Clusterfuck

The other day I was sitting outside staring at a blooming tree, and I started remembering things from the past. I remembered the stupid pranks I pulled in high school, my former relationship with Dae, and senior year among other things.

At some point I tried connecting what I've done with my life since the end of high school to the present. I couldn't recall much more than school and a few trips. At that point I kind of got a little down.

My life since high school has been a giant clusterfuck. My days seem to run together, and I honestly can't tell them apart. When I go to bed it feels like I was only sleeping for a few minutes; then my day starts over again. My schedule has been the same (different order perhaps) but it involves two main events- School and Work. The time I do have off, I don't spend for my own personal reflection, instead I help others. If I keep this up I'm afraid that I'm just going to fry my brain and have a slight nervous breakdown.

I as an individual on the other hand, have grown by leaps and bounds. I'm actually proud of how I've ended up becoming. I like that I have priorities, goals, and ambitions. I like that I say what I want without the fear of hurting another persons feelings. Most of all, I'm glad I don't bow down to my parents like I did as a youth- I grew a pair.

The next four years don't look like an easier time, with my eyes set on Washington University, I'm positive that it will be harder. Many challenges lie on the road ahead, and my sense of time will be lost even more...

Life. It's a bitch.

Likable Statuses

I have been asked by many friends what my secret is to likable facebook statuses. If you weren't aware, I have an extraordinary gift... I am here today to tell my secret.

Step one: Choose a status topic that people like. Examples include sports, alcoholic beverages, mentioning the truth in a awesome and original way, making an absurd statement.

Step two: The key to a likeable status is enthusiasm and cockiness combined into a single package.

Step three: Timing is everything. You can't post something past 12am and expect people to be lying around on facebook to like your status. The key times are 8am-10am, 1:30pm-5pm and 830pm-1130pm. If you miss your window, you will have to wait to deliver your crazy awesome status.

Step Four: Appeal to your male friends... they are more likely to like your statuses.

My Birthday List

So I've been thinking that my birthday is about 5 months away... Here is a list of things I need at the moment.

1. A External Hard Drive. I need to start backing up my files on my computer in case it crashes... I live off this thing.

2. A IPOD NANO. My old IPOD is acting up and not working properly anymore...
