(free) Struggling to come up with a blog title

  As a shallow person, it is very hard for me to think of something to write for my blog when teacher gives a free topic. I don't know anything about this world and I have very little knowledge about stuff around us. My terrible English isn't helping me either because I can't just write a typical essay and call it a day because my vocabulary is very limited. Of course I can read more books to improve but as someone that is lazy, procrastination seems to be my first priority. This is probably not a healthy lifestyle. Wait, it isn't.

  Since I don't know what to write I can just write about random stuff that comes to my mind. Let's talk about dreams, like just normal people talking about how weird dreams are instead of being all scientific and stuff. I don't want to dive so deep into something that I don't really care. Dreams, weird, random, easy to forget. I don't know why but according to people who studies dreams, they say that dreams are a universal language which kind of make sense since we are all the same species? I guess? But they (people who studies dreams) claim that dreams are signs of things that are currently happening in our lives which is not a surprise but it is quite fascinating because, sleeping in such a deep state but still being aware about life problems and on going events in life is quite a mystery. The subconscious mind is said to be a power part of our minds since it controls our habits and the way we act most of the time.

  I am very lazy to continue with this because my limited knowledge about dreams aren't getting me nowhere. I just noticed I have made the 'free' topic into a 'free' blog. I should do this often so that I don't have to think about the title, so expect another one of these random.... thing, Paragraphs thingy?

(free) Love

  Love encompasses a variety of strong and positive emotional and mental states, ranging from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection and to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse differs from the love of food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment.

  Love can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection, as "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.

  Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love has been postulated to be a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

(free) Internet meme

  An Internet meme, commonly known as just meme, is an activity, concept, catchphrase, or piece of media that spreads, often as mimicry or for humorous purposes, from person to person via the Internet. An Internet meme may take the form of an image, hyperlink, video, website, or hashtag. It may be just a word or phrase, sometimes including an intentional misspelling. These small movements tend to spread from person to person via social networks, blogs, direct email, or news sources.

  Internet memes may relate to various existing Internet cultures or subcultures, often created or spread on various websites Fads and sensations tend to grow rapidly on the Internet because the instant communication facilitates word-of-mouth transmission. Some examples include posting a photo of people lying down in public places, known as 'planking' and uploading a short video of people dancing to the Harlem Shake.

  The word meme was coined by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene as an attempt to explain the way cultural information spreads. Internet memes are a subset of this general meme concept specific to the culture and environment of the Internet. The concept of the Internet meme was first proposed by Mike Godwin in the June 1993 issue of Wired. In 2013, Dawkins characterized an Internet meme as being a meme deliberately altered by human creativity—distinguished from biological genes and his own pre-Internet concept of a meme, which involved mutation by random change and spreading through accurate replication as in Darwinian selection. Dawkins explained that Internet memes are thus a "hijacking of the original idea", the very idea of a meme having mutated and evolved in this new direction.

  Further, Internet memes carry an additional property that ordinary memes do not—Internet memes leave a footprint in the media through which they propagate that renders them traceable and analyzable.

Adjectives

  Our English teacher told us to bring colour pencils the day before an activity for our next English lesson. She did not mention what we were going to do so we just brought the colour pencils. When it was English class, she told us that we are going to do a drawing activity. The activity was simple, we had to draw a monster and write a description for its looks. Then, we had to give the description to our friends so that they can recreate the monsters drawn using the descriptions. We took quite some time to finish this activity.

  When we finished, the teacher asked us what did we learn from this activity. I have learned that descriptive writing is important and when we describe something, we should be detailed and accurate. It is important because when we write something, the reader should know what we are writing and be able to imagine the words into picture.

  It is also important to use adjectives when we are writing a descriptive essay because it can help show what we wrote to the readers. Moreover, adjectives can help set up the mood for a piece or make the writing more lively. When we use adjectives, we have to use different words to describe the same things such as feelings, size and etc.

  Besides that, I also learned that I should be more careful when writing because I made a spelling mistake and my friend couldn't fully understand what I wrote.

What actually transpired during the holidays

  During the holidays, nothing much had happened because I don't really have friends that wants to hang out. Most people are going out with their families and some are even traveling but I don't really have any plans. Therefore, nothing transpired during the holidays. I stayed home for the holidays and I procrastinated.

  Writing this title probably isn't a good idea since I have literally nothing to talk about. Of course, I can write something fake just to finish this "assignment" but I really don't want to write something that isn't true. It's my blog and I hope I can at least not write all those essays that require you to write things that you don't even agree on.

  Holidays are not the best days for me but school days aren't too. I am contradicting myself but I am just confused what to write about to be honest. Having a title that had nothing to write about makes me write this thing, this piece of nothing, just me rambling about how I have nothing to do during every holidays.

  The holidays always consist of me laying on bed, procrastinating, thinking about how I should be productive but never does it, thinking about how I messed up, thinking about bad choices I made, the small details that makes me cringe everytime I think about it. I mean, seriously, people don't even remember the  small things I messed up but I still regret everytime the thought comes to my mind. This is just confusing.

  Maybe something did transpired during the holidays. I overthinked again. That's what happened.
