A little change can be good for anyone

Does anyone else just absolutely love it when your parents go on vacation and you go a few days or maybe even a week if you’re lucky without parental supervision to watch you’re every move? When my parents go on vacation most of the time I stay at my grandmas but everyone and a while I just stay at home. I actually prefer staying at my grandparents because they are like a whole different species than my parents. I’m pretty sure the word “no” is not in there vocabulary. Living in a different place for a week is so fun, I am the kind of person that doesn’t really get home sick so it is so fun for me to stay somewhere else than I am used to for a week or so because it’s just a fun change things up. I like experiencing new things and I love change in most ways. While my parents were somewhere else experiencing new things I was too! Of course it was smaller things like seeing how much ice cream I could eat within in an hours’ time. I guess my point is, to me life shouldn’t be falling into a normal routines.  Normal routines are boring. If you eat a sandwich every day for lunch aren’t you going to get bored, try something new for god’s sake! Little changes can make your life just a little more exiting. Try small things like changing up your clothes or your hair. Try eating some new things, playing some new games. It’s awesome to keep the things that work well for you like your best friends or your favorite toothpaste, but don’t be afraid to keep these good things and add new things on top. Meet some new people, try something new. (279)

"Follow me"

        Do you have something that when you eat it, or see it, or feel it then it remind you of times when you were younger? Well for me when I hear the song “follow me” by Uncle Kracker I think of so many good times from when I was young.

This song was constantly playing when I was younger. My neighbors and I used to know every word of the song by heart. To this day someone can sing a phrase and the rest of us will join in. It automatically gives the feeling of joy and being young and free again.

You don't know how you met me
You don't know why
You can't turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I'm with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'

These lyrics bonded all of us together. These words gave us all away to say what we couldn’t to each other. I think it’s important to have something like a song to bond together a group of people because if anyone starts to lose touch you can play the song and it will almost “replay” all of the great memories they had together in their head as the music goes on. And they will realize how much they would be missing if they left these people. I guess that could be taken as a weird way of bonding a group together but I think music really has the power of holding those memories and reconnecting people. To some people the song may not be anything special but because we conditioned it to mean something important it is special to us. (285)

Netflix faves

I know there are a lot of Netflix lovers out there and I am dedicating this blog to telling you a few of my favorite shows that you can find on Netflix, along with a summary of these awesome shows.

1.      Malcolm in the middle

This show is perfect for any age range and any gender. This is because it is about a family, (a mom, dad, and 4 kids) so anyone can relate, weather you relate with the kids or the parents. The main reason I love this show is because of the creativity that is involved in it. Each show makes me laugh so hard.

        This show is pretty much all about the ups and downs of growing up and raising kids. The parents end up having 4 boys and they get in mounds of trouble and each episode there is something new for them to blow up, or burn, or jump off of. (They get very creative). The relationship between the mom, Lois, and the dad, Hal, is just absolutely hilarious because even through all of their struggles they love each other through it all. Out of all of the shows I am going to talk about I really think this show will make anybody laugh or at least crack a smile because it is very unique from the normal “kids growing up” kind of shows like modern family or the middle. I looked forward to watching this show because I could never wait to see what trouble the boys were going to get into each time.

 

2.      Ugly betty

I think this show is mainly aimed for teenage girls because it is about a young woman that is trying to work at a fashion magazine and she doesn’t really fit in, but each episode she gets closer and closer to meeting her dreams of owning a magazine about what she believes are more important things than fashion. This show is also very funny at parts.

               This show is just an easy show to watch because it’s about a woman just trying to get through life. As I watched it I was just always routing for her (Betty) because she was the underdog and she seemed to change everyone for the better. This show is very inspiring. It makes you want to get out in the world and do something you love. Betty has to make a lot of big decisions in her life and she usually does the best with what she has. She really portrays that you don’t have to have the “looks” and money to change the world; you just have to have confidence, patients, and be a good soul to get where you want in life.

 

3.      How I met your mother

This show has many good characters and they all bounce off of each other super well. You have a few goofballs, a player, some love birds, a more reserved type, and then you have Ted who just can’t seem to find his way. Each episode is narrated by ted telling the story to his kids about how he met their mother. I also really enjoy this show because it is hilarious and you never know what misfortune is going to happen next. I think many people can relate to this show too, but I think its mostly older people that can relate. I think older people can relate better because it is a lot about the ups and downs or relationships and people who are already married can say “yup I can honestly say something like that has happened to me when I met your father/ mother”. Who knows maybe this will lead to your parents telling you how they met each other.

Give these shows a try; they are all very entertaining and funny! If you have other shows that you love watching on Netflix please comment on this post saying which ones they are! Thanks and happy Netflixing! (659)
