"In the past 3 days, I...
-Drove 1,632 miles
-DJ'd a private party
-Filmed a supercell thunderstorm
-Photographed a $13,333 electric guitar
-Chased a baby bobcat
-Witnessed a blue 'fireball' meteor
-Hit 111MPH in a Lexus
-Purchased my first Mountain Big Face animal t-shirt
-Saw a car accident in a drive-thru
-Listened to 32 hours of music"

This is what I saw when I logged into facebook today, and all I could think was "psh, amateur."  Let me list a few things I did in the past 3 days to highlight how amazing my life is.

-Internally debated with myself whether or not to go to the grocery store today.
-Wandered aimlessly around a cemetery to clear my head.
-Cleaned several public toilets for a little over minimum wage.
-Wrote a few papers, at obscenely early hours of the morning, so I'm pretty sure they'll need revision.
-Daydreamed my way through an English focused on immigration laws.
-Daydreamed my way through a different English class about Adjective clauses
-Aimlessly drove through the valley jamming to Neon Trees (I've already admitted that I am an addict.)
-Took a few minute break to shove a couple plums, some crackers and a granola bar down my throat.
-Texted.  Did a lot of texting.
-Drove a safe 35MPH in a 2004 Honda Civic (because I live on the edge and appreciate the finer things in life)
-Walked across campus approximately five different times today.
-Daydreamed in the library, and then realized I had been staring at a random girl for like 10 minutes, and she had noticed.

I know, by the end of that list, you're probably thinking, "oh man, I don't think my life will ever be able to live up to your amazing life." And while part of me wants to say, "you're right." The part of me that wants to be a good human being, and to have those people that enjoy being around me (I'm pretty sure they're called friends), is saying that you really shouldn't compare your life to mine. I'm sure you do some pretty awesome things too, and we all have ups and downs in the amount of "living" we do in a given week. If you see someone doing what you want to do, don't sit there and envy them for living your dreams. Let their success inspire you to push yourself a little harder so you can actually live your dreams.
