Let's waste time

What we love will ruin us. We love our cellphones and we love the internet. We love the power it gives us. With them, we have the ability to learn Calculus from YouTube, get all the answers to our homework from Yahoo Answers, and talk to a loved one in Madagascar through FaceTime.            Cellphones were created to make our lives easier. I have an app called Moments that tracks the amount of time you spend on your phone. Over one of the days from spring break, it said I used my phone for 783 minutes. That is 13.05 hours. 13 hours of my life that I will never get back. Was it really worth it? Probably not. I most likely racked up so many hours because I binge watched Gossip Girl on Netflix and aimlessly scrolled through Twitter 7623 times. To be on my phone for 13 hours really isn’t as hard as it seems. I had promised myself that I would use spring break to study for my ACT but instead I wasted my time. In today’s modern age, we are ...

the path

On page 125 of Spiegelman’s Maus, Vladek and Anja are walking in the streets, trying to find a place to go. Vladek and Anja continue to find a safe place to stay, but the inevitability of their fate is depicted in the illustration. The reader is looking at the two walking through the streets from a bird’s eye view. This allows them to see that the road is in the shape of a swastika. The words “where to go” are bolded and yet there is the swastika to convey that there really is no place for the couple to go without being in danger. Since the path they are on is made of a swastika, it shows that no matter where they decide to travel, they cannot escape their future- that they will walk into the Nazi’s trap sooner or later. Vladek is able to escape his impending death numerous times; however, he does end up at a concentration camp in the end. If he had not decided to attempt to escape into a different part of Europe, he would have never been sent to Auschwitz. His cousin and his fam...

zayn leaves one direction

(beware: this is slightly dramatic and 100% embarrassing) On Wednesday March 25 th , 2015 a tragedy happened. Zayn Malik, 1/5 of One Direction, quit the band. If you look at the occurrence from different perspectives, it can be good or bad. MOSTLY BAD. Zayn’s perspective: For the this is my room lol past 5 years, he has been forced to act like a perfect, clean-cut boy. He is supposed to be a great role model for middle school girls and has to deal with millions of obsessed under-aged girls who claim that their ovaries explode every time he shoots them a smoldering glare. He’s in a boyband that (used to) wear matching outfits, sings bubblegum pop, and is under a contract that prohibits him from lashing out. He has the stereotypical bad boy persona because he wears black, has tons of tattoos, and smokes. BUT THE PERKS WAYYYYY OUTWEIGHT THE CONS BECAUSE HE HAS EARNED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, ACQUIRED WORLD FAME, ACHIEVED A POP STAR STATUS, TRAVELLED THE WORLD, AND CAN BASICA...
