Music

Music is honestly one of the most amazing things ever. I have an insane amount of music in my iTunes and I regret none of it.

Okay to start this off, my life practically revolves around music It is a constant in my life and i don't think I would be able to function without it. It is crazy how music affects me so much and the emotions it makes me feel. I can go from being a happy lil' marshmallow to the saddest raincloud in record time all by music.

I feel like many people think that they have the most amazing music taste and often ridicule people who don't like the same music as them. Most likely not every one is going to have the same music taste as you so you should just leave everyone alone.

Some people also judge others for listening to a certain band like One Direction. I personally like One Direction (buy Made In the AM on iTunes) and I cannot tell you the amount of times I have been judged for it. There was a time when I did feel like I couldn't listen to them without being hated on. I have learned to not care because I like their music way too much to care about anyones stupid opinion.

I think it is amazing how people can associate songs with different feelings personal to them. A song can have so many meanings to so many people and that is pretty kool. I personally, have playlists with songs that remind me of a certain time of the year. If you want to listen to my "Fall" playlist click here (it's lit).

Music is such a universal language. Whether someone speaks Japanese or English they could both have the same music taste. The amount of people who listen to the same music but don't speak the same language but they are brought together by music is astounding.

I have such an appreciation for music and I hope that you reading this can identify with this. Now imma go jam. Ta ta 4 now

Millennials (Rant Wednesday)

I want to know how my generation is considered as lazy and rebellious. If you don't know we are called "the millennial's." Wikipedia says that we were born between 1980 and the early 2000s.

We are the generation that grew up during the major advancement of technology. Our child hood was still played outside with our neighbors but slowly this new thing slowly entered our lives and eventually took it over.

For some absurd reason, the progression of technology was seen as a bad thing to many people in the older generations. They always tell us that we are attached to screens, that we never put down our phones, or that all we do is sit on the tech and we are not really "experiencing" life. Newsflash, we have experienced more life through our phones than you ever have.

The amount we have at the touch of our fingers is amazing. I can make a friend on a different continent, someone who I wouldn't be able to talk to if it wasn't for technology. I could actually talk to someone who grew up in a different background and has different out look on life through the internet and a smartphone. That is more than anyone in the past had been able to do.

We also have to ability to start something amazing with the power of social media. Take the terror attack on Paris on Friday. Millions of people were tweeting, posting to Instagram, and posting to snapchat their love and support to the city. The people really got to interact with the people in Paris and the world got together and sent them their condolences to the Parisians. This wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for this "brain rotting" technology.

Not only have we been ridiculed for actually using technology but we have been put down countless times for not caring about other peoples opinions and not caring. I can't count the amount of times I have been told to "dress to impress" by my family members. Who am I trying to impress? I am a 15 year old girl. I'm pretty sure I can wear sweat pants to school and my hair in a messy bun every once in a while.

We are also starting to realize that we do not treat women or people of color or any one who is not a white straight white cisgender male. Many people are still not paid equally, treated equally, or shown any respect at all and our generation is becoming sick of putting up with their shit. We are becoming a group of more accepting human beings and thats pretty gr8 if you ask me.

I can't wait until we are all old. Millennials will be the most rad grandparents ever. Ta ta 4 now!

I Have a Slight Problem

I am not very good with words. Which is ironic because I am currently taking honors english. I feel as though I have these amazing ideas and they could actually be put to good use but I just cannot for the life of me make them sound like a poetic and inspiring master piece. I mean how hard could it be to turn 26 letters of the alphabet into something good.

It makes it really hard to write essays. On our last essay one of the topics was depression and suicide. I saw many of my peers writing these amazing and moving essays. They flowed well and god was I jealous. Mine was just kind of like the sea on a windy day, a choppy mess. 

This a pretty good representation of how my essay went

I don't quite know why it is so hard for me to formulate these ideas in to words. As I'm writing this I have deleted and rewritten so many sentences but they just never come out like I want them to. I find it difficult to have conversations about school because they usually go something like this:

Me: "So what did you say for number 7?"

Other Student: "I said the Mitochondria is *imagine a really long and beautiful description of what the mitochondria is or look at the definition here*. What about you?"

Me: "Uhhhhmmm. I said its the powerhouse of the cell"

I pray that one day I will wake up and I will be able to write an amazing piece of literature that will make someone, out there, feel something other than very uncomfortable. Oh whale ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe I should practice more. Everyone says practice makes perfect. The only problem is that I am extremely lazy and I have a feeling that I will never practice writing. If I do I'll keep you all updated on how it goes. 

If you have anything that will help me please let me known and there is a very slight possibility that I will look at it. Ta ta 4 now
