The Theory of Things

This is the start of my bucket list. A jumbled up, diverse assortment of things to accomplish, experience, see, visit, etc, etc. This list is constantly growing and changing in a labyrinth kind of way. Some things on it might be a little tricky or require a bit of luck to check off, but it doesn't hurt to add it to the list anyway.  So, I now present to you the start of my master bucket list: Stick with a blog for longer than a month (already have 3 failures) Run a marathon Implement a successful business project in my community Learn to swing dance Visit Hawaii, New Orleans, Italy, and England Go on an actual road trip (That one time when I hit up every ice cream shop in my town doesn't count) Visit a volcano Find and buy old political campaign memorabilia  Learn to play the trumpet (in progress) Become a crochet and knitting master (I have a container full of a million forgotten projects) Enter a writing competition (and try to win more than a participation...

The world: A bitter, two-faced force A backstabbing friend at best Maybe not a friend at all; But she did not need the world. She did not love the world, At least, this world. Perhaps, Possibly, Another?

After another crazy year of school, my first day of summer break finally began this Friday. (Yay!) I was super duper excited to finally start up a regular blog, now that I had time to focus on it. As soon as I got home Friday, I sat down at my computer, eager and ready to create my beautiful blog. However, I had forgotten about one important step: thinking up a name. You're probably wondering how I managed to forget that step; yeah, me too. For the past few months, I had been so enthusiastic about starting a blog in the summer, and I had planned it all out in my head. But, I somehow missed this one super important part, and now I was stuck right at step one. My mind was at a blank for ideas. After 2 hours of writing down words and trying to find the right combination, one of them finally clicked: The Theory of Things. A very vague and general title for a very general blog. I plan on writing about anything and everything that comes up in my life, providing readers with my tho...
