Dreaming is an everyday thing and will continually be a part of your life.

Dreams are a part of everyone’s life no matter how old you are. Everyone has once had a dream and it can be on the spectrum of an island of desserts or a scary monster following you. As Psychology Today said, “

* A component and form of memory processing, aiding in the consolidation of learning and short-term memory to long-term memory storage.

* An extension of waking consciousness, reflecting the experiences of waking life.”

This is showing that your mind is constantly working and creates different mental pictures in your life where you can see experiences that you do/don’t want to forget. Many of my family members have been saying since COVID started their dreams have been very scary. Jason Fierst had to say, “My dreams have been really stressing me out, lately. I feel it has been bad due to my being stressed about getting COVID and doing all the precautions to stay healthy and away from quarantine.”

Basketball has been something in the main news stream with the impacts of COVID. Now we move on to our Sioux City’s finest Morningside Mustangs.

In recent news on Morningside basketball. The NAIA has issued a protocol stating that they will not charge fall and winter student-athletes a year of competition.

The decision was made off of the survey throughout the conferences. Remarkably out of 19 conferences 12 of them agreed with this protocol. COVID continues to have a big impact on the NAIA but doing this is giving the athletes a chance to persevere through a season with a lot of ups and downs.

Morningside Basketball player, TJ Schnurr had this to say, “I feel this is great news to those who could lose out on games this year. It needed to be fixed and the committee answered their prayers.” TJ is among many players celebrating this recent news so is many seniors who were scared their season had the possibility of being taken away due to COVID.

Now for national news, the election has taken everyone in the nation by storm.

The 2020 election has been quite a wild one due to previous events. The winner who has not been picked due to the counting still going on has people on the edge of their seats. At the moment Joe Biden is the leader with 253 electoral college votes, but President Donald Trump has a chance to make a run for it if Arizona makes a flip in candidates.

Zach Martinek who is a Morningside Sophomore and a political expert had this to say, “looking at the election right now, I think there is a lot of fraud is going on. There has been a lot of odd things going on.  We will see what happens in the courts. I just want a fair election with the winner being who the American people truly want whether it is Biden or Trump” This debate of the presidential elections definitely going to be one to remember.
