I Will Not Be Browsing The Dark Web

Who else DOES NOT wish to visit it?

Besides being in love with news in general and being able to express myself freely, I have a deep obsession with mysteries, crime, and just all around creepy things. However, I know my limits and there are some things I just cannot get on board with.

For a long while, I had always heard of the deep and dark web, but I just thought it was simply darker, more sinister content. Well, it is, but I thought anyone could easily access it. This is not the case. Things on that part of the internet are so extreme and a lot of times incriminating that anyone HAS to have certain browsing software to be able to access the content. This detail alone helped me realize that I do not want anything to do with this part of the web.

I've only been on this earth for 21 years, and yes, I have a lot to experience and still a great amount to learn. I know that rape, murder, kidnappings, drug smuggling, and countless other things occur every single day around the clock. But actually WATCHING it happen with my own two eyes is not something I care to do now Or in the future. Some people may think in a way I'm shielding myself from reality and I will accept that 100%! I hear about it enough on the news and social media; I don't need to actually see it.

Also, as early as yesterday, I discovered a trend among YouTubers. I'm not sure how old this trend is, but basically YouTubers purchase packages from anonymous sellers that include creepy, questionable items. I personally viewed a video in which a screwdriver was placed in a plastic bag and appeared to have small amounts of blood on it. Fake or not, this really made me uncomfortable and further confirmed any questions I had about possibly surfing the dark web.

Additionally, there is apparently lots of information about the world, governments, and drugs. These particular topics do not bother me as much as the thought of people being harmed, especially those who do not deserve it. Corrupt governments are no surprise for me, that's what several of them were built on. Drug use and smuggling is not something I condone, but a direct threat to humans and children is what I care about much more.

If you are a person who wants to browse that part of the web, I can't tell you "no". All I have to say is be careful, ask yourself exactly what you are looking for, and if you can handle what all that comes with it.

To all, be good and do good.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
