three things thursdays- random thoughts



Hey guys, it's me again.

Today, I'm rather bored on this so we're gonna start a new segment of the blog.
It's what I like to call "Questions no one has ever asked  and probably don't care to know the answer to but I am going to answer anyway."
(If you want a shorter name- we can just call it Three Things Thursdays.)

This series is so Ellen DeGeneres has something to base her questions off of when I inevitably get famous for being the most boring blogger ever.

Today's subject: "What are Lucy's most pressing issues that she thinks about while walking to class?"

1) Five-hour energy. I've always wondered, can you manipulate how much time a five-hour energy keeps you awake for, or is it like a one size fits all kinda deal? Say, If I wear to drink half of the bottle would I only have two and a half hours of energy or would I be jazzed for the expected five. Or, is the whole company just a conspiracy theory and is it just the belief that it will work the very reason it keeps you energized? This thought process usually occurs when I know I need to study but I'm too tired. If anyone one knows the answer, please enlighten me.

2) Youtube channel. For those of you who are avid followers of my Instagram or were with me on the NYC mission trip this summer, you know that I spent part of my summer as an independent film star. (Refer to my Instagram post from August 15 to see my moment in the sun.) Ever since then (and long before then), I have contemplated starting my own youtube channel. It would be video montages of me just living life, very similar to the NYC Video but with a twist- not in New York because I don't live there! My other idea for a youtube channel would be videos of me emotionlessly lip-syncing the entire Hamilton soundtrack. Let me know if you would like and subscribe.

 3) Crosswalks. I have a really strange fascination with crosswalks. There's one I have to use to get just about anywhere on campus and every time I use it I get lost in my head about how beautiful they are. Every time I stand on the corner, there are at least twenty people around me and one each other one as well. Sometimes I recognize faces that I know or that look somewhat familiar but often I am surrounded by anonymous faces. I love it because as we each stand on our respective corners, a whisper of promise floats through the air. Some who share this moment with me are on their way back home to take a nap, while others are traveling to their first class of the day. Still more stand in anticipation of their much-needed study break, as they make their way to the lawn to sprawl across the grass or play a game of catch. It that moment, on the corner of the crosswalk, around one hundred people with all different pasts converge before they go on to lead different futures. And then, as we collectively exhale, the light changes.

Well, there's a look into my mind. As you can see, it's all over the place. If you liked this blog post, venmo me five dollars so I can work my way my way to my goal of $30,000 in order to snag a seat at this year's Met Ball which is going to be hosted by my one and only, Harry Styles.

Farewell, Adieu, Adios Amigos.

I've been trying to write this post for months. I don't know how to put it into words. Three months ago- on July 1- I was in charge of the scheduling at summer camp. By that, I mean that I put on a program for two of the cabins of the girls side. So basically, yeah, I was in charge of kamp for the night. After much deliberation, I decided on a pageant. I figured the girls would like it and it would be a fun way to see their personalities. I gave very little rules and the pageant itself had almost zero structure to it. I don't think I'll ever forget that night. I'll never forget the way they looked on in wonder at my haphazard stage. I'll never forget the way Maleficent's Cousin taught Brooke how to fly. I'll never forget that Dixie D'Amelio answered every single one of Brooke's questions perfectly.  I'll never forget how Ana had literal tears running down her face. I'll never forget how Chrystal the E-girl stayed in character the entirety...

light and momentary

  I have been blessed with a really, really good life on during my time on earth. I have two awesome parents and three really cool siblings. The Lord has given me great friends during all my stages of life. I grew up in a Christian home and had a really supportive community around me growing up. Then, I got to spend four years growing and being sharpened at the best university in Texas (hook 'em!), and now I have been given a gift of a year to study Scripture and learn to back up what I believe. In short, I am privileged and blessed.  That being said, I've had really hard seasons of life. We all lived through COVID. Before I was born, my grandfather passed away, so there's one grandparent that I simply never met. Since then, I've lost two other grandparents. I experienced the trivial trials of both high school and college that were acute at the time. And, I am epileptic so there are certain activities and normal parts of life that cause me more trepidation or anxiety th...

looking at Aslan

A couple weeks ago my phone went missing. I was without a phone for nine days, and the original one has still not been found. (Luckily, my parents had a spare that I am now using.) It was strange to be without it, but really, really nice, too. Keep track of your things, but remember that your phone was not created to be an extension of you. Nevertheless, over that week I had a lot of free time that would have otherwise been occupied by some mindless scrolling. So, I read a book. I walked down to the dock, started The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and sat there without distraction until Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy tumbled back out of the wardrobe. And I met a character in a new way. I've read this book numerous times and seen the movie probably the same amount. Like many, I've always been partial to Lucy (and not just because we share a name). She is the original explorer of Narnia and a beautiful picture of childlike faith. She is fun, kind, and diligently loyal to the...
