Winter Madness Rant

A real picture of me in Boston's 10-degree weather

The past few weeks have been a busy few, with extracurriculars, school work, and a cold that's put me in bed for the past few days. As winter madness reaches peak intensity, I have just a few updates on my veganism, my life, and school. While I have more on-topic posts in the nearby future, I'm writing today soley because I am an angsty teenager, and I can't make art or write music, and I don't feel like getting side bangs that cover half my face (Get out of my room, MOM. Nobody understands me). If you only read my blog for educational health purposes, feel free to click away now.

-The other day I realized that my half-consumed tub of whole foods granola contained milk in it. Milk. In granola. Why do people but animal products in stuff that doesn't need to have animal products in it? Are you kidding me? I trusted you, Whole Foods, and you made a fool out of me.

-I've started watching Grey's Anatomy lately. Who let Shonda Rhimes kill all of these people? Like, can poor Meredith Grey live? Not only that, but who let her have multiple shows? I'm also a big fan of Scandal, and let me tell you, it's the same thing, only instead of people dying from medical emergencies, you have people being murdered! Awesome! Another thing, who created Patrick Dempsey? God, did you do this? If so, first of all: how dare you.

-Why does iced coffee make my stomach hurt? 

-Why is there no good substitute for cheese? Vegan butter? Awesome. Vegan cream cheese? Great. Almond milk? Perfect. Vegan cheese? Shredded tofu that looks like jello and tastes like bitterness and sadness. It tastes like you thought you were going to have a snow day and then it ends up just raining instead. I tried to make vegan mac and cheese last month with nutritional yeast flakes, which is the exact consistency and packaging of fish food. I'm not a fish. I'm a human being.

-The comedian John Mulaney was in Boston Garden the other day, and I couldn't go out to find him because I was in my dumb speech class. Education is the worst, am I right?

-When did people decide to do everything but change their name when they go off to college? People leave high school without getting everything that they want and they're suddenly entering their new school with this unbelievable "I'm a new person" attitude. You are a new person, but you are also yourself. You are 18 years old, but within that 18 year old you are also 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. I'm a firm believer that the people who come into your life change you in some way or the other, and there is something to earn from every relationship, so kids, don't ever think you're above the people who made you who you are today just to make yourself feel better. 

-Where are all the baby pigeons? 

-I'm not trying to be dramatic or anything, but switching from Spotify Premium to regular Spotify is literally the worst thing to ever happen to me.

-I take good care of you, body, and you still get sick on my watch. After everything I've done for you? Is this because I'm not giving you ice cream anymore?

-When did it become a sign of weakness to cry? I love a good cry. I welcome it. You ever seen a montage of soldiers surprising their loved ones? 

-My ribs hurt, whose fault is that?

-Why is my room so hot? It's below freezing out, this isn't fair. 

-Why didn't 30 Rock get better coverage when it was on the air? That show is an NBC primetime classic, don't touch me.

I promise, I'm not as ridiculously bitter as I seem (except when it comes to people who are overly protective of their dogs, those are the worst kind of people). In other news, it's the Lenten season, so remember to take the pepperoni off your pizza on Fridays!
