Think 'bout Thursday: Feeling... Strange?

Teenagers experience angst at one point or another. Sometimes, we feel like we can't escape the town we grow up in. We all feel out of place, and we all share that gut wrenching feeling of loneliness at some point. Be not afraid! Feeling stuck is not something to burden yourself with.
Put it this way: only about 18 years of your life will be spent in your town. It's kind of sad to think about, isn't it? Everyone feels like their teenage years last forever, but it really is only a moment in time. Be grateful for the few treasured memories made in your awful town!
I found an online web series that perfectly describes being an outcast in your town:

Sitback Sunday: Cheap Budget Stores

Below, you will see two pictures I've taken from 2 online stores.
Can you tell the difference between these two shirts (other than color)?:

Boy shirt in orange plaid    
The one on the top is from Old Navy and the one on the bottom is from J. Crew.
The one on the top is $14 while the one on the bottom is $88.

Finding good deals can be hard, if you have no direction. After many mistakes, I have found a handful of stores to be the best place to look for if you want a good deal.

1. Marshall's/TJ Maxx
In my class, I'm known as the Marshall's girl. That's how often I shop at these stores. I combined these stores Overall, they're a really good store to buy name brands for cheap. You see American Eagle logos all over the store... if you're into brands like that. I would say that it's a pretty risky store. It's usually a hit or a miss.

2. Belk ONLINE
This store is a store found in the south, so northerners.... just skip this one. I say online because there is a better selection found online. I only go there for shoes, because I'm not a big fan of their clothing selection. But their shoes..... Heaven. Comparing their clearance shoes with the other stores is pretty fun because Belk's prices are ALWAYS lower whenever I check. Their selection is really nice, especially in between seasons.

3. Gap
Gap is like a J. Crew, but cheaper. Their clothes are good quality, and the clearance sections are where you should look for your clothes. I would say that you should only check in here in between seasons though to buy the really good stuff.

4. Old Navy 
Cheap closet basics. The end.

5. Target
Target has a lot of trendy pieces for a cheap price! I would say it's a little more on the expensive side, but their clothing selection is hard to resist! Every week I feel like they're pairing up with a top-of-the-line fashion designer (ex. Neiman Marcus) to create stellar pieces. They're strongest selection is the bags. They make some of the best fashionable bags and are easy to match with whatever outfit you're wearing!

That's all I have for now, but I haven't forgotten about the amazing thrift stores out there! That subject needs a post in itself. 
'Til next time!

Fashion Friday: Loafers

I'm in love with loafers. They're probably my favorite type of shoe. They make you look fancy, but can be turned into a casual piece when styled correctly.
NINA FLAT OXBLOOD
From G.H. Bass & Co.


They're such a versatile shoe! I have a pair of pink and black loafers myself. I use them EVERYWHERE I go. Seriously. I use them so often that my mom groans every time I put one of the two pairs on.

Here are some pictures I found on Pinterest, that may help you style them:

Interesting Facts About Anime

Bleach:
My favorite anime is Bleach.  Originally Tite Kubo had planned to make the main character Rukia Kuchiki.  The show was going to be called "Snipe" instead because everyone was going to use guns except for Rukia who would use a scythe.  Later Tite decided to use swords and he changed the name to "Bleach" because it was related to the color white that would contrast with their soulreaper outfits.

Poke'Mon
1) When the manga first began it was decided that Ash would use a Clefairy instead of a Pikachu.
2) One of the episodes of Poke'mon about Porygon had an episode with quick flashing colors that put over 600 Japanese kids in the hospital.

Media Monday: Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad. A show so hardcore with so many twists and turns that you have to love it.
So, what is Breaking Bad?
Let me set up the scene:
In Albuquerque, New Mexico, A man named Walter White teaches Chemistry at a local high school. He has one mother, one son, and an unborn baby he didn't plan on having.
Walter, his wife Skyler, and his baby
Walter starts feeling sick, and goes to the doctor. His visit to the doctor reveals that he has cancer. Not wanting to leave his family in a debt the size of Mauna Loa, Walter decides to make meth. He partners up with one of his failed students: Jesse Pinkman. 

The show is what happens between the wheeling and dealing of the meth. It's a great show to watch (provided you can tolerate the mature rating shows). I love it because it has such a different feel to it than most shows. It is very artistic in terms of filming style. 
I recently found a show called  The Writer's Room on the Sundance channel and loved it! You can watch the whole episode here:http://www.sundancechannel.com/series/the-writers-room/videos/breaking-bad-the-writers-room-episode-1-season-1-full-episode
Watch this show, and then join everyone as we watch the final season of  Breaking Bad, which had its final season debut yesterday! What will happen? Who will die? We'll find out soon enough

Things I Wish I Had

    Height
I wish that I were tall!  Nobody messes with a giant.  It pretty much benefits you in every way.

    Bedroom Attic
Bedroom attics are awesome!  You get the biggest room in the house and it's pretty private.  I guess being tall and living in an attic would be a problem though.

    Working At A Bookstore
I really want to work in a bookstore as a starter job!  They're the bomb!

    Jeep
Eventually when I become a good enough driver I'm going to get a jeep!  I'm not really sure why..

Spontaneous Saturday: Personality Tests

I hope I'm not alone in this one, but I love a good personality test! They give fun, interactive, and well-reasoned insight into your personality. There are a lot of personality tests all around the internet, and here are the coolest ones I've found:

1. The Myers-Briggs Personality Test

Originally used for WW2 purposes, this test has become a very useful tool.
Here's a video explaining all about the test:


2. The Color Test
Another great test. In this test, you learn more about your personality in more detail. A lot of this test concerns your social responses to things.
Take the test here:
Write down the number you got for each color! Watch this video explaining the meaning of these numbers & colors after:



3. The Cube Test
I find this test kind of funky. I'm not sure how the mindset of this test works, but it described me pretty well. This test talks about how you view yourself, not how others see you.


4. The Humoural Test
This one is a bit more fun. It was a personality test used in Elizabethan times, and determined what part of the body you were based on your responses. 


If you're really bored, you can always take a ton of different personality quizzes/tests! Here's a link to a website with TONS of different personality quizzes:

Happy quizzing!

 Those "Nerdy" glasses you throw on your face and then call yourself attractive afterwards do indeed lack originality.

             You could wear these shoes...

  
      Only if you know you can pull a wife beater off.

Tips On Washing Clothes

    If a shirt is just a little too small it isn't a problem.  Try not to buy clothes that are a 100% cotton.  They'll shrink as you might already know.  I found out the financially difficult way.  If you do buy, or already have, a small shirt don't put it in the dryer.  I use a coat rack in my laundry room.  After I'm done washing my shirts I take them out and stretch myself in the areas I think should be wider.  After that I hang them up to dry in my laundry room.  They usually dry over night.

Think 'bout it Thursday: Future Education

The future. It can be a pretty scary subject when you think about it in its entirety. Your future education can be so overwhelming to think about. But you know what? I've learned that it's better to keep your mind in the present rather than blindly focusing on the future. Let me tell you why.

     Last year, school was so stressful. I never got any sleep at night, and when I did, it was for about 3 hours at most. I was trying so hard to get a good grade that I missed out on a whole year's worth of school experiences. I was so worried about getting good grades in order to get into a good college. While I was perfecting my projects and grades, a lot of my friends did not care about the project  nor grade at all. They were off finding and discovering their true passions.  I think this graduation speech by Erica Goldson best sums up why we shouldn't worry if we're good enough for what the future holds:





Here are the words to her beautifully written speech:

" There is a story of a young, but earnest Zen student who approached his teacher, and asked the Master, "If I work very hard and diligently, how long will it take for me to find Zen? The Master thought about this, then replied, "Ten years." 
The student then said, "But what if I work very, very hard and really apply myself to learn fast - How long then?" Replied the Master, "Well, twenty years." "But, if I really, really work at it, how long then?" asked the student. "Thirty years," replied the Master. "But, I do not understand," said the disappointed student. "At each time that I say I will work harder, you say it will take me longer. Why do you say that?" 
Replied the Master, "When you have one eye on the goal, you only have one eye on the path."
        This is the dilemma I've faced within the American education system. We are so focused on a goal, whether it be passing a test, or graduating as first in the class. However, in this way, we do not really learn. We do whatever it takes to achieve our original objective.
        Some of you may be thinking, “Well, if you pass a test, or become valedictorian, didn't you learn something? Well, yes, you learned something, but not all that you could have. Perhaps, you only learned how to memorize names, places, and dates to later on forget in order to clear your mind for the next test. School is not all that it can be. Right now, it is a place for most people to determine that their goal is to get out as soon as possible.
        I am now accomplishing that goal. I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system. Yet, here I stand, and I am supposed to be proud that I have completed this period of indoctrination. I will leave in the fall to go on to the next phase expected of me, in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I am capable of work. But I contest that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer – not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition – a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme. While others sat in class and doodled to later become great artists, I sat in class to take notes and become a great test-taker. While others would come to class without their homework done because they were reading about an interest of theirs, I never missed an assignment. While others were creating music and writing lyrics, I decided to do extra credit, even though I never needed it. So, I wonder, why did I even want this position? Sure, I earned it, but what will come of it? When I leave educational institutionalism, will I be successful or forever lost? I have no clue about what I want to do with my life; I have no interests because I saw every subject of study as work, and I excelled at every subject just for the purpose of excelling, not learning. And quite frankly, now I'm scared.
        John Taylor Gatto, a retired school teacher and activist critical of compulsory schooling, asserts, “We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness – curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then. But we don't do that.” Between these cinderblock walls, we are all expected to be the same. We are trained to ace every standardized test, and those who deviate and see light through a different lens are worthless to the scheme of public education, and therefore viewed with contempt.
        H. L. Mencken wrote in The American Mercury for April 1924 that the aim of public education is not

      to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence. ... Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim ... is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States. (Gatto)
        To illustrate this idea, doesn't it perturb you to learn about the idea of “critical thinking.” Is there really such a thing as “uncritically thinking?” To think is to process information in order to form an opinion. But if we are not critical when processing this information, are we really thinking? Or are we mindlessly accepting other opinions as truth?
This was happening to me, and if it wasn't for the rare occurrence of an avant-garde tenth grade English teacher, Donna Bryan, who allowed me to open my mind and ask questions before accepting textbook doctrine, I would have been doomed. I am now enlightened, but my mind still feels disabled. I must retrain myself and constantly remember how insane this ostensibly sane place really is.
        And now here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change. We are not enlivened by an educational system that clandestinely sets us up for jobs that could be automated, for work that need not be done, for enslavement without fervency for meaningful achievement. We have no choices in life when money is our motivational force. Our motivational force ought to be passion, but this is lost from the moment we step into a system that trains us, rather than inspires us.
        We are more than robotic bookshelves, conditioned to blurt out facts we were taught in school. We are all very special, every human on this planet is so special, so aren't we all deserving of something better, of using our minds for innovation, rather than memorization, for creativity, rather than futile activity, for rumination rather than stagnation? We are not here to get a degree, to then get a job, so we can consume industry-approved placation after placation. There is more, and more still.
        The saddest part is that the majority of students don't have the opportunity to reflect as I did. The majority of students are put through the same brainwashing techniques in order to create a complacent labor force working in the interests of large corporations and secretive government, and worst of all, they are completely unaware of it. I will never be able to turn back these 18 years. I can't run away to another country with an education system meant to enlighten rather than condition. This part of my life is over, and I want to make sure that no other child will have his or her potential suppressed by powers meant to exploit and control. We are human beings. We are thinkers, dreamers, explorers, artists, writers, engineers. We are anything we want to be - but only if we have an educational system that supports us rather than holds us down. A tree can grow, but only if its roots are given a healthy foundation.
        For those of you out there that must continue to sit in desks and yield to the authoritarian ideologies of instructors, do not be disheartened. You still have the opportunity to stand up, ask questions, be critical, and create your own perspective. Demand a setting that will provide you with intellectual capabilities that allow you to expand your mind instead of directing it. Demand that you be interested in class. Demand that the excuse, “You have to learn this for the test” is not good enough for you. Education is an excellent tool, if used properly, but focus more on learning rather than getting good grades.
        For those of you that work within the system that I am condemning, I do not mean to insult; I intend to motivate. You have the power to change the incompetencies of this system. I know that you did not become a teacher or administrator to see your students bored. You cannot accept the authority of the governing bodies that tell you what to teach, how to teach it, and that you will be punished if you do not comply. Our potential is at stake.
        For those of you that are now leaving this establishment, I say, do not forget what went on in these classrooms. Do not abandon those that come after you. We are the new future and we are not going to let tradition stand. We will break down the walls of corruption to let a garden of knowledge grow throughout America. Once educated properly, we will have the power to do anything, and best of all, we will only use that power for good, for we will be cultivated and wise. We will not accept anything at face value. We will ask questions, and we will demand truth.
        So, here I stand. I am not standing here as valedictorian by myself. I was molded by my environment, by all of my peers who are sitting here watching me. I couldn't have accomplished this without all of you. It was all of you who truly made me the person I am today. It was all of you who were my competition, yet my backbone. In that way, we are all valedictorians. 
        I am now supposed to say farewell to this institution, those who maintain it, and those who stand with me and behind me, but I hope this farewell is more of a “see you later” when we are all working together to rear a pedagogic movement. But first, let's go get those pieces of paper that tell us that we're smart enough to do so!" 




     I hope that you, reader, don't get too caught up in being in the best college and whatnot. Remember that you will have to live with the choices you make. Don't look back at your past and say to yourself," I wish I did that when I was younger instead of focusing so much on the future!" Instead, make memories that will make you look back and say," That was one of the best memories of my life."

Wildcard Wednesday

       School is around the corner.  But that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.  Remind your true friends of how lame they are by one upping them this year.  Below are some unique school supplies and ideas.

Sexy Backpacks:

Remember that time when laptops were being passed around your classroom and everyone got a complimentary backpack, and just when you’re the last to get yours and you specifically ask for a large and they give you a small!?  “I don’t want to be apart of your system anyhow”.  These backpacks serve multiple purposes.

Defender Anti-Theft Backpack
Defender Anti-Theft Backpack
You know what?  Kids suck (._.).  It's pretty confusing to stare at.  The zipper is near your back and there is velcro on the straps so you can feel if someone is trying to jack yo' stuff.

Joshu+Vela Backpacks
Joshu+Vela Backpacks
Something a little more effeminate.  It is supposed to last a long time.  It is handmade and has no frills.  It is water repellent and is made of vegetable tan leather.

Solid Gray Bass-pack
Solid Gray Bass-pack
Share a piece of your mind with the rest of the world.  Blast some music from this backpack and maybe eventually get arrested for public disturbance.  It is made of light plastic with foam shielding the inside.  There isn't a price yet though.

Madpax Blok Backpack
Madpax Blok Backpack
You want to look like a ninja turtle or Blastoise?  This backpack is really sturdy and can fit large amounts.  Even. A. Laptop.  "I'm still angry at my baby backpack -__-"

HHI Day Pack
HHI Day Pack
Just if you want to look fancy.

Pens:

    I think pens are rad.  With pens you have to deal with lead snapping and them always getting stolen.  These pens will make your life easier.

Digital Pen

 Epos digital pen and USB drive work together, you write with the pen on a flat surface, and everything you write is saved on the USB drive.

Color Picker Pen

This pen will take anything that you hover over and transfer it to the pen that you can then draw on a piece of paper with.

3Doodler 3D Printing Pen
3Doodler 3D Printing Pen
Only around $74.  Still expensive though.  A pen that will emit than immediately dry whatever you want.  Create an army!

Memories:

    Save some of those highschool memories for when your older with a camera.  Don't worry it doesn't even really look like a camera.  Just tell your teacher and friends it's a tamagotchi or something.  This camera is a small clip-on that takes two pictures every minute.  So strap it on and prepare to blackmail people.  :)


Sticky Notes:

    Stay organized with a sticky note that folds over to look like a watch.  It should always be there and help you remember.  Or you could just write it down on your wrist.


Pranks:

    Entertain yourself with some pranks towards some well-deserving people.
(p.s.  I just copy and pasted this because I'm tired)

1. 
Car Pranks




Hijinks involving cars are popular because cars are big and noticeable. One high school in northern GA targeted the principal's car. Students jacked the back end of the car up, placed blocks under the rear axel and let the car down so the rear tires rested about ¼ of an inch off the ground. When he climbed in and started the car it went nowhere without traction. 

At the Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School, officials discovered a neon pink Honda Accord on the roof of the school. Now that took some planning and teamwork! The police determined that it probably involved dozens of students using crude ramps to pull the Honda onto the school roof. 



--------------------------------------…


2. 
Animal Pranks

Some of the best high school pranks involve animals, but remember if you use an animal for your mischief take the safety of the animal into consideration. Animal death or maiming will not be funny and can even get you in trouble. 

For example, in 1969 the senior assembly at Maine West Township High School in Des Plaines, Illinois witnessed the release of a greased pig. In this large suburb of Chicago, not many knew much about farm animals and the teachers and administrators trying to catch a greased pig brought waves of laughter from the student body. The perpetrators were never caught. 

Other animal pranks include things like all students bringing their dogs to school on the same day. If you choose another variation of this theme, be sure the animals involved can walk up and down the stairs and be prepared to clean up any mess your pet makes while in the school. 



--------------------------------------…


3. 
Fun with the Faculty




All kinds of pranks have been pulled involving faculty members. In one high school, the students collected 'For Sale' signs from yards and moved them to the lawns of faculty members. 



--------------------------------------…


4. 
Pranks on Lower Classmen




The friendly feuds between juniors and seniors leave the door open to shenanigans as one class plays jokes on the other. In 2007, Marist seniors left notes for the juniors on their cars parked in the school parking lot to "Go find your license plate." Plates were lined up on the soccer field. Unfortunately, for the students who didn't know their tag number, it was a long ordeal. 



--------------------------------------…


5. 
Mascots




Pulling off a high school prank involving the school mascot can be tricky. You need to make sure you don't damage school property or injure anyone. It is a common prank to kidnap the mascot before a big game. 



--------------------------------------…


6. 
Bathroom Mischief

Bathrooms generate a lot of ideas for pranks, but one that doesn't cause damage or require clean up is placing dry ice in urinals, toilets and sinks to create an eerie scenario. Using trash bags to cover windows and allowing limited light adds to the creepy atmosphere. 



--------------------------------------…


7. 
Computer Practical Jokes




Technology opens the door for more opportunities. One harmless joke is to switch cables on all the computers so the keyboard from one controls another. 



--------------------------------------…


8. 
At the Flag Pole




This is a perfect prank for everyone to see when they arrive at school. For this one, a student's father owned a construction company giving him access to his father's lift. He used it to place used tires all the way up the flagpole. 



--------------------------------------…


9. 
Sports Team




This joke works for sports teams who have a supply of Gatorade to drink while practicing. While the team practices, empty their Gatorade and replace it with water mixed with salt and food coloring matching the Gatorade you dumped out. 



--------------------------------------…


10. 
Classic School Pranks




Some of the best high school pranks are the timeless classics. This includes things like placing whoopie cushions on teacher's chairs, or placing signs on all the exit doors saying, "Please Use the Other Door."
