If I could have any job in the media, what would it be?

I would be the STAR! I wouldn't be behind the scenes longing to know what it feels like to be in the spotlight; I would be making it happen! I'm pretty sure that I'm meant to be stealing the show. I can imagine that so vividly! Living life in the eyes of the public, people watching my every move, girls longing to be in my shoes... YES! I love it. I would totally be the most amazing role model ever.

XOXO, Bianca

What does it mean to be comfortable in your own skin?

Ah, the ultimate quest of every modern high school student. Similar questions include "Who am I?" "Why can't people accept me for who I am?" "Why can't someone normal ask me to homecoming? Is that too much to ask?" Well, everybody wants what they can't have. The pattern is somewhat evident. A person longs to be "cool" and "popular," they attempt to be those qualities, and then they either fail or succeed. Those who fail soon give up and realize they have to accept themselves for who they really are. Good for them! Those who succeed in being accepted by the cool crowd are often considered the lucky ones. But are they really? How do we know that their lives aren't really a lie? How would we know how much they have to fake just to feel accepted and worshipped? They are not really, as you would say, comfortable in their own skin. They are living in someone else's. They are living in someone else's seemingly perfect shadow. They're fake people, so don't even start with me on all the "popularity is the key to life" crap. The truth of the matter is, some people really aren't who they say they are, and they might not even know it. Eventually, everybody finds their true self at some point in their lives, and that's when they can start to live up to their own potential. You can't be all you're meant to be when you can't even accept yourself the way you are. Before you start obsessing over what other people think of you, know how you think about yourself. So we should all just be ourselves. Dance like nobody's watching, and live like there's no tomorrow.

XOXO, Bianca (a girl that's awesome just the way she is :)

Cute Giant Pandas!

I love pandas! They are without a doubt my favorite animal ever. I love how they are so lazy - just like me! Their life consists of a not-so-complicated cycle of sleeping and eating bamboo, and that's pretty much all they do besides going to the bathroom. They are so cuddly, fluffy, and not threatening at all! Why wouldn't you love pandas? Exactly - it's impossible! The only thing is, Giant Pandas are endangered, and if they continue to decline in population, we may never see them again! NO! Their lives depend on us, and we have to do something about it. I might as well single-handedly save the Giant Pandas if it's the last thing I do! Everybody save the Giant Pandas!

XOXO, Bianca

Why is it important to distinguish between news and entertainment?

Acknowledging the distinguishment between news and entertainemt is important because we need to know how to react. We generally feel good when we read entertainment stories and don't really take them seriously. When we read news stories, we should know that news deals with some heavy issues so we should take them seriously.

The Victorian Era...

I think it was the Edwardian Era. Well, I'm good with either. They both just sound so romantic! I would love to live in like France or England in that time as a wealthy aristocrat, and ordering around servants. Mwahaha! Just kidding, I'm not like that (or am I?). I would probably be the one to get in trouble for feeding the servants behind the scenes and nonchalantly tossing around bread crumbs upon the ground for the birds - kind of like how old people feed pigeons at the park! They had like, behemoth lawns and yards back in those days, so it's the perfect opportunity to prance around with the surrounding flora and fauna... I know that I sound like I had absolutely no idea what life was like back then, but I really do! It sounds good to me!

XOXO, Bianca
