Hi there.
First on todays lesson plan is random acts of kindness.
So.
Recentlyyish, my good friend (CHRISTINA!) was telling me about how it feels so good to do random acts of kindness. She's so right. It feels like you've done the world a favor by, even if you don't realize it, maybe saving a life. You never know when someone will just give up, so I'm going to challenge YOU. Perform a random act of kindness once a week. Or once a month. It doesn't matter. But just do it, because it feels good. Please? I don't care if its through formspring, or email, or texting, or even face-to-face with a stranger.
Which brings me to this.
During the summer, I was at the ice cream store ... getting ice cream.
And there was this girl, about my age, with this realllyyyy pretty dress on that i reaallllyyyyy liked. I didn't know her, and I really wanted to go up to her and tell her how pretty it was and how good she looked in it. I wanted to to it so bad, but there's apparently something wrong with me and I just couldn't. I have no idea why. And I really regret it, it just bothers me that I can't say that. And it's awkward writing this because I'm ashamed of it, but, I just want to let you know, next time you run into that kind of situation, just go for it. You'll thank yourself later.
Now, onto a more EXCITING topic: EXCITEMENT!! (and how it can ruin your day)
So, there's this contest. I'm not going to write down all the details, but it involves meeting Taylor Swift, so I was interested in a second. And I just entered. You have to write a little thing (under 40 words!!!) about why you should win. I'm sooo scared. Becuase the thing about huge contests like this is that every day, you get more excited and anticipate the results. And the more excited you get, the more sad you are when you find out that you lost. So I'm really scared to get excited, but at the same time, I just want to scream and hope and pray and be happy. So I'm not really sure what to feel. Right now what I feel is gaerhgfkeagnlgrsjnehejns,thj,sr.
I have had freaking dreams about this contest. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I do. I have this thought in the back of my mind, though, that I'm going to lose. I read all the official rules of the contest. They said "The Judges will judge the Eligible Entries based (60%) on how compelling the essay is and (40%) how enthusiastic the Entrant is. "
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
