Breathe In… Breathe out… It’s good to do this sometimes. Just FYI.

Okay, now that we got that over with, here goes:

Most people plan their days ahead, set a menu, and make sure they know everything that's to come. I wish I was like that, and I try to be like that... Epic fail!

Though frankly I think it would be rather boring if I knew what I was having for each meal and knew where I was going every day. I let life surprise me, and one day it may make take me to Honolulu or something- who knows!

It's fun getting lost in life, singing along to the radio, and not knowing what will come next! Maybe one day I'll be working and the next I'll get fired. These things happen and they're what make life so enthralling! We all have a story and even writers have no idea how it will end. All we can do is read the story- but not in the dark, cuz that'll ruin your eye-sight (If anyone reading this knows if this fact is true, please let me know know).

I can sometimes go about my life as I know it, and then I realize that I've forgotten everyone. I don't mean to do it, I just get absorbed in my work until someone pulls me out. It's the quality of an introvert. Although I'd like to think I'm an extroverted introvert. I like being spoiled as an introvert by not having to deal with people, but I do enjoy social interaction and connecting with people (but don't tell that part to anyone who isn't reading this!).

Anyways, it can be scary not knowing what will happen next or if you can trust the universe to lead you to a good place. But I believe that we live in a good world where everyone wants to be happy and everyone likes me (so obviously they live you too, cuz I can feel that you are way cooler than I am).

Maybe if we would say hi to and smile at convicts they'll forget for a second they are troubled and they'll leave the dark side....

Yes, people have often told me that I need to be serious and realize the seriousness in life, but I just don't live like that. I don't want to feel the pain of others and realize that they really are suffering (if I can't do anything about it). Because if my nose hurts, punching yours won't help. When I do go out of myself and realize the suffering in life, I feel the pain. I feel it deeper than you would and I don't know what to do with it.

I just can't help anyone when I'm in pain. But if I'm happy, maybe I can cheer someone up who was hurting and give them the internal strength to make it through another day. Maybe, just maybe... (A woman, or man, can dream- right?)

So yes, some people are stronger than I am. They don't shiver when it's cold or get nightmares from the news. But I cry with the rain and dance with the birds, and try not to feel down.

So to all you strong people out there, we each have a place in the world and your strength inspires many. I could definitely use some of it in my life! So keep being you and doing what you do! Let's rock the world together and help each other out!! Let's leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren! (After that, I can't guarantee too much, cuz...)

Here's a tidbit of information so that you can gain even more from this article (wow, this is just the best deal ever!): If you live in New York, 31% of the electricity that you use comes from nuclear fuel... I just found this on Google and I never knew it before, so cooll!!

See you all next week!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
