Missing Out? NOT.

Image
Why is there such a fear of "missing out" ? For instance, in high school, people feel obligated to go to Prom, Homecoming, Football games, Pep rallys, etc. Yes, there are people who really do want to go to these events, but there are plenty of people I know that don't really want to go but do anyway because they fear missing out... I went to Prom with one of my close friends and I loved it, but I went to the Middle College prom and we only had like maybe 60 people. It was a very intimate setting and it just felt like a big party of friends. I don't like football, but I was sort of pressured to feel as if I was missing out if I didn't go to the games. (I still only went to one game a year, the Warfield Shield game, since it was one of the biggest games).

Classics Booktag

Image
To begin, I was not tagged by anybody BUTTTT you guys all know I love books, so lets jump in shall we? 1. An overhyped classic you really didn't like: Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway. I felt that Animal Farm was absolutely boring; however,  I do appreciate Orwell's work and standing up for his political opinions in a time that was hard to do so. As far as The Old Man and The Sea , that was probably the most boring, mundane, and dull book I've ever read in my life. I totally love Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms is actually one of my favorite novels. I just HATED that book.    2. Favorite time period to read about: I utterly love reading novels written or set in Victorian and Romantic times. Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters (Emily, Anne, and Charlotte), Charles Dickens,  Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells, and Oscar Wilde... Just to name a few. From the mid 1700s-1800...
