3 Reasons Why I Love The Internet

While I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday, I came across a few pictures and just lost it. One of my favorite parts about the internet and social media is that we are able to see all of the crazy and absurd things that are happening around the world, and i'll admit, I absolutely love it. Thanks to Twitter, I had a few much needed laughs yesterday. Here are a few examples that demonstrate just how much I love humanity.

1. The Impersonator

Let's just talk about this for a second. A teen goes to jail....for impersonating a doctor....then tries escaping jail.....by impersonating a prison guard. Really?!? I think someone is a little too excited for Halloween this year. First of all, what is the purpose of pretending to be a doctor? Second of all, did he actually get people to believe he was a real doctor? How, and why? And another question...how did he get his hands on a prison guard uniform? These are the things I'll never understand, but I still love it.


2. Why Gucci...Just Why?

Ah yes, just what everyone had in mind for this Christmas. A pair of nice, warm, cozy goat hair slippers from Gucci. At only $1,800, I can walk around looking like I'm wearing Hannah Montana's wig on my feet! Every girl's dream. I just want to know, why Gucci? Better yet, these slippers cost more money than I've ever had in my bank account at one time. Why waste your money on a few vacations when you can have one pair of Gucci goat hair slippers?!


3. The Goldfish Lady

Yes, you read that right. A woman rushed her precious goldfish Conquer to the vet when she saw he was choking on a pebble. But then again that doesn't sound too crazy--I wouldn't want to watch my pet suffer. Instead of just allowing the vet to put the goldfish down peacefully then buying a new $12 goldfish, she pays $375 to save his life. A true hero. Someone give this woman a metal. It is obvious that she cherished her goldfish dearly. Judging by his name, she had dreams for him to "conquer" the world (or his fishbowl). I can now sleep at night knowing that Conquer is happy and healthy back in his fishbowl.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
