Random Post 2

One thing I noticed when I was in college is that everyone has a certain "phrase" that they use frequently. One of my best friends in college (we'll call him Chet Hanks for the duration of this random post, for anonymous reasons), has a very high tendency of saying "Bruh. Bro. Bro. Bro. Bro." in a nonchalant, yet very staccato way. As his friend, I was never aware of him saying that until one of my other boys (some random G). brought it up  After noticing, I felt like it was a very funny thing to do, and it made hanging out with Chet more fun (the dopamine hit). As a close friends of his, we also started say "Bro. Bro BRUHH Bro" to mess with him in good light, and it strengthened our bromance (he also put this friendly bromance thing called a "restraining order" on me).

Jokes aside, I learned that I also have certain phrases that I use a lot in my day to day life, and it is a natural way of expressing myself. Since everyone is from different backgrounds, we should be more accepting of learning and understanding everyone's word choice. As a fellow youngling, I can also say that the effect of social media and heavy dosage of brainrot also does play a big factor (at least we don't say "swag" like the millenials smh), and that life is too short to try and be someone else (maybe this is why I keep getting rejections from interviews). 

Although this is a very weird topic, I want to emphasize that everyone has their own vocabulary and that is what makes them unique. No one has a weird vocabulary, and that everyone should embrace their own way of stating things. I want to illiterate that this is not a non-bullying post, TedTalk, or anything that serious, I just felt like yapping in this random post. So next time if you friend orders you a yappucino, make mess around with them in a friendly way and mock their "phrases" (I am not liable for any repercussions), and enjoy life a little bit more. Thank you for reading my ADHD post my fellow goats.

    Very insightful, very true, very fair. It's always fun being the one who brings a new vocab word to the friend group and watching it catch on. It also may ne bias, but I do think this generation beats all the others, except maybe the 70's they had some groovy phrases

    This post was hilarious but also surprisingly thoughtful. You made a great point about how everyone has their own unique way of speaking, and it’s often those little quirks that make friendships more fun and personal. It’s refreshing to see someone embrace individuality with humor while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. Thanks for the laughs and the insight!

    Hi Richard, I feel this is one of the funniest psots Ive read in a while.This post honestly made me feel so relatable and real. I like how you found humor in every other sentence and turned it into something deeper about acceptance and self-expression. It felt like a genuine conversation from you and really not just done for the assignment sake. Too good

    Hi Richard, this was a very funny read. It is very interesting to think that each person has their own phrases and thats what makes each other unique.

    Richard, this post was so funny, and I relate to it so much! My friends and I have the most niche vocabulary drawn from the depths of the internet and Gen Z pop culture, and I love being the person to unearth new words/phrases/sayings to add to our list. It’s exquisite!

World We Imagine Part I

Creating a better world is subjective. I believe that even if you make the world better for one person, you can make the world worse for another, for example, even if you create a great system, idea, or business, there are always people exploiting others for their own gain.  Still, I don’t think that means we shouldn’t try. For me, the first step toward making some kind of positive difference is just helping one person even if that’s through a small act, a helpful app, or a business idea that gives people more control in their lives. For me, I am a big advocate of health, and I personally want help contribute to any health and scientific research, despite me having no medical knowledge at all.  At the end of the day, I know I can’t solve everything or please everyone, but I don't really care as long as our society keeps evolving and innovating.  Ideally, I would like to find a way to make a lot of money to help solve first world problems (unfortunately the world d...

Book 1, Post 2 Mini Review

     For this mini-book review, I chose   Putting the Rabbit in the Hat   by Brian Cox. I picked this book because I’ve always been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes stories of actors and the entertainment industry, and what really happens behind Hollywood's "closed doors". Brian Cox, best known for his role as Logan Roy in HBO's   Succession , has a reputation for being candid and brutally honest. I thought it would be interesting to read his perspective on Hollywood, fame, and his personal journey as an actor. A s a college student in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world, I  wanted to understand how he became influential despite Brian's rough upbringing.       The most interesting aspect was Cox’s unapologetic criticisms of Hollywood and some of its biggest names. He does not shy away from expressing his own opinions on popular figures such as Johnny Depp, who he calls “overblown and overrated,” and famous directo...

Book 2

For Book 2, I decided to choose Feel Good Productivity: How To Do More of What Matters to You by Ali Abdaal, from Professor Hansen's exquisite category "Greatest Hits from Past WRIT 340 Classes". Now, I chose this book as it seemed to create a strong interest with peers my age, and I wanted to learn more about productivity, especially with our fast-paced generation who doomscroll brainrot on social media and seemingly has ADHD (I'm a victim). After conducting a quick background check on the author, who is supposedly Cambridge-educated doctor and one of the world's most-followed productivity expert, I have narrowed some main ideas that spoke out to me in this book.  One of the main ideas that Abdaal talks about, is that achieving more means working harder and sacrificing joy. However, Abdaal challenges this notion by emphasizing that sustainable productivity stems from finding joy in the process. Through practical advice and actionable insights, he demonstrates ho...
