Something In The Water

I haven't had many "lessons" in the past week, due to being locked in the study cave known as my bedroom. Ah, the life of a student. However, I did jot down a few lovely things to pass along.

I started doing a liver cleanse last week in order to start being healthier and all that fun stuff.  My liver cleanse is pretty easy and basically all I need to do is take four pills a day and they are just supposed to magically cleanse me.  Of course with this cleanse came a recommended list of "suggestions" you can do to improve the quality of your cleansing experience.  Myself, being the hardcore go getter that I am, decided to follow that list...which brings us to Life Lesson # 9: Don't ever cut out caffiene the week before you have exams.  I have what is known as a straight up coffee addiction.  I probably drink anywhere from 3-6 cups a day.  You can only imagine how my first few days without it were.  Moral of the story: Never cut out caffiene cold turkey.  Slowly ease yourself off of it and then stop drinking it.  It will probably save you many headaches and grumpy spells.

One of my friends sent me a youtube video last week in attempt to make me laugh, or maybe scar me for life...I haven't actually decided yet.  Anyways this video was titled "How to get a boyfriend in middle school"...enough said.  I was excited to learn some prime tips on how to pick up my future man and boy did this video teach me everything I needed to know.  Life Lesson # 10: If you want to get a boyfriend, walk up to him, wink, and be like "haaaaaaaaaaaay" (make sure you do it in a ghetto black voice too, this is important).  Needless to say the end result of this video was me laying on my bed crying with laugher.  Moral of the story: Don't ever watch a you tube video for dating tips.

This last lesson is something a little more practical to apply on a day to day basis, and I've had a really good last few weeks because of it.  Life Lesson #11: Embrace the little things.  The smiles, the laughs time spent with friends, good food, those text mesages that make you giggle, a beautiful snow fall, a warm drink when you are freezing cold, or a song that makes you get up and dance around the room like you are eight years old again.  Moral of the story:  Don't let the big things get you down.  Enjoy the small things as they come, they make everything else seem so much more worth it.

Good night world!
