Why Be Lazy?

 This week's article, "Your Input is Your Output" by Benjamin Spall was a very nice, change of pace read. He explained that making a schedule to follow for meals, selfcare, and expenses is a good way to improve your output. It is a simple fix, so why does the majority of the population choose to be lazy and unhealthy?


I have observed people around me that have no schedule. They sleep till noon, stay up till the early hours of morning, eat whatever, drink whatever, and have poor self-care.  In return I have noticed they feel awful, their mental health plummets and they are very lethargic, and have no work ethic. But someone with a good schedule, eats decent food, works, has a selfcare routine, are noticeably happier and healthier. The article supports this by saying, "Similarly, if you prepare healthy meals every night, or batch cook them to eat over several nights, you're going to feel better overall than if you get takeout five nights a week." Meals are just a starting point to a healthier lifestyle. Even if you're not a skilled chef there are many online options for healthy meal orders.


In summary, it really is not difficult to have a schedule to improve your life quality. Why choose to be miserable when the fix is so simple and accessible to all. Your input truly does affect your output, if you are not putting in any effort you will not be rewarded at all. So why be lazy? Go fix your input to have a better output. Start small and make that schedule one step at a time to live your best healthiest life.

Harrisons VP

  John Tyler isn't very commonly discussed but when he is he's labeled as the worst United States president. The article "The President that History Forgot" by Thomas Mann goes into detail about Tyler's upbringing and and presidency. I wouldn't say John Tyler is forgotten for a multitude of reasons, the most common being he is labeled as America's worst president, and how he came to office was very interesting. I don't think Tyler was prepared to become president at all. In the fourth paragraph of the article, it explains how Tyler wanted to be VP to Harrison but didn't intend to become president. It says, "Harrison's death soon raised a constitutional question: what would happen to Tyler?" This hints that Harrison's death was very sudden and the thought of Tyler succeeding him wasn't pondered long enough. However, the later quote in the same paragraph, "Tyler on his own initiative, claimed he was now the president."...

Art Has Become Lazy.

  The angry tone of Dana Loesch attracted me to her article "The Times Square Statue Is An Insult." The bronze lump in Times Square had to have been agreed upon by a multitude of people for it to have even been erected. Many people including I are upset that this piece is being compared to Michelangelo's David. This sculpture labeled as "art" feels lazy compared to the masterpiece David. The author highlights the detail in the statue of David. It's completely perfect anatomically. The statue conveys emotion; you can see a serious expression and a poised stance with tensed muscles. Michelangelo took a discarded piece of marble and transformed it into probably the most perfect thing on earth. He sacrificed his reputation by studying anatomy and physiology in a time when it was considered unjust, so yes when a bronze statue that conveys nothing is compared to David it's an outrage. When you compare the two statures starting from the top you can see the hair...
