My summer vacation

Summer, every high school students favourite word, two months of doing nothing but relaxing at the pool, catching up with friends, traveling and of course sleeping! I mean who does not love sleeping all day? Especially us IB students, we like to catch up on our lack of sleep as we sacrificed a couple of ' Zzz's' to pull all nighters throughout the year (hypothetically speaking of course) .

Once summer is over and we all head back to school, I think we are all familiar with every teachers routine on the first day back and it goes a little something like this:

Good morning class, welcome to a new school year. To kick start our first lesson together how about we go around the class and share what we did this summer”

This is the part where people rack their brains and try to quickly come up with something to say, the one that sounds the coolest and makes other peoples summer sound sombre! Despite the fact that everyone has done numerous activities over the summer they can not decide on which one to talk about.

In my case I already have my answer, this summer I travelled to a city in Turkey called Antalya. A small serene relaxed city when compared to the hustle and bustle of Istanbul. It was perfect for a relax and unwind vacation. I have been to Turkey twice already in the past 5 years but my wanderlust kicked in, it was a break from my everyday routine, it was a chance for me to branch out and go on a new adventure and explore a new city.

The resort that my family and I stayed at was nothing short of perfect, they accommodated to our every desire, and were nothing but hospitable. A bonus was that the resort was right next to the beach which I did not complain about because come on after all the beach is the ' best escape anyone can have!'. There is something about beaches that I just love, maybe its the smell of the sand and salt merging, or maybe its the fact that I am miles away from stress and overthinking. Quality time with my friends and family is the best thing about holidays for me, after all it is the little things in life that we should not take for granted!

The ' Rixos Premium' was always full of such positive energy and a constant stream of entertainment, from water sport competitions during the day to themed parties in the evening. It truly was a vacation to go down in the books, one of my favourite things we did was watching the stunning sunset as the array of warm undertones varying between pink and orange filled the sky I sat there in amazement. It truly was a spectacular show by mother nature, which is free by the way. Now you are probably reading this asking yourself what is wrong with this girl? She can watch the sunset back home, that is true but I can not watch the sunset from a oceanside view now can I?







How to write about women

Now we all know that when it comes to writing about women, its quite a simple task, because women are simple. I mean come on, they do not do much right? They are born with potholders in their hand, a recipe for penne arrabiata in their brains, the perfect cleaning method for getting juice stains removed from the rug, ensuring that the next batch of laundry is already loaded into the machine whilst the previous load is drying. They don't have ambition, nor should they, primarily they are baby makers and housekeepers.

An average day in a woman's life consists of the usual wearing frumpy dresses,twenty four – seven, cleaning, cooking, preparing her husbands favourite dinner for when he gets home, oh and not forgetting taking care of and carrying the babies in her womb. Women should generally be content with their chores and home life as everything is handed to them on a silver plate. After all these tasks have been drilled into her mind ever since she was a little girl, just think back to when she would sit in her room and play house. Women's only life goal is to meet the pleasures of both her husband and children, she was raised to be the perfect lady and ultimately housewife, after all the best women are stay at home moms. Women do not need anytime for themselves, they do not need a spa day or a day where their husbands take the kids out for the afternoon so that they can enjoy some peace and quite. You must be high on drugs if you think for one millisecond that women deserve that, its simply unacceptable I mean what do they do that enables them to think of such things? The tasks they do are quite simple and require minimal energy to be put into them, a monkey would be able to do it.

You must never forget to emphasize the fact that women are fragile beings as they aren't really educated, therefor don't understand the world like men, its better to entrust them with simple tasks. Women are one hundred percent incompetent when it comes to realizing what is happening around them, they also don't need to be consulted when it comes time to discuss important issues as their opinions are of no consequence. The ideal tasks for women consist of doing the laundry, making coffee and keeping the house clean and tidy. The superior males are of course the breadwinners they can handle anything that is thrown their way and make a success of their work and home life.

You may be sitting there writing this thinking, wait hold on maybe there is a one in a million possibility that women can actually be successful and for once be the breadwinners, No!! Never in a million years! Everyone knows that the day women begin being the breadwinners, will be the day pigs fly.

As long as you do not fail to mention the information above, and take them into consideration, you will be just fine, good luck!
