Blogging

I don't know what to blog about today. I've been sitting at my computer for two hours trying to come up with something to write about.

I'm currently watching the series finale of Boardwalk Empire in hopes of writing about the finale itself and how much I will miss the series, but unfortunately my WiFi sucks. The show keeps freezing every two minutes, so then I tried researching. I read articles on New York Times, Life, and Rollingstone, but nothing sparked my interest. I even went to Buzzfeed to find some sort of amusement. 

I'm just in a non-stimulating funk, I guess.

Ouiji: Keep Telling Yourself It's Scary

When I watched the trailer to this movie, I immediately thought, "Oh, my god. This is going to be so funny."

The movie contains characters from ABC Family and CWTV. This immediately caught my attention because I knew the horrible acting would distract me from the scary.

Turns out I had nothing to be scared of.

Of course the film includes a character who refuses to accept that something horrible is about to happen or doesn't acknowledge their actions will have any consequences. You can't have an oblivious character without her ignorant followers - her friends.

No matter how many times her friends told to stop or that they were scared, they still followed what she said instead of smacking her and telling to her to find solace in a therapist.

Asides from that, the movie has some semi-normal looking ghosts and a half-expected villain twist.

At the end, they defeat the villain, at the consequence of losing the majority of their group, then a cliffhanger-ending that makes you think, "Maybe they didn't defeat the villain."

Don't waste  your money on this one.

After Senior Year

This entire semester the only question I've heard from professors, elders and relatives is, "What are going to do with your life?"

The question itself is so blunt, but not as blunt as the reality of not knowing what you want or fearing what you won't get to do what you do want.

Many of us will move back home and begin to look for job in career we have prepared ourselves four years for.

The lucky ones will already have jobs lined up and maybe even a down payment on an apartment.

Some of us will get stuck. Some of us will work at a dead end job, so we can save enough money to move out of our parents house.

I want go home and work at a dead end job, but save enough money for a plane ticket so I can volunteer at an elephant reserve in Thailand. I want to blog about being there and write for a traveling magazine called Verge Magazine. I might make a career out of it.

This may be difficult to accomplish, but every time I picture myself being home and working for the rest of my life makes me want to hyperventilate.

Of course my mother is against the idea, but we all need to get out of comfort zones and do something that's not benefiting only to our life, but to someone else's.

We should all want more for our lives and not settle. Settling makes things easier, but not fulfilling.

Midterms

What started off as a very slow and calm semester has decided to take a second look and throw some curve balls.

It's not even finals week and already, I feel the pressure of being a senior weigh me down.

This is the most chilled out semester I have ever had, but the work just seems to come out of nowhere at the most random times.

I finish up one assignment, which I've already gained a headache from, then I open my school email and there goes another assignment.

There are 207 days till graduation. I wonder if my headache will last that long.  

Junk Food Takes Over

Just when I thought America couldn't get anymore stereotypical, a bakery comes out with a "Flamin' Hot" Cheetos bagel.

I find this so amazing and disgusting all at once. Flamin' Hot Cheetos are so addicting, but to make them into a bagel!

Forget having a cup of coffee. This will definitely wake you up in the morning. For all I know next week I could be eat Twizzlers infused pancakes.

Thoughts? Concerns? Woes?

SNL And The Fault in Our Stars

"What's your story?" "Well, when I was first diagnosed I didn't really..." "No. Tell me your REAL story."

This is the moment where Saturday Night Live caught me, and I was about to throw up from all the cuteness and exaggerated romance. Then the sentence, "I have ebola," spilled out of Sarah Silverman's mouth.

I believe Saturday Night Live's take on ebola was executed perfectly and of course they would use every screaming teenage girl's and every grown woman's favorite heart-aching film.

On a side note: (WARNING) I did not shed a tear. Yes, I have no heart.

Enjoy the video!

American Horror Story Addict

The first time I watched American Horror Story, I stopped at the first episode. Infantata, the ghost of Dr. Charles Montgomery's mutilated baby freaked me out the first episode.

Instead of watching it, I looked up the entire series on Wikipedia. Yeah. I cheated. So?

This Sunday, my roommate and her friend began watching the first season. I thought, "why not give it another shot?"

My roommates were so confused by the show. They started asking me questions about if certain characters where ghosts or who killed who. It was so funny watching them anxiously wait for their questions to be answered. It made the experience more bearable.

This show is freaky, but I can't seem to stop myself from watching it! I watched the show from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. then I persuaded myself to do my homework and that if I didn't stop watching I might have nightmares.

I'm two episodes away from the finale, then on to season two!

Being a TA

If you've ever been a teacher's assistant it's either you've had one of the two experiences: you didn't do anything for an easy two credits or your phone is filled with the numbers of confused students.

I am the current TA for web design and at first I didn't do anything besides take down the class notes and give out the attendance. Now, we're actually digging into the material. It's like I'm taking the course all over again without the obligation of doing the projects out of fear of failing.

It was easy.

Now, my phone is filled with the numbers of confused students. Some students have even asked me how to zip a file...Lord help them.

If you've ever been a TA you'd understand the sinking feeling you feel when a student needs your help and you have no idea how to help them.

Or the moment when your grading quizes and you come across an answers that is technically right, but it's not the answer that is on the answer key. You ask yourself, "Should I mark them wrong?"
