If You Feel Lost...This Is For You
Jessica Orczeck

You may have just started college this year or maybe it's your second or third. You may be a junior or senior in high school and are feeling the immense pressure of the society expects from you. You may be a brand new mother at 16 or 30. You may have just gotten in a relationship or have recently left one and have no idea what is expected of you. You may have experienced the death of a person very close to you and don't know what to so next in life. You may have just been married and have no idea what to do. You may have lost your best friend and boyfriend all in one swift set of words.

Whatever happened can feel horrible and you may feel like you are lost. You don't know where to turn for comfort and you may not know what makes you special. All the comforts of your world may have left you and you have no idea how to handle that.

You're lost and that is okay. Take some time, reconnect and find yourself again. Read that book you have had your eye on, slap on your skies and conquer the black diamond slope, or volunteer at a nursing home and listen to the stories of the generations prior to us.

Being lost is not always a bad thing. You can learn so much about yourself as a person and how you affect those around you. So pick yourself up, hold your head high, and find yourself for a moment in this chaotic journey called life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
