My Life Through The Eyes of My NSA Issued Microwave

“There was an article that week that talked about how you can surveil people through their phones, through their—certainly through their television sets, any number of different ways. And microwaves that turn into cameras, etc." - Kellyanne Conway

My Life Through The Eyes of My NSA Issued Microwave

March 5, 2017

Jasminne, once again, did not check the specific amount of time she was supposed to microwave her popcorn for. This wouldn't be such a bad deal, except is was 3:30 p.m., meaning she has absolutely nowhere to be, and therefore, had all the time in the world to read the instructions. I, now, smell of burnt popcorn.

March 7, 2017

It was 12:45 a.m. and Jasminne thought she ate her entire fridge. In between commercial breaks, she thought she could reheat leftover spaghettis and three day old pizza. She failed miserably. Instead, she managed to drop her bowl of spaghetti on the floor.

What was that weird dance she was doing? It looked almost like she sneezed repeatedly without stopping. Is that normal? 'Dabbing' when the frozen chicken nuggets are done to absolutely no music whatsoever.

It has only been six days and she has already had another popcorn conundrum.

March 13, 2017

It seems as if my cover has been blown. Today, she opened my door and stuck her head inside. "I MISS YOU, OBAMA." Yes, Jasminne, I miss him too.

March 17, 2017

I'm a complete mess. Jasminne hasn't cleaned me since February 27. I'm starting to think she is avoiding me altogether. I can tell. Today, she ate cold, old pizza.

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?

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.
