Space is awesome. Space is big (no edge). And Space is full of endless possibilities. However, space isn't with it's drawbacks, especially when considering a human in space. From high energy radiation, to bone and muscle degeneration, and the obvious lack of air, space is dangerous.

But us humans don't give up in the face of dangerous situations. We thrive on them, it's what makes us progress in both understanding and knowledge. And so, we come up with solutions to the problems that…

This is my first ever blog post... Why am I nervous about it?

Of course, it will be about John and Hank Green.

It was September of my junior year of high school (also known as this one) when I was introduced to John Green's work by my AP English teacher. Great lady. Anyhow. She told us about a book she was reading called The Fault in Our Stars, and also about how awesome it was, and my best friend, Nikki, and I just looked at each other and nodded.

I, being a good friend,…

Hey fellow Nerdfighters! I am currently in the process of writing an essay about nerds, so I need some personal input from you. If you could take a few seconds to comment, I would be very appreciative. 

What are your reasons for considering yourself a nerd?…

Okay, so I am new here on the Nerdfighter scene, but am a long-time nerd. I am really excited about starting this blog which I think I am going to mostly make about nerdy things and my life.  So basically, very similar to a lot of blogs. I am, however, a secret nerd.  I am obviously I am in no way ashamed to be a nerd, but I have a lot of friends who have never even heard of the shows or books I read.  I think its absolutely okay because I know they love me for who I am either way but it…

A series of YouTube videos I made with an over arching plot-type thing. Would appreciate some feedback on plot/technique anything. Thanks :D

Since i was a little girl i have watched and grown up with star trek, my little brother and i learnt all the words to the beginning sequence, my best friend was even named after one of the characters, in other words i was a massive nerd. In my high school years I was defiantly an outcast, but at the age of 14 i discovered Harajuku fashion and anime, these were my new loves, i spent hours looking at fashion shows and reading blogs about Harajuku. My Friends were not as enthusiastic about…

I'd like to just take a moment to appreciate the absolute awesomeness of the Spartan women. In a world and time completely dominated by men, these women were strong and rightful. Especially Queen Gorgo, daughter of King Cleomenes I, wife of King Leonidas I and mother of King Pleistarchus. As a young girl she advised her father to resist a bribe and under the war between Persia and Greece she helped decode a warning that the Persians were about to invade Greece. When asked by an Attican woman…

This is Mum-ra the guinea pig.  Sadly he passed away on 5/21/13, rather suddenly and unexpectedly.

Mum-ra is survived by his cage mate Booh and his friend Meatloaf, both guinea pigs.



We got Mum-ra two years ago.  We rescued him from a family who no longer cared for him.  At first he was stand-offish and…

I sit here thinking. And while I think, I ponder to all of the things that I have to do: varying from my upcoming finals and the vast majority of assignments and projects my superiors have decided to only recently hand out. And as I think about that, I decide to hop on the computer to scroll through the Nerdfighteria website. Procrastinating. 

Procrastination is something that I tend to do quite frequently, and I'm still looking for a cure. In the past, I used to come home and…

Writing projects can often be intimidating, stressful events for high school students and college freshman. Procrastination, poor organization, and ineffective communication can wreck havoc on even the best students. Couple those with the unfamiliar world of new teachers, or even new schools and college, and you can have a recipe for disaster. I will answer some of the most common questions new students often have about their writing, and give tips for more effective writing to help you get…

I love nerdfighteria to death. I want to start with that so know one murders me after reading this blog post. 

I have social anxiety, I like to sit by my self at lunch and listen to my ipod, and I always feel like people are talking behind my back. Know one understands this about me and even though I have plenty of people I could call my friends they're never quite there for me. I have the luxury of saying that I have never been bullied, however I seem to be a drama…
