Why We Need To Bring Back The Disposable Camera

This summer, as everyone was capturing their memories on their phones, one of my friends went to the store and bought a disposable camera. To be honest, I don't remember the last time I had seen a disposable camera before that moment. My last memory of them is when I was a summer camper at age 10. I couldn't believe she had thought of this. Then thinking about, I realized she was brilliant.

The thrill of a disposable camera is undeniable. You take pictures of you and all your friends, pretty scenery and maybe even your food, but it is a surprise until you develop it. Once it is developed, you get to relive all those moments again. They work for your summer job, your formal, the frat party of the century or maybe your cousin's wedding. It makes you the photographer, puts you in front of the camera and sets you up for new memories down the road.

Disposable cameras aren't the cheapest things anymore so I know it might be a splurge for us broke college students, but I promise the pictures that come out of it are ones you will treasure. Thank you to my friend who brought them back into my life (yes that's you, Caro). As of now, I have 2 waiting to be developed as we speak and I could not be more excited to find out what comes from the surprise. BRING BACK THE DISPOSABLE CAMERA and capture every moment without know what you really saw. Just maybe it will become your new favorite picture.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
