Describe Yourself in 3 Fictional Characters

So everyone on the internet has been doing this thing where they try to describe themselves in 3 fictional characters. I'd be more interested to see how other people would describe me in 3 fictional characters, but I decided to give this a shot anyways,

So here's the four-paneled image I made with my fictional soul-sisters. I picked Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, Annie Edison from the show Community, and Leslie Knope from the show Parks and Rec.

Everything You Need To Know About Anosmia

Anosmia is just the fancy word for not having a sense of smell. Some people lose it in an accident but other people, like me, are born without it. It's not very common so anytime somebody finds out that I was born without my sense of smell, They have questions. So here are the answers to those questions.

"You can't smell anything?"

Nope, nothing.

"How do you taste?"

The problem with this question is that...I don't know. I don't really have a reference point. As far as I can tell, I can taste. Just not as well as other people. The doctor said I could probably only taste sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory. That was 12 years ago, and for the last few years I've noticed this to be true. I can't really taste specific flavors or spices.

"So I could...I mean, somebody could fart right now and you wouldn't know?"

As long as I can't hear it, nope. It would be silent but not deadly. To me at least. But even if I could hear it, it doesn't bother me cause it's just a funny noise. Farts make me laugh.

Are your other senses stronger?

No, probably the opposite actually. As I already said, I supposedly can't taste normally. On top of that I'm legally blind without my glasses and I guess my hearing is okay, I just feel like I'm going deaf because I have to ask people to repeat themselves all the time.

"How did you figure this out?"

10 Signs You Should Invest in a Day Planner

Whether you choose to go old school with a paper planner like I do, or decide to use an app on your phone, staying organized is important. However, I know plenty of people who think they're getting by just fine without any sort of organization tools. For those people, here are 10 signs you should probably invest in some sort of day planner.

1) You're buried under a pile of sticky-notes.

I understand the need to quickly write something down that you'll need to remember later. Sticky notes are good for that. But where do you put them? On your forehead? The back of your phone? Having a planner is good because you have somewhere to stick all those sticky notes. And then when you're done with it, you can remove it from your planner so it stays neat and uncluttered.

2) You're always running late.

If you are having trouble remembering what time you have to be places, I have a solution for you. You can write down appointment times in your planner. This is assuming you remember you have an appointment at all...

How to Relieve an Annoying Headache

I decided to write this post because I just got over a three day migraine today. Even though I get headaches all the time, I'm always googling new ways to find relief, hoping to find the perfect magical cure. As I'm sure you do too.

I've tried almost everything, so I want to tell you about some of the things that helped me. Hopefully some of these tips will bring you relief. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. If your headache is abnormal or persists for longer than usual, please go see your doctor.

before you do anything, you need to ask yourself what kind of headache you are experiencing. It's important to know what is causing the pain, that way you can figure out the best plan of attack. There are plenty of guides online, so figure out if you're experiencing a sinus headache, a tension headache, or a migraine, because treatment for each kind will be unique.

Donald Glover's New Show "Atlanta" is Gritty, Humorous, and Surprising

Ask any of my closest friends who my favorite actor/rapper is, they'll tell you it's Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino.) It's true, I love everything he does. I've seen every episode of Community and I can rap "Bonfire" without messing up.

So of course, when I heard about the new show he created for FX, I was on board before even knowing the premise. All I knew going in was that it is based in Atlanta (duh) where Glover is originally from, and that it is loosely autobiographical. Or at least, it's based on his experiences growing up there.

Cool, count me in. I lived in Atlanta for 5 years so that alone is a selling point for me.

I don't have cable since I'm a millennial and Netflix and Hulu exist. Thankfully, they've made the pilot episode available on their Facebook page and on FX's youtube page.

So I finally got around to watching the first episode today and I have some thoughts about it.

Why Everybody Should Own a Dog

I'm a dog person, all the way. Don't get me wrong, I like cats too. Honestly I would prefer the company of almost any animal over a human. But there's a reason dogs are called man's best friend. They are the most pure thing on this planet, and we probably don't deserve their love.

This is my puppy, Rory, when he was still growing. He's a mix between Chihuahua, Schnauzer, and Poodle. But just look at those eyebrows. And that moustache. And those paws. Tell me that isn't the cutest thing ever. He looks like an angry old man but he's not. He's just a sweet little baby, that wants to play fetch and chew on my hair. (Maybe this blog post was an excuse to show off my adorable dog. I bet you're not even mad.)
