I'm talking to you, Jesse Watters

A Letter to A So-Called Reporter

Dear Mr. Jesse Watters,

Well you’ve done it sir. You’ve just hit it big in the journalism world. And I’m just going to preface this article by saying that you’ve irritated a lot of people including me. I’m sorry if this article comes off as just a rant but it’s much more than that.

It’s people like you that make me want to be in the world of journalism. I see acts like yours as such a disgrace to what was such an art form and you make me work harder to be a prominent figure in the writing word, so I guess, thanks for that. However, from what I’ve seen on various sites including your twitter page, your less than 140 character tweet was far from an apology.

I think what angers me the most about your segment is that it is actually a segment. Does that make sense? Granted, the only “Watters World” I’ve seen is your piece on New York City’s Chinatown and the little tidbits I’ve caught walking into the living room when my dad was watching Fox News. Who deemed this journalism and fit to be on a news channel? It seems you took your given assignment and said “Screw this, this doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously.” And you went and half-assed it. Oh sorry, your transitions into “fitting” movie clips and sound effects were perfect though, can’t forget about that.



I mean I guess it was “All in good fun” as your fellow Fox News correspondent and just my FAVORITE person of all time, Bill O’Riley said. Because it’s just so much fun to continue to use old Asian stereotypes like, “Do you do karate?” and “Everything’s made in China!” I’m just surprised he didn’t ask any of them, “How can you even see?”

Much Love,

A Budding Writer, Cate

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.
