Olivia's Opinions

I’ve been at it again. More short horror film critiques coming your way. To start it off we have: I Heard It Too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxRIWBoluzs The description on the video describes it as, A girl heard her mom yell her name from downstairs, so she got up and started to head down. As she got to the stairs, her mom pulled her into her room and said "I heard that, too." I liked it, that is, until the end. The little girl was adorable, but the mom seriously needs to learn how to whisper. Like, come on lady, the only way she would survive this short film is if the killer was deaf. Next up on my list: The Smiling Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u6Tt3PqIfQ This one is based on a short story. I’ve listened to the podcast of it on Simply Scary (an awesome podcast by the way 10/10 would recommend) multiple times and each time I find something I hadn’t noticed before. I was really excited when I saw this title, but as I watched it I became more and

In my presentational speaking class, our final speech is a special occasion speech. A special occasion speech is short, to the point, and given during a special occasion (duh). A special occasion can be anything from a funeral, to a birthday party, to a simple family gathering. Our speeches are to be 1.5-4 minutes long and I have no idea what to do for it. My first idea was a eulogy for my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should go that route. Here's what I have as of now: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for coming today. I know this isn’t the best occasion for our meeting, but I’m sure he would have appreciated your attendance. In his absence, we will mourn this loss, but I know that if he could speak he would say he’d rather us embrace his life. He was always so dependable, and up until his death he was always willing to give financial support when it was needed most. He helped me through so many trying times. His donations to fast food chain restaurants w

Dreams are weird. I have never had what anyone would consider a "normal" dream. I'll give you one example of the strangest dream I think I have ever had. I once had a dream that I was going to a boarding school (that looked like Hogwarts). I was coming back from a class and there was a girl in the bathroom with all the showers running, and she was running around singing "it's raining , its pouring, the old man is snoring..." (we all know the song). Well, this teacher goes over, pulls this transparent screen over the door and screams "I'll make it rain!" she then pulls this rope that came out of nowhere and the water coming out of the showers turns to acid and the girl in the bathroom just melted. I run back to my room where two of my friends are and I tell them we have to get out. Then it jumped to us at dinner where all the teachers were wearing these black hoods and were standing in the shadows until the head master, freaking Santa Clause, c

Black Friday is a tradition we all know too well. The crazy people flying through the stores trying to find the best deals on whatever it is they are getting people for Christmas, the long lines, and the classic “ I got here first ” fights never seem to get old. I had to work Black Friday this year and it was kind of a disappointment. There were no fights, there were no crazy people, just the long lines which have to be the most boring part of the whole event. I opened the jewelry counter at Kohl ’ s in Findlay at 5 p.m. on Thursday. There was already a line outside the building when I got there at 4, and I was expecting a huge rush at the start of the night. I held my hopes too high. There was no mad rush, there were no fights, there weren ’ t even semi-angry people running around because they didn ’ t get the stuff they wanted. Just perfectly sane people walking around being polite, saying excuse me, asking for a hand from the people around them and others gladl

I have a love-hate relationship with the holiday season. I love the holidays (Groundhog Day is my favorite and is totally under appreciated), I love them because they're the holidays and who doesn't love them, right? There's Thanksgiving, The fat people's holiday, it is the day that the entire country has an excuse to eat everything they can fit into their stomachs for no reason what-so-ever. Thanksgiving is the most incredible, yet pointless holiday in the whole holiday season. There is no reason we should celebrate a bunch of badly dressed foreigners deciding it was not a good idea to kill the only people that knew how to survive in that time. Well, they knew how to survive everything with the exception of smallpox, because that's what the pilgrims brought to the first Thanksgiving. "Thank you" the pilgrims said, "We will survive because you are smarter than us and we will thank you with a disease that will kill you all... you're welcome,&quo

Have you ever gotten emails from companies asking you to try their products for free, and all you have to pay is shipping? Of course you have, right? Who doesn't get those emails? I recently got one of those emails for an all natural weight loss pill called garcinia cambogia. (these are also advertised on snapchat stories) It was a 30 day free trial, all I had to pay was shipping, and me being the insecure blob of a human I am, of course I said why the heck not? I paid the shipping and got my pills a few days later. I've been taking these pills for two days now, and in the email they said that you would be able to see and feel a difference in as little as two weeks. I intend to find out if that's true. I am going to post before and after photos each week for the entire 30 day trial which will end up being a little over 5 weeks. At the end of it I will also post a day one and a day thirty photo to show the changes (if there are any)... Before
