I won’t become a doctor.
Remember this:
One day you will be sick.
— Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl
This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous), and their doubts about religion.
One of the best articles I’ve read all year. Here’s the link

1. I accept that I’m not perfect, and there’s no perfect time – Too many people are hanging around and waiting for the perfect opportunity – or the time when they are perfect and have all the skills they need. But life rewards effort; so get out there and work…
“Don’t Be Anti-Social During Meals With Friends.”
Everyone puts their phones in the middle of the table. Whoever cracks first by touching their phone, pays for the entire meal.
The purpose of the game was to get everyone off their phones, away from twitter, facebook, texting, etc and to encourage conversations. In other words, help cure the “Anti-Social Social Media Craziness.”
Rules:
- The game starts after everyone sits down.
- Everybody places their phone in the middle of the table.
- The first person to touch their phone loses the game.
- Loser of the game pays the bill for everyone’s meal.
- If the bill comes before anyone has touched their phone, everybody is declared a winner and pays for their own meal.
Are You Game? Are you willing to turn the tide of anti-social behavior? What do you think?!?
Necessary for finals this week!! Best of luck everyone that’s taking them! <3
