If I could spend the afternoon with three people of my choice, dead or alive, I'd choose Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco. I decided to choose the Big Bang Theory cast because their topic of conversation is always hilarious, interesting, and extremely random. For this afternoon, I would want to spend it in the apartment room that is Sheldon and Leonard's on the show. Most of the time on the show, the scenes are in their apartment room and it's pretty cool. There's lots of food and chairs so it looks fun. The contents of this dream afternoon include: eating, talking about random things, playing video games, and forcing Jim Parson's to make me a math prodigy in about 3 hours.
I know this magical afternoon sounds really boring, but it's nice to just chill every once in a while and relax, that's why I'd spend it this way.

Most Bogus Field Trip
The absolute worst field trip I have ever been on was to the Morton Grove Historical Museum in second grade.
This museum is literally just a house that contains all these objects and artifacts from where I grew up. It was so boring and dull, that the most interesting thing there was a type writer. In the museum all the rooms were very old fashioned, so I think the whole purpose of this field trip was to show kids how the lifestyle from back in the day was different to how it is now. Instead of going to this museum, I could have went to my grandma"s house where there are: disposable kodak cameras, wallpaper, and no tv. From this field trip I learned nothing and wasted my time. It was the most useless field trip I have ever been on.
Not only was the museum bogus, but the food after was even more horrible. After the museum we were taken to a restaurant called Kappy's which I've never been to before. So as my second grade self, I ordered a hot dog, trying not to be too risky with this decision. You'd think that it's very difficult to mess up a simple hot dog, but no. Somehow the Kappy's chef found a way. Ever since second grade, I have referred to this restaurant as 'Krappies".
Overall this field trip was horrible and I would rather have stayed at school that day learning. And that's really saying something because I used to despise school. I hope to never go into that museum or Kappy's ever again.

The Perks of Movies
Everyone loves movies. They come with the perks of: popcorn, cozy blankets, and relaxation. But, the best perk is the movie itself. For this blog, I'll be reviewing the most heartbreaking, yet touching film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower".
Summary:
After being hospitalized, fifteen year old Charlie Kelmeckis is not only coping with the suicide of his best friend, but the anxiety of approaching his first day of high school alone, the death of his aunt Helen, and the fear of being stuck in his head the entire 4 years of high school. To lessen his tension, Charlie begins writing letters to a stranger who he heard was nice, but has never met.
At school, Charlie meets his English teacher, Bill, who gives him the best advice, to make one friend on the first day. With this in mind, he steps out of his comfort zone on a Friday night football game, and approaches two senors who will change his live, Patrick and Sam.
During the course of his freshman year, Charlie has his first kiss, deals with bullies, experiments with drugs and drinking, and makes friends who invite him in as a "wallflower". His life turns around with the help of Sam and Patrick, mix tapes full of iconic songs, classic books from Bill, and writing.
Unfortunately as the school year comes to an end, a secret that has repressed Charlie since a young age comes back into his head as he realizes really what has happened in his life. Remembering this secret causes Charlie to have a severe mental breakdown, concluding in him being hospitalized once again.
The closing letter concludes with feelings of hope: getting released from the hospital, forgiving his aunt Helen, finding new friends his sophomore year, and trying not to be a wallflower. Charlie intends to get out of his head and into the real world, participating in his life instead of watching it fly by.
Recommendation:
If you're looking for a movie to leave you in tears but paint the most beautiful smile across your face, I highly recommend this movie. It'll warm your heart but break it at the same time. I've learned countless lessons from this film, and some important life advice. Not only is the movie phenomenal, but the book is as well.
9/10 overall.

Music = My Life
I love music because it somehow finds a way to define my every mood and feeling. When I'm happy, it's country. Coldplay or the Fray for when I'm sad or tired. When I'm angry, my rant session includes me rapping every lyric of an Eminem song. This is why I love almost all types of music, because there's different messages and meanings in every song.
Most of the time when I'm listening to music, it has to do with my mood at that exact moment. Right now it's getting late, and I've had a nice relaxing day. So, alternative is the way to go, to perfect today. Below I'll list the artist and their songs (since most are from the same artists) and my favorite album from them.
COLDPLAY - Violet Hill, The Scientist, Fix You, Paradise, Yellow, A Message, Green Eyes
THE FRAY - Look After You, Over My Head, You found Me, How to Save a Life
THE LUMINEERS - My Eyes, Stubborn Love, Slow it Down, Cleopatra
MAROON 5 - Sunday Morning, She Will Be Loved, This Love, Misery
Here's some other songs:
1. I Went To The Hospital - Cass McCombs
2. Wonderwall - Oasis
3. Alseep - The Smiths
4. Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol
5. You - Switchfoot
6. Stuck With Me - Timeflies
7. Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
8. Words - Skylar Grey
9. American - Lana Del Rey
10. Rocket Man - Elton John

Dear President Trump
Dear Mr. Trump,
There's things that you say and do that I totally disagree with, but some that I agree. Your personality and your word choices aren't the best and need improvement. Something that you should always remember is to think before you say. Your words about women, people with disabilities, and people of other race, don't come out in a way that sounds appropriate to the society. Most people, and from my perspective as well, hear all the negativity you say because you exaggerate your thoughts and only focus on what's important to you, rather than what is important to the community. My biggest tip to you is to figure out what you want everyone to hear, and say it in a way that's convincing.
In some of your main concerns involving the deportation of illegal Mexicans, you stereotype that all people of Mexican heritage are "illegal" and "rapists". This I entirely oppose because: 1. not all Mexicans are illegal or rapists and 2. there's many people from other origins that actually are illegal and some that have raped others. Yes, I understand that there really are illegal people in the United States coming here from Mexico, but that doesn't mean every person that is from a Mexican decent is illegal.
Your thoughts and comments on women are extremely awful. It's hard to consider that such foul words would come from a man who has a wife and two daughters. I know that you said these things in the past, but your actions proved that you really don't respect women. I also find it hard to believe that the current President of the United Stated, would mimic a reporter with disabilities on live television, in front of most of the nation.
I hope to see that in the future you'll think of these mistakes and take care of them cautiously with your words and your actions as well. Thank you.

"One" gift with "many" reasons. Monopoly ;)
I got many presents this year, including Monopoly Empire. This present was given to me by my good friend Maddie, and it is by far my favorite present that I received this year. A couple years ago Maddie and I would play Monopoly for hours almost every day, until unfortunately, pieces were lost, boards were thrown away, and hearts were broken. It was a very tragic moment in life. :(
My facial expression from when I saw the gift still wrapped, to when I was ripping off the paper off out of excitement, changed dramatically. After I opened this gift, I basically ran to Maddie and choked her to death.(hehe love you Maddie).
I'm really grateful that I got this present because it brings back a lot of fun memories, and I've been playing it with my brother for about 3 hours every night... I may have a slight Monopoly addiction. But that's okay because I enjoy it a lot. I hope to start playing with my friends again just so I can beat them.

My Name
My name means wealth and grace. It means that someone needs me. It means that I did something wrong. It means joy and love when it's called so effortlessly. It's poetic from the first syllable to the last thanks to Shakespeare. My name doesn't really come from anywhere, it's just for me.
I've never really though of how people are portrayed by their name, but my name suites me perfectly. My real name is Jessica but no one really ever calls me that because it's too formal to me, so I go by Jessie. The name Jessie fits perfectly for me. It's short and simple (just like me ;). It's tough yet sweet at the same time. It's just the right name for me.
My last name means "The Life Path". I hope that names do affect one's life, because if you put my name together it means "A path of wealth and grace to life". I wouldn't mind that happening.
