It absolutely does not help that I write most of my blog posts within the wee hours of 2:00 to 5:00 AM because then there would be times that my post would be about absurd things such as that ^^^ Well, to let the cat out of the bag early, I didn't really have this 3 AM thought recently. I actually had it a few months ago but I am only posting about it now because I saw some notes I made about it while fishing through my notebook for something else. Okay, so, on with the story! Now, I don't exactly remember what triggered it but one night, I apparently thought, "hey, since we (humans, assuming you are one too) drown underwater due to lack of gaseous oxygen. Then, if the same principle applies, fish must drown when introduced to our environment of gaseous oxygen as opposed to dissolved oxygen!" If that didn't make sense to you, well it did to me in my few days of enlightenment until Google ruined it for me... but more on that later on. Okay, so, I was obviously overjoyed. Huzza! I am a genius! A philosophy queen! I bet not many people have thought of that before! Boo-yah! I slept on it. I posted about it. I mulled it over for a few days (without googling it). And at that time, I was preparing at least two university applications and so I thought that I would develop it and incorporate it into my personal essays to show that I'm cool and quirky and innovative and creative and that they should probably accept me (please, anybody) because I just had a Eureka moment that would turn the science world on its head. I shit you not, I made a brainstorming map, as well as already started writing a few drafts about it because I was INEVITABLY convinced that this was the essay topic that would make admissions officers love me! But then, I realised I was a dumbass. When I make essays, or even just simple things like blog posts (which nobody reads) and I write about a specific something that opens up the possibility of misinformation on my part, I consult Google. And thank goodness, I do that because I almost showed admissions officers the dumbass that I truly am.
Before I reveal the truth, here are a few things that I discovered when I simply, confidently googled the phrase "fish can drown":
P.S. I ended up choosing another topic for those essays but don't be mistaken, I also had other reasons for not going through with it. I may still use it for the applications I'm yet to send out so, who knows?
