Failure
"Failure is an event, never a person" -William D. Brown. This poster inspired me as I epically failed my physics final. Sitting at my computer staring at the oh so horrible score. It was depressing. I looked up and saw this quote. I think about all the times I have failed in life... such as this quarter in school.... and realized that those moments haven't defined the kind of person I am. I consider myself not a failure but a success. Its cheesy yes, but its true. Don't let those moments in life where you think its never gonna end, get you down. Because in reality, what are we going to remember twenty years from now? A "C" in Physics or the crazy friends we had and the crazy things we did. We will remember the moments not the scores. So... embrace the disappointment, love the lectures, because we all mess up once in a while.

Facebook. Like everything else, has its ups and downs. First it has an upside of finding friends you haven't seen forever and reconnecting with them, no matter where in the world they are. Downside, people can find you. SECURITY! how much is really safe? Sure there are security settings and only your friends can read what you post.... but is it really only your friends. FACEBOOK STALKING... lets be honest we all do it. Cute kid in your math class.. consider him stalked. Although some may think it's a form of flattery, others think its a privacy invasion. If your gonna put it up there don't expect to keep it personal. Facebook is also just another form of communication in which you don't have to be face to face with someone... i think that eventually humans will be born with the inability to talk... but our thumbs and fingers will be in great shape! Facebook..... addicting. I absolutly love facebook, not gonna lie, i spend at least four hours a week on facebook, whether that be checking notifications, chatting, or posting, its four hours a week i could be working on getting better grades or getting in better shape. But yet its conforting... until johnny or mike changes his relationship status to "in a relationship". boom... consider his new girlfriend stalked. Facebook... a popularity contest... how many friends do you have? how many of those friends do you really know? Facebook.... A way to show the world how cute your hair looks today.... a way to tell the world how you are feeling.... a way to share pictures.... a way to meet new people. Facebook. Consider yourself stalked.
From day to day
basically the only thing that keeps me going day to day without ripping every strand of hair off my head would be my best friend. She is the greatest thing in the world. literally. without her i have no idea what i would do. i'd be in a heap of trouble. She listens to all the stories of boys, past present and future. She feels my pain when they are being the jack a's they are. She feels the love when they said that super cute thing that made your heart skip and your stomach drop. She listens to me when I'm happy and sad and everything in between. A true friend is not only someone who can listen but someone who can understand you and have empathy. I just hope that I can be the kind of friend to her that she is to me. I freaking love her to death!
