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...
