Act like a 12 year old sometimes...it's only healthy!

As I approach my 20th year in existence I've been examining my life more and more.  I am half way done with college. Two more years until I am shoved into the real world and the one constant that has helped me to get through anything and everything, volleyball, will be over....for good! While those thoughts are enough to make me have a mental breakdown, buy out the whole chocolate section in Walmart, and Red Box the most sappy chick flick available, it's a reality that I will have to deal with so very soon!

But, I prefer to focus my time on lighter subjects in life, like what happened on the Real World: Las Vegas last night, or how gorgeous the Royal Wedding will be tomorrow. Anyone that has spend at least five minutes in my presence has more than likely realized that I love to crack jokes. Good ones, bad ones, horrible ones...doesn't matter! I will do ANYTHING to make someone laugh. Laughing is my favorite thing to do! And what makes laughing even better is laughing with someone else! (let's get real, people give some serious dirty looks when there is only one person in a group laughing. that's just fact!) During one of the great conversations that my friends and I had at the Caf during lunch we talked about acting like a silly and carefree 12 year old. While we would not reccomend this as an all day, everyday lifestyle, we all agreed that acting like a kid who doesn't care about what others think, messes around and cracks jokes, isn't thinking about how much homework they have to finish or how stressful their life is, and just has some genuine, carefree fun is the BEST THING EVER! Talk about a stress releiver. Even if it is just for a few moments, those moments will be the memories you will never forget. Around campus I saw a sign that read "You can always retake a class, but you can never relive a party." While I don't fully agree with having so much fun that you're forced to retake classes (that's a LOT of wasted money!), I do agree with scheduling out your time in order to leave some space for goofing-off and acting like a kid. You're never too old to let loose and dig into your inner child.

I know that someday I will have to grow up and become more responsible, but I hope I never loose my inner child. I plan on being 98 years old, living in a nursing home, and still cracking jokes to all the toothless old people around me! YOUNG AT HEART <3


*Special thanks to Sydney Dunavin: my #1 blog supporter. And for being a part of the Caf conversation I explained above (along with Kay and Rem).  And another special thanks to Trey Ennis who said that after reading the first line of my previous post he was not impressed and decided not to read the rest...I hope I jazzed this one up a bit for you!

Just some funny pictures of me and my friends. They make me laugh...if they make you laugh, that's great too!! :)
