50 Random Things I Think About While At Work, When It's A Slow Day

My brain wanders when I get bored.

the office

For starters, I work at a snack and drink bar at a country club in a neighborhood. It is the perfect scene to people watch and think about random things. It can be slow during the day, so I have a lot of time on my hands.

1. How do these 10-to-14-year-olds have so much money to spend on food?

2. I don't even want to know how dirty that pool is...

3. Why did they stop making episodes of my favorite T.V. shows? Mainly Friends and The Office.

4. I am not getting paid enough to deal with these people.

5. I wonder what Justin Bieber is doing right now. Probably not working in 90-degree weather at a pool...

6. Food.

7. Why do mosquitoes and flies exist? They don't do anyone favors except by being annoying.

8. Sharks never stop swimming.

9. I could be sleeping right now.

10. Dang, I really want those pairs of shoes I saw at the mall.

15. I have to work tomorrow.

17. I need to start buying cute outfits for football season.

18. I miss my dog.

20. Why are people allowed to kill exotic animals like giraffes and lions?

21. I haven't stopped sweating since I got to work.

22. I wish I was rich.

23. I wonder when the whole world is going to be all electric cars?

24. I wish you could go to Hogwarts.

25. I need to start working out more.

26. Why can't unhealthy food just be healthy?

27. Less than 5% off the ocean has been discovered... woah.

28. I still can't get over that ants can lift 800 times their body weight. That is just crazy.

29. I wonder where I will be 5 years from now.

30. I still have 5 hours until I get to leave.

31. Woohoo! 31 is my lucky number.

32. How come kids in middle school look like they are 20 years old?

33. I'm going to own an island one day.

34. I wonder if anyone would notice if I left and went home?

35. I can't wait to go back to school.

36. How do airplanes fly themselves? They weigh like 170,000 pounds.

37. On that note, how do cruise ships float?

38. What should I have for dinner tonight?

39. People really need to stop polluting our oceans.

40. Is it time to leave yet?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
