Right now, I have six more pages to write for my 12-page paper that's due tomorrow. Tomorrow I need to meet with my classmate to prepare for a presentation Tuesday morning. I need to read two novels before Tuesday and come up with ideas for my final paper. Oh, and I have a short paper due Tuesday. And another one due Wednesday. A portfolio due Thursday.
The point is, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the work I have to do within the next 48 hours.
Someone on Facebook posted this gem in which an amateur photographer...

Tuesday Rants: Plastic Surgery
It's Tuesday so that gives me permission to rant about something.
Recently Dulce Candy, a Youtube beauty guru, uploaded a video in which she describes the plastic surgeries she's done. The part that bothered me and inspired this rant is when she starts talking about her nose. She says that before, her nose was "broad" and "wide" with a bump. She says she wanted a more "delicate, softer looking nose" and now her...

I Love Freshmen
I used to hate freshmen.
They're easy to make fun of. They ask for tips on which parties to go to, how to establish good relationships with professors, and directions to a building they're 500 feet away from. Freshmen are so eager to please, willing to do anything that involves alcohol, and naive about how college works.
Being an upperclassmen, I thought I was all past that. Gone are the days of staying up till...

The English Language
I have a confession to make. I used to think the English language was ugly.
Once my dad, who was born and raised in South Korea, told me why he thought Korean was the most beautiful language in the world.
"You can create sounds to describe sensations. The sound of footsteps going up the stairs, the sound of rain on the pavement, the sound of pages turning in a church."
That always stuck with...

Myers-Briggs Personality Type
You know what's really popular? Myers-Briggs. Mention it in any social setting, and people will all start comparing their personality types, pulling up the test on their iPhones so that those who have never taken it before will be able to find out, then and there, who they really are.
Do I sound a little sarcastic? I think the Myers-Briggs types are fascinating, and can hold some truth for many people. However, I don't like the idea...

Thursday Thoughts
It's almost Friday!
I know that Fridays are considered the golden day, but personally, I love Thursdays. It's that transition day when the week is winding down so you feel lazy and content, but you're anticipating the weekend so you feel excited and buzzed.
THE LOW: I got a paper back for a literature class, and the teacher gave me a C.
THE HIGH: It was my birthday yesterday! Happy birthday to me.

Amortentia
I have always been fascinated by this one potion that first makes an appearance in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Amortentia. It's the strongest love potion in the world and has a different aroma for everyone who smells it.
I've always wondered, if I ever smelled it, what would I smell? What smells are most attractive to me? I like to think I have a good nose, and my sense of smell has always been important to me. Plus,...
