A Place to Throw Around My Essay Ideas in the Hopes No One Actually Reads This

It sometimes concerns me that there are people (Beside Dr. BReed) who read these. Your lives are most likely not as entertaining as you hope, therefore you get sucked into a rabbit hole of my absolutely ridiculous thoughts and ideas that probably should have stayed in my head. My apologies to all of you who suffer through this with me. 

On a lighter note, here are some quick blurbs on my long essay that are (hopefully) going to help met get my life in some order.
