Random thought #5

How awesome is it that a state who voted on banning gay marriage turned around and legalized it 6 months later?! I couldn't be more proud of the change in heart of Minnesota! It's a piece of good news, that gives me at least one good thing to think about amid all my finals....

Random Thought #4

Thrash is a good word. I should say it more. As of now I am going to try to make it have a regular appearance in my vocabulary.

Random Thought #3

I wonder how strong your legs would get if you hovered every time you went to the bathroom... I bet they would get tone.

Random thought #2

Silent study den's aren't the best place to drink out of a camelbak... 

Promise I am not farting! It's just my waterbottle!!

Random though #1

I have a theory that once  you become sexual active you have a pregnancy scary every month.

P.s. This has not been personally tested so maybe I should call it a hypothesis.

THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC (even the title is FAT)

I have just come to a conclusion.

There are no facts to back it, I don't know if it's possible or plausible. The idea popped into my head and it seems logical in the moment so I am going to publish it for the world to see. Why not!?

America's "obesity epidemic" has been the talk of the town for a while now. We are getting fatter! Now that it has come to our attention the government and everyone is trying to find a way to stop (and reverse) it. Our attention turned to New York as they looking into passing laws limiting the sugar in food (I believe it had to do with soda... but it could have also been candy or food in general and I don't know exactly what came of the proposals... Like I said I haven't done my research...). My dad sent me an article (a while ago but I just sort of looked through it today) talking about the role the government should play in fighting obesity.

The ways I have heard of the government fighting obesity, similar to New York, is taxing or trying to regulate unhealthy foods. This is where my idea comes into play.

Instead of banning or limiting the unhealthy food out there (since indulging and eating unhealthy food in moderation isn't necessarily that bad for you) the government should try to help make healthy food more accessible and affordable. As a college student, it would be great to have a fridge filled with fresh produce and healthy snacks but when a green pepper cost $3 at my local grocery store it's just not possible. When I look at healthy foods in the store they always seems more expensive.

Being healthy is hard!! I worked out today but I can't say I work out as much as a should... I try to eat fruits and veggies but it's expensive! (and fries and pizza might taste goodddd....) But the government telling me what foods I CAN'T eat isn't going to make me make the healthy choice. Stubborn me is simply going to find other unhealthy foods to eat and add another teaspoon of sugar to my soda.

Right now, my view on how the government should deal with the "issue of obesity" would be to help us be able to more easily live a healthy life! I am thinking something along the lines of helping make fruit and vegetables and other healthy food easier for us to eat (but I will give them creative ability on this one).

Maybe I will actually do real research on this topic, (since it is interesting!) and write an educated post... But for now... :)

VLOGGG just for you. And my procrastination. :)

Slacking like a champ

I am such a slacker. Shall we make a list of the the reasons why!? Why not :)

1. I haven't written a blog post in forever
2. I haven't even looked at blogger in forever (besides reading Taylor Shiff's speech for graduation, which she linked to facebook so it's was super simple...) so I am really behind on blogs! well Kira's...
3. I am behind on reads for chem and physics... which isn't a huge deal, but still! What else have I been doing with my life, I could be keeping up
4. I still have not started (**SIDE NOTE. I just sneezed REALLY loud... it scared me...**) revising my spanish composition due tomorrow at 9:55am (it's currently 1:01 (A PALONDROM) and it's not like I am in a huge rush to start, aka the reason for this blog post)
5. I haven't watched Gossip Girl, or any of my shows (HIMYM, bones, psych, etc) in forever
6. For the past, going on three weeks now, I haven't really done homework on Wednesday or Thursday night... (maybe motivation is what I need) 
7. I am really good at distracting myself so I don't do productive things... 
8. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!?

Well on that note. 

I just feel so lazy and unproductive lately and lack consisted motivation (meaning I go through stretches of doing stufff and then I get days like today where... I have done nothing... GRANTED I did start class at 7:45am had a 2ish hour lunch break where I ate lunch and sat outside reading chem notes for my quiz I had this afternoon while people told me that I listen to weird music... and then I didn't get home until after 8pm. SO I did do stufff today. Just not homework. Like this composition (the spanish one, see #4)! But it's annoying! I just want to power through until finals and then enjoy the summer after I have done well in classes! BUT NO. My mind and body apparently think this is not a good plan and are all "no let's not focus and finish your homework. Studying? What's that?? LET JUST WING IT." Grrrrrrr mind. stoppppppp. AND it doesn't help that I have been in a weird mood for the past TWOISH weeks... Which is annoying on it's own! And it's an inconsistent weird mood... It's a mix of being grumpy, more rude, semi sassy, a tad less talkative, a little more tired and a mix of other emotions I just don't even know... I was trying to figure out why I haven't totally been myself and what was up with the mood changes and I feel like it sort of has to do with stress and school and everything but I am not totally sure... Right before spring break I failed a physics test. Technically curved it was a BC or C (BC is a B- or something... I don't know Madison is weird, it confuses people, I DIDN'T MAKE THE SYSTEM) but it was a 55%. So I failed. And that was dumb. I was super mad at myself (/am still frustrated). Physics sucks. Or I suck at physics. Or a combo of both but probably just the latter. Since I am not doing as well in that class as I want to be and I am also not doing as well in chem as I want to be, I sort have been worrying about that... I've been trying to work harder in them and I have stayed in more to work on school stuff (though I normally just get distracted and go on youtube etc. so it's pointless). I actually did okay on my last chem test! It was a grade I was happy with and I think I can get an AB in the class which is good :) But I didn't even do much better on my last physics test... Though the curve was 10 points lower which is helpful... It's just discouraging... ALSO I just all of the sudden decided to change my mind and not double major in Spanish and not study abroad for a year and just do fall semester junior year and be open to going somewhere English speaking and not just Spanish speaking. It was super random. I was just "no. I am not doing this life plan anymore. Let's find a new one." Which for me, is sort of super weird... Spontaneity is great but I don't have it when it comes to things like this... It took me like three days to mentally prepare for taking home my box from Mixed Media 1! It's not even like it was that big (in size)! Last week I was super into figuring out what I was going to do with my life and looked into new study abroad programs etc. but now I've mellowed a little. Though I was stressing/ freaking about that for a bit... Oh and I forgot that I have the classes figured out that I am gonna take next year and I think it's gonna be hard and I am not totally excited for them.... Though with my change of heart about Spanish makes my spring semester will be a bit easier. My mom was also freaking out about my schedule and telling me I should change it or drop something and it was REALLY annoying/more stressful since I have to take everything I am taking to not fall more behind, especially since studying abroad for any amount of time is gonna set me back. (GRIFFIN'S HOME (my neighbor who is never home. It's always exciting when we see him because we never see him... and no one knows him...)) So I feel like all of that just manifested and has made me in a weird mood. This is also the first time I have talked it all out so hopefully this post will be helpful for my soul. It's a bummer though, I feel bad that I have been more grumpy etc... My friends have said stuff, and some of it I am just teasing and they take the wrong way (which I guess is still an issue, but a separate one) but I think my mood is affecting them in a negative way... I try to apologize though and say I am just not myself right now. Though it might be a direct affect of my mood, or something I am making up because of my mood but I also feel like they have started to be more mean to me too. I just noticed it the last few days but they are all teasing me more and not just like cute every now and then teasing that is obviously teasing (that I appreciate and think is cute and participate in) but teasing teasing like "oh that's how you feel I'll just go sit in the corner by myself because I don't know how to respond and I am not feeling this conversation." I am probably just being melodramatic, because that has also been a common emotion (or reaction? what is melodramatic?) of the past few weeks... 

WELL ANY WHO. It's been over an hour. and I should probably actually do homework. or make a vlog... ;) this was definitely a diaryish entry... so sorry if it's awk. I should probably delete a lot of it but that sounds like a lot of work and it was sort of nice to type it all out :) Hopefully I go back to my normal Jenna self soon! The ADD has obviously not gone away ;) #seeallthoserandomcommentsinmypost
