Quickwrite - "Young People are Narcissists"

http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/post/50904567455/738-young-people-are-narcissists

Are all young people narcissists?  I actually believe the opposite of the quote and I think that all young people are insecure. If you went up to a teenager on the street and asked them to point out their biggest insecurity, they could probably list you 10. I think that most young people put on a mask and pretend to be overly confident because they believe that it appeals to other people. Maybe some young people think that coming off as cocky directly relates to being "popular". But the truth it everyone has their own insecurities and nobody loves everything about themselves. Of course there are certain teenagers who really do love themselves, but the majority are insecure. For those who truly are narcissists I don't think they can grow out of it, it's a personality trait that you have and will stick with you.

Quickwrite - Minions

If I was to get a set of minions for a week, I would utilize them to my advantage. I would have them working all the time, doing various chores for me. Firstly, I would have one or maybe multiple doing my homework. I only have 4 classes so only 4 would be needed to do each classes work. I would have a couple working in the kitchen making me meals or snacks and bringing them to me as a wish. I'd have them do my chores like cleaning the cats box, washing the dishes and cleaning my room. Essentially, the minions would be my slaves, however, I wouldn't be so cruel to them. I would let them sleep at night and have occasional breaks so they could work to the best of their ability.

Survivor - Episode 8

I'm really excited for tonight's episode of Survivor. This season has not disappointed, lot's of strategy, drama and best of all,. blindsides. When the season started out, I had 4 main favorites and since then, 3 have been voted out and 2 have been eliminated. My remaining favorites are John and Hayden. John is on redemption island and if he wins tonight's truel, he'll come back into the game, but if he doesn't he will be eliminated. My other favorite left in the game is Hayden. Hayden is the first Big Brother player to ever play Survivor and he's in a very good position. If I had to make a prediction for the person who will be voted off tonight, it would be Aras. Tyson has been plotting his demise for a couple episodes now and I wouldn't be surprised to see him voted out just as he's reunited with his brother.

Log Book - November 5th

Not much new happened yesterday, glad to have finished my essay. 

Big Brother Australia - Finale

I've been watching Big Brother Australia since this summer and it ended earlier today. It aired every day, with the exception of weekends and after 101 days Tim has won! I was hoping Jade would win, but I'm really happy with how she did and how close she was to winning.
