As a chronic complainer, and avid “Rose, Bud, Thorn” player, it is always easiest for me to think of the worst things that have happened to me that day (as I’m sure many other people can agree). While brainstorming what I wanted to share with this lovely website, I realized: what better things than oversharing about my perfectly normal life? This week, like many others, I encountered many odd, frustrating, then eventually humorous occurrences. I have (once again) decided to overshare my rankings to the greater public, so I ask you to enjoy. 

1. I accidentally sprayed deodorant in my hair instead of dry shampoo

In the early hours of the morning (approx 7am), I melted my way down the stairs. I rummaged through the mess of my backpack to get (what I thought was) dry shampoo. After around 7 solid seconds of really getting every area of my scalp with this spray, I realized that the contents were not supposed to smell like warm vanilla beans. In horror, I look at my hand and see none other than dove spray deodorant, and my hair now a strange stew of waxy vanilla cupcakes. 

      2. My chipotle had undercooked/crunchy rice 

Perhaps the most disappointing things with ordering online for chipotle, is either 

1. 1. 1. Not getting enough food
      2. Forgetting food that you asked for

However, neither of these happened. A new option arose, as I had no idea it was possible, of all the things that could go wrong with my order, to undercook the rice. Crunchy, dry (did I mention no lime or cilantro), white bulbs filled my mouth, as I sat with an expression of absolute doom and despair. 

         3.  The SAT closed all of my research tabs for my classes

Among all other issues and stress that the SAT caused me, the morning after, I opened my computer to be met with the reality that when closing all of my other applications (for the SAT), every tab for the 4 classes that I have completed extensive research for, all deleted. After going through my search history for around 1 hour (yes I tried ctrl+shift+t and it didn’t work), I recovered almost all of them. 

         4. Spilled coffee on myself 4 times in one morning 

In fact in the same morning as the dry shampoo incident, upon arriving at school I spilled my coffee

1. 1. 1. On my jacket as I was putting it into my locker
      2. Again at my locker when trying to put my backpack back on
      3. Walking up the stairs
      4. Telling Quincy about how many times I had already spilled it 

5. Traffic

I am well aware that I am far from the only person who is truly getting frustrated with the amount of construction happening around our school. Without revealing where my abode is, my neighborhood has been infested with quite literally, every exit closed by construction. One day, I awoke from my nap to find out that my whole driveway was blocked by those digging machines, and I could not in fact get to work (#mybossthoughtIwaslying). I cannot wait for the unusually heightened traffic and construction to conclude.
