10 Thoughts Every Student Has Had During Online Classes
Remote learning is a weird time.

Online classes and virtual reality in general have been the staple of 2020. One day in March, everything shut down and we all had to learn how to work, teach, study, do therapy, and take classes remotely without much preparation. So, it's been a roller-coaster experience, and definitely not what we expected.

11 TV Characters Who Are Irritating BEYOND Belief
Maybe they never really did anything seriously wrong, but oh my god they are annoying af.
12 January
10201
Have you ever been watching your favorite show, all comfortable and relaxed, and then that one character that you just can't stand pops up on the screen and ruins your mood? I know I certainly have. These characters aren't necessarily evil or horrible people, but they do have personalities that make them incredibly irritating. They're the kind of characters that make you want to yell at the writer, "what the hell were you thinking with this one?" Perhaps they have never hurt a fly, but it doesn't matter since their character just straight-up sucks.
By the way, some of my arguments contain spoilers, so fair warning.

<p>Alright, I know that <a href="https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Camille_O%27Connell" target="_blank">Camille</a> is probably one of the most innocent characters from "The Originals," but she still manages to make me angry. Even though she is one of the only humans on the show, she somehow still thinks that she is strong enough to go up against insane supernatural beings and elements. How does that make any sense at all? I also find her character to be a little too self-righteous for my liking. </p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erica_Hahn" target="_blank">Erica Hahn</a> actually had potential, but something about her character was so unlikeable and I'm not even sure if I can explain why. In my opinion, the only good thing she did on the show was to help Callie to realize her sexuality. Other than that, she was pretty bitchy and had overall negative energy anytime she showed up on the screen.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain this one. <a href="https://friends.fandom.com/wiki/Ross_Geller" target="_blank">Ross Geller</a> is the prime example of a man who thinks way too highly of himself and treats women who are way out of his league like crap. Maybe if he used less of his academic intelligence and more of his common sense then he would be more likable. </p>

<p>To this day, I am still trying to figure out why <a href="https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Matt_Donovan" target="_blank">Matt</a> was relevant enough to keep on the show for more than a season or two. I honestly liked Matt at first, but after a while, he became sort of jaded and cold and his overall purpose in the show was kind of lacking. I can't say that I hate Matt entirely, but his character should have been removed early on in the show. </p>

<p>Good Lord, I cannot stand this woman. The writers of "Grey's Anatomy" totally destroyed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Altman" target="_blank">Teddy</a>'s character in the more recent seasons of the show. She was perfectly fine in the seasons where she first appeared, but ever since her return, Teddy has descended into such an unlikeable human being. Where do I even begin? She played with poor Tom Koracick's heart, then cheated on Owen with Tom, and then began to turn herself into the victim. How despicable. </p>

<p>The writers of "That 70's Show" really attempted to replace Eric Foreman with a new character, but <a href="https://that70sshow.fandom.com/wiki/Randy_Pearson" target="_blank">Randy</a> did not live up to the standard they were reaching for on this show. Although Randy never did anything wrong, his mere presence was just off-putting and I don't think I ever laughed at his punchlines. There was honestly nothing funny or interesting about him, and he kind of ruined the show.</p>

<p>Once again, hear me out. <a href="https://onetreehill.fandom.com/wiki/Lucas_Scott" target="_blank">Lucas </a>was such a messy man. He never seemed to be able to decide what he really wanted and he was constantly leaving Peyton heartbroken, not to mention the time he broke Brooke's heart by cheating on her with Peyton. I didn't completely dislike Lucas, but I struggle to fully understand why so many girls adore him. He seems like a classic f*ckboy to me who plays with girls' emotions and then breaks their hearts. </p>

<p>If you look up toxic masculinity you will find a picture of <a href="https://greysanatomy.fandom.com/wiki/Nico_Kim" target="_blank">Dr. Nico Kim</a>. I don't know if there was ever a character who was a complete douchebag before Nico on "Grey's Anatomy," but he certainly takes the cake for the biggest douche on the show. This man is so incredibly rude and cold-hearted that it makes him extremely unlikable. Why Schmidt continues to crawl back to Nico is something I will never understand. </p>

20 Songs You Should REALLY Add To Your Winter Playlist
Watch the snow gently falling out your window and put these songs on to get in the winter mood.
12 January
6082
For the majority of these songs, I can't really explain why, but they remind me of winter. Maybe it's their slow pace, their magical synth sounds, or their melancholy lyrics, but all of these songs give me winter vibes. If you're looking to add some songs to your winter playlist, give these ones a listen.

<p>To me, this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift" target="_blank">song</a> sounds like curling up on the couch with your partner while drinking hot cocoa with a nice, warm fire going in the fireplace. In other words, this song reminds me of the romantic parts of winter rather than the dark, depressing parts of it. </p>

Either way, this is a lovely song that never gets old to me.</p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adele" target="_blank">Adele</a>'s mellow "Daydreamer" makes me want to go drink a nice hot coffee at my local cafe while it snows outside.

<p>Similarly to "Call It What You Want," <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Sheeran" target="_blank">Ed Sheeran</a>'s "Kiss Me" is a great romantic song to listen to when you want to cozy up with the person you love. It's a warm song about love that breaks through winter's cold barrier. </p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billie_Eilish" target="_blank">Billie Eilish</a>'s voice is so smooth and soothing, and this song is perfect for watching a light snowfall.

<p>Now I know this doesn't make any sense, but this <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bon_Iver" target="_blank">song</a> feels cold. It makes me feel like I'm standing in a forest in the snow while I'm trying to find my way home. The echoey "ohs" in the beginning remind me of a cold winter wind blowing through, and the change in volume in the song translates into loneliness and fear felt in winter. </p>

<p>Maybe it's because this <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Direction" target="_blank">song</a> was popular in the wintertime that it was released or the fact that Harry is ice skating in it, but either way, it makes me think of winter.

<p>I can't say anything in a song that particularly makes me think of winter, but I like a good acoustic <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_(singer)" target="_blank">song</a> during the chilly months.

<p>When I hear this <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Patrol" target="_blank">song</a>, I think of someone wishing their loved one was with them during the holidays. I don't really know why I imagine that particular scenario, but many of the lyrics discuss missing someone who means a lot to the singer.

<p>The pretty synth-like bells at the beginning of the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufjan_Stevens" target="_blank">song</a> remind me of snow bells around Christmas time, which most certainly is why this song made it on the list.

<p>Winter can be a pretty dark time for many people, and this song is a plea to hang on through those dark, depressing times. The <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumford_%26_Sons" target="_blank">singer</a> tells his friend who is struggling to stay strong, and the song overall spreads a message of strength that is important to hear.</p>

<p>"Still Feel It All" is one of those songs that you listen to when you are feeling sad and want to make yourself feel even sadder. It's a beautiful song that gives a chilly feeling through MARO's soft vocals. The quiet synth and the singers subtle "ohs" in the background are quite sad, but also soothing. </p>

<p>Once again, the synths and the slow beat in this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Miller" target="_blank">song</a> make me think of snow falling. It also has a message about a failing relationship that relates to the melancholic atmosphere of winter. </p>

<p>Alright, this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West" target="_blank">song</a> solely reminds me of winter because I first discovered it in the winter during my high school junior year. However, the vibe of this song is a sort of angry sadness that is also often felt in winter. In other words, its more like a blizzard than a light snowfall.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift" target="_blank">song</a> was written with winter in mind hence the title, so it makes sense that it has a wintery vibe.

As Someone With A Chronic Condition, My Quarantine Silver Lining Has Been Being Able To Put My Health First
I never thought I'd hear the words "your diseases are under control," but I have, all thanks to quarantine.
12 January
4005
Photo by Valeria Ushakova from Pexels
The last few years of my life have been a rollercoaster. At this time three years ago, I received my first of many diagnoses: Crohn's disease. Then, not too long after that, I was told I had hypertension due to a condition I have called kidney dysplasia. Around February of the next year, I found out that I had developed Lupus as a result of the medicine I was on to treat my Crohn's disease.
<p>As if all of that wasn't enough, a little less than a year ago I received my postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) diagnosis, which might have been caused by the sedentary lifestyle I had because of all my previous diagnoses.</p><p>Luckily, I have now been almost a year without any new conditions (knock on wood) and I am currently feeling better than ever. Both of those things I attribute mostly to the 10 months I have spent in self-quarantine due to the pandemic. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2649695319-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;

googletag.enableServices()
googletag.display('div-gpt-2649695319-content-ad');
});
}
</script>
</div></p><p><strong>The two years between my first and last diagnosis were chaotic. </strong></p><p>I was a junior and senior in high school, arguably the most stressful years of high school. I was a cheerleader, cheering three to four days a week. I was doing college tours and applying to college. I was working my first job. And so many more things. My life was non-stop.</p><p>Despite my constant new diagnoses, I wasn't able to stop and fully let myself heal; I had too much going on. While I should have been laying in bed and letting my body recover from the inflammation in my intestines or adjusting to the new adrenaline-blocking medication, I was staying up late studying for exams and running laps at cheer.</p><p>I can take some of the responsibility on myself. Maybe I should have quit cheer after my Crohn's diagnosis or dropped some honors courses when I was told I had lupus, but I didn't. I really couldn't have because there was the chance that I wouldn't have gotten accepted into my dream college had I not kept my 4.3 GPA or had the extensive list of extracurriculars. </p><p><strong>Life wasn't slowing down for anyone else, so I couldn't expect it to slow down for me.</strong></p><p>Fortunately, all of the strain I put on my already hurting body paid off, and I got accepted to all of the colleges I applied for and am now attending my dream college. Unfortunately, my body's health took a hit from the overexertion, and I now have not just one, but four medical conditions. Yay!</p><p>Before quarantine, I was convinced that for the rest of my life I would continue to acquire new diseases and conditions all because the world kept moving at the same pace it always had when I needed it to slow down.</p><p> <strong>Thankfully though, quarantine gave me the perfect excuse to put my health first.</strong></p><p>Even just a few months into my now 10-month self-quarantine, I could tell the time I was spending sleeping in and laying in bed all day was letting my body heal much more than the weeks I had spent in high school sleeping maybe six hours a day and cheerleading for three hours after school each night. </p><p>Up until recently, I had thought it might all just be in my head, maybe a placebo effect, but during my usual six-month appointment with my doctor the other day, I heard something I thought I would never hear: my diseases were under control. </p><p>My blood pressure seems to be normal, my gut health is in tip-top shape, my lupus symptoms have completely disappeared, and the complications I get with POTS are few and far between. I am now healthy.</p><p>Going into quarantine I was mostly frustrated with my poor health since it was the reasoning for my need to shelter away from friends and family who might make me sick. Now, I am so thankful for the situation I am in because isolating myself for almost a year now gave me so much more than just not catching a potentially deadly virus — it gave me good health. </p><p>I would have never guessed that quarantine would have given me the good fortunate it has, but it did. I will forever be grateful that I was finally able to slow down and put my health first because it has done wonders.</p>

Yes, Olivia Rodrigo Is The One Artist To Add To All Your Playlists In 2021
And I am completely here for it.
11 January

Youtube
You may know her from the Disney+ show, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, or from her song, "All I Want," from its popularity on TikTok. Now, Olivia Rodrigo's debut single, "drivers license," is taking the charts by storm.
<p>And if you're not paying attention, you should be-- because Olivia Rodrigo, at just seventeen years old, is the future of the music industry. </p><p>Rodrigo got her start, as many acclaimed singers have, from Disney channel, starring in the show <em>Bizaardvark</em> alongside Jake Paul and Madison Hu. In the show, which followed two friends' viral video channel, Rodrigo could be seen singing silly songs for skits. Little did we know, Rodrigo was a musical prodigy in the making. </p><p>When Disney+ released the show <em>High School Musical: The Musical: The Series</em> on the very first day of the streaming platform, viewers finally got to see just how incredibly talented Rodrigo was, with her character, Nini, belting a beautiful rendition of the classic <em>High School Musical's</em> "Start of Something New." The show took off in popularity for a wide range of ages, and more people began to look at Rodrigo as a musician rather than just a children's actress. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2649876929-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</div></p><p>She gained a following on social media for not only being stylish and relatable, but for her original songs that she'd occasionally post. She frequently references female artists such as Taylor Swift and Lorde as her musical inspirations, and her songs have clearly been influenced by them. </p><p>It wasn't until her song "All I Want," an original written by Rodrigo herself for the Disney+ show, became a trend on TikTok that she really blew up. The song was charting on Spotify and iTunes-- something relatively uncommon for a live-action Disney show. It became <a href="https://headlineplanet.com/home/2020/04/29/olivia-rodrigos-all-i-want-earns-gold-certification-in-united-states/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certified gold</a> as sales took off, and soon Olivia Rodrigo was a name known throughout Gen Z.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-proxy-image">

</p><p>Yet with all of her previous success, nothing compares to the release of "drivers license." In just two days, the single charted at #1 on both iTunes and Spotify, surpassing Rodrigo's inspiration, Taylor Swift (who actually ended up shouting her out.) People compared her to the likes of her inspirations, with dream pop meeting alternative-electro and lyrics that will break your heart and, undoubtedly, make you sympathize with young Rodrigo.<br></p><p>The music video was released with the song on January 8, and it's quite literally addicting to watch. The cinematography, credited to director Matthew Dillion Cohen, is breathtaking and perfectly accompanies the song in it's artistic melancholy. </p><p>Fans theorize who exactly the song could be about, and while it may be fun to entertain, don't let it steal the attention from what really matters: that Olivia Rodrigo is a star and the next singer to watch.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">

Believe In What You Pray For, And Trust The Process, Because Everything Will Happen, When It Happens
When we strive to become better than we are, then everything around us becomes better as well.
11 January

I know everything in life becomes impatient when you strive to patiently wait for things to happen. But not everything in life will go detail to detail of how you pictured it, but if you just drop the expectations and go with the flow you'll experience a much more fulfilled life vs planning everything.
<p><strong>But, realistically a little impatience can spoil great plans. </strong></p><p>We are all guilty of trying to predict when somethings are mean't to happen, for instance "when will I graduate?", "when will I get a better job?", "when will I get my own place?", "when will I get into a relationship", and so forth. No matter the age, and if you feel like you accomplished everything, everyone will always have the mindset of anticipation towards what's next in life. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2649870795-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</div></p><p>Everyone has heard of the phrase "trust the process", because it pretty much applies to all elements of life, but to dive deeper it means to have faith, is to have deep sense of trust in what cannot be seen. Proof or evidence is not needed. Rather it is an inner sense of knowing that guides you. To trust the process, wholly, completely, is to not need to know what is unfolding or why, but to simply be here in the present to experience it. To trust the process means to know and have faith that there is a divine plan moving through you and your life in any moment.</p><p>It's scary to trust the process. It's scary to let go of your control and just <em>let it be</em>. You can't always have a plan (and even if you do have one, you can't always execute it.) This is OK, because it is a part of the process. </p><p>Imagine who you could be if you stopped focusing all of your time and energy into worrying and trying to control things, and instead chose to learn from each and every moment.</p><p><span></span>It isn't until you give up the illusion that you have control over anything that is happening that you can start to fully and completely let go, live your life, and watch what amazing things can happen. Because amazing things <em>will</em> happen, whether you're killing yourself trying to force them to happen or not.</p><p>Everything will work out exactly how and when it is supposed to, regardless of how and may you want it to be. Let your faith in the journey be stronger than your doubts and fears. Be patient with yourself and your growth, knowing that good things always take time. Give yourself space and time to explore the journey and the path you are on, so might well enjoy the journey along the way. </p><p>Always remember that life is the least bit set in stone, if you don't like your current direction switch directions. Things change all the time. Tide's change, feelings change, perspectives change, so don't worry just go with the flow. </p><p><strong>Everything you go through in life, you will have to conquer all the adaptations to grow through it. </strong></p><p>Nothing comes easy, nor does anything come certain. Worrying about things that haven't happened yet are just a stressor that erupts in your life. </p><p>Maybe one day you'll look back and realize you were blooming all along. </p><p>Envision your dreams, but don't spend everyday of your life planning for them. </p><p>Cherish this present day of your life, and just trust the process and timing of your life. </p><p><strong>"Without rain, nothing grows. So learn to embrace the storms of your life."</strong></p>

5 Signs You're A Highly Spiritual Diva
Tie yourself down to your chair and grab a glass of Prosecco because this is about to blow your little, perplexing mind.

Tie yourself down to your chair, or your toilet, and grab a glass of Prosecco because this is about to blow your little, feeble mind. Let's be clear about ONE THING. You're not crazy. You're not delusional and you're definitely not a weirdo. You're a spiritual being. You work from a place within. If you've ever had or experienced anything of these things, you're probably the next Long Island Medium, or you're just simply a highly spiritual DIVA.
<h2>1. You have Deja Vu all the time.</h2><p>Baby, I'm not talking about Beyoncé. AND NO, you're not imagining that girl, YOU DID SEE THAT. I promise. For those of you that are confused as to what Deja Vu is, the eerie feeling that you've been here and done this before. I've had these experiences multiple times. It's just a reminder to you FROM GOD that baby you're on the right path.</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2649862611-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</p><p><br></p><h2>2. You've thought about someone and then miraculously seen them in public.</h2><p>Have you ever thought about someone in your head and one day you run into them? Like HELLO, that has to mean something. I remember one time I thought about my 1st-grade teacher, (Who I haven't seen since graduating elementary school and who I've never seen her out in public.) I wondered how she was doing. </p><p>Next thing I know, days later I'm sitting at a restaurant and she's sitting in FRONT OF ME. I WAS SHOOK. You might think I'm crazy but the universe winks and nods at you from time to time, to let you know that you're on the right path. Once you understand that you're on a path at all, you'll begin to see them everywhere. It's like thinking about a song and then you hear it on the radio.</p><p><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p><br></p><h2>3. Nature gives you cues in your life.</h2><p>When I was in college and I was going through a stressful time, I would sometimes look on my arm and a LADYBUG would be crawling up my sleeve. It was a peaceful reminder that I was going to be okay. Or one summer, I kept seeing caterpillars on my balcony and it was a sign from nature that I was growing. I was coming out of my cocoon, and that I was going to blossom into a beautiful butterfly. Just pay attention, and you'll see.</p><p><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p><br></p><h2>4. You have experiences that you CAN'T EXPLAIN.</h2><p>I've experienced things where I could not explain. At all. I believe nothing in life is a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, even if YOU don't know the reason...there's a reason. Wait, does that make sense? I DIGRESS. I remember my junior year in college, I had my great-grandmother's coin pouch in my dresser, but unfortunately, someone took the coins. In the pouch contained, numerous dollar coins, and I was devastated. But, someone told me "You'll get your coins back one day, just wait." Well, in my dorm hall I went to a vending machine and I put a $5 bill and what do you know..... I got my coins back.</p><p><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

</p><p><br></p><h2>5. You have dreams that come true.</h2>Dreams do come true. Have you ever had a dream where God was showing you signs? My mom was infamous for this. If she had a dream 9/10 the dream would come true. You're not alone, and you're not crazy. Many members of my family have had dreams about their spouse cheating on them, and somehow… the truth was revealed through the dream. Oftentimes, our spirit guides give us messages through dreams. If you can't get the messages during the day, then they will try in your dreams. Baby, if you don't pay attention, the sign will hit you like you stole something. <p><br></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
