Loaves of bread

 So I've been gone for a while. Partly because I've been away on a vacation to Malaysia for 2 months, and partly out of sheer laziness. The trip to Malaysia is worth a few blogs of it's own, but what I wanted to talk about was the nightmare that happened while we were trying to go home. Now, the trip to Malaysia was already unpleasant, what with one plane smelling of piss and me and my family trying (and failing) to sleep, and me vomiting on another, so by the time we made it we were already dreading the flight home. But the trip home managed to be EVEN WORSE.  It started off small, but annoying, with some guy at the Qatar Airport giving us wrong information and forcing us to go through airport security again . And while the flight itself wasn't too bad, the hassle crept back in after the flight when they didn't tag our luggage properly and forced us to carry them around in this big metal cart.  Then, we had to wait in several hour-long lines before we could wait...

       Now, you're probably confused about what I mean by the title, but just think about games like Kahoot. If you don't know what Kahoot is, it is basically a live quiz that you can use a join code to enter.  You'll earn points by answering questions correctly, and the faster you answer them, the more points you earn.      However, most of you may not realize that Kahoot has been updated with more game modes. In one game mode, you and your class are in a submarine, and you have to run away from a giant pink fish, and then you have to press buttons of a garbage disposal, colosseum, and a bathroom sign with lines under it to not die. In another, you have to build a higher tower than the other teams and make sure Donkey Kong doesn't pop in and obscure your vision.     Another thing most of you don't realize is that Kahoot has competition now - the first of which we'll mention is Quizlet. Quizlet has a lot of the same elements as Kahoot, f...

     If you're reading this post, chances are you've been to school before. Now, usually you'd worry about if you got your homework done, or if you got a good grade on the recent test. But in recent years, we've had to worry if the current school day is going to be our last.      Currently, I'm in middle school, the awkward in-between stage between elementary and high school, which means I thankfully don't have to worry as much about an attack on my school, at least not until I get into high school. But even despite that, the looming threat of a shooter at my school puts me on edge. The idea that it could start out like any other normal day,  with nothing hinting that anything unusual would happen... and it could all end in tragedy.       If I was still living in the United Kingdom, I wouldn't be worrying about this. I was just cast it away as a one-in-a-million occurrence that would almost never happen to me. But I don't live in th...

     The internet is stuffed to the brim with many unanswerable questions. Is water wet? Does pineapple belong on pizza? Should you pour milk, or cereal first? Today, I, some anonymous writer on the internet, will throw my opinion into the ring and deliver my answers to these unanswerable questions.      So first off, do I pour milk or cereal first? Now, I may be in the minority with this, but I pour milk first. Not because I think it's better or anything, but because its just a habit I have. I don't even see why it matters, to be honest. Cereal firsters claim that pouring cereal first keeps the cereal crunchy for longer, but hosing the cereal down with milk is gonna make it soggy just as quickly as dropping it in a milky swimming pool.  All in all, I just don't really see the point with this debate.      Next off, I believe that pineapple on pizza, is fine. I wouldn't order it if it was on the menu, but I'd eat it if it was there. Plent...

  Fairy tales are short, but sweet tales parents tell to their children to kickstart their imagination from a young age and interest them in reading. Most children's media features likable, good-hearted protagonists that you'd want to root for over the evil villains. The thing is... most fairytale protagonists are either really dumb or straight-up assholes. Today, we're only covering the latter, to not make this more of a brick wall than it already is.  Take Goldilocks and the Three Bears, for example. A classic fairytale about a young girl with golden hair named Goldilocks breaking into the house of a family of three bears while they're out doing... bear things. Then, she eats all of their food, breaks all of their chairs and sleeps in all of their beds. Then. the bears catch her, and she runs away never to be seen again.   By the way, Goldilocks is supposed to be the protagonist of the story. After all , everyone knows that people who break in to a stranger's hous...

 Welcome to Florida! Our weather is boiling hot, except in the winter where it's slightly cooler than usual! Every inch of water in our states is infested with either gators, mosquitoes, or all of the above! Flocks of tourists come here each year to visit a gigantic rat and contract heatstroke under our famous Florida Sun(TM)!And best of all, our state is filled with hordes of crazy ass people who do not care about "rules" or "societal expectations" and will do whatever they want!   That's what most people hear about Florida.  But as a person who's lived in Florida for the past 7 years, I have a different view on the place. First off, I've never actually been tp Oversized Rat Park. (Insert stock sound of people gasping in shock) Yeah, I know it's the whole appeal of this place is large rat theme park, but the thing is, my family doesn't really go out that much. At most, we'll go out to a grocery store, or a fast-food restaurant, but almos...

 The world is filled with unanswered questions. Like, what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? What did dinosaurs actually look like? Who tasted candy corn, and decided that it was worthy of being sold in stores across America? And why am I posting this blog instead of the PTA Reflections story that's due next Wednesday? But the ruler of all unanswered questions is the infamous one of "What happens to your consciousness when you die"?    Do you end up in some kind of heaven or hell after you die, depending on what you've done in your life? Do you reincarnate, and become a new person? Do you just wander the Earth after you die as a ghost, witnessing events play out before you but being unable to do anything to change them? Or does it all just fade to black?  The short story "The Egg" is an interesting interpretation of what happens after you die. It starts out with an ordinary man in the modern day dying in a car crash, and waking up in an empty void. I...
