Ron and Hermione are hard to come by
But are friends like that made only for fiction? Are they meant to be just a figment of imagination? Lately, a lot of people have talked to me about what they feel is lacking in their relationship with others. Words to describe it might be different, but I think when it comes down to it, people want loyalty from another. I know a lot of people have looked at the people around them and have said 'is this relationship fake? is it worth putting my time into?'
Most people just want a relationship with a friend that one can call at 5am asking to talk, and he/she will do the best to listen. They want friends that will remember your birthdays, your special events and ask you about your day. Not the friends that will call/text when they need something, but a friend that will call/text to hang out just because. Not the friend that will change their behavior according to who is around but will remain by your side even when the entire world turns on you.
Just when you think that you've achieved that relationship with someone, something happens that makes you doubt.
Yes, Ron and Hermione are hard to come by...
Music History? HAHAHA!
Sometimes I just don't understand why we have to learn/analyze all these music in such great detail. For example, when analyzing Beethoven's 5th or 9th symphony, a person can't just say "oh that's great" or "that section of the music was fantastic!". We have to get into this whole argument about why the music was written the way it was etc.
As a music major, I want to defend the idea of taking apart the music in that sense. However, as a Bio major, sometimes these 'iffy' ideals really don't make much sense to me. I often think that composers probably wrote some of the stuff that they wrote because that's what came up in their head. Actually, I'm quite positive that not a lot of the composers sat down and said, in this part, I'm representing the anger I have towards the world and my ex lover, etc.
I guess the main point that I'm trying to get at is that music was written for the audience to listen. The composers probably wanted us to give our full attention to the music and feel the music move us. What we're doing instead is reading too much into the music and taking away the heart of it all. Not only does this not make sense to me, but it is also very upsetting!
NEED TO DIET!
I can't believe I ever let myself get this large! This is a disaster!! Okay okay, I might not be QUITE as large as the person from the picture, but believe me, i'm getting there. You see,I'm one of those emotional eaters. I eat when I'm stressed, upset, angry, etc. The sad thing is that when there is a special occasion, people celebrate by eating... so I even eat when I'm happy. I was never SUPER skinny, but I'd like to think that I was pretty fit in high school. Then college came along.
Gone are the days of fresh berries and other fruits, say hello to canned fruits! Gone are the days of regular meals made from scratch, say hello to randomly spaced meals most likely super processed. At least when I was at home, my mom would tell me when I'm stress eating so I can stop myself. Here, I don't even realize that I'm doing it! UGH...
I have several friends that are quite the opposite of me. Apparently they don't eat when they're emotionally distressed. I wonder... HOW CAN I GET THAT WAY! I'd rather have that trait than mine. But this year, FOR SURE, I'm going to go back to my weight from high school! And I'm going to do it the healthy way!!! FOR SURE!!
