This is my life...kinda

I might be a little bit addicted to fmylife.com...maybe just a little bit.

So, your homework assignment, class, is to read up. It will definitely make you feel better about your life. I warn you it has a few inappropriate things. Just shield your eyes and erase any mental images that offend you greatly.

Anyway, in honor of my new addiction, I will give you an FML moment from my own life...

Today, I walked into an elementary school that I've never been in before. As I'm wandering around looking for an adult to ask for directions, an older boy asks me "Are you a new girl here?". I'm almost 20 and in college. FML

This really happened, unfortunately.

:(

Most Annoying Song Ever

My sister's roommate posted this on Facebook and I thought it was too...? well, there aren't words that describe it but I thought that there was no way I couldn't share it.

It is indeed annoying and it is forever long.

Loud Neighbors are no fun...

...loudness makes me want to hurt someone!

Okay, I like Taylor Swift and "Johnny and June" as much as the next person but really! Must it be blared? Must you sing along loudly? At all hours of the day and night?

Okay,I know I made it sound like I have awful neighbors. I don't. They just sporatically burst into random loud song. It is a bit amusing and I could have worse neighbors. Right?

Have any of you ever had loud, annoying neighbors? Worse than mine? I need to hear your stories!

Cough, cough...

Ugh! I'm really sick of smokers! It is killing me (figuratively and literally). It seems like there is someone smoking around every corner I turn and outside every building I enter/exit. I really don't want to die from second hand smoke. Help me out!

Here is a lovely picture by van Gogh...

Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what van Gogh meant by this picture and it probably isn't relevant but I like to pretend that it is. Do you really still want to be smoking even after death?

I think it bothers me so much only because I had this naive thought floating around in my little town head that less and less people actually smoked any more. Apparently, I was wrong. Or perhaps, I never saw anyone in my town smoking because they were all away at college smoking?

Okay, okay. I am aware of how difficult it is to stop smoking but seriously! People that smoke aren't just hurting themselves. They are hurting everyone around them. So, if you smoke, please at least try to go somewhere where there are few to no people. Please!

Well, this is my last message to those that want to choke me to death:

Some words of wisdom...

I did laundry yesterday. For you fellow college students out there, I suggest that you do your laundry in the early morning or maybe even late at night. I didn't have to wait to wash mine but right after I put my clothes in, twenty or so people came in. There were a lot of washers that had clean clothes in them that were just sitting there. So, another word of advice, be courteous and remove your clothes as soon as possible. It just isn't cool to keep other people waiting. And when you do that, some people may not be as nice and throw your clothes out. I've heard it happens.

And bring something with you to entertain you. I didn't and I was stuck watching the dryers spin in unison for twenty minutes. Definitely, ask a friend to do their laundry with you. That makes it somewhat fun. I had a friend with me for awhile but she had a previous engagement to attend to. :(

You know how I said you shouldn't wear flip flops when sneaking about campus? It might be a good idea to never wear flip flops. I wore them the other day and I'd have to say that was a mistake. Too much walking and rarely wearing flip flops didn't combine well for me... I guess if you wear flip flops all of the time its no big deal but for me...not good.

Lanyards...are great. You can put your student ID and you're room key on it and you'll always have them with you. I have one with a coin purse kind of thing on it that my cell phone fits in. It makes it so much easier to keep track of your stuff. I'd be dropping and losing my stuff all over the place if it weren't for that. I know they look dorky but they are so handy that it makes up for it. Not like crocs. Crocs are convenient but they are hideous...I'm sorry but they are. You know what? I don't think I've seen a single college student wearing crocs... I'm so proud of my peers.

Speaking of peers. Seriously, I've seen many college students giving weird looks to older middle aged students in class. That isn't cool. They are trying to improve themselves just like us youngin's. Don't give them nasty looks or make them feel bad for it. Try to include them, not ostracize them. Geez, I would've thought that was an obvious one...

I don't know if any other college students read my blog but if there are any of you out there that have more advice feel free to leave a comment.

Am I alone out there?

Okay, here are my thoughts from the convocation today: "Wow, just how annoying and disrespectful are my peers? It really saddens me when I think about how different I am from them. I was somehow taught to show respect and be considerate of other people. How wrong my parents were."
I can't explain how delighted I was to see someone stand up and tell them to be quiet. I guess it was just nice seeing that I'm not really as alone as I thought I was. I thought I'd share that with everyone (or like the two people that read my blog). Don't you love it when God proves you wrong? I know I do.
This is semi-related to the convo. I don't think I've ever seen that many cell phones all at once. Nearly every single freshman had his/her cell phone out texting merrily while someone was trying to give a speech. Okay, it was probably only one third of the crowd...perhaps less...I should give my peers a break. This is the world they've grown up in. They know not what they do.

Okay, now on a different topic:

Wow, just as I was thinking that "Cambridge" wasn't so bad, I witness an especially sickening car crash. Well, by witness I mean that I heard the sickening sounds and saw the aftermath. Seriously, you would not believe the number of ambulances and police cars. And somewhere off in the distance a car's horn is going off...just to add to this pleasant scene.

Before that, I was admiring the campus and thinking that it was really not all that bad. "Cambridge" isn't really too awful. It has its good points. I think I enjoy the mix of the older buildings and the trees. I think that is what gets me about it. And that is why I can't quit staring out of my window. I guess I'm still a little awed by large buildings...

Ugh, now I smell a very icky smelling smell coming from my window...eww. Perhaps it is smell finally drifting towards me from the crash...or maybe it is the notorious smell of "Cambridge".
