A Case Of Bad Luck

With good luck comes bad luck; it's a balancing act.

A Case Of Bad Luck
Rodas coaching

In life, one must go through their ups and downs. And let me tell ya, being a superstitious person myself, once you hit your downs it's hard to get back up. Bad luck is real folks and once you've experienced it it's hard to deny it. Bad luck can come in threes, or it can come all at once and hit you like a train.I've learned if I'm having a lot of "ups" and positive things are occurring, it won't last too long. This was proven once my good luck ran out and a series of unfortunate events began to occur in my life. (One being in a huge car accident right before final testing). Maybe it's that lucky bracelet you didn't wear with you or that unlucky sock, but the world may never know if bad luck, karma or superstition are actually real. One day you may feel as though the whole world is against you and wants to see you fail, and the next you may feel like you've conquered it all. Bad things that happen to you can really knock you down, and those experiences can put you in a slump. It can feel impossible to get out of a slump, but with a positive mind you can see the good in every bad situation.

Bad luck happens a lot in life, especially when you step back and realize how lucky you really are. People often take things for granted, but once bad luck strikes hard, it opens your eyes to how fortunate you truly are. The key is to grow from bad luck. In ways, bad situations can make you stronger, build your character and open your eyes to the world. If you think of it like this, in no time you'll be back on top! Don't let this bad luck cloud hover over you because, alas, everything is a balance!

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
