#5. Something Fresh?

-



Hello, welcome back to my blog! This morning I ate something. It's nothing interesting but I just wanted to give you a quick splatter of my experience (see what I did there, splatter).  Anyways, you're going to have to guess what it is. 


Crunch.

I opened the metal case which it lay in. A whiff of a fresh but almost spicy air hit my nose. I picked up the small white circular object and placed it onto my tongue. I don't like the way it sits on my tongue dissolving so slowly, so I bite down on it. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. I exhale with my mouth to smell the fresh scent, but I realize that it wasn't even necessary. I feel the air in my mouth seep into the back of throat and into my nose without even opening my mouth once more.



A Cold Burn

It burns. It's a weird burn. A cold burn. My eyes water a bit as the scent makes its way up into my eyes. I probably shouldn't have chomped down on so many. Can you guess what it is yet?



A Mistake.

I moved on with my day but the flavor in my mouth stuck. I soon found myself within arms grasp of a cup of cold water and I took a big gulp, forgetful of what I had eaten only moments ago. I found myself quickly regretting it. The flavor prominently revealed itself to still remain in my mouth. I felt a quick sting pass over my tongue as it made contact with the cold water. It was as if my tongue had become suddenly frosted over, like how the dew on leaves frosts during the winter nights. 

Hopefully by now you realize what it is I ate. It's like a right of passage for every human to experience this at least once during their lifetime. The sting. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this quick blog. Stay tuned for the next. :)

    Hey Sofia! I just want to take a guess on what you were describing. As I can tell it's a mint but I think it is Altoids. (Let me know if I am right) I love have deep you got into describing each part. You talked about the crunch of when you are biting it. You gave a great description on what you are smelling when you first open the packaging. The cold burn and talking about the eyes watering... IS GREAT! You really got into it and now when I think of when I was eating a mint I see that happening. Talking about drinking cold water right after having one is something I always do on accident after. You did a really great job describing the mint.

#3. Taylor Swift: Mirrorball

Hello,   welcome back to my blog! Today I'm giving the Splatter on Taylor Swift's song "mirrorball" (for all you Swifties out there). I analyzed these lyrics with the help of a freind and let's just say we got a little carried away.  With all the attention Taylor's recently been gaining due to her romance with Travis Kelce, I really thought it fitting to choose and analyze this song. You'll see why as you read on. My analysis is pretty long so prepare yourself. If you haven't already, give it a listen.  Lyrics: I want you to know I'm a mirrorball I'll show you every version of yourself tonight I'll get you out on the floor Shimmering beautiful And when I break it's in a million pieces Hush When no one is around, my dear You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes Spinning in my highest heels, love Shining just for you Hush I know they said the end is near But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes Spinning in my highest heels, love Shining

#7. "Fresh"

Hello,  welcome back to my blog! Hope you've spent Thanksgiving well! Today I wanted to splatter about a film I've watched in class: Fresh .  This  documentary, directed by Anna Sofia Joanes, divulges the ugly truth surrounding the United State's food system.  In the past, I don't think I've ever thought too deeply about where our food comes from or how we have so much of it. As a fast food worker, I've witnessed firsthand how ignorant people are of where their food comes from or its value.  (I don't like working here but it's ok) Mobile order never get's picked up?  Throw it away. Leftover food during a closing shift, throw it all away. Someone complains about their order? Throw it all away and make it over. It seems anyways that no matter how much food goes to waste, there's an endless supply to replenish from. In the back of my mind I always knew, as most people do know, that our food comes from unsustainable and horrific practices, but I neve

#4. It's Still Too Hot Outside

Hello, welcome back to my blog! Today I wanted to splatter about something I've noticed. With November just around the corner, we're finally seeing cooler temps. But shouldn't we have seen them sooner? Sweater Weather Delayed? I remember last year my cross country practices were seemingly  intolerable. I would wake up each morning and force myself to go out and run in what seemed like freezing temperatures. Some of my teammates would wear sweaters and sweatpants on our runs. I remember being able to feel my fingers go numb and see my breath in the air. This year there wasn't one day that I felt cold during practice.  At school, there's so many people wearing hoodies and sweaters but the weather still reaches over 100 degrees on the daily. Perhaps that's because we're used to it getting cold during October, only this year it still hasn't happened. It seems as if each year, the cooler weather takes longer to reach.  Why? The obvious answer is global warmin
