you are giving a piece of junk, presentation is key. A well packaged present can seem loving and thoughtful. It pushes the cheapness of the present to the back of the receiver’s mind and makes something insignifi -cant beautiful. The receiver won’t realize it’s junk until you are driv-ing away into the sunset with your package of holiday leftovers.

It makes a gift more meaningful.

It enhances the tradition ofanticipation, and packaging adds to the mystery. It allows the view-ing public to see your status as the king or queen of gift givers. Ap-propriate wrapping screams pre-tentious present procurer.

Keeping it under wraps

ConsPros

PRIYA RASHID


The holidays are here; prepare the presents. Most people don’t question whether to wrap presents or let them stand alone, but with funds and time in short supply, give wrapping a second thought.

It is distracting in presentation and interpretation.

Depending on the packaging, the present’s identity is blaringlyapparent, rendering the wrap-ping pointless. You are wasting time and resources.

If you disguise the package, the receiver has no idea what to ex-pect. They also have no idea how to reciprocate. For example, you bought your boyfriend $400 cuff links and he thought you were giv-ing him a candy bar, so he bought you a cheap gag gift.

You are the Grinch. You want the children to be disappointed and grow up to be cynical realists.

You are lazy. You made the ef-fort to buy the present. Tell that receiver they are asking for too much. The present is coming in a Walmart bag if you feel like it.

One of the only legitimatearguments for leaving a present unwrapped is that it is the environ-

eciprocate. For example, you ght your boyfriend $400 cuff s and he thought you were giv-him a candy bar, so he bought a cheap gag gift.

A roll of wrapping paper costs about $3, depending on the size.


Think outside the box and instead of handing a gift to the person you love, do something. Objects can be nice to have, but eventually they either break, get lost or end up in the stor-age. Try to think of something special to do with your family, friend or special someone. Making memories that will last forever is a priceless gift that can-not be forgotten or lost. Just because we are so comfortable with wrapping something and putting it under a tree does not mean we cannot think outside the lines and make innovative changes to the word “gift.” Spending time with someone and creating moments that are special can be called a gift. You won’t have to stand in line, pick out their size or choose a color; all you need to worry about is having fun and cherishing the moment together.

November is here and the holiday season can sometimes hit your wallets first. With all of the holiday parties, out-ings, dinners and shopping just around the corner, some tips on how to save money are important to ensure a cheer-ful season. Everyone wants to go all-out and give the best things, but why should we let our hard earned money go out the window so quickly?

Do-it-yourself’s are always a fun activity, and they make a great per-sonalized gift. There are many proj-ects and how-to inspirations on the Internet, so saying you have no cre-ativity is not an option. Pinterest is a great website that allows you to search for creative, eclectic, DIY proj-ects that will be perfect for anyone on your gift list. Creating a one-of-a-kind gift will be sure to fill a heart with joy and appreciation for the time and thought put into it. In most situations, people are looking for something sentimental that they can cherish for years to come.

Almost anyone can relate to wait-ing until the last minute and scram-bling for whatever they can find in stores. Last minute shoppers are those who fail to plan ahead or tell themselves that there is still time to get everything done, until they find themselves rushing to the malls to buy mediocre gifts that are too expensive. This case is definitely more common in Hawai‘i because most of us run on “Hawaiian Time.” This year, try some-thing new and plan your shopping and gift ideas beforehand because it will help you save time, money and stress.

A few ways you can plan your shopping trips are:

1. Categorize your list: Put everyone into groups. For example you may group

together family, friends, co-workers and the people whom you may or may not buy a gift for. Distinguish which groups are the most important and pri-oritize those groups fi rst.

2. Decide how much you want to spend: Designate a maximum amount of money you would like to spend on each person. If you have a limit, it will help you avoid overspending when looking for a present.

3. Shop online: Hawai‘i is limited be-cause we only have a few shopping malls on the island. Online shop-ping is perfect if you want to find a gift that is only available in main-land stores. It is also great because you can access virtually hundreds of stores in seconds.

Make it! Plan it! Do it!

Your brain on shopping

PRIYA RASHID


The brain designed the pyramids, painted the Mona Lisa and invented Facebook. But how does the most pow-erful muscle in our body stack up against shopping? Studies show that although we all love gifts, subcon-sciously we judge the gift based on our perception of their intentions. We want to see attempts at generosity and thoughtfulness. A gift might be expensive, but if it lacks any meaning or sincerity, you are going to be in trouble.

We all like new things. Studies show that as we discover novel items our brain feels a huge surge of liquid happiness: dopamine.

A large amount of complex chemical decision-making occurs in the brain while shopping. The battle between rational and rash-ness continues. The parts of your brain involved in making rational choices, such as the prefrontal cor-tex, are working in overtime as your brains accumbens begin producing a fl ood of dopamine in anticipation.

We tend to devalue items that cost less. The price changes our expectations of the product. Studies show that the heftier the price tag, the more we enjoy it.

If we are so rational, why do we have such high rates of impulse buying? According to new studies, we often use the amygdala, the part of the brain that handles emotion and threats, for shopping. As the perceived value or bar-gain of an object goes up, the more our amygdala works. See the case study of the cra-ziness of Black Friday.

Paying in plastic plays with our brains. Using credit means that we can put off the “pain” of spending money while getting immediate gratifi cation. Stud-ies show that shoppers using credit cards in stores or online overspend more than their cash counterparts.

They are trying to trick you. Stores use soothing, relaxing and distract-ing tools to keep you too busy to feel the “pain” of spending. They play specifi c music to keep you in the store longer. Grocery stores will often smell of fresh bread or cinnamon and spice during the holidays.

We love brands. We are selfl essly loyal. We iden-tify ourselves with specifi c brand names. Are you a Pep-si or a Coke? Are you a Mac or PC? Our brain uses the ventral putamen to process the reward system. When we get our favorite brand, our reward and pleasure sensors start lighting up faster than neighborhood Christmas lights.

Tropical sweater weather: style trends for warmer climates

KARISSA MONTANIA

Associate Features Editor

It may not be cold enough to build a snowman or go ice skating, but don’t let tropical weather keep you from wearing winter clothes and sticking with the season’s trends.

SCARVES Sheer, wool and cotton scarves come in many types of fabric for sea-sonal weather. Thin, light scarves work best for warmer climates because heavy material won’t weigh you down while the sun is shining throughout the day. If you want to wear a scarf for the chillier days, layered circle scarves are best as transitional pieces. To avoid the fuss of wrapping them around your neck, circle scarves are already folded in a loop, keeping fabric to a minimum.

TIGHTS Despite the diffi culty that comes with putting on tights, the end result is worth the extra minutes it takes to pull up what seems to be miles of stretchy fabric. Tights are sheer enough to keep you cool and work with many pieces you have in your wardrobe. They can be worn under dresses, rompers, skirts and high-waisted shorts. Sold in almost every color, tights are a fashion staple to have in your closet and are a safety net to wear when you think your dress might be just a little too short.


BOOTS Though you won’t be lacing up ice skates, you can zip, tie or buckle boots into your wardrobe. Over-the-knee boots can be worn with tights, leggings or jeans paired with a tank top or blouse for a mixture of win-ter and spring trends. Ankle boots, because they are shorter, elongate your legs and can be worn with shorts, skirts or dresses. While it may be too hot outside to wear coats with boots, short-er outfi ts can look just as put-together with a boot of the right cut and color.

CARDIGANS An advantage of wearing thick sweaters such as cardigans is being able to layer them and take it off when you get too hot or on when you’re cold. As it might be sunny outdoors, inside places like classrooms or restaurants can be cold enough for you to feel like you fi nally have a reason to order your coffee hot. Loose, slouchy cardigans paired with tighter dresses or shorts juxtapose each other for an outfi t that can transition you into warm or cool weather.

Black Friday has been a tradition for years, but in the past decade, Cyber Mon-day has brought another way to fi nd deals and sales for the holidays. Here’s a break-down of both to help you decide which shopping experience is right for you.

CONVENIENCEBlack Friday With long lines and large crowds, Black Friday is a frenzy. You have to get up early and wait in line to get into a store just to be pushed around by other shoppers and wait in an even longer line to make your purchase. Parking can be diffi cult, and people are set on getting all the items on their

shopping lists – even if it means push-ing you out of the way to grab things. In 2008, shoppers trampled a Wal-Mart employee after they broke the hinges off the doors and entered before the store opened.

Cyber Monday You can fi nd your holiday gifts for amazingly low prices without leaving your house. There are no early mornings or crowds to deal with, and many retail-ers offer free shipping on Cyber Monday as well. Another perk of Cyber Monday is that you can compare prices and fi nd which store has the best deal without having to drive anywhere. For those who would rather sleep in after a day of tur-key and still get deals, Cyber Monday is clearly the better alternative.

THE SALESBlack Friday Usually, the bigger sale items, like the ones that people camp out all night for, are not available on Cyber Monday. The downside of shopping the Black Friday sales is that you might end up buying things you don’t need just because they’re less expen-sive than usual.

Cyber Monday One problem that always comes with buying online is that you can’t actually see what you’re buying. It might not be at all like the picture when you get it in the mail, and it can be diffi cult to judge the quality. However, you are able to get many of the same deals that you would fi nd in the stores on Black Friday.

THE EXPERIENCEBlack Friday If you’ve never been shopping on Black Friday, it is defi nitely an experi-ence. If you go alone or are search-ing for one specifi c sale item, it prob-ably won’t be enjoyable. Going with a group gives you more people to grab the things you’re looking for, and you won’t have to wait in those long lines by yourself. Black Friday shopping is what you make of it.

Cyber Monday It’s nice to get great deals without leaving your house and dealing with the crowds, but the Cyber Monday shop-ping experience is the same as online shopping any other day of the year.

Stores like Wal-Mart will open in the afternoon on Thanksgiving rather than in the morning on Friday.


Gift tips for da ohanaNOELLE FUJII

News Editor

A tip that I’ve always found helpful when searching for gifts for my family is to buy them something they can use. When looking for gifts for your family, you should consider what they can use as well as what they will like. Most dads won’t be as outright about what they want for Christmas as a sibling. I’ve had to ask my dad numerous times about what he wants for Christmas, and every time he’ll say something like “I’ll like whatever you get me.” But getting him something he can use would be better than a random hat or shirt that he can toss away in the back of his closet. If your dad is outside a lot, why not get him a new tool like a hammer or drill that he can use for that broken window or new shed he’s building? If he cooks, try getting him a new wooden cutting board or some spices.

Moms can be especially tricky to shop for. Most are picky and will pretty much buy what they need when they need it. If you notice your mom eyeing something in the store but she doesn’t get it, that can be a hint for you to get it for her. Coming from the mainland, I get my mom things that she can’t get at home. These can include new slippers, tropical-scented candles or some unique shell earrings. And she’ll always hint at what she wants. Shopping for a sister shouldn’t be bad. Like moms, sisters tend to be open about what they want. Take your sister’s suggestions and start looking. A great present for a sister would be something that she doesn’t expect, espe-cially if she’s always open about what she wants. Brothers tend to be quieter about what they want for gifts. Figure out what your brother likes and fi nd him some-thing that he could use. If he plays sports, try getting him a new bat or tickets to see his favorite team. If he likes to go to the beach, why not get him new fl ippers or a body board?

Video game guide

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Two new gaming consoles, Playstation 4 and Xbox One, were released in November.

As the holidays draw near, people are beginning their search for the right gift. With companies like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo competing for consumers, today might be the most exciting time pe-riod in the gaming industry. When it comes to video games, there are so many options that some shoppers may become overwhelmed with which game they should buy. Below is a list of some of the most popular titles for this holiday season.

SPORTS Whether it’s team based or in-dividual, sports have been around for thousands of years. These games may unleash the inner ath-lete of any sports fanatic with the most realistic graphics and physics to date. Partnerships with the NFL, NBA and MLB have helped sports games accelerate into the main-stream, making sports fans excited. • NBA 2k14- PS3, PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC• Madden NFL 25- PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One iOS, Android• FIFA 14- PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, PS Vita, Wii

RACING While driving fast against another car in a high speed race seems fun to some, it is outright dangerous and should not be attempted except by a trained professional. This is where racing games come in handy. With game engines that emulate real car physics, stimu-lating racers such as “Gran Tur-ismo 6” have created cars that move similarly to vehicles in re-ality. If someone has the urge to release their speed demon, these titles may suit them.• Gran Turismo 6- PS3 available Dec. 6• Need For Speed: Rivals- PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC• Forza Motorsport 5- Xbox One

FIRST PERSON SHOOTER One of the more popular genres today, fi rst person shooters give players the chance to experi-ence warfare in the comfort of their living room. With its point of view gameplay, players could possibly become immersed into the world as bullets fl y every which way. The multiplayer aspect of fi rst person shooters has become one of the more dynamic and demanding sell-ing points of these games. Playing online allows gamers to connect with other players around the world, and the addition of a headset could further enhance the gaming experi-ence. First person shooting games continue to be the dominant genre in the gaming industry today.• Call of Duty: Ghosts- PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PC• Battlefi eld 4- PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC• Killzone: Shadow Fall- PS4

ACTION/ADVENTURE Action-adventure titles have grown tremendously since the dawn of video games. Today some games seem to be striving toward an entertaining thrill ride similar to that in movies. With several differ-ent titles in the action-adventure genre, gamers have the choice to be various characters and a chance to live their wildest dreams, such as a pirate assassin in “Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag,” a survivor of a zombie apocalypse in “Dead Ris-ing 3” or the Dark Knight himself in “Batman Arkham Origins.” These titles may differ from each other by way of gameplay and story, but they all act as an escape to an alter-nate life.• Grand Theft Auto V- PS3, Xbox 360• Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag- PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PC• The Legend of Zelda: A link Between Worlds - Nintendo 3DS• Dead Rising 3- XBOX ONE• Batman: Arkham Origins- PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC• Supermario 3D World- Wii U

Super Bowl: offense meets defense The Denver Broncos will meet the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife stadium. The Broncos’ Pey-ton Manning will lead his team through a weak AFC confer-ence and shatter offensive records. Meanwhile, the Se-ahawks will likely squeeze their way through the 49ers, Saints and Packers in a much tougher conference in the NFC. Their home-field advantage through the playoffs will allow the fa-mous 12th man of Seattle to intimidate opponents. Look for the Broncos to win the Super Bowl behind an MVP perfor-mance by Manning.

Dark horse: New Orleans Saints

NBA Finals: the last stand The San Antonio Spurs will have their chance to avenge last year’s loss to the Miami Heat. What will likely be Tim Duncan’s last hurrah will fea-ture a performance for the ages by the 37-year-old. Kawhi Leonard, Marco Belinelli and Danny Green will out perform the Heat’s role players. The knees of Dwayne Wade will not be able to give Lebron James the help he needs in winning his third championship. Look for the Spurs to win the series in six or seven games.

Dark horse: Indiana Pacers

NBA free agency In the 2014-15 NBA season, many teams will overhaul their rosters and add star players. The class of 2014 includes many players who could be eligible to be free agents. Key players such as James, Kobe Bryant, Tony Parker, Wade, Luol Deng,

Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Bosh can contribute immediately and elevate teams to become contenders. Furthermore, the draft class is reportedly the best draft class since 2003. The landscape of the NBA teams will drastically change during the course of 2014.

College Football: Roll Tide The Alabama Crimson Tide will three-peat against the Or-egon Ducks in the BCS National Championship Game in Janu-ary. Fans are excited to finally rid college football of the BCS system. Starting next year, a playoff format will be imple-mented to allow more teams to compete for the national title. In the mean time, Nick Saban will add to his already signifi-cant legacy. The high scoring offense of the Ducks will stall against a loaded, well-coached, hungry Alabama defense. Fans have anticipated this match-up for years because it represents a clash of different styles. Look for the Tide to continue domi-nating college football.

Dark horse: Florida State

World Cup: Joga Bonito The World Cup is fi nally here. After watching Spain claim its fi rst title in the 2010 tourna-ment, fans have waited four years to see if La Roja can re-peat. Brazil will host the World Cup amid controversies and al-legations of excessive govern-ment spending. Their team has a strong unit led by the young sensation Neymar. Brazil will ride the home-team support into the fi nals where they will meet a well-organized German side. In the rematch of the 2002 fi nals, Brazil will regain its place atop the soccer world.

Dark horse: Belgium

With the new year coming up, it’s time to start planning how you want to spend it. See how long you can stick to these “do-able” resolutions:

1. Walk, instead of drive, whenever you can.2. Recycle all your bottles, cans and paper for the year.3. Turn off all lights when you leave the room and unplug all electronics you don’t use.4. Eat healthy: Go as long as you can without any fast food.5. Get healthy: Set a workout schedule and exercise plan and stick to it.6. There are more than 50 student organizations on campus. Find one you like and get involved. 7. Study more before every test. Set a study plan. 8. Break a physical habit like biting your nails or twirling your hair.9. Save money: For every dollar you spend, put a dollar into a “savings” jar.10. Find out what causes you stress and get rid of it.

TAKE

1. Spend more time with loved ones. It is good to stay busy, but make sure to spend time with your family and friends. Time goes by quickly and we tend to take the time we spend with our loved ones for granted, but it is a time that should be cherished.

2. Get the motivation to do something you have always wanted to do. Whether it would be playing an instrument, skydiving or getting a tattoo, set a goal for yourself and make it happen.

3. Take better care of your body. This is easier said than done, but eating right and exercising will do wonders for your health. Livestrong.com states that eating right and exercising will increase happiness, energy, health and a long life. Hawai‘i is the perfect place to get fi t because the weather is warm year-round and there are many hiking spots.

4. Dress for your body type. Know your body type and what looks best on it. Unfor-tunately, just because something is trend-ing does not mean it works for every body type. It is good to know what styles you can pull off and what styles do not fl atter your body. “You can change your clothing to have a positive effect on your body,” celeb-rity stylist Sam Saboura said on YouBeauty.

“You want to contrast what your body is telling you. If your body is soft, add struc-ture; if it’s angular, add softness. The whole idea is to create balance.”

5. Be more optimistic. This can be a chal-lenge, especially if you are in a stressful situ-ation, but life is too short to let stress get the best of you. Try to think positively and enjoy every day, even the bad days.

6. Help others. Take time to help someone by volunteering. You will benefi t by helping some-one else, and they will remember your act of kindness. The BioMed Central Public Health journal states that volunteers benefi t from reduced rates of depression and an increased sense of life satisfaction and well-being.

7. Get organized. School and work are stressful as it is, but not being organized can contribute to the stress. Being orga-nized will help you fi nd things faster be-cause you know where everything is, so you will feel relieved and stress free.

8. Be a better person. Being kind to others is a great quality to have. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

9. Surround yourself with good people. Finding good friends can be hard, so it is important to fi nd people who care about you, people who are positive infl uences.

10 things you should take into the new year, 10 things you should take into the new year, 10 things you should leave behind10 things you should leave behind

LEAVE

1. Procrastination. We are all guilty of it, but we are capable of learning from this common mistake. Edward Young said, “Procrastination is the thief of time.”

2. Fear of the unknown. It is scary not knowing what our future holds, but in-stead of being scared, we should be excited. It is ideal to have a plan for your future, but sometimes life takes us down another road. It is important to be present and enjoy each day.

3. Junk food. Occasionally it is fi ne to eat junk food, but it should be eaten in moder-ation. Most college students eat junk food because it is more affordable and faster to get than healthy food. Try eating snacks every three hours like granola bars, fruits and almonds. Not only is it good for you, but it will give you more energy.

4. Government shutdowns. This lasted for 16 days last month, and thousands of fed-eral workers were furloughed and national parks wee closed. Many people and their families were affected by this.

5. Mistakes you have made. We have all made mistakes in the past that we would like to forget about. It is best to learn from your mistakes and try not to

make the same mistake again.

6. Violence. Every day there is some sort of act of violence being reported in the news. A place violence should never occur is at school, but unfortunately, that is not the case. There have been many school shootings within the past year. There is also physical, verbal and cyber-bullying.

7. Sayings like “Yolo,” “twerk” and “swag.” These sayings have defi nitely been overused this year.

8. Negative thinking toward yourself and others. Stop thinking badly about yourself and hating on other people. Focus on your goals and being the best person you can be.

9. Fake friends, people who are not re-ally there for you. I think everyone has had at least one “friend” who was just not a great friend. If you are the only one putting effort into a friendship, then they are not worth your time.

10. Miley Cyrus’s extreme transformation. From her VMA performance with Robin Thicke to sticking her tongue out, this girl has made headlines. It is shocking to see the little girl who played Hannah Montana turn into the raunchy woman that she is today. She is an adult now, so she is entitled to do whatever she wants. Let’s move on already.
