I'm an anxiety-driven teenager. So, when the sun sets and I turn off my phone to block out all the buzzing from the day's busy work, my mind is the one nuance I'm left with. Yet, this one thing is probably the worst, since it wanders and isn't able to ever shut down. I'm an overthinker and, similar to how one searches the world of Youtube with its slippery slope, I'll begin with thinking of something simple and end up with the most complex, peculiar thoughts about who knows what.
1. The U.S. Birthrate is at an all time low
I know what you're thinking, "This is great news! We are way too overpopulated!" However, the fewer younger people we have entering the labor force as they age, the more our economy suffers, this is known as the demographic time bomb.
2. Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
If you're a science-know-it-all please let me know the answer because I will spend my entire life worrying about this.
3. Was it just me or was that interaction awkward?
Is it just me or do you also think about your social interactions throughout the day and nitpick all the weird things you did?
4. I should have said this comeback!
With that being said, sometimes I'll get these bursts of sassiness and be disappointed that I didn't think of the comeback when it was needed.
5. What was that noise?
I will never get used to creaking floorboards.
6. Is Nutella still close to a worldwide shortage?
Hazelnuts. We have to make sure hazelnuts are growing and remain resistant to diseases and harsh winters.
7. How large will my children's phones be?
Phones just keep getting larger and larger. I mean my iPhone barely fits into my butt-pocket!
8. What is my dog dreaming about right now?
I once read that dogs dream about what gives them pleasure; hence, they probably dream about food, which correlates to their owners who are the ones that feed them. Hence, dogs dream of their humans! Be right back, I'm going to kiss and snuggle my doggie right now.
9. Where is my Prince Charming?
One of my best friends has told me that my soulmate is in Africa. The very next day I booked a ticket, but I've yet to find him.
10. Suicide is one of America's top 10 deaths
This is devastating. My heart hurts and I want to do all that I can to slow down this epidemic.
11. There's a wine shortage!
What will happen to our girl's nights?! I was looking forward to being a wine mom! Wait, how is this even possible? I should start growing my own grapes. I need a vineyard.
12. I didn't drink enough water today!
Eight cups of water a day to stay beautiful! I only drank (begins to count on my fingers)... whatever it is, it wasn't enough and now I'm obviously not going to have perfect skin.
13. If colors made sounds what would they be?
Blue would definitely sound like waves breaking against the sand. Don't argue with my logic.
14. JWOWW spells her nickname just like me
Two Jenni's both from Jersey.
15. So... how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
Pretends to lick a tootsie pop.
16. Did I water my cactus?
Due to the fact that cacti don't need a lot of water, I tend to forget to water my cactus, Bart, entirely.
17. Am I watering him too much?
Yet, there are also months that I give him too much attention and over-water him.
18. Will social media take over the world before robots do?
How many likes did I get? Let's go out so I can take a picture for my Insta! I have to Tweet this!
19. Global warming will be the death of humanity.
Our planet is suffering and, thus, humanity is in danger. I worry that it will just get worse and worse until it's too late.
20. For barcodes, do scanners scan the black boxes or the white inbetween the boxes?
I'm staring at my ceiling thinking about the options and I'm confusing myself more and more.
21. What is my future?
This one is a domino effect. Once you start thinking about your plans tomorrow, before you know it you're freaking out about your midlife crisis.
22. Will I be an unemployed grad?
I have three more years of college left, but I'm already freaking out about the real world.
23. What did I do with that shirt?
I swear I saw it two days ago, but it seems to have disappeared into thin air!
24. Am I weird for having my kids' names picked out?
Asher, Skylar, Grayson, Scarlett, Tyler, Cadence, Oliver, Nikolai, Kye, Charlotte, honestly, the list goes on and on.
25. Holy moly that guy from last week just snap chatted me!
I'm not one to play games, so I'm going to read it right away. I don't understand how people can "just wait five minutes" until they open it, I have no patience for that.
26. What do I say?
I'm in dire need of a Flirting 101 Guidebook.
27. Oh my God it's a dick pic!
And that's how you lose my interest.
28. I fear public spaces becuase of guns
An object that can easily take someone's life. That terrifies me and knowing that every time I go have fun with friends and family, whether that be at a mall, movie theater, club, etc., I could be risking my life literally makes me want to stay in bed all day.
29. If the United States is hit with an atomic bomb what do I do?
Cue the 1950's "Duck and Cover" children's song that taught kids how to protect themselves from nuclear bombs.
30. Oh no, if I sleep on this side of my face, I'll get wrinkles!
Who is disciplined enough to sleep on their back like a soldier? Although it's tough on sensitive skin, I will continue being comfortable as I sleep on my side or stomach. However, then I spend at least thirty minutes stressing about my approaching wrinkles.
31. Was it someone's birthday today?
If I don't put it in my calendar, I will not remember. My mind is just way too preoccupied with everyday worries about the important things—dogs.
32. Is my phone giving me cancer right now?
Throws my phone across the room becuase of my anxiety and, then, hops out of bed becuase I just threw my phone!
