Memory- remembrance
If you ask an english student what memory is, they'd respond with an answer similar relating to what people can/ do remember, a recollection of moments or ideas. If you ask someone from geeksquad what memory is they'd respond by using some sort of computer language, talking about database and gigabytes...thanks, but no thanks.
Memory can be both good and bad. I think that most people remember things that impact them the most. Happy, sad or funny- all can be equally important and affecting. Honestly, how many times at family gatherings do you hear someone say, "remember when..."? A lot!
Memory is amazing because each person's is unique. Not only do people have unique memories, but so do animals. Apparently, elephants have an amazing memory, especially older females of the herds (ability to recognize "friendly" faces). Goldfish do not have a memory only seconds long, but approximately 3 months long!
But...one thing I think that you all will find useful to this class- some tips from Wiki (our most "reliable" source out there, come on!):
~Increase oxygen supply to brain through exercise
~from me- write it down and repeat it until you really are unable to do so anymore!
