Thinking about...
It’s always fascinated me how differently people think. No one ever really thinks the exact same thing or in the exact same way. Today, I experienced the perfect example of this. In my philosophy class, we were talking about Plato and the word “practice”. My professor asked the class what we think of when we hear the word practice. Me being an athlete, the first response that...
Creases.
Crumple a piece of paper.
Now flatten it out.
Try your best to make it lay as flat as you can.
You can’t.
The creases will forever be present.
It can never be perfect again.
Just like a memory.
Whether you ruin it or overfill it with memories or experiences, it will never be the same again.
Normality is fiction.
Nothing.
Isn’t it ironic that the word “nothing” is something? There is never the complete absence of anything, whether it be matter or ideas. Nothing only exists because it is an idea.
Day Twenty-Six- What you think about your friends.
My friends are my life. They keep me sane when things are rough. Laughing is a huge part of my life and I’m pretty sure I would die if I didn’t laugh at least once a day. Thank goodness for my friends, because I have the goofiest ones in the world. I laugh myself to tears every time I’m with one of them. They are always there for me, as I am for them. What more could you ask for...
Day Twenty-Five- What you would find in my bag.
Well, seeing as how I’m at school right now, you’d find four binders, my laptop, a pencil case, my make-up bag, a calculator, my schedule, a sweatshirt, a power bar, and a water bottle. Typical items for a college student right?
Day Twenty-Four- A letter to your parents.
Dear Mom and Dad,
All I can say is I love you. That basically sums up my thoughts. Now that I am at college, my mind has opened up on a whole new level. I am inspired beyond belief and I’m pretty positive that I owe it all to you. I definitely would not be where I am today without the two of you. You both have your different qualities and traits and U can talk to you both about different...
Day Twenty-Three- Something you crave for a lot.
Philosophically? I crave love. To be loved and to give love.
Physically? I crave Lime Tostitos. All the time.
Day Twenty-Two- What makes you different from...
What makes me different from everyone else? I believe this question could be asked to anyone, and we would all have generally the same answer. What makes me different is that I am me. No one else is like me. In that same sense, where we all have the same answer, the subsets of that answer must be different. It’s a huge circle. Our answer is “we are who we are” but who are we?...
Day Twenty-One- A picture of something that makes...
Pinkberry, laughing, and my friends :)
