Coming Back

Coming back from Thanksgiving Break is both DEPRESSING and EXCITING. Depressing because, hello, you're coming back to school work and teachers and expectations of the real world. Exciting because, ha, three more weeks of school and then you're on Winter Break and the semester is finally over! This is probably the best thing in the world for an out of state student because they get to go back home!! Back home to your family, food, home, dogs, and oh my god FOOD!

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break away from home was something. It was different and uncomfortable really. You get so use to your traditions with your family every year that when randomly that year comes and that tradition is taken away from you, it's overwhelming. It makes you appreciate all the little things that usually annoyed you on that day to push you to realize hey, I actually miss that. Or just being around your family when they might be the most annoying bunch in the world, I mean they still mean the world even when you're miles away.

R&B

Where are all those R&B songs the radio came out with the year 2000? Those slow jam songs, piano played with a fast tempo beat in the back, and a man/woman with a beautiful voice. The type of beautiful voice where you can hear them hit all their vocals with actually singing and not what they now call rapping. The lyrics aren't even close to the same anymore either, artists just jump straight into sleeping with someone with no strings when artists from the 2000s at least had the curtesy in trying to dine the person before asking for something. Where is that slow jam, singing, and curtesy?

When the time comes

Why is it that when the time comes to sit down and write a paper your mind goes blank? When you're laying in bed everything in the universe comes to mind to where it's like hey, I could write a book. But once you sit down at your desk the words can't even fall out your fingers and onto the screen. It's frustrating really, trying to get your point across or even an introduction. But then you finally do and you're satisfied and happy, until you get the paper back corrected from your teacher and they basically throw in your face your thoughts aren't good enough. Okay, exaggerating a little bit. But that's what it seems like sometimes.

Have You Ever..

Have you ever been in a quiet room (quiet room such as: movie theatre, classroom, meeting, etc) and everybody is usually paying attention to a speaker, instructor, or movie and then it creeps up on you, that cough. You know that cough that pops out at you out of no where because you swallowed the wrong way. So you're stuck in whatever quiet room you're in and there's you coughing for ten minutes straight. Trying to drink water to make it go away and sometimes you may not even have water so you're hoping the saliva in your mouth can help you save your life from embarrassed of ruining everybody else's attention on the main event. I've been through it and it's never a pretty picture.

Getting Sick

Getting sick.  It's makes top three on your lists of most hated things in the world.  It sets you back, it makes you feel weak, it get's you drowsy, leaves you frustrated, and worst of all SLEEPY.  Do you ever not think about your nose and all that it does when you're healthy? Or what about your throat and how easy it is to talk or swallow? Hm, what about your head, ever think nothing about your head? Because you're too busy thinking about all the other irrelevant things going on in your life. You don't appreciate all the little things your nose, throat, or head goes through until you're sick. Once you're sick, all you think is PLEASE get better. I promise I'll appreciate all your doings more if you just let me get back to being healthy! And then once again, it gets better, but you.. you're back at not appreciating the little things your body does for you once you're without them again.

Fallacies

Some fallacies are funny if you hear some of the examples and you have common sense. For example: False Dilemma Fallacy, "You're either with us or against us."  Well what if you really don't care who you're with. Or when your parents tell you, "Either go to college or work in McDonalds." Second example: False Cause Fallacy, I washed my car and then it rained. Therefore, washing my car causes it to rain." Assuming because of coincidence that it always rains when you wash your car isn't 100% true. Maybe you really just have bad luck when it comes to your car.  Or when you go out to eat at Wendy's for the first time ever and you feel sick to your stomach after that, that leaves you thinking Wendy's food is the worst. When really, maybe it's just you.
