I Don't Like Picking Favorites- Georgia Paraskos

-
If you ever see me in the future when I am beautiful and wealthy and successful and have a full head of shiny hair and you think "Wow I really should have married her she is the most perfect person ever" then you should probably leave because it is not going to happen. I am just too successful to be associated with someone who illustrates for books like Grendel for a living. But if you only wanted to have a totally awesome conversation with me then something you could do is ask me what my favorite color is. I'm joking that's a TERRIBLE idea. If you do that I will [insert joke here I'm too tired for this].

When I was in kindergarten I cried because my teacher asked me what my favorite color was and I didn't know the right answer. (Thank you, Mrs. Greenwell). If you asked me the same question today I would probably have the same exact reaction. This is because I don't know my favorite color. I tell people that I don't have a favorite color because it's unfair to the other colors that I like, and for the most part that is true. It really depends on what I am picking that color for because I could prefer any color in any situation. Colors are unique and crazy and quirky and zany and (cringe) I just can't pick one that I like above the others! How could anyone look at a color and be sure it's the one??

Also music. I do NOT have a favorite song or artist. I like songs for different reasons and I can't say I like one more than another because I vibe with them so differently I can't even compare them. According to Spotify my #1 listened to genre is meme rap (don't make fun of me I can do it myself) so I GUESS that could be my favorite but I don't want to be saturated with meme rap forever it do be a little cringe.

I do have a favorite artist though. He is named Keith Haring and I like his little people. I don't know why I am able to throw out all my principles for this one. I figured if I were offered a college admission by naming a favorite of mine I should cowboy up and pick something instead of laying there to bleed.
"Dancing" by Keith Haring
I most identify with the green one I think.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-

Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
