Hot or Cold

Hot or Cold.

This is a common debate that people have when their bored. The question is would you rather be hot or cold. Each one comes with its pros and cons but yet people cant seem to agree on which one is better. People who pick cold say that they can just put on a sweater and that solves the issue if they get to cold. People who pick hot say they can just stay in a cool room if they get to hot and they don’t want to keep shivering when they get cold. Although each one sounds horrible when you think about it. One comes with sweating and one comes with shivering.

Although when this question is asked there are other variable that arent asked. For example what temperature should be considered cold or hot and could it get colder or hotter. These questions could possibly change what people pick. Another question is wheter or not these temperatures affect you when external factors are added. If someone wore a jacket would that prevent the cold since their actually body remains cold. All these factors possibly make it harder to pick which one you would want to live with forever.

So my question is Hot or Cold?

The Rich and Their Paintings

Why do the rich bid so much on paintings? Some of these paintings go for millions for dollars but don’t even look like they should cost that much. Yes, we have to give credit to the people who make these paintings and the hard that goes into making them but the prices that they go for are at times outrageous.

Some of these paintings aren’t even good just a blob of red paint yet it goes for at least $50 million, and just to sit in some rich person’s mansion. I agree that people can do what they want with their money, but there are way better things to spend $50 million on.

Most of the money spent on these paintings can be used to help fund research for medical diseases or help fund food for people living under food insecurity. Although some people do this there are a lot of rich people who only care about themselves and objects rather than actually using there money to help other people in the world. They have enough money to help them for several lifetimes if they can spend more than $50million on paintings, then they can spend double to help people in need.

Fast Food or Expensive Food?

Often times when we go out we want to stop and get a quick meal from a fast food joint. It is a way from many people to get something good to east at a somewhat lower price when you might be strapped for cash. While fast food is a convenient way to get food on the road the price of most of these places as been constantly increased making most people unable to have these meals as much as they might have liked.

Once upon a time in the 1990 fast food joints like Mcdonalds used to have meals that cost under $2 but now as the economy has shifted and price of living has become higher the price of those same meals have increased jumping up to $10. This drastic jump in price will only continue to rise as inflation continues to rise.

There is no sign that inflation will drop anytime soon as especially in the US the current people in office aren’t doing anything to stop the problem. If fast food that used to cost under $2 has now increased by 400 percent it is clear that over time people living under minimum wage won’t be able to afford these meals that used to be easier to purchase.

Seasons Loop

Every day, Earth spins and orbits the Sun; seasons change all over the world. Some countries on Earth only have two seasons, while some have four. Different areas in the world experience seasonal changes; embrace them with their pros and cons.

Countries by the equator (like Brazil) typically only have two seasons called wet and dry. Because those places are hit by the sun the most, they typically don’t get too cold, and you wouldn’t see snow in those areas. Areas around the equator are normally tropical, which is why they receive lots of rainfall and are humid. 

Countries south or north of the equator typically have more than two seasons. America, for example, has four seasons called winter, spring, summer, and fall. Some might have more negatives than positives; however, each one is necessary. 

So each year, as the Earth rotates, the seasons come and go in an endless loop that we all have grown used to.

Price of A Senior

Every day, time passes, and every day I lose vital time that I need to apply to college. The essay, supplementals, and even the activity list are just a hassle to complete and do all by at least November. 

It’s not just the college application but also the classes and homework that I have to do, plus senior capstones. I have to prioritize applying for college, but the homework and activities that come with school are like a leech I just can’t get rid of. 

The rush that comes with the first semester of senior year is something that isn’t talked about enough. Mainly because the people who have experienced the pressure of the first semester of senior year have left.

So every day I spin a wheel to choose which college I want to write supplementals for, and every day I try to work on my homework while more come in for the next day. 

An endless loop.

TikTok AI Fruit Videos

P.C – Google “TikTok Fruit video”

Like every normal person, I would like to doomscroll on TikTok, but every once in a while, I just have to see those AI fruit videos. I have no interest in watching them, but it just comes up every single time I open that app.

I don’t care about the strawberry and banana and their relationship drama; I just want to doomscroll in peace, and I see no crime in that. 

I have said not interested so many times when they come up, but it doesn’t matter; those AI fruit videos just keep swarming my For You page. I’ve reported it one time, and literally the next thing on my For You page is the same video, but the part two version.

Now I must admit I have watched a few of them when they came up, and sure, I had a little giggle, but that is no excuse for it to come back five times in a row. 

Now I can’t show people my For You page because it’s just so embarrassing when it comes up.  Fix your app, TikTok

French Toast Everyday

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all I eat is school food. Eating school food isn’t exciting anymore because it’s all the same boring, repetitive food. 

I feel like at some point the food served should be mixed up. For example, why is Monday always French toast and Wednesday always waffles? At some point, eating the same food on the same day every day gets boring, and it sucks out the fun of eating breakfast entirely. Maybe if every Monday wasn’t French toast, I would make the effort to get out of bed and be happy, but it’s not.

One of these days I’ll stop going to breakfast entirely and just eat some snacks in my room for breakfast because, honestly, that’s better than French toast. I’m not asking for an entirely new breakfast food; I’m just asking for Mondays not to be French toast. I would gladly have pancakes on Monday instead of French toast for breakfast.

The Mind of A Cat

Cats are such interesting animals to be around. They do what they want, and we just happen to exist next to them.

I never really knew what cats were like until about four years ago. They seem to only eat, sleep, and lick themselves, but occasionally play. It’s funny to think that they make their own choices and have their own feelings.  

What goes through their heads is something that I always find fascinating. How do they choose what to do, who to go with, and how do they determine who to trust? They’re very curious creatures and always try to know what’s happening like humans.

They can be very affectionate at times, but sometimes they like to keep their distance from people they don’t know or distrust. 

For solitary animals, they are quite social when you really get to know them. It depends on which cat it is, but it’s still fascinating to know about them and what they think.
