Modern Mythology 2020

It's the first day back after 'break' and to be honest, I feel so unmotivated. Anyone else?

Even though I want to stay in bed all day, I do enjoy working from home. Being able to plan your day and waking up later than 7 is such a mental and physical break for me. I've been trying to plan out my college courses these past couple of days as well as study for the AP Government exam, which is something I feel like I wouldn't have as much time for if I went to school physically so it's a nice change of pace. Also being able to spend more time with my family has brought us closer than ever. I don't think we've ever laughed as hard as we did recently. I've also been watching a lot of TV shows, like seriously, it's come to a point where it's not healthy but I do recommend All American if you have Netflix.

Being a senior and basically missing out on certain events does upset me mainly because my parents really wanted to see me walk in my cap and gown at my 'first real' graduation. I'm not upset that we're not going back to school. I'm just more excited to start college like when I can't sleep, I binge dorm necessities videos. Oh and I recently committed to a college, if you couldn't tell already, which was a big step for me because I'm super indecisive. I haven't really told anyone yet because it's kind of complicated.

From the lesson we were assigned today, I was surprised to find out what coffins really symbolize. I used to think that they were just a place where vampires slept because sunlight can't penetrate through it but it's actually just reminding the audience that vampires are still dead. Also, the powerpoint mentioned how it shows how confined vampires are to the human society. Vampires are typically seen as a threat because they have super-human powers and they desire blood but they were once a human too. I think humans are so quick to judge and I think that's a major reason as to why they feel so trapped.
