I love The Beatles :D

John Lennon speaks the truth. I don't believe there's such a thing as wasting time. If you enjoy sitting around doing nothing, then that's one more moment of life that was ENJOYED. If you have to "waste time" to be happy, it's worth it.

According to the bible, sloth is sin. In other words, if you enjoy being lazy and not doing anything, you're going to Hell! What's up with that?

I hate that there are so many rules that come with life. Why can't we just live and be happy? If everyone just focused on their own lives, I think the world would be at peace. You might think that's just being selfish, but in the end, people like doing things for others, it makes them happy. Everything ties in. And if you don't enjoy doing selfless things, well, it's your life, why should I care?

I think people tend to take life too seriously. We put so much into the littlest things, and if they don't go our way, we freak. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and think, is this seriously important? Am I really going to even remember this in 5/10 years? Life is full of mistakes; make the most of them. Go with it.

It's okay to take things slow sometimes. I mean, I'm all for live each day like it's your last, but I also think that I most likely have a whole life ahead of me, unless of course ( knock on wood) something terrible happens. I actually try to enjoy the present, not stress over the future. Sometimes stress is inevitable, but that's only because of the standards society has set for the world. Why is it such a bad thing to be care-free sometimes?

So I know this might be a little more serious than my other few posts but...I was just thinking. It was just something I kind of needed to get out. I think about this a lot. So feel free to comment, tell me what you think! Or don't. Whatever :) And remember, time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted. Ah, I love John Lennon. And Paul McCartney. And Ringo Starr. And don't forget George Harrison! :)

Sincerely (and tiredly) yours,

Lyss <3

Ah summer. Sweet, sweet summer! Three more "wake-up" days and it's here :) YES!

Soooo. The latest in Alyssa news: Got a total sun burn, pretty stressed out for finals/ grades, and completely and totally STOKED for summer!

Ok. First off, the sun burn. Rarely gotten but often dreaded.

I, being the really just SMART person I am, decided to put on sun tan lotion half an hour before I went to the water park, and never put it on again. Well...We were at the water park for 3+ hours. No sun tan lotion + 90 degree sun= RED!

So now I am so burned it hurts to be typing this right now. Not to mention, I stupidly let slip that I am sun burned, and let's just say: people can be really mean sometimes :/ And now, my sun burn hurts even worse. Thank Goodness for aloe vera!

Then there's the whole stressed out thing. Stress is exhausting.

If you know me, then you probably know that there's no such thing as a "B" on a report card in my house. "B's" are unheard of. It's straight "A's" or bust.

So when you have an 89% in biology and the only assignment left is the FINAL, it's a little bit overwhelming. So there's that.

To top that off, I have like, a 90.2% in Spanish at the moment so I'm pretty much depending on an A on that final to keep the A grade. I just absolutely LOVE that feeling.

Then there are the "extra curriculars." Last night I was totally freaking out about these little card-type-things I sort of offered to do for my English teacher, being the nice person I am(meaning I find it REALLY hard to say no sometimes).

I just barely finished those in time. Like litterally maybe 5 minutes before I had to turn them in.

But moving on to a lighter subject, SUMMER! The best time of the year, right? Well, in my opinion at least.

I am so incredibly freaking excited, I can't put it into words. No school, no drama, no stress just...summer. Fun. Freedom.

What's not to love about that?

Okie dokie, well it's time for me to go now. Wish me luck on my finals!

Sincerely,

Lis :)
