First World Problems

First World Problems

Ok so you all know the phrase. Everybody uses it. It's usually accompanied with a witty hashtag or a meme that explains your life down to a t.

One I just saw today might be my favorite. I'll try to find a picture of it because I know when I try to tell you what it is you'll just tell me to shut up and go away. Fair enough.

But seriously. The things people complain about drives crazy. It's either they can't get the right balance between their soy milk and agave nectar in their overpriced coffee or the pile of empty salon brand shampoo bottles that are collecting in the cemetery that is the corner of the shower and you forget to throw them away.I don't know where I'm going with this. I just want people to calm down, take a breath, and realize that it's not the end of the world if he person in front you just took the last Splenda packet at Starbucks.

I know all this sounds all hoity toity coming from a kid who's got everything she ever needed, but have you ever just though about the fact that when you woke up today, you didn't have to worry about where your next meal was coming from or if you were even going to eat today? Two summers ago, I spent sometime in a country where the things we take for granted here are a luxury they almost never see. I got to spend time with some orphans who were just so excited I was there to play jump rope, throw a baseball, or just to hold them.

All this goes to say, be thankful. It could be worse.

P. S. Looking back on this, its kinda depressing and preachy. Next time it'll be different. I guess. If people don't piss me off. Ha.

Rated R

I mean who really knows the second post to put for their blog? Gosh I felt like I was going to be good at this then I just procrastinated on it like everything else in my life. So essentially, I don't know what to say. I have all these thoughts running through my mind in rapid succession that they seem great at the time but I can never remember them. Ever. I really want to rant about something I just don't know what.

Or maybe I'll just talk about random things, like what I watched today.

So I had a half day and I went home early and did what essentially every teen does when they get home: watch tv. I think people have a serious addiction to watching tv and making sure they watch every episode of the 754 shows they watch and trying to remember if they put the TiVo on. It's so time consuming.

Anyway, so I watched three episodes because well what else am I going to do? I ended up watching season two of American Horror Story.

The first season of that show was incredibly sexual. Like it was to the point where I had to seriously question if they were actually allowed to put that kinda stuff on tv. Don't get me wrong, I love the show but I mean really? Can you not.

BUT the second season isn't nearly as bad as the first. It's actually pretty good and genuinely scary. If you like being freaked out of your mind and can handle some super adult things, watch it. But it's not the show where you'd watch with your mom...

All this goes to say: life is rated R.

I know that sounds funny, but think about it. Whenever you go out in public you have to be wary of what's going to go down.Trust me people, I drop the F bomb more than I should but I personally love hearing peoples conversations in public, because they're just so ridiculous and riddled with words that would make a sailor blush. I've never used that expression before. It felt kinda stupid. Meh idgaf. See what I did there? Hehehe.
