Welcome to the R.A.M's Columns, a magazine series which I gave an opinion about our latest events, whether it was real life story, celebs, or other events. This series shows some of the biggest stories and headlines today I witnessed or something that could be based on someone who's trying to copying my work. I don't know whether my article is cringy or not, this is the series that I made a discussion about our latest trends. This isn't a ripoff to other articles from many celebs and other journalists that could easily made people upset, but it was inspired by many celebs that create the articles. I was inspired to be famous I admit, but it's too far of being famous. That's why I returned to Teenink after 2 years of being broke, alone, and act like a fool like everyone else, especially in the U.S. Government can sometimes ruin us, but my Dad is addicted to news, and what do I think about the future of our families.

My last article; Where am I now

Last time I wrote the article from 2019, I talk about the story of my life, and it was from my freshman years of how I feel so alone thanks to my parents and lack of interest from many people. I was in charter school at the time, and many people were crazy because of their attitude. I was trying to be a class clown so I make more friends, but that doesn't work because people think that I was an ummmm.... an butthole. I was going to say a bad word, that that was illegal here in TeenInk so I decided to be nice while writing this article. So anyway, I was alone and I don't know anyone at all. I don't understand why my friends won't go to my charter school in 2018. Maybe it's because it's too far, gang affiliations, or it's because they never heard of charter school at all. Ever since I came to my high school, I made couples of friends. I can't get more because there are many people who were mean and ready to be expelled from school. Atlantic City High has many troubled people and many people who got expelled from other school due to their crimes. It's like one episode from the series on VICE where troubled kids went to one school in Chicago and things went crazy. Nonetheless, I still love my school, I love film, I love everything, I love Mcdonalds, I like turtles, I like references, I like memes, I like social media, and I love my city.

My First TeenInk Article

The first time I wrote on TeenInk went back to 2018. I was thinking about my first article but I can't think about it. I instead wrote something on TeenInk about politics or something non-fiction, since it took place in real time. I also was thinking about real place and name all of my teacher in middle school, but it didn't happened. I don't want to make spoiler alert on my article because I don't want my people to tease me for my action. When my first article published on March 24, 2018, my class were surprised. People think I'm going to be famous one day, and my teacher was forced to read my article out loud. However, my article didn't make it to the magazine because my article was published a month ago and it's too far from being in a book. I later deleted it in 2019 when I realize that all of my articles doesn't make any sense. I made an article about the mysteries behind Chelsea F.C's transfer ban. I even laugh myself because of what I created, when at the end of the article, it read "the mysterious reason why Chelsea F.C's transfer window ban will remain UNSOLVED." It was a reference to Buzzfeed's Unsolved series when the word Unsolved was showned on the screen as Ryan Bergara said its last sentence. Actually I loved Buzzfeel Unsolved, but the problem is that the video didn't released anything for more than couple of months. I really hope that this series will make the next season this year.

Anyways, my articles was so cringy that I deleted it except my second article, Starbucked. It was an article from 2018 that I make an opinion on two African-Americans arrested for waiting at Starbucks in Philadelphia. That hurt my heart that bad because you can't arrest someone for waiting on his friends. I was thinking about them ordering something before their friend gets here. So I decided to create an article that define my opinion on the news that was recorded on Facebook. It went controversial at my school and at the same time, my story went #1 on the Non-Fiction genre, and yet not appearing on the magazine. Instead, one of my friend's article, which is a book review, was featured on the magazine, instead of me. How uncalled for that action, but I'm proud of myself in the Non-Fiction story. As of right now, in 2021, my article is still there on my profile. After 2 years of busying on my film project and an upcoming short film that were based on the action I took, I return to TeenInk, which I made my first two column opinions in one article. Imagine, if I became a journalists from TheSun.co.uk, the same website many British celebs gave an opinion of current events including Jeremy Clarkson of course, then I should be included. But because it's exclusive, I decided to make my own columns, inspired by Clarkson and his amazing columns I found on Reddit. As I said before, this isn't a ripoff, so I think that maybe in the couple of weeks, I decided to make my opinion about current events and other things going on in our world.

I know it's a lot of work, but putting two titles in one article is a good idea.
