Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

I should probably be studying or doing something much more efficient than writing a blog that no one reads. Oh well. It's therapy for me to sit here and write about how crappy my life is or what an awful day I had. Let me tell you, they can't get much worse than today. Ok, so they can, because I've been there, but today is definitely on my Top 10 worst days ever. I woke up in a pretty good mood, or as good of a mood as one can be in when they have to wake up at 7 for an 8 o'clock class. It was still pretty good. I got ready and was walking out the door, ipod in hand. The first song of the day was "Burnin' Up" by my boys, Jonas Brothers. That made me really happy. It progressively got worse from there. I couldn't buy my tickets for the 3D movie because I was using my mom's credit card, seeing as I don't have one, and come to find out, you have to use said credit card the night of the movie to pick up your tickets! Well that's not happening, so as of right now I have no Jonas Brothers, 3D movie tickets. :( I had a fight with my mom, not once, but TWICE today! That's always fun. I'm missing my friends back home like crazy and it's probably going to be spring break before I get to see any of them, if they even get a spring break because of all this stupid ice!

But even in all that bad, my life is still really good. I could have it so much worse. I'm truly thankful for everything I have. I know how short life is. That was proven to me again this week with the sudden death of my uncle. The things I have here aren't important. Sure, they make life more entertaining and enjoyable, but they aren't everything. I'm healthy. I'm getting a college education, which is beyond what a lot of people get. I have family and friends that love me and support me no matter what. I have role models who actually stand up for what they believe in and I can look up to as an example to live my life. I'm lucky. I have so much.

I'm gonna leave you with the lyrics to an awesome song by a band that I've recently fallen in love with. Candle (Sick and Tired) by The White Tie Affair. The lyrics are so powerful and really describe a lot of my life right now. Give it a listen. I'm sure you'll like it too.

I took a ride on a February morning

Just getting over it and dealing with the mourning

I started thinking out loud

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

Somebody turn the lights on

Somebody tell me what's wrong

I'd be lying if I told you

Losing you was something I could handle

Somebody turn the lights on

Somebody tell me how long

All this darkness will surround you

'Cause I'm burning for you

Burning like a candle

Love,

Jen
