“Live as you would have wished to live when you are dying”

What does it mean to live like you’re dying?
In a sense it means to make the most of every moment, take every opportunity and appreciate what you have because you may not have the chance to do so in the future. It can also be interpreted to live as though life is going to end [...]

Too much

I’ve been extremely slack in organising my shit. As a result I only have 2 days to write an essay worth 25% and one which my lecturer is an expert.
I’m afraid.
But more than that I’m also filled with caffeine which is making me feel rather paranoid and scared. Maybe that’s why I’m afraid. Anyway, I [...]

What are my options

It’s 7.43am so it’s MOST OBVIOUSLYBREAKFAST TIME!!!
I’m currently sitting at my desk at work tossing up between eating and not eating breakfast.
Here is a list of factors:
Not eating:

GOOD: Less energy to spend, less likely it’s going to be changed to fat.
GOOD: Save money. I’m up to my last few dollars, I should probably save my [...]

What would YOU with $28MILL?

The prize for Powerball has once again jackpotted to some absolutely ridiculous amount.
This made me ask myself, What would I do with $28million????
The first thing I thought was that I wouldn’t be able to handle that much money. I would end up freakin’ out and spending it on a lifetime supply of porridge oats and Starbucks [...]

Lost and others

There are many people I know at the moment who feel incredibly lost.
This may be this is because the majority of people I know are young people who are at that stage in their lives where they have to choose where it’s going. Not many people at our age can say that they have definite goals [...]

Feels like the crowd is saying…

You know what is ridiculous? The excessive amount of songs on the radio relating to sex and clubbing. Yeah, sure, one or two popular ones are alright, anymore and it sounds the same. Why is no one bringing out original or even EXCITING stuff??? I can’t say I’ve heard any recently released songs that are really [...]

Universitet

And so another academic year has started and here is the run down of my classes so far:

The power of sound

OH SWEET JESUS ON A ROLLERSKATING BAGEL! I’m so annoyed!!! I feel like there is nothing to look forward to today except a repetition of the last couple of days at work here. I don’t have anything specific to do. But at least I’m being paid to sit at a computer all day. Ok. CALM [...]

Can’t haves

You know what I really hate. When my Mum gives me the machine-gun no. It’s like: No no no no no noooo no.
Um. Yeah. You only have to say it once, not a million times like a spaz. I’ve recently been denied getting a cat.
Here are some other things I have not been allowed:
