Actually Really Nice

Other people may have some great memory about some hiking trip or something like that but mine is more simple. A memory that I will never forget is being down in Florida. I just remember standing where the docks meet the boardwalk looking out into the distance. There were no people around, just a few boats and miles upon miles of open water.  The calm water was creating tiny waves on the sand and rocks on the bank. A light breeze was in the air, with the soft smell of fresh rain. My mouth had a slight taste of salt from the ocean air.  Even though I was only standing there for a half hour, it seemed like a year. No phones going off, people talking, or the sound of cars driving past in the background - complete silence.  Almost like time stood still, like I was detached and just taking a break from the hectic world around it. And in that moment standing there, it seemed like the weight of the world was off my shoulders. I don’t know how to describe it but it was almost like my mind went empty.  I wasn’t worrying about things or thinking of anything that I need to do or that has to be done. It was just the simplest moment of my life, and it was nice.

Christmas With A Little Bit Of Salt I Guess

Well everyone has there story about how they found out that santa wasn't real. It's usualy filled with disapointment and maybe even some crying. (For those of you who must have really liked santa) But unlike other people I was never told that santa was actually real, so I never actually "believed" in santa. (I no some of you are thinking no way you making that up, everyone when they were a kid believed in santa) Well none of you grew up with a sister like mine.

If you knew my family, you would find that we're a little different. (But then again who doesn't think there family's a little off) But the thing about me growing up, is my older sister was and is to this day absolutly affraid of everything. (Ok not everything but a lot) She was the one who I guess you could say "ruined" the thought of santa for me. Since she is afraid of everything, during Christmas time when every little child would go to bed early in the hopes that santa would come early,(Or fast or something) Or even the stories of little kids trying to stay up all night so they could see santa for themselves, my sister would be sleeping with a bat. (And no, not a bat like a little stuffed animal bat, she would sleep with an actual baseball bat) The thought of some fat man coming into our house through the chimney to give us present scared her to no end. So to make her stop sleeping with a baseball bat my parents had to tell her that santa wasn't real so that she could actually sleep and not stay up all night ready to attach the man breaking into our house. (Yeah sounds weird, I no) In a way, now that I look back on it, she was right. Why would we want a fat man we don't no, coming into our house to give us presents? (Kinda sounds like a pedophile if you really think about it...just saying) So in my mind she was the only person who actually was thinking sainly.(What do you want kids to think it's ok for a man to come into your house when you are sleeping..no..scary and not good.) But anyways, becuase of her, when I was young my parents always told me that Christmas is inside of you and that we are all santa inside. In a way it was nice knowing this and I never had the moment when my heart was broken because the fat man wasn't real. So I guess I should thank my sister.

Salty About Student Parking Lot

Ok I no I haven't blogged for a long time but there hasn't been that much that has made me mad. This blog today is towards the underclass men of the student parking lot. (which is everyone other than the seniors) Well there aren't many rules about the student parking lot. People have smashed pumpkins and have tailgated in the parking lot, but there is one rule that you should no because its getting on peoples nerves. (yes, not just mine, I've talked to other people and it annoys them to) The one thing you need to no is at the end of the day when you're pulling out of the student parking lot DON'T STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. The guy standing there waiving you on isn't doing it because he wants an arm workout. He's there telling you that it is ok to go and that you'll be fine. There is clearly know one coming. Also, (maybe you don't realise it because you don't look in your rear view mirrors) but there are about a million cars lined up behind you wanting to get out as fast as possible. By you topping, it makes less people able to leave before the buses. Therefore we all behind you have to wait until all of the buses pass before we can leave to go home. (ok it's not that much time but it's still enough that it gets on your nerves it you have to be somewhere in a hurry) So PLEASE stop driving like a old person who can't see very well so that a bigger number of students can get out at one time. Thanks and don't worry you'll have to tell the underclassmen this next year.
