Why the English Language is Magical!
KC Poe

Not everyone has a sense of magic. I personally believe that the English language is magical because it alone can tap into our imaginations and create new universes. Imagination and creativity make life meaningful and beautiful. However, we can also use this sense of magic to be mischievous.

Sometimes I like to point out the obvious, especially when the point is literally out of the obvious.

How else could I properly describe this without such a pictorial description?

Sometimes I wonder what life has to offer, and I need a little direction. How else can I do this but with fortune cookies like this one:

I think this is secretly trying to tell me that my glory is rocky road ice cream because it can fill me until I am full.

I cannot verify if that was what the fortune cookie was trying to say.

I have thought about the value and meaning of life a lot. Sometimes we put people on pedestals when we should not. Don’t pet anything on a pedestal unless it is your pet.

Life is not a gamble. It is perfectly fine to put all of your eggs in one basket. I know that I did!

If you are wondering what you attract and whether or not it has implications for you, it may or may not. I know that I personally have an animal magnetism that allows pets to flock to me!

I just cannot resist a puppy dog face!

How do you evaluate yourself at the end of the line?

This is both a literal line of fruit punch and a line being punched. This has proved to be fruitful due to the amount of vitamin C. But the real punchline is the line of puns within this entire post!

Sometimes on finals week I will study at night but only at the round table just like King Arthur would have wanted me to! It is the (K)night at the Round Table!

College is hard, but if there one crucial lesson that I learned, it is that the English language is powerful, can change the present or future, and it a LOT of fun to play with!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
