Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box

Exploring an old warehouse full of stuff and the discoveries I found.

Finding Your Own Soggy Cardboard Box

It's astounding what you can find in a soggy cardboard box in an old warehouse full of junk. With three dollars, I purchased a cardboard box full of assorted photographs just out of pure curiosity. Inside I found a variety of black and white photographs, post cards, and prints dating back to around the early to late 1900's. Almost of the contents of this box are photographs or post cards, which aren't always that interesting. However, I did find a very peculiar 4x6 photograph in the box.

My first thought when seeing this image was, "It's the Titanic." After some further research and a Google Image search, I still have not been able to figure out whether or not this is the Titanic. The Titanic was built in Belfast in 1909 and featured four large smokestacks. This image is obviously zoomed in on the passenger liner. Besides only seeing one smokestack in this image, it is spot on when compared to an image of the Titanic. The Titanic is either known for the very well known movie or its collision with an iceberg killing nearly 1,800 people. Whether this image is of the Titanic or not I find it very interesting.

If you are into movies featuring televisions biggest mobs and gangs, then you have most likely seen the movie GoodFellas. Growing up in a household where the Oceans movies, GoodFellas, and many others were played repeatedly, I was ecstatic over my next big find in this box of wonders. Inside was an autographed black and white print of Tony Darrow (still alive today), one of the major cast members in the movie GoodFellas.

The moral of this article is to prove that you shouldn't be afraid of dusty, random places full of very cool stuff. Explore where curiosity takes you and find some interesting junk.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
