This Can't Be Real Life

Being a teenager is all about being present wherever you are. You know those times where you just zone out and complete forget where you are and what you're supposed to be doing. Your mind is wandering somewhere else, and you're just out of it. You're sitting there thinking that this can't be real life - things like this just don't happen. That ish cray. I know what you're thinking, did I really just see or hear that - oh this can't be real life. *Video post

Being a teenager is all about about being aware of your surroundings at all times. You can get knocked out, and just go through life not really knowing what's going on - but being in a constant daze is never a good look. You've got to conscious of not only yourself but whatever crazines is going on around you. Take a second, breath and push. Keep calm and carry on - this can't be real life.

My blog post question for the day is ... when do you get knocked out of reality? I would have to say in the shower, I just zone out - I'm just scrubbing away, but always thinking of something else. Such a clean mess

Netflix and Chill

Truth - Sometimes I seriously worry for my generation. Every generation certainly innovates in distinct ways but also not only inherits the problems of their predecessors but contributes/creates new ones as well. Mine seems to be known for our apparent willingness to recognize the humanity of others and push for progressive ideals (debatable but that's a challenge for another day). We're also known for having defiled all the sacred traditions of the courting process in favor of swipes, sliding, double taps, and emojis. Whatever happened to dinner and a movie? No, we Netflix and chill.    "The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life" Harland Williams   You know you've made it in this world when your company name becomes a verb. Netflix - v. - to endlessly browse for a movie, show, or documentary to watch on a device, usually accompanied by some kind of junk food.  I.E. It was 3AM and he still decided it was a good

Awakening

Being a teenager is all about making your summer mean something. Summer isn't all about laying around, doing absolutely nothing and catching up on all the episodes and movies you missed out on during the school year. It's about doing something meaningful, finding something that challenges you and makes you think about who you are. Summer is the perfect time to do some soul searching like that Emma Roberts and Alex Pettyfer movie "Wild Child." It's time for the awakening. Since you've got all this free time, it's time to actually do something productive with it. People always ask what your major is, and what you want to do with it when you graduate - but they never ask why you're doing what you're doing. That's the most important part. If you don't have a reason to study then what's the purpose of school in the first place? This summer I challenge you to really look at your life and figure out what makes you feel something.

Fraternally Yours

Being a teenager is all about putting yourself out there. I can person say the absolute worst thing is to have someone turn you down when you've done your best to get to know them.  The truth of the matter outs not everyone is going to like you or been click with root instantly. Friendship, fraternal brotherhood or otherwise is not some magical instantaneous thing, like freaking accidentally Instagram stalking, and double tapping the heart and trying to quickly undo before anyone notices. It's definitely an ongoing learning process for everyone. But until I see you again, fraternally yours.    Fraternity has so many different meanings and contexts depending on who you ask. Well for me, my fraternity is about brotherhood, service and democracy. That means taking people at face value, knowing they're worth it, and trusting them. Service is giving back to the community, and showing compassion towards anyone you come into contact with. Democracy is justice and accountabili
