Roller Coaster of Life

       It was raining cats and dogs outside. I was bundled in my blanket and I felt as snug as a bug in the rug. However, I knew that I had a long day ahead of me and I would be as busy as a bee at work. I checked the clock and realized that I had slept in. My time was cut short but it was better late than never. As quick as lightening, I got myself ready. No time for breakfast, I thought. I grabbed an apple and an umbrella and headed out the door. The apple was not filling but it was better than nothing. On the bright side, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. As I was on my way to work, I noticed a poster of an upcoming concert. I decided to pull out my phone to take a picture of it. Just my luck. I had lost my cell phone. At this point, I was so miserable that I never took my eyes off the ground. I ended up running into a handsome devil who looked like the man of my dreams. We apologized and made some small talk. "I lost my phone number. Could I borrow yours?" I joked. When life gives you lemons - make lemonade. Eventually, I received his number which turned my frown upside down. The bottom line is life will never have a dull moment if you can tough it out.

Not So Mundane

           The constant feeling of not knowing or understanding something can be extremely discouraging. What if I could overcome that feeling if I were to have superhuman intelligence? I would know everything - from useless facts about celebrities to the answers of the hardest physics equations in the world. Many may think being a geek, or a nerd is unexciting and too mundane. However, being a big “braniac” and having more than enough knowledge would be out of the ordinary, and fascinating. Basically, I would be a walking encyclopedia. I would know the reason for the sky being blue; I would know if there was the existence of a parallel universe, and I would know which came first: the chicken or the egg. Spending my time studying or researching for tests and projects would be preposterous. I would effortlessly ace every challenging quiz, test, and exam without even trying. Moreover, I, most likely would not have to be in school if I was that clever. Without school, I would have an abundance of spare time on my hands and I could do whatever I please with that time. Maybe I could discover a cure for cancer or create a novel about the meaning of life. I would have a record winning streak in the game of “Trivial Pursuit.” With my competitiveness and passion, I could go on “Jeopardy” and answer every question that is asked without any hesitation. Everyone’s minds would be blown. Something even more thrilling would be being a part of the FBI. In the show “Criminal Minds,” I would be equivalent to the profiler, Spencer Reid. As a profiler, it would be extremely easy for me to figure out who the criminal was and the team and I would be able to solve a case exceptionally faster than reality.  I would have the potential in becoming a world superhero by “making the world a better place.” With all things considered, having unlimited intelligence would clearly be the ultimate superhuman power.
