the office

For starters, I work at a snack and drink bar at a country club in a neighborhood. It is the perfect scene to people watch and think about random things. It can be slow during the day, so I have a lot of time on my hands.

2. I don't even want to know how dirty that pool is...

3. Why did they stop making episodes of my favorite T.V. shows? Mainly Friends and The Office.

4. I am not getting paid enough to deal with these people.

5. I wonder what Justin Bieber is doing right now. Probably not working in 90-degree weather at a pool...

9. I could be sleeping right now.

10. Dang, I really want those pairs of shoes I saw at the mall.

22. I wish I was rich.

23. I wonder when the whole world is going to be all electric cars?

24. I wish you could go to Hogwarts.

25. I need to start working out more.

26. Why can't unhealthy food just be healthy?

27. Less than 5% off the ocean has been discovered... woah.

28. I still can't get over that ants can lift 800 times their body weight. That is just crazy.

29. I wonder where I will be 5 years from now.

30. I still have 5 hours until I get to leave.

31. Woohoo! 31 is my lucky number.

32. How come kids in middle school look like they are 20 years old?

37. On that note, how do cruise ships float?

38. What should I have for dinner tonight?

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
