Welcome to the Life of a Blonde!

 Being blonde and a girl defines someone that is just asking for stereotypical jokes to be made. But hey, who wouldn't love those jokes? I personally can never get enough of those dumb blonde jokes, they're awesome!

Along with all these great assumptions about a blonde's intelligence is the lovely physical expectations that come along with it. We're expected to be things like tall, skinny, pretty, and etc., and all that sounds easy enough! While many just make the jokes because society has adapted to their common use, they're not always meant to be taken seriously. However with tv shows, newspapers, movies, and so on normalizing these jokes, their existence remains entitled. For example, some our favorite tv shows and movies like Friends, Mean girls, or Legally Blonde all objectify and portray how blondes are idealized due to their looks because they lack "intelligence". So therefore a blonde is expected to be carried through life by their physical aspects instead of their intellectual background. And who wouldn't love to be objectified by their looks? I don't know about you but I'd rather be judged by my looks over my brains any day. When someone has a poor intellectual moment, they're told they've had a "blonde moment". What a lovely saying and I can proudly say that I very much enjoy falling under this category.

While many blonde jokes don't always carry a purposeful demeaning intention behind them when they're used, they'll always be super appreciated! And let me tell you that they are always hilarious especially to us blondes. If my brains don't take me places, at least I'll have these amazing stereotypes, right?

Who is Meursault?

 The Stranger's Meursault, displays a pattern of behavior that is very uncommon in most literary works. While readers are usually able to relate to the main character and sympathize with the emotions that they are feeling, Meursault is the opposite. The way Meursault interacts and feels about certain situations and characters is quite strange, as if he's almost a stranger (hence the title) to the readers throughout the novel. We begin to wonder, is he a sociopath? Where are his emotions? Or why does he act this way? We wonder these questions because of how unfamiliar his character is to its readers. A term to somewhat describe Meursault's perspective and type of behavior would be nihilism. A nihilist is someone that does not believe in anything, has no loyalties, and ultimately believes that they, and society, have no purpose. Wow, that sure sounds like someone I'd love to be around! Meursault's detached personality erupts strange emotional behavior. For example, du...

Thank You School for...

 This I have learned... With such an interesting and unpredictable year, I have to admit, to my surprise, that I actually learned the most important life lessons this year. I find that my life and lifestyle is more appreciative and meaningful now because of the lessons that both COVID and online school have taught me. The most important takeaway being to never take anything for granted--even the endless hours of schoolwork or early morning school alarms. One particular thing that I will remember from this year is to always appreciate not only your closest friends but also your "school friends" because if not for school, then those close relationships would have never formed. While I never use to think twice about these concepts, I now will never be able to forget them and they'll always positively linger in the back of my mind.  The big understanding that I will take away from my entire school career as a whole is that school is meant for so much more than just the classe...

What's So Great About Poetry?

Poetry- the unit that most students dread to learn about in their English class. But why is poetry so disliked among high school students? A few of these reasons, and that I can attest for personally, are that poetry is seen as old, it can be quite difficult to understand/interpret, and we just fail to see the point of it. However, after interpreting some poems in class, my perspective began to shift (only slightly not significantly though). While I am still not the biggest fan of poetry, I am beginning to see a different side to it.  Yes, poetry is all of the negative things that I stated above (at least in my opinion) but once poetry is understood, the lesson becomes that much clearer and applicable. Understanding and correctly interpreting poetry is not only a beneficial skill to have but it also opens your eyes to a deeper understanding to things that are important in terms of culture, history, and etc. For example, poetry has effectively been used to advocate and teach about i...
