Big Brother 18: Week 1 In The House

Big Brother 18: Week 1 In The House

Hello faithful readers, Mom and a few teachers from my elementary school,

Before I begin, I want to acknowledge that I'll be pausing my Talking About Mental Illness series until school begins in the fall. I want to put my full effort and attention into both the learning and writing process for those sorts of articles, and this summer is turning out to be a lot more hectic that I originally planned. That being said, the series is not over, and I'm still looking for personal testimonies and advice.

Secondly, after I receive feedback from this article I will decide whether or not to keep up with "Big Brother" via my Odyssey articles.


Okay, let's just get down to business. (If you have no clue what BB is, click here). My first BONE to pick with the producers of BB this season is in regards to the first house guest evicted this summer: Glenn.

Now, Glenn was not like the other house guests. Destined to be the Donny from BB16 of his season, Glenn did not fit in with the other house guests because of his age and appearance. Riddle me this, readers: in today's society, sex sells. We all know it. It seems we've all accepted it, so when the first evicted house guest of the season was Glenn, no one really shed a tear. I'm not sure how this is fair, considering there are already 15 other hot singles to objectify in the cast. The competition that sealed Glenn's fate was a physical challenge against which he battled three young, fit, 20-somethings. It seems like this was just a little too convenient for BB's viewing stats. Why take the outcast out? Making Big Brother Great Again? No, that doesn't sound right...

Moving forward, this season has four veterans: Nicole (BB16), James and Da'Vonne (BB17), and Frank (BB14). Each of the veterans is on a team with at most three other house guests, all Newbies to the game. While a team-aspect is not a new twist from Big Brother, I am interested in seeing how the loyalty between teams will take priority over the loyalty to an alliance, or maybe vice versa. Also, the Road Kill competition? Hell yeah.

Finally, if you're ever wondering how NOT to play the BB game, refer to lovely Jozea's few minutes of fame in the house. Technically the second house guest evicted, Jozea was a lot of talk, conspiring with some shady and flaky people to get HOH Nicole out of the house. But, Nicole was literally HOH and those shady and flaky people were first in line at her door! So of course Jozea was put on the block as the number one target. Did this change Jozea's tune? No. He continually believed and preached that he was the messiah of the Newbies. Really, Jozea? Because it looks like their messiah was just crucified.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
