Things African parents Say and Do

Hey guys! Just a lighthearted kind of post. I hope you enjoy!!             P.S. this is all meant to be taken as a joke(most of it anyway)  If at first you don't succeed, don't come home Talk to everybody for about 30 minutes in any kind of social situation I walked ten miles, uphill both ways to go to school, you're so ungrateful At family gatherings, they brag about their children, and try to one-up each other Why can't you get an A?    But nobody got an A!    I didn't raise a nobody! If you have to have two heads to get an A, grow another one! Do the people who are getting A's have two heads? No? Then you should be able to get an A If you keep crying, I'll give you a reason to cry Aish, what did I do to deserve such rude, disobedient children Tell you to get them things that are 5 feet away, just because they don't want to get up You're so lazy! We used to have to go and get water, wor...

Some of my favorite movies

I'm only going to explain the ones that I don't think everybody has seen, so.... 1. Full-Metal Jacket 2. The City of Bones    This is the movie version of the first book of The Mortal Instruments. It's a movie that I love, even though they left out some stuff that was in the books(yes I am that person). 3. The Godfather     Its a Classic 4. Underworld Movie Series     My brother and I came upon this movie while channel surfing, and after 4 minutes, were so interested that we couldn't stop watching. 5. Forrest Gump     Come on guys 6. Jurassic Park     Dinosaurs, guys, dinosaurs. 7. Revenge of the Bridesmaids      This one is hilarious, and I'm kind of obsessed with Raven Symone, so this movie was one that I saw on Netflix, and I couldn't stop myself from watching it, and it was genuinely one of my favorite movies. 8. Tomb Raider      Its Angelina Jolie, people, you have to love her. ...

A Poem

Hey guys. This is just something that came to mind one day, so.... I hope that you enjoy! The days pass by in an endless circuit Stuck in a relentless routine that never seems to end The same things happen every day Until one day Everything changes Somebody takes the time to notice Everything that you are going through They make an effort to get to know who you really are And the sea that you were drowning in Is no match for the happiness that they bring into your life

Ways to get stuff DONE

We all have those moods where we feel insanely productive, but as often as those come around, times when you don't feel like doing anything, happen twice as often. So these are just some of my tips on how to get things done during times like Mid-Terms, or Finals so that you don't forget anything important. This can be used for so many things, not just educational work. Enjoy!! P.S. If you want more tips to be more productive during the day, click here. 1. Make a List Lists are foolproof ways to make sure that you won't forget anything when you really start to work. This way, when you are in one of those productive, motivated moods, you won't leave anything behind and then have to realize that you forgot three assignments, and now you don't feel like doing them. 2. Block out all Distractions Whether this is people, music, or even just ads on the sides of your browser, distractions can be detrimental to our work ethic. Having to stop what you're doing...

Best Superpowers

1. Invisibility This one is cool because unless somebody has a camera that picks up thermal signals, you can essentially be anywhere and nobody can see you, which I think could be really cool, especially if what you do for a living has something to do with collecting personal information, then you can literally be the fly on the wall. 2. Reading Minds I think that this, like a lot of other superpowers would be a blessing and a curse. If it was like the books, it would take time to control it, so until then, you would be hearing everybody's thoughts. In addition, you could decide to listen to somebody's thoughts and then find out something that you either didn't want to know, or were better off not knowing. 3. Compulsion I personally think that this one is pretty cool. It reminds me a lot of Percy Jackson. I think that the ability to get someone to do what you want would be pretty useful, because then if you could compel cashiers to give...

Top 10 Books and Book Series

Harry Potter - J.K Rowling Its a Classic. It's thrilling and full of adventure. I think that how the characters interact plays largely off of what actually happens in schools everywhere. The Mortal Instruments - Cassandra Clare I love this series. It is kind of a long one, but it is so addictive. It draws you in and doesn't let you go until the story is over. Once it is over, however, you are satisfied with the way it ends, but you still want more. The Infernal Devices - Cassandra Clare Another Cassandra Clare book, but I couldn't help it. She's an amazing writer, and the books she writes have a sort of magical mysterious air that draws in the reader, and makes you want to read, even if it is the only thing that you can do. The Mediator - Meg Cabot This story is kind of romance based, but it is also filled with the antics and life of a girl who moves to a new place and has to adapt to a completely new way of life. And it just happens that her bedro...

Places I want visit

Greece I want to go to Greece. It is one of the top places that I would like to visit as of right now. I love warm weather and I love the tropics. I love the look of their beaches and just the overall architecture of their buildings. I love food, so I want to know what Greece has to offer in the way of authentic, traditional foods. Paris I love the Idea of Paris. Of the food, and the culture, and the fashion, as well as all of the sights. From the pictures, it seems like a beautiful place. It will also be nice to know that I didn't take 3 years of french for absolutely nothing. London Even though London is said to be cold (In comparison to other places), and I don't particularly like the cold, or the rain that is said to frequent this destination, I think that I would be willing to bundle up and strap on my cold weather clothes to take a walk around the beautiful city. Australia Australia. Stereotyped as the place where people ride kangaroos to work....

My Favorite Shows at the Moment

Supernatural This Show is my All Time Holy Grail. It's funny and full of tense moments. However, the actors play their parts so well, that it always makes my laugh and cry. I love this show, and it takes up a lot of my free and not-so-free time.                                                        The Office This show is hilarious. If you think of it as an actual office, its funny to see the relationships between the people and its funny to see the interactions between the people.                                                        Two and a Half Men Ah, Charlie Sheen. I love him in this show. Its the right amount of inappropriate, funny and confusing. You never really know what's going...
