7 Reasons Why I'm Bad Luck

My bad luck has been on the warpath as of late. The saying that bad things happen in 3's is so NOT relevant here.

1. I almost broke my elbow.

Just a little over a week ago I slipped down the stairs and used my elbow to brace myself during the fall. Bad idea! The bone got severely bruised, and I was confined to a sling for a week.

2. I got a flat tire.

I went out for a much-needed girls night out that ended with me having a flat tire. Due to my unfamiliarity with the road and it being late I hit the ditch and popped a tire. The night was worth it though!

3. I got a ticket!

Just a couple of weeks ago I was bragging that I never got a ticket. I should have knocked on wood. My wallet went missing, so therefore I didn't have my license with me. This happened on the same night I popped the tire. An officer drove by and waited with me for a tow truck. When I couldn't produce a license, I got a ticket for $158!

4. My car got towed.

Even though the girls night portion of evening cost me no money going out Saturday night has cost me quite a bit. To pick up my car Monday from the towing company it cost me over $300!

5. I injured my knee.

After everything else that happened, I woke up Sunday morning a little hungover and my left knee that I've been having issues with decided to flare up. My weekend was a train wreck.

6. My bf lost his job.

After 5 weeks of suffering at a job that was paying him 20% less than the job, he had before they let him go. It wasn't going to be a long-term place, but it kept the bills paid for that time.

7. I stepped on a tac!

Just when I thought that the week couldn't get worse, last night while getting ready to take a shower, I stepped on a Tac! I have never in my life experienced such pain. Then I had to pull it out and that hurt even worse! My foot was bleeding, and of course, I was in pain but pissed off at the same time.

Not only have I been experiencing these troubles it's like everyone I know is having a run of bad luck. My Odyssey Family has been struggling and so have my friends. Not to mention all this has been happening since August's full moon.

Did I anger the Gods? Am I bad luck? There is no place for things to go but up! They have to, right? I mean it couldn't possibly get worse (Fingers crossed). Please say a prayer and send good vibes for me and my Odyssey family as well as my friends!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
