5 Things On My Mind

1. Can energy drinks actually kill you? Is my life span diminishing significantly because I drink them? I certainly hope not. I don't drink coffee or tea, therefore I need something to keep me awake at night. Isn't coffee just as bad?

2. The fact that an age difference matters while dating in your high school years is bizarre to think about, and almost kind of sad in a way. Why can't you just be with someone, regardless of age? I just took a "Should you date a man who is younger than you" quiz that I randomly found on google. It was clearly aimed at 30-40 something women, however I didn't realize it until I got my results which read, "you may be surprised to find that you actually have just as much — if not more — in common with someone who’s 10 to 20 years younger than you are." Interesting. All I was wondering was if it was semi-pedofilic to be interested in someone 2 years younger than me.

3. High School Musical is amazing, I don't care what anyone else says. I wish it was my life. Sadly, it is not.

4. The most attractive quality of another human being is their passion for their art, talent or work. To absolutely love what you do, to be knowledgeable, to be inspiring... it's a beautiful thing!

5. I hate unpacking suitcases after a trip. Such a drag... and so annoying... and semi-depressing.

5 Reasons Why List Making is Wonderful.

1. They're just plain FUN! Forget watching movies, taking your dog for a walk, going out dancing with friends, playing boardgames, baking cookies, playing sports, playing video games or even singing in ths shower. Instead, make a list!

2. An excellent new tool for procrastination! Notice how many of your Facebook friends are jumping on the "lack-of-status" bandwagon these days? More and more people are removing their relationship statuses completely, making it unclear to the public as to why Facebook exists in the first place. What's the point of Facebook now? What am I supposed to do with all my new found free time? How am I supposed to waste time when I should really be doing school work? What am I supposed to use as an excuse for my procrastination? Make a list.

3. Organize yourself. Organize your mind. Organize your thoughts. Organize your dreams. Organize your hopes. Organize your day. Organize your favorite colors in order of preference. Organize order. Channel your inner organ. Make a list.

4. List making is not only great for personal use, but also to the outside world. When someone asks you what your favorite restaurants are, what do you do? When someone asks you how you are going to spend your summer, what do you say? When someone asks "what are your top 10 childhood memories?", how do you respond? Make a list.

And finally...

5. Lists are a part of everyday life. Your mom makes a grocery list. Your sister makes a birthday party invite list. Students everywhere make lists of things that need to get done and when. Even Santa makes a list. List making is a part of life. Start living. Make a list.
