As Told By...

There's always a perfect time for nostalgia

Elections were pretty nerve racking and the results were shocking. Let's reminisce on the good shows that remind us of those carefree days. One of my favorites: As Told By Ginger.

As Told By Ginger was a show that followed the life of teenage Ginger Foutley. She goes through pre-teen/teen life just as any normal adolescent would, that's what makes this show so relatable. You have the popular girls/boys, then you have the teachers you like/hate, your parents are embarrassing etc.

This show aired sixteen years ago (I was around 6), and I barely understood what she was going through at the time. At around 13 or maybe 14 years old I totally understood what she was going through. After a long day at school I would turn to my diary to record the events that happened throughout that particular day just as Ginger did. As I think about it now, my teenage life was a little similar to hers, I didn't have many friends and my mom was not as "perfect" as other moms.

After Ginger, my favorite character was Miranda played by Cree Summer (my girl). She had all the spice and her sarcasm was incredibly funny. I wouldn't mind her as a friend in real life now because I know I would get a kick out of her sarcasm.

I found a video of my favorite episode entitled, "Deja Who" on YouTube where Courtney gets food poisoning on the week she was supposed to escort the Senator's son to school. The principal was using Courtney to convince the Senator's son to enroll there. Since she doesn't look up to par, Courtney gets Ginger to pretend she's her. Miranda hates the idea. Ginger gets so caught up on being Courtney that she abandons her friends, Dodie and Macie.

This is my favorite episode because Ginger got lost in the sauce and I learned to never get lost in the sauce. Never get to engulfed in yourself (or somebody else's self in this case) that you forget what or who made you. Don't drown.

Teenagers today can relate to this show, preteens today can relate to this show, cause life as we know it hasn't changed at all.

This cartoon shouldn't had been laid to rest.

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.
