So even though I have made it my New Year's resolution for the last few years, I am yet again having to remind myself to be more carefree, laidback, and chill about things. I worry too much, I think about the negative too much, I come up with excuses to avoid things I fear too much. I think it is time for me to step out further into this strange world. I am going to take advice from (of all things) a movie trailer I keep seeing on TV for Jim Carrey's newest movie: Yes Man. It's about a guy that always backs out of doing things, always says no to people. Until he is given advice to say yes to EVERYTHING. even strangers. As my counselor reminded me last week, you never know when you could meet someone new or experience something new and wonderful.
So I am going to try to be more chill about things and start saying yes to things. I think those two things will help me really get to experience all that life has to offer.
Easier said then done my friend....
So...heres the clip to that movie though..
Did you go to summer camp? What is your favorite memory/story? If you didn't go to camp, do you feel like you missed out?

I never went to summer camp. I sure do feel like I missed out. But actually, my lifelong teenage-job dream came true. I finally got to be a summer camp counselor this summer. It had it's up and downs. I wish I had done it when I was younger though. I feel like an old employee there. However, where I grew up, you had to be 18 to be a summer camp counselor and there were no CITs (counselor-in-training) for the 15, 16, 17 year olds. By the time I was 18 I had already started taking summer college classes because my goal was to get out of Illinois and college ASAP. I couldn't work summer camp because I had class during the day (which is when camp is) and I could only work a job at night on weekends. But I guess my little teenage-job dream is coming true now. I wish I could say I am making friends. But all the other counselors are 18 and just starting college. I am 22 and half way through my Masters...so yeah..we are kind of in different places in our lives...except for the North Carolina hottie. But we don't ever see each other, so I can't even talk to him to ask him out. He might end up being an a-hole anyway.
I went to girl scout camp once, even though I wasn't a girl scout. I always wanted to be one though. But I think ever since I went to girl scout camp, I wanted to be a camp counselor, and a girl scout leader.
That's all I have to say about that.
