So for the first time we are able to blog about anything we want. I know this might be boring, but I’m just going to blog about everything I did today because that sounds easy and quick. First I woke up at 7 to my alarm going off and I immediately pushed snooze. I didn’t actually get my self out of bed until 7:30. I went to anatomy lecture and learned about the heart. The whole time I was thinking about how extremely hungry I was. Afterwards I met with my roommate at Oxley’s like we always do and I got a bagel and a fruit and yogurt parfait. We talked and then I had theatre. Theatre is usually boring and I write down what I see on the PowerPoint but I don’t retain any information from lecture. I walked home and it was surprisingly not that cold out today and for once it was not raining. After creeping on facebook for a good 20 minutes I went to the gym. After I got home and showered I took a much-needed nap. I woke up and walked to Jimmy Johns for food even though I should be using my swipes. I’m just so sick of campus food and I was craving a sub. I came back and to avoid doing homework I watched Shutter Island. The movie was really long and kind of freaky, but overall it was pretty good. Sorry again for boring you with the play by play of my day.

62. Fear
Death is so scary to me. I have never had anyone who I am extremely close to except for my great grandmother. I few years ago she passed away in her sleep at age 102. I was able to find peace with her death because I felt she wasn’t living comfortably. Besides my great grandmother I have not been close to anyone who has died. Thinking about what I would do without my mom or dad literally makes me have anxiety. I cannot fathom life without either one of them. My siblings are another thing. Without them I do not think I could go on living. People must be so strong because people have to deal with death everyday. I just don’t see how anyone could find the strength to go on after something so tragic, but somehow they do. Enough talking about that depressing topic though. Today was the first semi nice day all week. Everyday it has been rainy and freezing cold, which I just don’t understand. It is the middle of May and it is thirty something degrees out. This weekend it is supposed to be sunny, so I am looking forward to that. Also I think my parents are coming to get dinner with me on Saturday so I’m excited! I miss them so much. Saturday night is Chitfest. Hopefully this time no one including me will get maced or tear-gassed or whatever that stuff was because let me tell you it was not pleasant.
61. Economy
Something that is happening in the world that concerns me would probably be the economy. So many people lost their jobs a few years back when everything crashed and burned. I remember all of the people I knew who had a move to smaller houses or sell some of their things because money issues got so bad. At the time I thought it was only a temporary crisis and that everything would go back to normal. I was clearly wrong considering our economy is just as shitty today. It is extremely hard for anyone to find a job these days. At my old middle school and high school they had to let a ton of teachers go because they could not afford to have them any longer. My old middle school doesn’t offer art or chorus any more and they are getting rid of all of the sports teams. Busing is also being taken away so parents will have to drive their children to school. I feel bad for my little brother and sister because all of this is happening and they are stuck dealing with the consequences of it all. Gas prices are so high right now. I think I heard they are over four dollars or at least close to that amount. That is just crazy. Basically I won’t be taking any joy rides this summer just for the fun of it. I really hope in the near future that our economy improves and things can go back to how they used to be.

60. Time Period
I have always felt like I would like to live in the 60’s or 70’s. Everyone seemed to be so carefree. Peace was the goal on everyone’s mind. People wore bright crazy outfits. Although everyone was on psychedelic drugs half the time that could have been a fun experience. I could see myself as a hippy with long wavy hair with no care in the world. In one of my other classes I am doing a project based off the 80’s. We are doing a hip-hop aspect of that time and are referring to The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. I love that show by the way, their parachute pants and big poufy hair seems like it could have been a fun look. The windbreaker jackets and big boom boxes are what come to mind. I’m going to have the Fresh Prince theme song stuck in my head all day! I think it is crazy how fashion seems to come in circuits. All of the old fashion trends are now being sold in all of our stores. Living in the future could also be fun as long as global warming hasn’t completely destroyed the earth. I cannot even imagine the technology in the future. I don’t see how we can get any more advances than we already are. I hope we would have a cure to cancer and any other disease. People could live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. Maybe we will find life on some other planet or someone will catch big foot.
59. Mistake
The biggest mistake I ever made. I honestly cannot think of one big life-changing mistake that I have made. I really don’t regret anything I have done in life. Even the horrible things I have done or all of the bad decisions I have made: I wouldn’t take them back. I see mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. I could sit here and think about all of the things I wish I could of done or what I should of done. What would be the point in that? Humans are programmed to mess up and to try again. Practice makes perfect. No one can expect to get it right on the first try. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I put more effort into that relationship or if I would have never stopped playing volleyball when I was younger. I guess I will never know what could have been. I feel like my life is exactly how it should be at this moment. I am finishing up my freshman year of college and I made it into my major. I have summer jobs lined up and plans to get tan, spend time with my family, and go to as many country concerts as I possibly can. I have no complaints. I am a nineteen-year with my whole life ahead of me and plenty of mistakes to be made. The future is unknown and that can be exciting, who knows what life will throw at me.
56. Best Friend
My roommate and I get along great. I honestly don’t know any other person who gets along with their roommate as much as I do with mine. I knew her from high school in Cincinnati. The funny thing is, we used to hate each other’s guts. One day when we realized we had a common enemy, we started talking and realized we had a lot in common. Ever since that day we have been great friends. We both seem to understand how each other think in a way that no one could understand. If we happen to get into minor petty fights, we end up hugging it out and getting over it within a few hours. We both have similar thoughts views, and opinions. Some nights we will stay up until three in the morning talking about philosophy or religion. I don’t exactly know what sparks these conversations but we like our random late night deep conversations. We like the same shows and always watch eps in her bed when we have free time. It’s like roomie bonding. We get breakfast together every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning where we sit and talk about whatever is on our mind. I’m so happy that we decided to room together this year and although we were close before we came to school we are definitely much closer now. I cant wait until this summer when we drive around with the windows down, go to Sonic late night for some ice cream, and the Rascal Flatts concert!
55. Favorite Place
My bed is the most comfortable place in the world. It may not be my favorite but it comes close. When I am having a horrible day and I feel like crying, I can lie in bed and turn on some Taylor Swift music and just cry. When its wintertime and I’m absolutely freezing cold I can snuggle up under all of the layers of blankets to stay warm. When it’s a nasty, dark, rainy day outside I always feel like getting some chocolate or popcorn or possibly both. Then I proceed to lie in my bed and catch up on missed episodes or maybe watch a movie. When I spend all night at a bar or I don’t know getting tear gassed by a bunch of cops and my whole face feels like its on fire, my bed is there for me when I am ready to crash at four in the morning. Days when I’m sick I can lay in bed all day long while my mommy makes me chicken noodle soup. My bed is a place where my friends sit with me and we can gossip or tell stories to each other. My bed is multipurpose and can be used in almost any situation. That reminds me of the YouTube video “How to Avoid Talking To People You Don’t Want to Talk To.” The video is hilarious. You should all watch it. I tried to put the link below this but I don’t know if it will work.
