Elizabeth's Blog Post #10

 EElizabeth’s English Blog #10

By: Elizabeth Crotts

 

I know my last couple of blogs have been melancholy. So, I hope today’s blog will be more upbeat and jollier. Blog #9 was about fear and how I faced the ones that haunt me. Death is something all of us will come to know when we die. Today’s blog will be about what I plan to do before my senseless body meets a glossy, rectangular, wooden box.

Have you ever made a bucket list? I didn’t make a bucket list or a list of future goals until this year. My bucket list is full of silly, ridiculous activities and serious, momentous opportunities. I am the stereotypical traveler who likes to travel to all U.S. states, see the globe, and visit the seven wonders of the world.

My personal goals on the list are to graduate from college, have a museum exhibit or gallery of my photography, create a homestead, stargaze on a rooftop, ride a motorcycle, and drive over 100mph. For more of my interest in heights, I want to fly a plane and a helicopter, go skydiving, experience a hot air balloon festival, and fly first class in the most unfancy outfit in my closet. These are just a few of my goals before I leave this earth and the people I love deeply on it. If you ever meet me, ask how many I’ve completed.

Elizabeth's Blog Post #20

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #20 By: Elizabeth Crotts   One of my pet peeves is poor grammar. I don’t understand how people have gone far in life without forming a proper sentence. Bad punctuation and spelling bother me so much. I’ve met fully grown adults who don’t know when to use a period. Honestly, if I see grammatical issues or spelling mistakes, I will not hesitate to inform the author. I majority of the time do this respectfully but, sometimes it just blurts out of my mouth in a very blunt manner. My minor pet peeves include people who can’t close a door. Especially if it is in my room. There is no need for you to leave it cracked, just fully close the door. This also applies to windows and cabinets. Another one of my annoyances is when people leave the bathroom while brushing their teeth. I know this one is out of left field but, it just messes me up. You brush your teeth in the bathroom, not the bedroom, not the kitchen, not in your closet. Just in the bathroom...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #19

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #19 By: Elizabeth Crotts   Everyone has annoyances and irritating triggers. They are typically produced when we are young by our siblings, parents, neighbors, and even strangers. We all get spontaneously irrational when someone acts or speaks a specific way. Some people hate the word “moist.” Some people hate the sound of Styrofoam or nails on the chalkboard. One of the biggest pet peeves to most people is loud, open-mouth chewing. That’s not one of my pet peeves, but I do find it gross. Just close your mouth, you are not a cow. This food isn’t cud! Moving on from what irritates the general public, I present my pet peeves. My blood does not boil faster than when other people steal my food. Those are fighting actions in my book. It’s MY FOOD. I will even clarify more if you ask for a bite and I respond no. That is my final answer. If you try stealing a French fry, I will bite off your finger and turn it into a fry. Go ahead, ask my family if ...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #3

  EElizabeth’s English 111 Blog #3 By: Elizabeth Crotts                   Interests, Advice, and Trends are the topics that largely form blog posts. I have few to no interests. No one is going to take advice from a teenager behind a computer. As well as the last known trend I was aware of was light-up, bedazzled sketchers, and Disney’s cartoon Cinderella. It’s safe to say that trend died at least a decade ago. For anyone who’s asking, yes, I did partake in those girly 2010s trends.                   I went so far into this obsession that I had a Cinderella-themed birthday party when I was five. I dressed up like Cinderella and made my parents and siblings dress up too. The party was catered by my grandmother’s business. My wonderful grandmother made me a giant castle-shaped cake with Disney princess figurines posed...
