I shred coupons for a good time.

I was sitting on the couch. Just minding my own business. And then I hear (insert paper ripping sound). My roommate had just ripped the Arctic Circle coupon in half!

Excuse me!?



To say the least, it turned into a coupon-shredding-dancing-yelling-stress-relieving-PARTY.

That's what normal people do, right? Shred coupons to relieve stress?

Here's to finals. And us losing our minds.

dimes, peristalsis, $100, gravity, & Harry: random facts you'll never need to know.

Tonight my roommates and I stayed up late exploring the mysteries of life. These are the things we learned...

Dimes are the best piece of US currency. They are cute. "You can fit it in the palm of your hand perfectly. It's just in there." Because no other coins can do that. A dime is 10 cents. Even numbers are good numbers. They are thinner than any other coin. FDR is on the dime. AND in the Parent Trap, the girl brings in all dimes to play poker. Inspirational.


YOU CAN DRINK WATER UPSIDE DOWN! Peristalsis allows the body to drink while you are upside down. Yeah. Who knows what peristalsis is? I do! Suckas.  try it. oh. and it's only water. you can only drink water upside down. i'm lying. try milk or coke. still works the same. i think.


Benjamin Franklin is on the 100 dollar bill. He is the only individual on US currency that is NOT a president. But of course there is Sacagawea. She is on the one dollar gold coin. But who uses those? I'm talking about the currency we actually use.


Veins can defy gravity. You have veins in your legs. And those veins take blood to your heart. That means they go up. don't i sound so smart. Can you imagine your veins singing "I'm through accepting limits, 'cause someone says they're so." That's right gravity! What's up now?!
And Hillary Clinton has a problem with blood clots. But I think she will be okay.


This is a fact you really might need to know.
Hairy, as in my mole is hairy, is spelled H-A-I-R-Y. Not harry. That's Mr. Potter.

My People.

Remember that pity post yesterday? And I asked to bring on the love. Well I'm definitely feeling loved. This is why.

my people. 

The kin. Let me tell you, I have the best family ever. FaceTime, texts, surprise visits, bribes to get me to live next to them. They are constantly telling me they love me. And I'm not just talking about the sibs. I have pretty rad parents. I told my mom I wanted to backpack Europe for a month, and she was way excited for me! My dad will just randomly put money in my account when he has no idea I'm on my last $10 for the month. They have this amazing ability to support me in any capacity. So my family is like aca-awesome. And don't even get me started about how adorable my nieces and nephews are. I could go on for pages.

The besties. Marci and Sara have been my best friends since I was two. 2 That's a long time. They know me better than anyone, I dare say. The great thing about them, they aren't going away. Even if they wanted to. They're like oxygen to my flame. hahahahaha CHEESY! And they WILL be wearing those embarrassing bridesmaid dresses on my special day. Muah!


The teamies. aka Roomies. Don't judge us because we have a cool handshake, talk about how much we love SUU every day, and practice saying all of the US Presidents in order. I also only send the ugliest of snapchats to them. That's true friendship. Annnnd....we all have nicknames. Multiple. I've also been through 75% of my college career with Whitto and Bai. Solid. Right?


The games crew. I play games with these fools...like every night. Till 2 am. I wasn't really a 2 am kinda gal until they introduced me to kemps. And not only do I play games every night with them, but they've adopted me into their little family. Like they came and watched me play intramural soccer in negative one billion degree weather. Intramural. They're the bees knees. Oh. And I've only really known them for about two weeks. Can you ask for cooler people? No. No you can't.

The peers champions. Peers sounds so...academic. And yes, I met them all while I was at school, but they're not just my peers. They are champions. Champions of being awesome people in my life. Some of them are graduated, graduating with me, and others are gonna be at SUU for some time. But it's everything they have said to me the last four years that have really kept me going while I've been at SUU. They remind me to make lemons when life hands me lemonade. i love modern family.

The professors. My professors are the bomb dot com. Specifically Ellen and Matt. sorry not sorry about the first name basis. They have made my academic college experience outstanding! Hats off to their incredible ability and efforts. They are remarkable human beings.


So pretty much the basis of this post?

I am surrounded by so many people who are cheering for me to succeed. And that is more than I could have ever asked for.

I'm going to say that you do as well. There are so many people who love you and want the best for you. One of my friends said this yesterday after I posted about joining the circus:

"Life if forcing itself at us, and we have nothing else to hold on to other than each other. And we will hold strong."

Yeah. Hold strong people. Take a moment to see how many individuals are actually cheering you on. It's overwhelmingly powerful. And it truly helped me today. So thanks to

my people.

p.s. it's hump day! half way to the weekend.
