Are You Lost?

I've noticed a disturbing trend lately that targets teenagers and twenty-somethings, encouraging them to stay immature and delay responsibility for the sake of fun. It sounds good at first, the way it's often worded – advising young adults to "find themselves", have some new experiences, have some fun.... But what this really encourages them to do (sometimes implicitly, but often explicitly) is to "be selfish."

The problem is that, besides those being fairly terrible ultimate-goals in life, nothing could be further from the truth.

Mouthwatering Curry (Literally!)

Yay! Record setting low temperatures! SO MUCH FUN STUFF TO DO!! I can throw boiling water into the air and watch it turn into snow! OR I can blow bubbles and they’ll freeze like glass! I can climb in random doors to my car because the rest are frozen shut!!! Or not. I’ll just stay inside and attempt to stay warm, thank you very much. By eating this curry! It’s hot and delicious, what more could you ask for? If you like spicy things, eat it like a soup. Or if you don’t like spicy things, eat it on rice! The best part about this curry? Even if you’re frozen into your house because of the temperatures that are LOWER THAN ANTARCTICA AND ICELAND, you can substitute quite a bit of the ingredients. Feel free to play with it and make it your own! I prefer my curry less spicy, hence eating it on rice. Jess likes his quite spicy, so he goes the soup route. It’s really quite a versatile recipe.

Why Everyone Should Carry Bobby Pins Or Why I Never Have What I Need When I Need It

Whether it be a school textbook or your favorite pair of shoes, we have all been there. Which is why I am a firm believer in bobby pins. Whether you call them bobby pins, kirby grips or those-things-my-sister-sticks-in-her-hair, they all serve the same purpose: almost anything. Whether you need a paperclip, help taking a stubborn tack out of a wall or just unlocking that door you didn't mean to close, they suddenly find a whole life of their own and accomplish amazing things. Now, I'm not saying they're magic, but
