This holiday issue could not be complete without the mention of a beautiful event, celebrated by a variety of members of our EABH community: Hanukkah.  The word Hanukkah - sometimes spelled Chanukah - means “dedication” in Hebrew. According to the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah is an eight-day festival celebrated by the Jewish community around November or December.  This holiday celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. During the second century BCE,  the Sele

In the world, many different cultures celebrate the festive season in unison. Different cultures, however, have their own ways of celebrating this holiday. Here are some countries that have unique customs during the holiday season.  In Japan, there is a unique yet fun tradition around the end of the year, and that is to eat fried chicken. This began when the American fast-food giant KFC launched a major campaign to enter the Japanese market during the holiday season. It was s

The unsettling silence of longing for someone isn't just the sound of their absence, but the weight of yearning for a nonexistent future together while shifting realities to one without them. People don't just leave memories behind; they replay them as storylines that will never happen–sentences that will never be spoken, jokes that will never be told, accomplishments that will never be shared–all while getting used to turning the present into the past tense. The voids left b

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birthday. If that's the case, how does Santa fit into  the narrative? Santa Claus is known for being a symbol of Christmas: a cheerful old man with red clothes that brings gifts to children who’ve behaved well  throughout the year. However,  he has not always been portrayed as such. The name “Santa” comes from  Saint Nicholas, a Greek bishop born 280 AD in the region that is now Turkey. Nicholas came from a wealthy family and rece

How many times have you gone to an event which you really did not want to attend, just so that you would not miss out on something? We have all done this at least once in our lives, and this is due to one simple term called FOMO, or fear of missing out. FOMO is described as a feeling of anxiety caused by the thought of others living better experiences than you, or without you. This feeling is closely tied and worsened by social media, as it allows people to see what others ar

Throughout the course of a lifetime, people grow, develop maturity, and connect with many types of people. However, in the process of growing up, cycles end, leaving behind memories and people. Unfortunately, this makes the process even harder and often leaves us feeling guilty and lost, since letting go also means saying goodbye to special people . Some argue this is part of the process of growing toward a better life, and in my opinion, they couldn't be more right. Growing

How many times have you wished you had started preparing for a test sooner?? In fact, I started writing this article the day it was due. Even though I knew the deadline was approaching, I waited until the last minute to start planning my draft. Procrastination is something almost everyone faces, yet no one knows how to deal with it.  Procrastination isn't poor time management, it’s a reflection of your emotions.

Samuel Johnson once said “The chains of habits are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.” Habits define who we are, acting as building blocks on the path to success. Just like athletes who practice every day to conquer their biggest dream or a simple routine of an entrepreneur that leads them to achieving their goals, every single person should understand that success is not solely found through talent or luck, but from determination and repeat of small

This happens with several different songs, but it is all due to their unique way of capturing emotions, making personal situations feel more universal, as if many other people were feeling the same thing.  There are several reasons why you feel like you deeply connect with the music, one o

Ever since I was a kid, my parents asked me: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” To this day, I still haven’t figured out what that means, I know my strengths and flaws, but can’t answer the question. Not knowing my passions or possible professions, That would come with future interactions. It’s hard to understand how to find the right path to follow. When I feel like I'm falling into a hollow. But it’s okay not to know, Because no matter where you go, There’s always a
