Would You Like To Know More?

The world is made up of facts.  Facts vary over a seemingly unlimited spectrum.  Facts are the only way some people can believe in anything.  Facts prove scientific theories, and have helped us keep building and transforming our world, building newer and more advanced machines.  Facts are the building blocks for tomorrow, and remnants of the past.  Facts give us a solid ground, and help us feel safe and secure.  All people want to know are the facts.

I have a favorite kind of fact, however. Useless facts.  Completely mindless, seemingly useless facts make my day.  These facts make me think, wonder, and laugh.  After a long day of hard, set in stone facts, I need silly ones to help me stay sane.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
