Let's begin with the picture up there. Yup, that's me. I fell off of a bed, onto a desk. There is a story behind that, but I do not wish to tell the entire thing, as it is not truly capable of being typed: suffice it to say, however, that it was not one of my best moments.

I honestly didn't feel like talking about college, so... I'm not going to. I want to talk about my life. I am going to share with you my bad day.

0. How does 0 work? Well, that's because this didn't actually happen today. Rather, this reflects upon the fact that I had to survive the whole morning with that stupid gash that I received on my back. Very frustrating, especially since I am one of those people who prefers to lean back in a chair. Moving on to tonight...

1. My cell seriously exploded; it was really weird. It was in my pocket as I was walking with my friends, and something felt weird: not like a phone call, but some sort of movement. So, I took it out and looked at it, and my screen just...broke. It's really odd.

2. I got a balloon (a good thing), but then this girl knocked it out of the string and I lost all of the helium.

3. After I blew it and up again and retied it (without helium - yes, I had to drag the thing), we were walking back to our rooms, and a deer popped out right in front of us - it was so cool. However, when I moved a bit closer, my balloon popped on a branch and scared the deer off. Two very sad things tied into one. Horrible.

Actually...that wasn't that bad. I mean, yes, it wasn't the best night of my life. It would have been worse if my parents had called and said our cat had been hit by a car. Or if the deer I scared got hit by a car. Or if I got hit by a car. All of those would probably designate a pretty bad night. Fortunately, none of those things happened. Well, my cat might have died. My phone's broken. Oh well. I'll find out when I go home.

I have this strange feeling that I need to tie this post into some worthwhile moral, like: "There will be good and bad times, but work through them". However, I think we all know that, and any other words of wisdom I could come up with. Rather, I try to reserve those for times of consoling.

Man...why did I have to fall off of a bed onto a desk?! So stupid...

    Bad days. I guess we all have them. Usually, I think they're worse when they come in sets...one bad day after another for weeks but sometimes, one bad day is definately bad enough. Falling off your bed onto a desk - ouch, not pleasant. Right now, it seems like this is definately a burn out time for a lot of students. The weather's getting colder so the only thing that seems worth getting out of bed for is to play and instead you're studying for hours because finals are coming up. I thought that a break was what I needed - filled with lots of couch potato behavior - but Thanksgiving has shown, the only thing that can really destress you is to do things that you enjoy. Which is not necessarily the same as doing nothing. I guess my point in all this, is to say that it's important to have balance in your life. Bad days will always happen but if you've got the insight and the will to figure out what things make you happy and actually go get them, you'll be much better off.
