Truck Spill
I was driving home today (I was at my parents house for the weekend) and all of a sudden traffic slowed down really quickly. I couldn’t see why at first, then I saw a lot of wood all over the street. It turns out a pickup truck carrying a trailer full of fire wood some how spilled its load onto the road. My first thought was “what a dummy”. Having worked as a loader at Home Depot...

Interestingly Uninteresting
I had a very good morning this morning, it wasn’t that interesting, but it was good. Perhaps the fact that it was not very interesting but still good makes it interesting. Whatever. My class starts at 8:30 so I woke up at 7:30, usually way too early for me but this morning I felt awake. Whenever I have to wake up to an alarm I set it to wake up to music. I pick a song the night before,...

Marketing Myself
As I have been applying to Internship over the last couple of months, I have been thinking a lot about how I “market myself”. That is an interesting term, usually used by career center people, to mean how to portray yourself to others, or more specifically, a company you are applying to. And while I usually hear the term “marketing yourself” in a career context, really you...

Astronomy Perspective
Why do my allergies always sneak attack me? I’ll step outside expecting to activate my allergies, I’ll be outside for 30 minutes and be like “wow! no allergies! awesome!”. Then I will come back inside and make lunch or something and I will still feel fine. Then BOOM! Allergies! AHHHH!
If you couldn’t tell, allergies are bugging me right now.
I like astronomy. Not...

Spontaneous Groceries
I was at the grocery store a few days ago and I realized that I buy basically the same things, or combination of things, at the store every time I go. I am not very spontaneous. I am a very routine oriented person. I think I need to start becoming more spontaneous. Fun things happen when they happen naturally without forethought. And new and exciting things happen when you break from routine and...

Old Journal
Before I had this blog I used to write in a physical journal. I like the idea of having a physical journal better. It seems more fancy. I’m all about fancy. The problem with the journal is you have to actually write in it. There are 2 issues there. One, my handwriting is not where I would like it to be. And two, I think better when I type instead of write—also it’s faster....

Dumbledore Dreams
One of my facebook friends posted a quote saying “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”. This is a quote from my favorite fictional character of all time Albus Dumbledore. I found this very interesting. If I remember correctly he says this to Harry about the Mirror of Erised. But on a literal level, dreams can be two things. “goal” dreams, or...

Mom Texts
Is it pathetic that I am in college and really tired at 12:14 am on a saturday night? I couldn’t even stay up to watch SNL.
My mom texted me on Friday and said “are you doing anything fun this weekend??”. I hate this text. I feel like my mom has some vision in her head of me just having the best time ever every weekend so when I just say “uh I don’t know” I...

Phone Swans
It’s random friday! I haven’t done one of these in a while.
-I love listening in on other people’s phone conversations and imagining what the person on the other end of the line is saying. I usually concoct this elaborate story for the other person based off the two or three things I heard the phone talker say.
-I just watched Black Swan. #TeamKunis. Is she really dead at the...

Obama Article
I was perusing facebook today and one of my friends posted a vanity fair article about Obama. It was an interesting article for me to read because it focused on the first couple of years after he got out of college. Just a couple of years older than I am now. So the feelings described in the article were very relatable to me. Obviously Obama and I are two very different people who come from two...

My Theory
I started writing these posts at the end of last year for me. I wrote them to help me make sense of my thoughts and to help me find meaning in my daily life. I told myself I was going to be brutally honest, after all nobody will read it right? But then people actually did start reading and subconsciously I held back. Not a lot. I still think I am pretty good at being honest, but in the back of my...
