6/11/2018 0 Comments UpdateHey everyone! Welcome back finally. I know I've been on a weird pause for a few days, I just needed to take a break for a minute. Now I'm back permanently, but I think I'm going to write every other day instead of everyday to give you all a break from me for a little bit. Let me be clear though. You are not rid of me for good if any of you were thinking that. I'm not letting you off that easily. Next, an update on my summer plan. I had to change course a bit because what I was originally was way too much for me alone to accomplish. So I switched to something that was more attainable by the end of the summer, as well as something that was more fun for me. Okay, so now that you have the details on me and my plan, it's time for the clue. The clue is that my project is something that can be kept forever. I know, I know! It's cryptic, but it's not fun for me unless I make you really think. Also, did you really think I was going to make it easy on you? If you did think that then you've never participated in anything where you've actually had to use this thing called your brain. As usual, come back soon for another clue and more craziness from me! I'll write you all later.

6/5/2018 0 Comments The Joys of PackingWhat's up guys! I hope you're all enjoying your Tuesday and the nice weather. Today I wanted to get into something that I do a lot, which is packing. So for those of you who don't know, I travel to St. Paul very often for doctors appointments. Sometimes, well, really most of the time we have to stay overnight for these appointments. So over the years I have learned the best and worst packing methods and because I'm such a nice person and I want all of your lives to be as convenient as possible, I'll be sharing these methods with you today. Method #1: Don't overpack! Okay, so I don't know if you're one of these people, I know I was before I learned how to arrange everything. I had the issue of taking way too many bags with me on a trip. My clothes would be in one bag, electronics in another, and stuff for the drive in another. That's three different bags for me and meanwhile my dad only had like one or two. In order to fix this problem, I organized things properly. What we did was we folded each outfit together, then each roll would be put in as far and as tight as it could, thus creating more space than folding would. Next came electronics and toiletries. The toiletries would just get put in a pocket inside but electronics could be put on top of the rolls of clothes since they were flatter than before. Doing this just removed one bag to store in limited car space. As for the car stuff, I know you could put it all in your suitcase, but then you would have to dig it all out, so for convenience, I just keep it in a bag that I can have with me. Method #2: Only take what you need! This one is pretty simple people. If you're going to the beach, take warm weather clothes, such as shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses, sandals, a swimsuit, etc. Don't take winter clothes that'll make you sweat all day long, that's stupid. Yep, I know I just called you stupid but you must be if you take winter clothes to a beach. This method also helps save space in your bag since you're only taking what you'll be needing for this particular trip. Method #3: Be smart when packing. This one is pretty much everything you just learned, combined. Being smart means taking things that are going to benefit you and keep you comfortable. So, let's use the beach again. If you're going to the beach don't pack hiking boots because they're not going to keep you comfortable and it's a lot easier to walk in sandals or barefoot on the beach. Being smart also means having everything you need. To do this I would make a list of everything you NEED, not what you want. Now this list can either be physical or mental. I do mental because there's a less likely chance I'll lose it or damage it. That's it for today guys! Hopefully you found this helpful for your next trip and if not, go look somewhere else I guess. Hope you all enjoyed this and I'll write you soon!
6/4/2018 0 Comments BooksHi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying Monday so far. Today I wanted to get into hobbies and things people like. One of the things I like are books, as you can tell by the title. I have an extensive library, ranging from mystery to mythology (both greek and roman). These books are something that I have really enjoyed over the years and some of them I have read about five times, so you can see how serious I am about them. Now, I know most people aren't into books so if you would like to, comment below your personal hobbies or interests. Personally, I enjoy the fiction and fantasy parts of reading but my dad thinks I need to be reading informational texts about people and places that would benefit me in the future. I ask you, how is learning about Edison benefiting me in a career in technology? It doesn't. My case rests. Alright, that's it for today guys. I know it was short, but my Moto is short and sweet. Remember to comment your favorite hobbies below. I'll write you all tomorrow!
6/3/2018 0 Comments Summer PlansHello people! I'm sorry that there wasn't a fun word before "people", I ran out of cool (Nice) adjectives. Now that that's sorted out, lets move on today's topic, which, if you can't read, is summer plans. I don't know what you guys have planned so I will tell you my plans for this summer. My plans are actually kind of good and not boring for once. I know, I can't believe it either but we need to move on. So my summer will be a little bit busy, as I said before. Later this month, I'm going to Chicago (Well, a little outside Chicago) with my dad and Kenzie to go to an abilities expo. What is an abilities expo, you ask? It is an event where people in the disabled community come and they can see different chairs, therapies, activities, etc. It should be fun or at least interesting. Then, on the less fun scale, I have a doctors appointment on the 21st. Obviously it's not that fun, but I thought I should include it. Alright guys, that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed hearing about my summer plans. If you want to tell me your plans, leave them in the comments. I'll write you all soon.
6/2/2018 0 Comments The Mail ServiceHey everyone! I hope you are enjoying your summer so far, even though it's only the weekend. Today I wanted to do a mix between some new things that I've gotten and a rant about the mail service if you didn't read the title. I'm going to start with the new thing I ordered just to start on a fun note. About a week ago I ordered some new brushes from Sephora because brushes were the thing that I really needed at the time. I'm not going to bore you with all of the details because then we'd be here for a long time. In order to avoid the long, boring details, lets cut straight to delivery day, which is Wednesday. So on Wednesday I look at my updates and it says that the brushes will be here around six. I'm thinking, "Ok, this is fine. I'll just do a lot of stuff this afternoon to pass the time." Anyway, 5:55 rolls around and my phone buzzes with a new email that my brushes are here. At this point I'm so glad because I was running out of stuff to do. So I go to the door but the box isn't on the porch, where our packages normally get dropped off. I'm sitting there thinking, "Did they leave it outside or at the other door?" since I couldn't see it anywhere. Luckily my mom was going out, so I'm like, "Can you check outside just to see if they left it there." She says sure and goes out to check. What do you think she found? The box. The delivery people had left it on the steps, not inside. I'm really annoyed at this because how am I supposed to get it off the steps, it's not like the chair can go on the steps, but all my problems would be solved if it could. Anyway, I get over it and I open the box. I finally get out the brushes and they are nice. They're pink and glittery, which is my favorite design ever. I haven't used them yet but I'm looking forward to it because they feel really soft. Alright, that's it for today guys! I hope you liked it even if it's not the coolest topic ever. As usual, I will write you all soon.6/1/2018 0 Comments Happy Summer EveryoneYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Sorry, I know that was excessive Im just super happy because school is finally done! You people do not even understand the magnitude of my happiness for this day. The only bad thing was that it was really hot so it wasn't that enjoyable. We did get out early though so that helped out a little bit. I don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of summer yet but you guys will know since (cue music for a big announcement) I'm going to be writing for the entire summer!! That's right folks, you're stuck with me out of school too. Isn't that fantastic? Now, a bit of a warning: Some posts might be dumb, pointless, weird, crazy, and boring but I like to keep you guys updated no matter what the story is, so just bear with me for a little while please, at least until I figure it out. You guys can at least do that because I know you like these things, don't even try to deny it. Okay, that's all for today! I hope you liked it and that you have a fantastic summer. Write you all soon.
