PUT A SMILE ON DAT FACE

I believe in finding joy in the worst of times.

Today I woke up so uncertain. AP exam scores were released online, and I had been waiting for this day for almost two months now. So, I looked on my computer, and my anticipation and anxiety turned to sadness and disappointment. Essentially, I got a failing score. 

For some, this isn't a big deal, but I was devastated. I'm a perfectionist, and failure is not in my vocabulary (besides today of course). I sulked downstairs to seek comfort in Harry Potter (7 part 2) and my couch. As I sat there, my friend was texting me trying to cheer me up. We started talking about how good things can come from even the hardest of situations, and he made me snap out of my misery. I sucked it up, and I attempted to put sunshine in my soul (even though its raining lol). In short, my day got better from that point on. My mom took me to KFC,  a movie, and Walmart (where my best friend had me laughing out loud because of her insane texting skills) and then I got home and  I listened to my new favorite song (Amnesia by 5sos) and ate mint chocolate ice cream which is probably the greatest comfort food known to man (don't tell me it tastes like toothpaste bc it doesn't). I know this may not seem like the greatest day ever and half of this stuff probably isn't even interesting to read, but it means a lot to me. A change of attitude and putting a smile on your face can literally change your day, if not your life. 

So put a smile on dat face, and cheer up buttercup.

Humans are bombs. Not like, "the bomb.com", but an actual bomb. Obviously I'm speaking in non-literal terms, but still, you get the point. Bombs obliterate everything through one swift movement, and so can people. A word, an action, a thought; it can all be used for destruction. But who are the bombs? And why are we not smart enough to avoid them? The bombs are every single person in your life, including yourself. And we aren't smart enough to avoid them because, as the late Hannah Montana said, "nobody's perfect". Therefore, we are constantly being bombed, sometimes intentionally, and other times accidentally. What is "being bombed" though? It's being sworn at for sitting by the wrong kid on the bus. It's that one (fake) friend that tells you you're a brat. It's the #coolkids glaring at you as you walk by. *Continues to list multiple other semi-applicable examples.* But as much as all of these "attacks" s...

College?!?

Disclaimer: Whenever I see ?!? it makes a sound in my head like a diesel truck honking and a baby crying, all mixed together with the faint noise of a kazoo... so, ya. I hope you now understand why I titled this "College?!?" I decided to write this post because I wanted to help out two of my dearest friends, who asked me to tell all the in's and out's of college as their graduation gift. But now I've decided this is actually just a lil pep talk for me to get through the semester. (This is them. My friends. Who are probably the only ones who will ever read this lol.) Sadly, I don't know anything about college really. It's a different experience for everyone, and we all go through life at our own pace, right? But, since this is my page on the internet, and all ya'll are going at my pace at the moment, I've decided to share some things I've learned and what's worked for me over this past year(ish) of being at Utah State Universi...

A Toast:

*clinks champagne glass filled with apple cider* Lately I have been dwelling on the people I love and cherish in my life. Wait, no. Start again. *ahem* Sometimes I feel as if I take people for granted. Not use them, but more along the lines of just thinking their presence isn't a big deal. But it is. True friends are hard to find, and I'm probably the most luckiest person in the world to know and love as many wonderful people as I do. So here's to the people who make my day in our group convos. Here's to my family for making life exciting. Here's to the friend who gives me advice for everything. Here's to the time we chucked jello. Here's to my favorite cousin for quoting Fantastic Mr. Fox. Here's to everyone who drives me to places and makes me laugh till I cry. Here's to the time we made a music video. Here's to when we went to Texas for the heck of it. Here's to all the letters and notes given. Here's to surprise birthday lemo...
