Thoughts on Soda

So, it seems completely clear that no matter how you look at it, Soda is pretty terrible for you. I know that if I gave up soda for good, I would survive, I'd lose weight, I'd be much healthier. Also when I'm low on cash at school, I always end up spending too much money on soda and coffee and things like that.

I don't think I have a problem with soda or anything, if I really wanted to, I could totally quit at any time. I've gone without it for long periods of time before, I can probably do it again. Here's the thing though, I would absolutely hate doing that. It seems like such an easy and logical solution, but for some reason, I cannot actually bring myself to do it! And I don't completely know why!

I feel like I'm slightly more responsible now that I'm 22 and that I should make healthier choices, because you're only 22 once and I probably won't be quite as healthy when I get older and stuff like that. And whenever I hear about people not giving soda to their kids, I think its such a smart idea. If I had kids, I wouldn't want to keep soda in the house because I wouldn't want them to see it... but in all honesty I would still want to drink it. So I'd probably end up keeping a secret stash somewhere and never ever let anyone in my house know I have soda.

And I'm not like super against soda for kids. I drank soda as a kid and I'm find (unless this is an addiction and it is a problem...) but I feel like if I can help my kids be healthier, it wouldn't be a bad choice. I mean I am 22 and have no kids as of now so I really don't have to worry about it for a very very very long time if at all, but still.

Anyway this was just kind of a strange post about something thats been sort of a "flicker" thought in my mind. It's not a thought that's really on or off, its just there? I don't know why exactly I'm calling it a flicker though, but that seems like a good name for it, so I'm going with it.

What do you guys think? Is soda terrible for me and my hypothetical future children? Let me know and stuff!
-Byeeeeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
