There are many fine things in life, and I’m going to share with you my opinion on some of the things that are, or should be adored by all. Most of these are material items and I realize that but today that’s what I feel like focusing on.

  

1.) Twitter: Everyone should love twitter. Really, you sign up and then are given endless opportunities to share your thoughts and feelings with the world all in 140 characters or less. Doesn’t that just sound amazing to you? You’ll sign up thinking oh this is so stupid, why am I doing this? I’m never going to use it anyway. But trust me, you will get addicted. It’s like updating your Facebook status whenever you want and not having to worry about stupid people posting irrelevant comments because they won’t have enough characters to do so. And you’ll love that feeling of satisfaction after every favorite or retweet you get.  It’s like a technology guru’s personal drug, that sweet high after 20 retweets. Get a twitter, you’ll understand. And feel free to follow me: @leah_buege . I’m aware that I tweet just about every second, but get over it, and click that follow button. #teamfollowback ? We’ll see. 

2.) Yoga Pants: In reality, Victoria’s secret should get its own section but I’d really just like to talk about the phenomenon called yoga pants. Girls love them because they are comfy, cute, and give our ass that little extra something. Guys love them because wearing yoga pants is basically like screaming check out my butt, in a less obvious way. Once you get a pair of yoga pants you will never want to go back to jeans again, that is a promise. The more pairs the better. Jeans, khakis, shorts, what are those? Those words become foreign terms. Yoga pants > everything.

3.) Glitter:  or sparkle, whatever you want to call it, adds a pop of pizazz to every outfit. If it’s a sparkly tank or just a tad of shimmery eye shadow, every bit of glitter can revolutionize an outfit. The “don’t let anyone dull your sparkle” quote is circulating all over  and when you’re wearing glitter your shine can never be dulled. If you don’t own a single piece of shimmery anything I suggest you hop on the bandwagon and hit up Express – their sparkle tanks are to die for! You’re welcome. 

4.) Pinterest:  Getting bored of Facebook stalking during a lecture? Try pinterest. If you’re already on Pinterest, good for you. It’s an amazing way to waste hours of your time, and really helps you learn how to put the pro in procrastinate. For everyone who doesn’t know, Pinterest is an online pin board with categories ranging from weddings to geek to humor. No category is left out. Pinterest has me planning my dream wedding, which won’t take place for years. But when that time rolls around you can bet I’ll be prepared. Feeling forever alone? You can spend hours on end looking at cute cat pictures and funny feline memes to fill that empty void in your heart. If you’re looking for an unoriginal idea for a tattoo, Pinterest has tons of those too. I say unoriginal because thanks to this amazing website, the amount of people with tattoos reading “I refuse to sink” has most likely quadrupled in this year. But that’s okay because I still like to waste my time looking at those pictures. So go ahead and check out Pinterest, you won’t be sorry.

5.) Target: Wal-Mart is trash. Target is where the magic happens and you won’t see shady, strange people walking around at midnight. Everything you could possibly need (minus the greater things in life, such as coach purses, and quality clothing) can be found at Target. You walk into Target with the intent of buying one item, but an hour and one hundred dollars later you walk out happy. For all the Target haters out there – if there are any – I don’t understand you and you can’t be my friend. 

6.) Someecards:  Do you ever have a snarky, sarcastic comment you’re just dying to say but are afraid to actually let the thought escape your mind? There’s an ecard for that! From holidays to topics such as the heat stroke we endured this summer, there is an ecard for your every need. Ecards will always leave you with a smile on your face and are the perfect thing to share with friends. Made popular from the wonderful site of Pinterest (Reference  #5), someecards are the perfect way to share your thoughts without actually having to say them out loud. Click here for someecards

While there are many things that I think everyone should love, I don’t really have the time to discuss them. I have to go to class, which I heard will be very pinteresting.. errr, interesting today. Here’s a list of some of life’s greater gifts:

Bronzer, Sephora, Jenna Marbles, Ugg boots, Coach, Diet Coke, #PrincessProbz, cheerleading, fall weather, hair spray, iPhones, the color pink and the list could go on forever.

Studying.  How do you even do that? What is studying? Many of us consider studying to be the act of having a book open while spending time Facebook stalking your ex’s new girlfriend, instagraming  pictures of the sky, #nofilter, and obnoxiously tweeting so you can reach that 16k goal.  Maybe you will review some notecards but that is highly unlikely. In reality, for most of us, studying is the fine art of wasting time. Your parents ask what you’re doing; you inform them that you’re studying when in all honestly you’re reading Cosmo while texting your best friend about her troubles. Maybe you’re on pinterest planning your wedding and finding adorable pictures of cats. Whatever the case is, there is a 99.9% chance that you haven’t looked at your notes once.  The dictionary would define studying (v) as: devote time and attention to knowledge on an academic subject, by means of book or investigating and analyzing a subject. This definition is all kinds of incorrect. Urban dictionary tells us that studying is a blend of the words “student “and “dying” and the act of texting, Facebooking and eating with a textbook nearby. This is the correct definition. Thank you urban dictionary. I’ve been rambling on about students dying for too long, back to studying.. aka painting my nails. 

My Life:

In high school I was the master of the no study but still able to ace a test technique. A quick once over of the notes the day of and I was set. This is the method loved by all students and my key to the honor roll. I’ve always heard that In college you need to study, which I never doubted, but my efforts must have been lacking because after that first psychology and biology exam  I can’t say that I was satisfied with my grade. The class after that last exam I told myself, Leah you will buckle down and study more than a few days before an exam. I was sure I could stick to this new goal. Naturally I failed to follow through. Now here I am, the eve of my second human biology exam cramming to memorize the bones of the body and the process of ossification. I sit here wondering many things. First I am trying to retain all this wonderful biology knowledge while contemplating if I’m ever going to use this information. As a future communication major I am certain this material will never help me out. Another part of me is panicking. How could I have been so stupid to waste all my time not studying this? I know science is my weakness, yet I spent last night bedazzling my phone case.  I hope that the biology exam gods don’t choose to teach me a lesson with a low quiz score. I can’t even believe I’ve wasted so much valuable time typing this. Back to exercising my medulla oblongata.
