The Article About Nothing

Just Not Feeling it This Week

The Article About Nothing
Reddit

Usually when writing an article, I have some type of theme. Something like politics, college life, or just some information about myself. There's always a theme. This time, however, will be a little different. I don't have a topic or theme this week. Not due to a lack of interesting things happening in the world, but more because I'm just not feeling it right now. So instead of some concise article dealing with a topic with some humor thrown in, I'm just going to wing it this week and see what happens.

To my knowledge, no Olympians have contracted the Zika virus or any super bacteria so far during the Rio Olympics. Which is good seeing as to how Rio was being compared to hell just weeks before the Olympics began. People were being robbed, babies were born with defects, and the ocean was being referred to as a toilet. With comments like these circling around the media, Hell was starting to look like a better alternative. At least Rio is turning out to be less of an apocalyptic place than we all thought. Although, it was reported that an athlete was kidnapped. On the other hand, he did know jiu jitsu, so that was more of his fault for letting it happen.

In other news, I failed my driver's test for the fourth time this past Wednesday. Another glorious loss that I get to add to the collection. At this point, I'm going to start investing in different modes of transportation. I guess I'll start hiding in the beds of parked trucks and then jump off when it's convenient. If anyone is wondering what warranted this failure, it was mainly because of wrongly turning onto one-way streets (for anyone who's about to take the test, turn into the lane nearest to you. Even if you have a right turn coming up and turning into the farthest lane makes more sense, stay in the nearest one. Sense doesn't work here, following the rules does). I also hesitate at stop lights. Which is because I'm nervous and cautious, two things that no driver should ever be. Apparently being reckless is how you pass the test. Maybe I'll finally get my license when I jackknife into a building.

Does anyone know if one can be disqualified from a presidential race? If so, please tell Donald Trump how to do it so he can end this nightmare. From having altercations with golden star families to possibly implying that his supporters should do harm to Hillary Clinton, this man has tried nearly everything to get out of this race. What's sad about this is that his supporters are willing to ride the bus all the way to the election. Trump could take a dump on the American Flag and wipe with the Constitution and people will still make excuses for him. After this election, I think our voting privileges need to be revoked. If this is the best we can come up with, then we obviously don't deserve democracy.

Thus concludes the article about nothing. I'll try to have a topic for you all next week. Hope this suffices until then. Good day and, as always, thanks for reading.

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.
