(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...

Lobsters used to be considered on the same spectrum as rats. RATS. People refused to eat them and inmates were only allowed to eat them once a week. Now, lobsters are a high-class food so that makes me wonder, who decided “oh lobsters are going to be a delicacy now and all restaurants are going to serve them!” This also leads me to think, who is it that chooses what the next “big thing” or the next “big trend” is going to be?? Or maybe the right question I should be asking is who is it that is dumb enough to follow? As a society, we care too much about trying to fit in with what the newest fashion is. Currently, that would be the bohemian look. Most of the men and women who consider their style “bohemian” think that they’re really hipster and unique because they attend music festivals and live by the philosophy of hippies. But the thing is, if everyone thinks they’re hipster, then everyone is the same. This is just like the pink flamingos. According to the third most po...

The words and actions of a child’s parents can impact the way a child chooses to live his or her life. In Richard’s case, his mother’s abandonment causes him to become a neglected little boy who leads a generally unhappy life. Throughout the movie, many of us exclaimed “this kid is going to be traumatized” after we watched him witness his married mother kiss his neighbor and as we watched his mother drop him off before she decided to stay at the hotel. In the end, it was Laura’s final decision of leaving that makes us wonder if she hadn’t abandoned him, would he have turned out normal? Was it her leaving that left his traumatized or was it all of her actions? We also get to watch Richard’s father tell him that his motivation to stay alive during the war was because he wanted to return home and wed his mother. Richard takes after his father and lives for the same reason. He tells Clarissa he only stays alive because of her. Like his father, he associates love with life. Love i...

Out of all the characters, Rezia is by far my favorite. She leads a fairly innocent and regular life, and all she wants is a loving husband and a cute little baby. She was just an Italian girl living and enjoying life with her family. creepy picture of Virginia Woolf In Milan, she felt that her life was perfect. Rezia was “gay [and] frivolous, with those little artist’s fingers” (Woolf 87). She was surrounded by her family and she had met such a charming man that she admired. She likes the fact that he is quiet and she respected Englishmen. She probably felt like she was on top of the world; she was immersed in love (even if she didn’t know that Septimus didn’t love her). Tangent: Seriously, what the heck Septimus, it isn’t cool to play with people’s feelings. You shouldn’t marry someone just for the heck of it. She gave up her entire life just to marry you and moved to a foreign country while you’re off thinking about how Shakespeare said love is repulsive.   Anyways, in ...

From left to right, Emma, Elizabeth, me  Mrs. Dalloway allows readers to realize how many thoughts race through the head of every ordinary human in just a single day. While we get to experience her day with her, we find it strange that “a little squeak of the hinges” (3) reminds her of air from a morning when she was 18. Additionally, when “the floor creaked” and “she just hear[d] the click of the handle release” (32), Clarissa is reminded of her summer at Bourton and her relationship with Sally Seton. However, after analyzing her thought process in class, I understood how often this occurred in our daily lives.        My friend Emma is currently in the midst of searching for a college roommate. After weeks of talking to obscure strangers, she came across one that said she attends a church camp every summer called FaHoLo (faith, hope, love). This one word was able to spiral into four summers of memories for Emma. In the middle of Michigan is a Christi...
