The Glass Castle: As Depressing As A School Book Can Get

So this week, my class started reading our next book: The Glass Castle. Over the weekend, I have to read up to page 57 and finish the study guide for it. I don't even think I'm on page 30 yet, and I already want to throw the book out the window like Bradley Cooper did on Silver Lining's Playbook.

The Artistic Art of Aging Artistry

I had decided when I was 14 that I would dedicate myself to being a part of the performing arts. It was mainly because of this indie film I got from Red-box that made me realize that movies don't have to be blockbusters, and can touch people's hearts without being expensive or popular. Kind of like the difference between basic, typical store-bought pastries and rare sentimental pastries made from scratch. It was enough to inspire me to reach people in the theater, and big screens.

This was the art I chose to partake in. But of course, there are plenty of other arts to be a part of. But I realized something about these arts: they're only based on pop culture.
