La La La

What is happening in the FIFA World Cup? The teams that were expected to make the top ten are slowly being wiped out! My bracket is completely butchered! Spain has already been eliminated which is killing me slowly because I adore Pique. Group G aka the group of death is where my home team has been placed under and they do not seem to have a shot. The only team that I am sure will make it at least to the semi finals is Germany. They seriously have a kick ass team. I mean, have you seen Muller kick a ball

Kibble

So now that most of us students are out of school for the summer, I would like to write about how we have finally all been liberated. In prison (aka school) we are always told what to do and how to do it. Not only are our bodies confined but so are our minds. It is like we are dogs being trained for a show, the kibble we are offered are points and we do what the masters ask of us in return for the treat. Sometimes the kibble becomes so important to us that we are willing to lie and cheat for it. Our minds are being programmed, not nourished. When we aren't given a rubric we panic because now we don't know what methods to use to get a treat anymore. All of us waste away our lives refusing to admit that we are the victims of conformity.

You're Life is a Game of Cards

How are you supposed to pick one thing to do for the rest of your life? Once you graduate,you hardly have three months before you have to make a decision that will shape your life. "I don't know" is no longer an option. And what if you pick a "risky" career and you struggle day in and day out trying to figure out a way to make it and start earning what you've worked your ass off for. The world has dealt you cards and if, from the pile you pick the wrong one, you are essentially screwed. But lets say you start off with crappy cards and pick up an ace, there is hope for you and success is sure to follow you around. There is no way going around what society orders us to do and, unfortunately, we don't know if we are dealt an ace or a two until much later in life

Award Season

So, we just had the Golden Globes and tomorrow is the Grammy's. I love watching award shows on television. I love to watch beautiful women in elegant gowns and men glamoured in suits. I think every girl has a dream of one day being dolled up and loved because of her appearance and talent. That's what life seems like for these celebrities. Sure, everyone has haters but is it not worth it? The only time an average girl gets somewhat close to this experience is prom or homecoming but even then, it is not even remotely the same. Just once it would be amazing to be able to buy the most beautiful dress, get your hair, nails and makeup done without having to worry about money. Just once, to know you are wanted by everyone.

Money Can Buy Happiness (In Some Cases)

Who said money can't buy you happiness? People think I am so shallow when I say his but deep down inside, they know it's true. Most people in the world come from average middle class families, therefor, money is most likely saved and spent wisely, so when you do get new clothes or your favorite headphones, it will make an impact on you because you feel deserving of it. However, I will agree to this; rich people, will never be able to buy happiness. If you're loaded, you can have whatever you want, whenever you want and so buying something will not even feel like a reward, just another purchase almost like it was a necessity. So don't ever feel guilty if your new sunglasses make you the happiest you've been in a month. Just enjoy what you have in the moment!

The Road to Nowhere

Have you ever felt so passionate about something that you felt you would die if it weren't part of your life? Well if you have, you're lucky. 92% of us out there have nothing to look forward to; nothing we believe we are good enough to accomplish. Take the Olympics for example, these people train their whole lives to be acknowledged for what they are good at. They found a purpose in life. But if you aren't the best at anything, just mediocre in everything, where does that leave you? Does that make you any less special? Are you just going to go by life being average? Unfortunately, most of us do. Most of us just go about our lives without true meaning because it's almost impossible to break the streak. So if you are somewhere in that 8%, consider yourself lucky, know that you have broken the cycle that majority of us feel bound to...

Theory on Television

Why do we sit for hours in front of a screen watching people go about fake lives that could never possibly exist? I'll tell you why, it's because we are so sick of our own lives and to try and forget, even if it's just for half an hour, the crappy reality we live in. It makes perfect sense; the shows we watch are so beyond anyone's reach, yet we watch them anyways. We inform our brains to turn off a switch that tells us how absurd we are for buying what goes on inside a electronic box. That's a huge reason reality shows are such a hit...they're always either too good or too weird to be true. If they put lives of the average person, do you think anyone would watch? No, that's what we are all trying to escape and get away from...
