Last Week of School...

Yay, I guess. I mean, it definitely feels just like another awkward week of school, so I'm not all that excited. Plus, it's raining! Really?! I didn't want to wear pants this week (by that I mean I'm wearing dresses), but nope, it's raining. 

Whatever I'm still wearing a dress.

Other than that, my summer is going to be less awesome than I thought it would be because neither of my best friends can hang out most of June... One of them is going to be in Italy while the other is grounded for the dumbest reason ever. I guess I'm going to have to find other people to be awesome with, then... Merp. 

I LOVE SUMMER!

This whole "raining" thing needs to stop. 

How important is ambition in life?

I just came up with a new mantra last night for some reason...
Believe in yourself; Let passion be your drive and faith be your guide.
I think this is totally applicable to ambition because when you are ambitious, you have to have a drive and a reason to keep going. I don't really know what else to say because I'm not that ambitious at all. I wish I was, though!

What is the most important aspect of friendship?

Kindness, humor and honesty are all important parts of a friendship, but to me, you can't have a friendship without loyalty. Why loyalty? Because that's how you know he or she is going to be there for you forever! I am blessed enough to have the most loyal best friends on earth, so I can't possibly ask for anything more than that. :)

CONFIRMATION!!!

So there's this thing where you're Catholic, and you get confirmed, which is basically an elaborate ceremony in which you confirm that you're actually Catholic. IT'S SO FLIPPING AWESOME AND IT'S ON SATURDAY AND I'M SO EXCITED YAYYYYY. 

It is SUCH a RELIEF to have something good happen in my life right now considering I've had the most stressful week ever because of exams and whatnot. YEAH!

Is the media too intrusive in people's lives?

I believe that the media has crossed the boundary of decency countless times. This applies especially to paparazzi, who seem not to mind intruding into the lives of celebrities. I think that there is a point where the media is too intrusive because most of the time, the footage or quotes a photographer or journalist gets from a person can be taken out of context. Even though public figures do technically sign on for this type of exposure, it is to no one's benefit when someone's life is ruined by the press. I do not think it is ethical for the media to do this because they break into people's private lives, and that isn't right. Even though we as the public feel the need to know everything going on in our favorite celebrities' lives, I feel that celebrities should have more privacy rights. This is especially true for celebrities with families so that their children do not have to deal with the press pestering them and negatively affecting their childhood. So yes, the media is too intrusive, but as long as the never ending demand for celebrity exposure exists, this is not going to change for a very long time.

How I deal with setbacks

Periodically, I have these "reevaluating my life" sessions in which I take a look at my progress in these sixteen years of existence. This is good because my life/thoughts/sanity are rarely in balance for more than a couple of weeks... so these sessions help me reorganize my entire life. I'm not going to explain my thought processes during this time because it's hard to explain, but... Bleh.

Bianca's Limerick - Note: Sarcasm Used.

There once was a girl named Bianca
Who's crazy just like Willy Wonka
She said with a sigh,
"I just want to cry."
And at that she left for Sri Lanka

What is the purpose of space exploration?

Absolutely nothing. The whole "space race" thing is getting really out of hand and it is extremely unnecessary. The US is spending billions of dollars to get people into space just for bragging rights. I really don't understand why the government or whomever is running this charade thinks it necessary to send people to space. OK, so we're the number one country in space exploration, hoorah, we still have thousands of jobless/homeless/starving/sick/old people roaming around. But who cares when we can say we sent fruit flies into outer space, right?

The greatest advantage of cellphones

In my opinion, technology is moving at a pace WAAYYYY too fast for me to handle. It's really annoying, actually, to wake up one morning and hear an announcement that a new version of your (insert technological device here) comes out in a few months. Just when you think you're a tech-savvy hip person, corporate conglomerates flash a new reason to waste your money in front of your face. I digress. The most important use of cellphones today is to communicate, at least, according to my lifestyle. Also, taking pictures is probably my second most frequent use for my phone. Documenting memories is important and so is texting. Seriously though. Some people need to CHILL THE CRAP OUT about technology. I don't see why people let media suck time and energy out of their livesssssss! Geeeeezzzz.
