So
when you’re sitting in fifth hour AP Lang class trying to type a blog, hoping
no one can hear you jamming to Miley Cyrus in your headphones and peaking
around the corner to see if the teacher can see you texting. You look through
numerous different news sites to find something to write about and you just
can’t find any articles that aren’t boring. Then, your life gets a little more
interesting because then you see this:
“Guilty Plea in Las Vegas to Having Sex on Airplane”
And
your mind goes WHAAAAAT?! That’s not a headline you see every day.
You
think about how you could write a funny blog about this and you’re like no “It
has to be 400 words”. And you think crap, now what I am supposed to write
about.
You
keep reading that article where it tells you some information you don’t think
is appropriate so you stop there.
And
yes that is an actual article,
Then
you keep thinking about that, then you check your phone again, change the song,
the school day still drags on and on… you keep thinking when can I get out of
here?
And
still trying to look for an article to do your blog on, you don’t want to do
something about bullying or school shootings or the government shutdown because
let’s face it those are depressing. All news is depressing and then you find
another headline.
Then
you keep looking…
“Ohio
Woman Charged in Theft of $2.87 From Fountain”
That’s
another headline you read and think what?
So
you read that article:
Someone was seriously
charged for three dollars of theft? Not even three dollars?
What?
These
headlines almost should have more buzz then Miley headlines.
This article
in particular is short and sweet, something just to get the report out but it
leaves you without a lot of thoughts.
Not thoughts
like the first article where your mind is just like what is with those people?
What were they thinking?
It’s more
like you think, wow. This woman was so desperate for money that she went
digging in a fountain for loose change. Reading this article, makes you hurt
for the people that don’t have it as good as you.
I’m sitting
her complaining that I have to write a blog, this woman doesn’t even have money
for food.
Please if
you see someone like this woman, help them.
So now, I found
something to ramble on about for a little bit and I have reached over 400
words, so bye for now.
I will write
soon. Be kind to people in need, and remember to always be smart (the opposite
of the people in the first article).
