Late-Night Musings

When people get a little strange in the head.

Late-Night Musings
Forbes

When the hours blur together (usually this occurs between 4 A.M. and 6 A.M., when 'too late' becomes 'too early'), the mind tends to go a bit wonky...

And what results is a random conglomeration of totally irrelevant, non sequitur trains of thought. Here's a peek at what the mind of Julianne wanders off to explore at the wispy hours of late nights/early mornings. (Coincidentally as I compile this, it is 4:08 A.M.)

4:08:05 a.m. I wonder what would happen if I wrote love poetry for myself?

4:08:30 a.m. What if I used toothpaste as face wash, and face wash as toothpaste?

4:09:00 a.m. What if I just never washed anything?

4:13:12 a.m. Why is the Twilight Saga soundtrack so good?! (Also... Why "saga"? Like, that just sounds so pretentious and ridiculous.)

4:20:01 a.m. I could legally get married right now. But I have no one to marry.

4:20:45 a.m. Though, I suppose that's not true... If I went to Vegas I bet I could find some random kiddo ready to jump the gun.

4:25:32 a.m. I wonder what it was like to be Kurt Vonnegut. Did he have a wife?

4:30:20 a.m. Pubic hair is like... a vagina beard. Like a full on beard. That was so wrong. I should probably delete that.

4:31:02 a.m. But I won't.

4:31:10 a.m. I want breakfast. Three more hours to go before the servery opens...

4:32:00 a.m. Oh. My. Gosh. I am so hungry.

4:47:09 a.m. I wonder if anyone would yell at me if I just ran up and down the central stairwell. But then, why would I ever want to do that?

5:02:12 a.m. Roommate: Let's have some drunken kung fu!

Me: No. That is a terrible idea. (At least I was coherent enough to realize that.)

5:15:34 a.m. Huh. Taylor Swift is pretty hot. Too bad she seems like... not the nicest person in the world.

5:27:45 a.m. One day they're going to find a way to marry yourself. And by "they" I mean me. I've thought about this, yeah. Isn't marriage the celebration and declaration of your love? Why can't you do that for yourself? Right?

6:01:03 a.m. That moment when you think you're gonna stay up for breakfast and feel like a badass mofo, but you're just fooling yourself. You're going to fall asleep. And miss your morning classes.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
