That Time I Got Accused of Taking Prescription Drugs

Tell a story from your childhood.
I am an amazingly shy individual. That's changed a lot as of the past 2 years or so, but wow, my past was awkward! Being this shy child, I never really spoke up for myself, was scared to talk to my teachers, and didn't understand that people are generally nice. However, that's because I was accused of taking prescription drugs in second grade! (Not really, but it makes the story more dramtic. ;)

In the second grade, I was taking a light prescription drug for some recent stomach pains I'd been having. I think they were just a strong laxative in all honesty. Anyways, we had quite a few different teachers after my teacher quit, and it made it quite hard to keep up with who knew about my meds. One day in class, with yet another sub, I knew it was 9:00 and that I had to take my pill. Trying to sneak it, I got caught. I tried my hardest to explain what they were for and that my original teacher knew I took them, but still I got sent to the principal's office. Anyways, she called my mom who tried to explain, but it was pretty hopeless at that point. She threw them away and my mom tried to explain to me why I couldn't take them anymore!

Cheers to the Freaking Weekend

A favorite photo of yourself and why:

(Blogging almost every day in May!)

This is one of my most recent favorites. It's just so summery, and of course my favorite picture has to include my dog! It might have even been my first day this year in a tank top.

I don't know about yall, but I have been looking forward to this weekend like crazy, but NOT for crazy Nascar traffic-y reasons. Have a blessed few days!

I Should've Graduated this Weekend

Something difficult about your "lot in life" and how you're working to overcome it.

So pretty much any time I've seen today's topic, I've wanted to go watch A Bug's Life directly after. Why, you ask? Oh wait, you didn't ask but I'm going to tell you anyways?

"It's the same year after year, they come, they eat, they leave; that's our lot in life. It's not a lot, but it's our life."

Anyways, so the difficulty about my lot in life. I took a year and a half off school when I moved to Louisiana. Then I moved back to North Carolina, and now I'm an out of state student. It's a horrendous amount of money for an out of state student, compared to in state, so I'm taking yet another semester off in the fall. Then I actually have to apply and turn in a portfolio and hope that I get into my major in the spring. And if not, then I'll need a fall back career, which I haven't decided upon yet. Basically it's all really scary and up in the air, and I won't be able to graduate for another 2 (or more) years. Where if I had just stayed in North Carolina, I would've graduated this past weekend instead. I know I had a reason for moving to Louisiana when I did, but I honestly can't remember it.

PS Today is Melissa's birthday! And she did graduate this weekend. Go congratulate her and tell her how much you love her!!
