Hello! Welcome to my blog, my name is Laura Kowalsky and in this blog I will be talking about some common misconceptions that I find relevant to modern day society. For those who don't know what a common misconception is, well to quote the first definition that popped up on the googles " A misconception is a conclusion that's wrong because it's based on faulty thinking or facts that are wrong. Your accusation about your brother's role in that unfortunate event at your party may be based on a misconception." Or to put it in my own words a common misconception is an idea that a wide spread of people put on something be it a group of people, a person, an object or what have you that isn't true and usually brought on by ignorance. They can come in various forms from something that sounds actually quite silly to most but someone somewhere believes it, to a myth that got really popular to the point most believe it to be fact.

Now that that is out of the way, I would just like to talk about my plans for this blog. What I was thinking was to have it that every post would talk about a subject and list out various misconceptions about said subject by separating the myths from the facts, and give my opinion it. Hopefully this will help you learn a little more about the world and the people around you or maybe help you win arguments and rub your superior intellect in your friends faces. So if you're interested in learning and possibly laughing at peoples ignorance and what they actually believe, then I invite you to follow and read my blog, witch probably will not be of the highest caliber given I'm a tenth grader doing this for an assignment so don't expect too much.
