The Big Questions in Life


In the midst of the madness of my final college career days, I find myself getting distracted by everything…except homework. Suddenly, staring at walls seems pretty interesting. And contemplating the minute questions of my everyday existence is even more fascinating. Here are some of the questions I’ve asked myself and pondered over pointlessly in the past few days:
·                   Why do we have food flavored like other food? For example, why is there cereal flavored like cinnamon rolls? Why don’t we just eat a cinnamon roll?
·                   How the heck does a TV signal work? You can stick an antenna on top of a television and it will just “pick up” shows. Madness!
·                   Why do imaginary numbers exist? Is it because those awkward kids who had imaginary friends grew up to be mathematicians and made up imaginary numbers?
·                   What’s up with silent letters in words? Like gnats…do we need the g there? Really? Because I’m going to pronounce it if it’s there. Example: “I hate guh-nats! They’re guh-nasty!”
·                   Why can’t girls just wear a mask and a wig every day and not have to do their hair and makeup? Oh yeah…because they’d look like clowns. I answered that one on my own.
Anyways, while my GPA has been plummeting to the depths of the Mariana Trench, I’ve clearly been thinking through the important questions of life. The question of what to do with my life after college…yeah, I think I’ll wonder about how people invented cheese instead.
