Oreo's Observations

Do you ever feel like life just doesn't get you? Maybe you're just not getting life. Here are 5 habits holding you back from reaching your full potential: 1. Water is bad for you! You might be thinking, but I can't live without water! Exactly. This is addiction. Did you know that drinking water can actually kill you? Drinking too much water can cause intoxication and cause swelling of the cells, leading to headaches, seizures, and even comas. Water is like alcohol—to prevent from suffering its devastating effects it's best to avoid it completely. Instead, try a cooler alternative called ice. Its higher temperatures ensure that no toxins can survive to enter your body, and because of its chilling feeling you're likely to consume much less of it! 2. Quit your job. If you're not happy with your 9-5, cubicle lifestyle then why are you still doing it? Resignation is as easy as 1, 2, 3! As your internet big sister, I'm here for you. (I can't provide you money ...

I never had an Easy Bake oven, I'm brown. Instead I had a tiny rolling pin and board to make invisible rotis (Indian flatbread). I had a tiny kitchen with cute little pans and bowls.

But even though it's just a lecture class, I'm still the worst student because somehow I'm the one always pulled over for an involuntary side bar. "They're going to want to dress you up, so let ...
