That damn phone

myfatcats2Leave a comment

My mom was right, it is that damn phone. Every time I go on my phone, I know I should be doing something more productive, but instead, I sit and scroll through TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest, and genuinely enter a flow state. Not a good one, though. I’ve started to notice that my eyes will start to hurt if I’m on a device for too long. My eyes start to get fuzzy, and it looks like I’m dreaming. Even though I’m aware of this happening, I still continue to sit on my phone. It’s a problem. When I start studying, I have to put my phone in a different room from me or give it to my mom. Honestly, everyone should do that; it’s helped me study better. Anyway, I need to limit my phone usage exponentially. It is a PROBLEM. This is how Apple gets you: they make everything look so appetizing to your eyes, and it makes you want more. They are probably watching me now that I said this. Anyways, being on my phone and seeing these unreal bodies and unreal beauty standards lowkey makes me hate myself, so I need to just stay clear of like the industry?? I don’t even know. To sum it up, phone = bad for eyes, self-esteem, and studying. Mwah bye.

A Rainy Drive to a Lookout

zombiegxrlLeave a comment

I really love driving in the rain. I plug in my music and crank up the volume. I pull out of my driveway and hear the rain begin the patter on the roof. I open my sunroof and let the droplets project shadows and shades across the interior of my car. Under the cover of clouds, I drive. I drive to friends’ houses, I drive to school, I drive to the store, I drive to the beach. My favorite drive to do is to any lookout. I drive up and up until I reach a spot that presides over the land below. I park and take it all in. I turn up my heater and turn down my music. The sound of the rain soothes me as I look out onto the landscape below. I am calm, I am happy, I am thinking. I find that this particular circumstance is where I think the best. I cry out all the sadness that reaps my heart. I laugh out all of the giggles trapped in my lungs. I relax, letting the sounds flow through my ears. All of my emotions seem to be soothed in a rainy car at a lookout.

Film Review: Everything Everywhere All At Once

StrawberryMushroomLeave a comment

Everything Everywhere All At Once is a film that, on paper, by all means, should not work; its story is convoluted with so much happening, with elements taken from various conflicting genres such as action, comedy, drama, romance, absurdist fiction, and science fiction.

And yet, it is one of the most expertly crafted and passion-filled films I’ve ever seen.

While the movie is crammed with so many genres, themes, and unconventional ideas, it somehow manages to excel at everything it tries. Its generic action movie premise centered around the multiverse—a concept that has been overused and grown stale in modern media—is harnessed to enhance its narrative and its themes, rather than serving as a simple gimmick; the multiverse is presented as a parallel to the overwhelming abundance of possibilities and choices in modern life.

Within infinite possibilities, there is so much to be envious, confused, and disappointed in. The choices we made or didn’t make may have driven us away from a more successful or happy life. And yet, this mindset of trying to find meaning in everyday life by chasing extraordinary achievements is what often blinds us from appreciating what we already have.

Without explicit spoilers, the film ties together all its characters and plot lines in service of conveying the theme of cherishing the seemingly insignificant gifts we have, instead of trying to find meaning in a meaningless world.

I feel like I don’t hate a lot of things, but I do have random things I just don’t like right now.

  1. College Applications (they make my pockets hurt)
  2. College Writing (It makes me feel like over sharing to a randome person )
  3. Homework (I just don’t like homework, and the senioritis is getting harder to resist)
  4. Math (I miss when there wasnt letters in math problems)
  5. Not having money to spend (I’m just broke)
  6. Taking out my hair after having braids (It’s disappointing to think my hair grew a bunch, only to find out it grew like a centimeter)
  7. Having to take care of my hair (Spending 4+ hours gets aannoyinng really quick)
  8. Not having superpowers (I wish I could fly, so I wouldn’t need to spend money on a ticket)
  9. Having only twenty-four hours in a day ( I wish nighttime were longer)
  10. Having to completely grow up ( Taxes, bills, and other things, also just how much money goes into being able to live, and just finding a job in the current market)
