Blog Hoppin' x3 (with some new friends)

10 snapshots from my everyday life:

10 Things on my bucket list:
1. Go to Harry Potter World... yes, this is serious.
2. Help build a school and/or teach kids in Africa
3. Study abroad in Europe
4. Visit every state in the US
5. Live in an old, big house in Meridian Kessler (or the equivalent somewhere else)
6. Join Teach For America
7. Attend a New Year's celebration in Times Square
8.Learn to ski (water and snow)
9. Become a parent
10. Meet Taylor Swift

10 of the most important things I've learned so far:
1. Its okay to be over-whemled and stressed and need help. People want to help you. Even if that means just listen to you vent about everything you have to do or that is going on in your life.
2. Family is really important. Sometimes its worth it to skip out on whatever your friends are doing that night and hang out with your mom.
3. When people say its important to be yourself- its not corny, its true.
4. Not everything is a big deal, even when it feels like it.
5. Prayer is incredible. You should do it often.
6. Its important to show up.
7. Sometimes you have to go out of your way to show people you care. Its worth it.
8. Really honest, genuine, good friends are rare- so when you find them, work to keep them.
9. There is such thing as Heaven on Earth- its called camp.
10. Sometimes you just have to let things go.

...Reasons you really should look both ways before crossing the street
1. So you don't end up like Regina in Mean Girls
2. So you don't cause a car to break too quickly and potentially cause a whole series of accidents
3. In case a giant bear or monster or dragon or spider is coming
4. So you can live & go to college & get married & have kids.
5. So you can sing that song "stop look and listen" and really mean it
6. So you don't get injured & end up not being able to be a counselor the next summer
7. To avoid a potentially embarrassing story on the news
8. What is a car ran you over and a really mean person was driving and they just kept going... thatd be awful.
9.So Mindy doesn't get mad
10. So you don't end up in hospital not allowed to eat things like Chipotle burritos & Mellow Mushroom pizza

...Ways today was great
1. Chad and I became friends
2. We learned about limits in calculus and I got to say the Mean Girls line- "the limit does not exist!"
3. I had a Chipotle burrito that I've been wanting for like a week!
4. I got to eat it with Sar and talk and make lists
5. I made cupcakes for 4 hours for Indianapolis's only treat truck!
6. People at school liked my dress
7. I got to skype Mags while she was still at school
8. For the first day in a long time I was done with all my college application stuff
9. I had practically no homework
10. I left my phone in my car while I was at school and at the end of the day I had 9 texts!
