Challenge Accepted

Being a teenager is all about stepping it up. Call us out, we won't back down and we say bring it on. We might be a little rowdy, kind of random and a whole lot of idiotic but we're young, and have got a lot to learn. Let us do our thing and deal with things as they come. It's on like Donkey Kong (90s kids #FTW). Challenge accepted. 

Check out my sister and I taking one another on in the patented "Chubby Bunny Challenge" - probably one of my favorite videos to shoot!
This summer has been one huge challenge so far. My motivation to study for my impending MCAT examination has been tough to muster, but I go at it everyday. It's just so damn boring. But you gotta do what you gotta do. I've been interspersing my time of hardcore studying with tons of TV (hence the PLL, Teen Wolf, and X-Men images) and random adventures. Yesterday I went to KFC (because I was craving chicken, okay) and the people there were absolutely hilarious. I was sitting in the parking lot afterwards shooting stupid horrible singing snapchat videos to send to my buddy, Jeff (I'll admit he's better at it the I am). I was in traffic and got shoved into the wrong lane and had to take this long ass roundabout route to get back to my house. Visibly I was heated, but in my head I was like whatever and that meant blasting music, and car dancing for longer anyway. In the night I hit the grocery store (my favorite pastime) - if you didn't know I'm an expert shopper. I know exactly where everything is, down to the aisle, and which side it's on (that's how much time I spend there), and was acting the fool taking a vine video in the midst of them shutting down. The cashier was not having it when I came in with a whole cart full of food (it's the best time to get it all done, nobody else is there). Then I went to pump gas, and thank goodness I don't pay for gas because that nonsense was crazy. Came back home and that's when the video happened - if you haven't watched it above, you're actually missing out. Vine, instagram and twitter scrolling before bed time. Oh the challenge was accepted alright. I can do this, I have to do this, and I will do this - don't worry.

*So my buddy Jeff is a riot and half - lately he sends me some music picks (because our taste in music is the same ... as is pretty much everything else) and I thought I'd share them with you - "Right Here Waiting" by And Then There Were None; "Gold" by Owl City
“GUYS LOOK IT’S MEGA MAN!” “Yeah yeah, don’t oversell it.”X-Men Evolution is streaming on Netflix!!! Hello, old friend…
*Challenges to complete: remake a vine, snapchat in public, play with childhood toys, watch a cartoon, and cook something new.
 
Being a teenager is all about taking things in stride. If you ready come and get it. If you want it you can have it. If you want to go, we can go all night long (this got sexual real fast). Here and now, we do things our way. We're teens - this is our summer and we can't be tamed (Miley bring it back). Challenge accepted. 

Some of my favorite viners currently: Benjamin Murphy, Chase Hauck, Robby Ayala, the Zac Mamba & Nice Gabe
My blog post question for the day is ... what's the weirdest thing you've done this summer? Hum, probably that slushie run that ended up at Taco Bell and chili cheese coneys (Cincinnati's famous for them)

Fraternally Yours

Image
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

Riding Solo

The 20s are all about enjoying yourself. I don't know about you but sometimes (actually most of the time) I get tired of people. The conversations, the awkwardness, the social cues, and all the drama in between get to be too much to fast. You come into contact with so many people every single day and it can be overwhelming. When you get to be alone it can be a little from life, the world, and the chaos that comes with it. You have to learn to be alone and now's as good a time as any. Hunker down, turn off your phone, and get ready to start ridin' solo.  Tell me why the majority of non-celebrity people I follow on twitter are concerned with nothing other than finding a bae. ( Bae - n. - a slang term that stands for "before anyone else" signifying some kind of relationship; Ex. Do you have a bae or are you currently #singlereadyomingle? ) I cannot scroll my twitter feed without seeing the hashtags #thiscouldbeusbutyouplayin, #cuddlebuddle or #foreveralone. It

In Living Color

The 20s are all about speaking up and speaking out about the things that matter most to you. One thing I cannot stand is when people think their cause is the single most important ordeal facing the world (case in point environmentalism - call me when all that Day After Tomorrow  stuff does  down). It's disrespectful, unnecessary and just plain rude to insinuate (whether knowingly or unwittingly) that what you're standing up for is more dire or pressing than anyone else's ideals (aka every group at my school). It's okay to be passionate but when passion puts down someone else's zeal, that's when we have a problem. Get ready for a week of super serious posts - it's that time of the summer again. I'm back, loud, proud, and in living color.  *Let me preclude this post by emphasizing how personal, explicit, and downright painful most of these experiences are to remember let alone write about. It's all about self awareness, look to criticize within b
