Feminism part 2

   Today I will be talking about what started my rage for feminism. Comments like "You're pretty good... for a girl" or "YOU PLAY LIKE A GIRL". The only thoughts going through my head are What is that supposed to mean? Is that a compliment or something? Guys usually think that they are stronger than girls and that girls can't play sports. I think it is just a stereotype. All humans are created equally. They desire the same thing. Need the same ingredients to live. Also, have the same interests like makeup, biking, surfing, sewing etc. Female or male... it does not matter. People in today's society tend to break apart and group. We should be doing the opposite and unite for what we believe in. And what I believe in is feminism and equal rights to all humans who walk on this earth. I hope to achieve what other strong women achieved before me. Goodbye and until next time!

Feminism

    Feminism. The belief that women have as much equal rights and opportunities as men. I am a feminist and I am proud to be one. Many people think that feminism is a joke. The last time I checked, people fought and died for equal rights. People like Pat Robertson who think that "Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians". I completely disagree with this quote because being a feminist doesn't mean that you have to leave you're husbands and/or kill you're kids. It means that you believe in fairness. Women are just as equal as men. We are all humans but, we are taught different things based on our genders. Next time I will talk about the battles that are going on between us, you know it doesn't have to be like this.

 

Social Media

   Ahhh... so it's finally 2016. I plan to make this year even better than the last, which was the best year ever, and the secret to that are my New Year resolutions... well resolution.
   I've recently noticed that I spend way to much time on my phone(social media) doing I don't know what even. This year I want to put a little bit more time into my hobbies like scrap booking, volunteering at animal shelters or diy's. I wouldn't want me to turn into Albert Einstein's fear of technology. I want to uncover some of my hidden talents and really make a difference in world. You're probably reading this and thinking Whoa there... she thinks that social media is bad?! That's not at all what I'm trying to say. I just think that we all can find a more efficient way of using our precious time. And to prove this point, I nominate you to go the whole day without social media. Tell me what you think, you may find it a bit surprising.

Santa?

   So Christmas is coming up and I am so very extremely excited! One thing that I never got was how Santa Claus came in. Christmas was always about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Today you are in luck, because I'm going to show you how he came into this merry holiday.
   Santa Claus was actually a real person... well kind of. He was a bishop with the name St. Nicholas. Originally, he was dressed in the traditional bishop robes. In 1874 Thomas Nast, an American cartoonist gave Saint Nicholas a new look, a brown suit with brown fur trim. Later in the 20th century, he was given the white and red suit. Saint Nicholas was a very generous and giving man. He loved to give gifts and love. Later then, we became his "helpers". Now, in the year of 2015, he is a man who loves cookies with rosy cheeks, a long white beard, gleaming eyes and jolly laugh.
  

Wildest dreams

   Welcome back world! Today I will be talking about dreams, and not the goals you have in life, but the realm of your subconscious. You may think a dream is a constant play of flickering images or a story when you sleep. But really, dreaming is slipping out of consciousness and living a world led my your subconsciousness. You may have noticed that your dreams may relate to the day you had. Part of that is, because your subconscious is in control and trying to show you hidden facts about it. Only  a part of the people understand what their dreams mean, and in a couple of moments I'm going to help you understand dreams a little bit better!
   When you are dreaming you may encounter some obstacles and one thing you may not know is that the obstacles represent something. In your dream, you may see a dog. The dog may represent a strong friendship and loyalty toward somebody. A sick dog, on the other hand, may represent a neglected friendship. Next is rarely encountered, but interestingly found that the roman numeral I, may represent yourself and V may represent the number five or a victory. Last but not least, is flying, which happens to 90% of the lucid dreamers out there and may represent freedom! If you would like to learn more about your dreams I recommend keeping a journal. See you next time!

Likes and Dislikes

   Welcome back people! This week I'm going to tell you about what I like and don't like. Along the way you can maybe even relate!
   To start of, I'm going to state what I like! I am a huge lover of Jamba Juice, Nutella, Shaved Ice, and coconut scented things (not the actual coconut though). I love it when it's raining outside and I'm curled up on my couch, with a warm cup of hot chocolate, while watching a new episode of Once Upon A Time. I also love doing anything with animals, because I feel very loved when I'm with them. I love watching people get along. It makes me feel that we still have hope for the future.
   Now I'm going to introduce you to some things I don't like. One of the things is sexism. I believe that the male and female genders are equally equal. A woman can do anything a man can! In the future, I hope to help  humans end sexism! Another thing that annoys me is bullying. I understand that the bully may have problems at home, but that doesn't mean that he should take out his anger on somebody else. He can get through life's troubles by some other kind of painless method. I hope you enjoyed reading about some of the things I like and don't like. See you next week!

Is Sleep Really That Important?

   Sleep. Something many people, including me, don't get enough of some nights. But sleep is important for your physical and mental health, since it repairs your body. An ongoing sleep deficiency may increase risks of diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes.Your performance and reaction time suffer, even if you lose 1-2 hours of sleep. Research shows, people that are sleepy, get in more car accidents than people who are drunk. As you may see, sleepiness may not only affect you, but it can also hurt and injure other people.
   If you want to catch up on some sleep, you can take a cat nap during the day. Even as little as 30 minutes, every now and then can do the trick. Personally I can't sleep during the day. If you have a similar situation I suggest working yourself out with some kind of mini workout four hours before bed. Not only is it good for you, but your also going to be extremely tired when it comes to bedtime. Another way may be to snack on cheese and crackers before bed. It may seem silly, but it combines carbohydrates and calcium or protein that helps you relax and feel calm. So next time you feel tired during the day, try catching up on some sleep. :)
