Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while. I only have 3 dyas left of summer vacation, but I'm super excited for the upcoming school year! Is anyone else as excited for the 2016 presidential election as I am? I am just hoping that our country will do what's right, because if Donald Trump ends up winning for president, we're headed downhill even more. Comment who ya'll are hoping to win. I am SO hoping that it is Hillary Clinton. Her priorities are definitely in order, and how incredible would it be if our country finally had it's first woman president!? I would definitely encourage you to check out the candidates even more on this link:

Then comment below your opinion. I'm curios to see what you all think.


Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and that everyone has a wonderful start to their school year. I will write soon!

Hi everyone! I apologize for not writing in so long. Today I wanted to tell you guys about something called lucid dreaming. So, I mentioned earlier that I was into neuroscience. Lucid dreaming is the concept of basically being able to "wake up" inside your dreams and realize "Oh, I'm dreaming!" It doesn't sound that interesting until I tell you that once you are able to realize that you are dreaming, you are able to completely control what goes on in your dream. The possibilities are literally endless. As long as you can dream it, you can make it happen :) I am a lucid dreamer, and just a few of the things I love to do are:

- Flying
- Breathing underwater and exploring the ocean
- Running at the speed of light
And loads of other fun stuff!

Lucid dreaming is basically becoming conscious inside of an unconscious state, so your dream is also the world's best councilor. You can ask the dream how you truly feel about something, and it will tell you straight-up (because, think about it, you're  asking your subconscious self.) You can also overcome fears in your lucid dreams. Some examples might be:

-Spiders
-Speaking in front of a large audience
-Your scary science teacher ;)
And pretty much whatever frightens you.

I also found it really cool that you can actually become better at sports and physical activities while lucid dreaming (muscle memory.)

If you're into it you might want to read more on Worldofluciddreaming.com
I'd really encourage you to  check it out because it has changed my life!
