Reading Notes: Stories of Indian Gods and Heroes: Rama and Sita Part A

 This week I chose to do the one week reading over the Ramayana, specifically about Rama and Sita. I will be reading the part A section today and writing some notes over that.

  • Rama was born and trained to be a warrior. and grew up noble
  • Rama and his brother Lakshman were sent to fight Ravana's warriors and they had come out in victory
  • Whoever could bend the bow of Janaka was promised the hand of his daughter Sita
  • Many men all across tried to bend it but all failed
  • When the bow was handed to Rama he easily was able to bend it and everyone around was shocked
  • Rama was sent out to marry Sita
  • They were madly and deeply in love
  • Everyone was in awe of Rama and saw him as the perfect man
  • Rama was exiled to the forest for 14 years and Sita begged to go with him
  • He begged her not to come for the forest was full of dangerous creatures
  • her love was too strong for him so she insisted that she came
  • Rama's brother Lakshman also begged to come for he would not let his brother go alone
  • Rama declined at first but then gave in
  • On the night they were leaving a crowd followed in sadness for this exile
  • Rama made sure to leave early the next moring to lose this innocent crowd so they would not have to suffer in the forest
  • Rama met many people along his journey that helped him in many ways
  • When Baharat was summoned as king and found out the reason. that Rama was sent away was because of his mother he was furious
  • He was so angry at her he wanted to curse her
  • He sent out troops to bring Rama back into the kingdom and crown him as king

Introduction to the not so Fabulous Life of Luda

Although I do love biology.... organic chemistry has got to be my biggest enemy. I have never experienced a harder class in my life and I truly cannot wait to be done with that! I would have to say for accomplishments my biggest one last semester was staying healthy and avoiding getting the Coronavirus all while living in my sorority house haha. Now aside from school, some hobbies that

During their senior year, a new girl who no one knew, but caught everyone's attention came to town and her name was Cady Heron.

Cady was unaware of this and tried to join their lunch table on a Wednesday. They smirked and told her "we wear pink on Wednesdays, you can't sit with us." Any efforts that she tried to make were shut down in an instant and they made her feel as though
