I know I haven't posted here since August. It doesn't really seem like I have a reason to, because no one actually reads this. But earlier today while I was wasting time on StumbleUpon, I came across a list of journal writing prompts and thought it would be fun to use them. So what if no one reads this? It's my journal. I can ramble as much as I want. So here I go. The first prompt on the list was "10 things that make me happy," so, in no particular order...
1. FAMILY
My parents and sister are the only people I know I can always go to. Cheesy, I know, but the fact that I have them in my life never fails to make me happy.
2.FRIENDS
My friends are wonderful because they don't mind that I'm a nerd...mostly because they're nerds too. I love that while most college kids go to bars, get drunk, and make bad decisions, my friends and I go to bars, get drunk, and diagram sentences on napkins.
3. THE WEATHER RIGHT NOW
SO much snow has melted. The lake sized puddles have mostly dried up so I don't have to swim down the sidewalk to get to campus. It's warm enough to be outside for longer than two minutes without going numb, but still cool enough to take my breath away.
4. SATURDAYS
I love not having to wake up at 7:30 AM. Actually, I love waking up at 7:30, realizing I have nowhere to be all day, and then falling asleep and not waking up again until noon.
5. SPANISH
For one thing, it's the only subject in school that I've always felt fully confident in. For some reason, memorizing vocabulary and conjugating verbs fourteen different ways not only comes easily to me, but it's FUN. Besides the academic aspect, Spanish is a gorgeous language, so fiery and rhythmic.
6. COFFEE
I don't know that this makes me happy as much as it makes me...function. Oh, well. Being functional makes me happy.
7. RAINY DAYS
I want to go puddle jumping!
8. CHOCOLATE
It keeps the dementors away.
9. CLASSES BEING CANCELLED
Do I need to explain this one? Even fifty extra minutes in my day make things soooo much easier.
10. HALLOWEEN
I'm weird, Spooky stuff and wearing costumes makes me very happy.
