Ranting Teen Talks- S2 Ep. 9 Sunshine Mixed with a Little Hurricane

Hey, hello, hi, my Bumblebees! I’ve made a decision in regards to Ranting Teen Talks and I hope you understand that there's always going to be ups and downs which is what “Sunshine Mixed with a Little Hurricane,” (Brad Paisley) is all about. When I started this podcast, my main goal was to inspire you to be yourself, spread positivity, and do what you love, however, currently, I haven’t been able to do that myself. Thus, I came to this conclusion, because really, I wanted to provide you the quality and attention you deserve, and I’ve been struggling to do so for a while now. Nonetheless, I wish you all the best as you continue to learn and grow as wonderful humans. Remember to BEE yourself and that you are BEE-utiful, so keep on smiling. ~ Adriana :)

Ranting Teen Talks- S2 Ep. 7 The Clock is Running

Ranting Teen Talks' "The Clock is Running," describes how life is short, and you can't sit around waiting for something to happen for you. Like success, if you want to make change BE the change by taking one step forward. Although, you can't alter the past, you can focus on learning from it. Lift your head high, and know that once you embrace today, there's a world of possibilities for tomorrow. Remember this: "The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present," ~ Alice Morse Earle

Ranting Teen Talks- S2 Ep. 6 REACHING for Success

Your goals and successes are tailored to yourself, and how you achieve them is up to you too. However, no matter who you are, there is one thing that remains clear- in order to get to your destination you must keep moving forward. Even if you fall or retrace your steps, at the end of the day, moving forward is how you will get closer to accomplishing them. So how DO we move forward? Simple- by hard work and determination. You won't get anywhere if all you do is hope for the best, instead of actually trying to do something instead. You also must create a REACHABLE goal, by knowing the difference between "if it's meant to be, it'll be," and "if you want it, go get it." Finally, although goals may seem like challenges sometimes, if you put your mind and focus in one place, and remind yourself why you created that goal, there's no telling what you can, and can't do. As always, remember to BEE yourself, and that you are BEE-utiful, - Adriana "Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen," ~ Wayne Huizenga

Ranting Teen Talks- S2 Ep. 5 Ignorance

We all know that ignorance describes lacking knowledge or awareness, but that's just the definition of it. What actually makes something ignorant? Do "dumb" questions exist? Is our view of ignorance always the same? Everyone has different opinions, which also means our ideas of ignorance will differ as well. Based on the perspective you choose, your decision on whether or not someone is ignorant will also vary. However, because the literal definition of ignorance means "lacking knowledge," no question should be considered stupid. By asking questions, you are doing the opposite which is learning and taking in new information. Yes, you may not know everything about a topic, but asking questions proves that you do not lack knowledge, because you are interested in the first place. Learning and making mistakes is how we create ourselves, and questions help us get there. So while there will always be disagreements on the concept of ignorance, we should all learn to agree that "dumb" questions are nonexistent. These ideas are expressed with one single quote within this episode: "Ignorance is not saying, I don't know. Ignorance is saying, I don't WANT to know," ~ Unknown Don't be afraid of your own curiosity, - Adriana
