An analog audio setup brings with it nostalgia. Pulling the vinyl out of its sleeve, being careful not to touch the grooves, gently cleaning dust off its surface, setting it on the turntable and placing the needle on its edge, then adjusting the levels until the sound is crisp, deep, and crystal clear-- all of this culminates an experience that is long-lost in an age that prefers convenient over complicated.

Did you know that the first heart-shaped box of chocolates was introduced in 1861 (Hawkins, 2019)? You may be one of those people who shower their loved ones with chocolates and flowers on Valentine’s Day or you may be the one who consciously avoids all things red during February. Regardless, most people can agree that Valentine's Day is the one day of the year dedicated to showering people with love.

There is a lot that could be said about the 2010’s. Above all else, though, this decade has shown the way technology has become so inter-woven in our society that it is near impossible to separate the two.

From the social media apps we frequent, to how we work or pay for food or communicate with one another, technology has made our lives far more convenient. Ten years ago, did anyone think that you could walk into a store, grab anything you want, tuck it in your bag, then leave without having to stop to pay, and do it completely ethically and legally? (Well, okay, Amazon might have, considering they did just that with Amazon Go in 2018.)

The new year is almost upon us-- so is the new decade, try not to shudder at that thought-- and with every new year comes planning out new year's resolutions. Those resolutions being achieved, however, is a different story. According to U.S. News, about 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by the second week of February.

Thanksgiving is a time of family, friends, and way too much pumpkin pie. But it is also a time to reflect on everything one is thankful for.

This thanksgiving, Continuing Education and Workforce Training (CEWT) would like to say thank you to our community. Check our what some CEWT members are thankful for this year!
