5 things I can't live without


5 things I can't live without:

     Everybody needs food, water, clothes, shelter, etc. But some things, especially in this modern world, also feel so important to us. For me, those things are based around the topic of beauty and organization. For other people, they may be things that are needed for work, but no matter what they are, we still think of these items as "needs". Here are my top ten things I feel as if I can't live without.

1. I have always been a very organized student, throughout all the work I do. I haven't always used a planner, but ever since I began using one, I have realized how much of a "need", it truly is. I can write down my assignments, plans for the week, and my goals. I choose to write down goals, because each and every person in this world has room for improvement. Yes, it may be difficult to admit, but we aren't perfect, and that is what makes us beautiful. By writing down my goals, I accomplish them sooner, and can become a much stronger person both emotionally and physically. 

2.  Even as simple as it may seem, I need a hairbrush. Clearly, I don't bring it with me every where I go, but as long as one is nearby, I know I won't have to stress over a hair emergency. The reason this is important to me, is because I am always very aware of how I look and feel. I call it being "in tune with your body". The reason is simple. Overtime, this world has been shaped in many new ways, and that effects how we, as humans, views ourselves and others. We aim to be a certain image, whether or not that image is reasonable. By owning something as simple as a brush, I feel more confident in how my hair looks, which can effect the whole way I view how I look as a whole.

3. The next thing I love to have, is chap stick, which once again, is simple but crucial to me. The reason is that you can never fully predict the weather, and especially if the weather is cold and crisp, it is very easy for your skin to become dry. Chap stick prevents that, and it's an affordable way to do so. 

4. Another thing I like to have with me, is my phone. If there is an emergency, I can call and get help immediately. It is very important to know the boundaries of that, though. Only call if you truly need help, because those types of calls are taken seriously. That is why I find comfort in having a phone with me, because I can always get help when needed. 

5. The last thing I enjoy having, is a writing utensil and a piece of paper. For me, I like to have one with me because I am very creative. I use these two things almost every day, and it is great for jotting down ideas. I find that I do my best thinking, when I'm not even looking for ideas. My mind wanders, and that is when I seem to gain the most understanding, and can come up with amazing ideas.

Relationships with a mirror

Relationships with a mirror:      Most likely, when you read this title, you thought of self image. I tend to pinpoint this topic often in my blogs, because it is important to me, but is often misinterpreted. Many people seem to define self image as how you look in the mirror. Although that is part of this, there is much more to this topic. To me, self image is a combination of self love, self appearances and how we react to them, and self confidence. For example, when I look in the mirror, I may not always be pleased with what I see, because the other people look "perfect", yet I do not. But take a moment to imagine what they might say when they look in the mirror. Every person has insecurities and flaws, no matter how flawless they appear to be. This begins the conversation of the "Relationships with a mirror".       As I stated in the above paragraph, every person has flaws. But these flaws are awesome, they make us who we are. It is easy to stand in t

Memorial Day!

Memorial Day!      Tomorrow is known as "Memorial Day", a day to honor the men and women who have served in the military. These men and women have made many sacrifices, including some who lost their lives. As a way to show gratitude for these hardworking men and women, we often send letters, visit memorials, host family gatherings, or participate in annual parades.       Unfortunately, many of these celebrations are no longer able to happen this year, as a result of the pandemic we are now faced with. Yet it is still important to honor all the hard work and dedication these men and women put forth. So you may be wondering how to show your appreciation despite these setbacks. To start, there are many artistic activities you can do to express your appreciation. For example, you can make posters or signs. Decorating these posters with the colors of the United States Flag shows respect for these men and women and all they have done for our country. Another option is to

"That's a Bop"

"That's a Bop"      You may have heard the phrase, "That's a Bop", which basically means that a piece of music is what society views as great. For example, when the song Shake it Off came out in 2014, many young listeners referred to the song as being a "Bop". Another example is the song 10,000 Hours, released in 2019.       The reason why this phrase should be spoken about now, is because many people globally are dealing with hard times currently, and listening to music is a good outlet for their stress and pain during these times. If you're dealing with something difficult, and have not yet tried this method of release, set some time each day to listen to music that you enjoy. Music can change the way people view situations, and take their mind off the parts they don't like to think about. Of course, it won't completely ease the pain or stress, but it is a great way to change your mood and not have the situation take over e
