I'm not even quite sure what an anti-resolution is, but I'll take a stab at it anyway.
1. I will not try to start my day healthier by eating that disgusting green sludge that probably looks the same way going down as it would coming up. Yes, I'm sure eating spinach and whatever else is thrown in those blenders is quite healthy for me, but it just isn't my cup of tea (my tea gets a healthy spoonful of sugar). Considering the fact that I usually don't eat breakfast anyway, the amount of work required to prepare it then plug my nose as I force it down my throat just wouldn't be worth it. I would say if I manage to at least grab whatever snack food my dad got on clearance at the grocery store last week on my way out the door it will be a successsful year.
2. I will not burst into tears during my graduation. Okay, we all know I won't succeed with this one, but I might as well try. I actually found myself welling up thinking about it on my way to school the other day and proceeded to feel like a helpless fool. I'm going to compromise on this one and say that if I don't completely destroy my make-up and look like my dog just died because of my red eyes in all the facebook pictures I'll be satisfied.
3. I will not forget to get my oil changed. Too late. I just wrote it on my to-do list for tomorrow. (I don't have a to-do list.)
4. I will not comment on that Facebook post I found completely ignorant. We all know Facebook would come up eventually. Yes, I would love to put that "friend" in their place by showing the error in their judgements but I figure if they post something I want to disprove in the first place, they probably won't understand what I'm trying to tell them anyway. I also won't "yell" at that guy who keeps posting pictures of his truck by commenting on his picture in all caps. Save the drama for your mama, kids.
5. I will not punish myself for buying more scarves. Scarves are the multi-purpose tool of clothing. This really doesn't need more explanation.
6. I will not let my mother move to college with me. She keeps telling me I have to get a dorm big enough for her and dad to move into with me. Considering I'm her baby and the last child at home, I wouldn't put it past her.
7. I will not come to terms with the fact that The Office is ending. This may bring more tears than my graduation.
8. I will not cease to believe that Nutella is healthy for me. What is that you say? Nutella is actually full of sugar and not a healthy breakfast food? Please, just let me have this one. It's pretty much the best thing that has happened to me since Ovaltine. There's nothing wrong with a spoon- or jar- full every once in awhile now is there?
9. I will not stop quoting Taylor Swift songs. Haters gonna hate. What else do you suppose I sing in the shower?
10. I will not admit that I am a redhead. STRAWBERRY BLONDE. Remind me to elaborate on why old men are the worst when it comes to this subject at a later date.
Laura, your anti-resolutions are very interesting. I love them but at the same time, they creep me out. From eating healthy food to your hair color, you are just full of surprises and wonders. One particular advice I will give you is to stay away from Facebook. It is eradicating your IQ and killing your time. I know you are such a hard worker and you deserve to stand on the graduation stage at our valedictorian. College is just a small part of our life and your parents just want to spend the last amount of time they can with you before you go on with your life. I know it may invade your personal space but it's perfectly normal. Crying is normal for human affection but just remember that you are not Eric Parrigon. I know I will be full of it when I hug my parents afterwards and move on with life. It's all a scar experience but we have to live with it and I know you will go beyond our expectations. Good luck and remember, Eric won't be crying :]
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the facebook thing! Thank you for all the encouragement I can't wait for graduation! Don't forget you're writing my speech for me! Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteI like your anti-resolutions! With some of them I could'nt help but laugh because I can definitley relate. It cracks me up the more and more I read everyones resolutions because there is always a little bit of Facebook thrown in there. I must say I agree with Sura though, it probably is a good thing to just stay away from Facebook but it's kind of hard because it's sometimes fun to read about other peoples problems to make you feel like your life sucks a little less than theirs. lol. I definitley know how you feel with the issue of your hair! When I'm at work everyone, I mean everyone, keeps calling me "the redhead...." ok, I do NOT have red hair.. It just drives me insane! But like I said, I enjoyed reading your resolutions, I wish you the best and hope you have a good year!! See you at graduation! (:
Laura, i understand the whole scarf thing, even though im not the type to wear them. :) Whenever you buy a scarf it just adds more pizzaz to your latest trend or fashion, it can even be something that would change your entire outfit if you pick the right one. Its going to be ok to cry at graduation, its perfectly normal for you to cry at such a big stepping stone in life. I just hope you have bigger plans in life for after Hight School. :) Its always ok to quote songs, no matter if people like them or not. :)
ReplyDelete:o #3 Thanks for reminding me, I need to change my oil. "The Office" is such a great show! Its probably in my top 5 favorites. Jim: "Question, what kind of bear is best? Dwight: "That's a ridiculous question." Jim: "FALSE. Black bear." Dwight: "Well that’s debatable. There are basically two schools of thought." Jim: "Fact! Bears eat beets...bears.. Beats...battle star galactica." Dwight: "Bears do no-. What are you doing!?... Identity theft is not a joke Jim, Millions of families suffer every year!" ... Such a good seen. I've seen every episode, lol. Well moving on. On #4 you’re so right. I never post on Facebook but i do scroll through the new feed every few days. But I've seen so many people start arguments over the most pointless things. If you disapprove of something *when it comes to Facebook* just move on, they’re not worth your time. Well anyways, nice list, hope you liked my quoting a scene of The Office :] Peace.
ReplyDeleteJake cheated! he gets an F! No free day for you!
DeleteHAHAHA I love that episode!
DeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYour anti-resolutions were great. :) Some of them actually made me laugh out loud. Your last anti-resolution I am not sure I would completely agree with. That is my own opinion though. Number 2 of your resolutions is something that I know I wouldn’t be able to keep. When I graduate, which is next year, I will ball my eyes no matter what. Number 5 of your resolutions is something that I don’t have problems with because I don’t dress up and “accessorize”. Number 6 is something that I can relate to because my mom says that same thing. Her reasons for it are I am her first baby leaving home and we are pretty close. I tell her every time though that I am not going far enough away to have her worry about “being by my side”. I hope that you can complete your anti-resolutions to the best of your ability. :)
Whitney
Dear Loral
ReplyDeleteI will start this at the point of even if you eat junk food for breakfast at least you’re eating something. i start my day by eating a Twix and a Pepsi hahaha it usually holds me till lunch. Next is do you change your own oil? I seen a girl who come to the shop cause her car was smoking and it had 17 quarts of oil in it when most cars take 4-5 that just goes to show how some people thing and on top of that when you go get your oil changed they are supposed to check all fluids and grease everything which even someone who knows how much oil something takes can miss and when you neglect the greasing it actually cost more in the long run than most people know and they cause that damage to their car just to save $10 crazy! Last I hate Taylor Swift you can’t even call what she butchers country music. I just change the station 99.7 classic country is where it’s at!!
I don't change my own oil, Tyler. Lol I leave that to someone that knows what they're doing.
DeleteI really enjoyed your ant resolutions all the way from the green slush to the redhead comment. The first caught my attention because I’m always like man I want to eat healthy blah blah and obviously that NEVER happens. So I have decided to just eat breakfast in the morning and that is it. I will not get up and blend some random stuff together, toast and eggs is fine by me. The redhead comment got me to thinking on how many different shades of hair color there really are, and it’s quite crazy.#2 makes me sad because I know I will lose and cry all day like a big ole baby, why? Because were growing up and its scary and exciting. It’s a huge chapter in this book were living called life. #3 doesn’t really relate to my because I do not drive…I guess I will have to remind Thomas to get that done Overall your anti resolutions were very funny but also easy reachable. Good luck I hope you have a wonderful year.
ReplyDeleteOh Lars, you never cease to entertain me with your writing. Your take on things is always a good one. My favorite part of this list was your Facebook resolution, mostly because you and I are on the same page here. And just so you know, you will not be the only one crying at graduation. Heck, I'll probably be crying right along with you! I can't believe you are all graduating! Nor will I accept that fact.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, you should not feel bad about purchasing scarves; they are handy to have. They insulate your neck and that is a wonderful thing. If my neck is cold, I am not a pleasant person to be around. Last, but certainly not least, I can relate to your refusal to accept the inevitable ending of The Office. My headcanon (which means something that I’ve accepted as happening on the show. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain.) is that in the last episode Michael Scott will come back and tell them to get back to work and the show will go on for 20 more years. Let us hope this is the case.
Dora, you belong in Harvard. I sure hope you cry at graduation I mean who else am I gonna have to cry with?? This is the end of our best years in life and the best memories we have ever created. so I better see you cry on may 12th missy! Yuck! Nutella is disgusting its like rotten peanut butter or something...Lol and you let your mom move wherever she wants young lady she is your mom and you will do whatever you can to make her happy lol! Wait your a redhead?? lol thats hilarious. Hey thats all facebook is about learn to love it. Finally, scarves are awsome they make people feel more sophisticated
ReplyDeleteLaura, some of your anti resolution are funny and entertaining. My favorite part is the last one where you talk about not admitting that your a redhead because your hair is strawberry blond. Whenever your in College Algebra and you start talking about how people tell your a redhead and you would always respond that its strawberry blond. I never really cared about hair color but I was interested when you said strawberry blond and I do believe that your a strawberry blond since you have some blond strands and red-ish strands. Everything else was entertaining and good luck on your list!
