Top 5 TED Talks To Watch When You're Feeling Down
http://www.ted.com/

We are all human, and there are some days where all of us feel upset. It doesn't matter if you are still in school, college or work, even out of work, everyone feels stress! I get stressed just as a normal human being does, and I have tried many things to "de-stress". Watching YouTube videos, listening to calming music, watching a funny movie, and even taking a long bath! A few years ago while I was just browsing on YouTube, I stumbled on a TED channel! TED is basically a nonprofit that is devoted to spreading new ideas and they hope to inspire people with those stories! I am very happy that I did because I have been watching funny and equally inspiring videos. Here is a list of the top 10 videos that I really enjoyed!

1. I Got 99 Problems, Palsy Is Just One

This is the first video that I saw on TED, and I am so inspired by her. She has cerebral palsy since birth. She never felt bad for herself, or wanted others to feel bad for her. She has such a positive outlook on life and she jokes about all the things that have happened in her life! This video makes me smile and gives me the confidence that I need to do what I need to do!


2. A Teen Just Trying To Figure It Out

Tavi Gevinson is the teen founder of a fashion blog/magazine called Style Rookie. She talks about what makes a powerful woman, powerful. This talk is about her journey into who she is today and how the experiences she has today changes her tomorrow for the better!



3. A Magical Tale (With Augmented Reality)

Marco Tempest is a magician. Not an ordinary magician though, he does magic with multimedia! He is known for his use of interactive technology and computer graphics in his illusions and presentations. He stars in the 8 part television series which is broadcasted in 50 different countries! This video shows us that technology is expanding and can be magical at the same time! (This video is not inspiring or anything like that, it is just a really good watch!)


4. Shake Up Your Story

Raghava KK is a artist and a father of 2 boys. He made a pop-up storybook and serves as the basis of what the talk is all about. This talk is not really inspirational but it gives out a good message about homosexual marriage. Kids these days have a lot of influences surrounding their behaviors and media and books and the main cause. This book shows kids that love can be found anywhere and no matter who your parents love or get married to, they will love you just the same! This is really vital for the younger generations, because they learn what is truly important!



5. Where Does Creativity Hide?

This video was just pure inspiration. No matter what we end up doing in our lives, we have to be creative and like what we do! She tells us that just because we are all humans, it doesn't mean that all of us are the same! Everyone has their unique specialties, but we have to find out who we are. And that is the key to success!

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.
