We’ve all definitely been asked at some point the age old, 21st century question. Perhaps it could be the most important question you’ve ever been asked in your life. “If you could have any superpower what would it be?” I’ll admit I was being pretty sarcastic, but in all seriousness your answer to simple questions … Continue reading Why I Wanna be Voldemort

Rarity in a Digital Age
In a digital age where even our credit cards are on our cellphones, and all of the world’s knowledge is available to us in the form of a boxy machine in our hands, it definitely seems to be fact that there are way too many photos out there to be considered something unique. I look … Continue reading Rarity in a Digital Age
One Might Call me Weak
One might call me weak. I not only have fears, I have crippling mountains! When I feel the glaring eyes of the monster under my bed my legs feel weak, my heart beat quickens, and I feel the insufferable urge to run. One might call me weak, and I can definitely say I agree. If … Continue reading One Might Call me Weak

The World is no More Than the Reality We Choose for it to Be

“Love”
I say the two simple words "love" and "you" so many times a day others may find it unreal. I once read an article saying that the concept of "love" has become so under-saturated we use it to describe our enjoyment of activities or things as dumb as objects or food. But I don't think … Continue reading “Love”
The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
So a little while ago in AP Lang we talked about an article we had to read on what makes a serial killer. It talked about how genetics effect these people's personalities and mentalities, which, in turn, impacts their outward actions. And it sort of got me thinking about a topic that absolutely fascinates me: … Continue reading The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
