Hi guys, I’m back with more rants! I hope you’re all ready for this one because I’m going to be releasing all my “two-months-into-high-school” frustration. Going into high school, in my opinion, is an experience that you could try to explain but could never understand completely unless you’ve been there. It’s more of a feeling…
Old films will forever have a special place in my heart. I love black and white movies, especially the ones made in the early-mid 20th century. To me, they beat all of the new modern movies. My favourite thing is that little glitch on the screen that you can only see in those older B&W movies. I’m…
As a “special edition” post for my one year anniversary here at YAA, I’ve decided to remake one of my most favourite posts! One year later, I’ve changed a lot. I have new and different perspectives, opinions, interests and obviously, a new spectrum of music taste. These songs will be all different from the last…
Ah, the 1980’s, what a time to be alive. Forever wishing I was alive during the same era as young Leonardo DiCaprio and Corey Haim. You too? Let’s hurt. 2017? No thanks, I’m good. 1980? Yes, please! Let’s take a look: First of all, the movies. John Hughes, thank you for existing and blessing us…
Hello, it’s almost (and for some of you, it’s already) back to school! End of summer, start of fall, but more importantly: the point in which all the things you’ve been putting off the entire summer is catching up to you… The “oh-I’ll-practice-my-piano-later” doesn’t work in late August, nor does the “I’ll-read-tomorrow”. SCHOOL. STARTS. IN.…
(Don’t mind the fact that I sound like a beauty guru) Summer’s only half way past, but it’s given me enough time to try out some new things that have quickly earned a spot on my favourites list. The month of July for me had been a pretty busy month, I always had something to…
Recently (April actually), I went on a trip to Quebec (Ottawa and Montreal) with my school! And realising how much I love to watch travel vlogs, I decided to make one so I could share my trip with you guys! There isn’t any speaking in this because I hate hearing my recorded voice, so this…
This is a slam poem I wrote for my English class about World War II. It’s pretty deep, so I suggest you get your tissues ready. I sit alone on my wobbly three-legged stool As I face the grey mush of a dinner which balances on what’s left of my dining table I let myself…
These are a couple original short stories written by me over the past three years, so I’m practically sharing with you, my entire junior high life for your amusement. You are so welcome. Update: read part 2 here! Affinity Even though I couldn’t see her through the mess of people, I had an idea of…
If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve probably watched or heard of a show called “Riverdale.” It’s streaming on Netflix and has caught the attention of quite a large audience. x Riverdale is based on the Archie Comics (hence the name) so all the characters featured in the…
SAVE. THE. BEES. x Starting in 2006, the honeybee population started to decline drastically. We need these bees! They help pollinate 80% of food crops and are responsible for $40 billion worth of our national produce each year. If we just sit here and do nothing while the bees slowly slip…
According to dictionary.com, conspiracy theory is defined as “a theory that explains an event as being the result of a plot by a covert group or organisation; a belief that a particular unexplained event was caused by such a group.” I define it as “an eye-opening theory that could be totally true and makes you question everything you’ve…
Google is a powerful search engine that can find the answers to almost all your questions, but can it give better answers than me? Probably, yes, but let’s do this anyways. What Am I Riddles (answers at the bottom) A) I am the beginning of something important, yet the end of something fun. I am…
I have read lots of amazing books and I have taken it upon myself to share with you guys a couple of my favourites that I think will earn a spot on your reading list. These books are the only ones I have ever reread because they’re just really that good. But take this warning:…
This is something you’ve probably seen all over the internet. Where people either play with slime or mix paint or cut kinetic sand. (x x x) Those things are made to satisfy people and make them feel good, just like how these pictures make you feel good: (x) Like this jar of untouched peanut butter: (x) And this…
