It's Just One Bad Day

Today was a bad day for me, but at least it's over.

It's Just One Bad Day
Johnathan Nightingale

Today has just not been going my way. First I get an email from the company delivering my package that I have long awaited to see. The problem started when they said that no package was in my mailbox, I mean the email I received said it arrived at around 10:40 am, but I could see that they were putting packages in the places they were supposed to be since they just opened. So I decided to wait for an hour and a half, about 1:30 pm to be exact. Went to check again and still no package, not to mention I was told that unless I received an email from the mail center then that means there's no package here for me. The company that delivers it sent me an email --but I guess that doesn't count--. Well, anyways I walked outside dejected a little, thinking to myself that I guess I would ride the shuttle back to my dorm. As I proceed to open the door, I see the shuttle drive right pass the stop since no one was at it.--Darn isn't that something tragic to follow up with--. From there I decided to forget about the shuttle since it would be at least 15-20 minutes before it came around again, I decided to walk all the way to the opposite end campus to my dorm. As I walk into my room hoping to just take a little nap so that I could feel a little refresh, life or should I say my roommate is playing his game with the volume up high as well as talking into his mic at full force. I tried to nap but today just wasn't my day.

About an hour later I decided to give up on the nap that I so badly needed and walk with two of my friends to the library and just do some of my classwork. It actually went well. So we hit up the cafe around 6 o'clock, but the choice in food today were just so unfulfilling that I actually got sick of eating. Get back to my room to see my roommate and my third roommate--his girlfriend-- who stays in the room all the time all day and all night. But what can I say it's just one bad day. Everyone has a bad day every now and then, it's nothing to get to down by, we know that better times are always around the corner. Can't let one bad day ruin all the other days.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
