Almost There

Welp, I signed up for spring quarter. I ain't too happy with what I'm taking (had to cram in a bi-weekly 4 hour art class and PE), but hey I'd rather just finish than prolong this. I know some people love college, but I just can't wait to finish. After I get my Associates degree in June, I'm going to take some time off from college. When I started at YVCC I figured that I would have a great spark of inspiration and wake up one day and realize, "I wanna be a _____!" However, this has yet to happen. I feel more freaked out about this than I should, and I know a lot of people are going to judge me and claim that I wasted my time and my parent's money, but honestly I'm not going to just come up with a career that I'm going to be stuck with for the rest of my life on the fly. I do plan on resuming my education, but I also just need some time off. Hey, my mom took her time. I will be looking for a job. Ideally I would get on at Inklings, but if that doesn't happen I will find something else (not Wray's).

Why the Female Ghostbusters Won't Ruin Your Childhood

Am I the only one that's actually excited for the all-female Ghostbusters sequel? Based on all the sexist crap I've been reading on the Internet, it sure does seem that way. Look people, let's be frank having 4 hilarious women catching ghosts will not ruin your childhood. If it was a reboot starring James Franco, Seth Rogan and co. no one would have a problem (even though I personally think that would be a bigger insult to any franchise than *gasp* women). Somehow people seem to think that by having an all-female cast that it will alienate audiences and spit on the original films. Because 4 men=great entertainment for the whole family and 4 women=shoes, bras, and preaching Gloria Stienem amiright? Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon will all do a great job, and at the end of the day your childhood will still be intact.
