Crushed Ice Cream, Phone, And Ego

One day, I was longboarding to a work center building on campus for a project I was doing. I had to bring a sheet of wood and some ice cream to the building. I had my phone in my back pocket, the sheet of wood underneath my armpit, and two cups of ice cream in both of my hands, all while longboarding. I was coming around this sharp corner and there was this girl right there. I was confident that I could whip right passed this girl, so I didn't slow down. But, then a really hot guy popped out of no where, I got distracted by his beautiful face, still didn't slow down, and I had to turn way sharper than I was prepared for. My back right wheel got caught on the sidewalk and the whole board stopped while I flew forward. Preparing for impact, I turned my whole shoulder, and scraped my whole back on the concrete. I spilled the ice cream all over myself, my phone was complelety crushed, but luckily I saved the sheet of wood that was necessary for my project. The hot guy, who in all honesty caused my crash, stopped and asked if I was okay. Of course I said I was fine, even though I was covered in ice cream and was in the worst pain of my entire life. I was too embarrased to say everything on my body hurt.

Nothin' But Shower Flops

A few weeks ago, I took a shower in my dorm. We have community bathrooms, so I have to leave my room to shower. When I was going back to my room, I realized I got locked out. So, I had to go to the main lobby to get a key to get inside of my room. Of course, all I had on was my towel. When I got to the lobby, my towel fell off in front of a crowd of people. It was a nightmare. Everybody was trying to not laugh at me, but they couldn't stop themselves, which just made everything worse. All I had on were my shower flops. My thighs were so white, you couldn't miss me. All the girls were giggling. Sometimes, I still get flashbacks in that lobby. Needless to say, I've never locked myself out again.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
