A Capella Groups

May 9's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Straight Seams - If you can't sew straight, then you shouldn't be a seamstress. Also straight seams are important when you are quilting or else the quilt will look like someone who has no idea how to sew made it. I love sewing quilts because they always turn out so beautifully and they help to express my artistic side.

2. Bay Leaves - They are another spice that help to add some sort of taste to different recipes. I use them in my lasagna soup and while it doesn't change the taste immensely, it still gives the soup a nice taste.

3. College a Capella Groups - While my college does not have one I think that it is amazing what some singers can do with their voices and how they can manipulate them to sound different than they would under normal circumstances. Many bigger colleges have them and they are very exclusive which I think is ridiculous.

4. Mineralogy - While I like to know what is in my drink, I don't really care about the study of minerals. I give credit to those who actually give a damn about it.

5. Watching Surfers "At Work" - Honestly, I can't believe that they make a living off of surfing. I think that more people should be paid for better jobs such as teaching instead of being paid for being a professional athlete. I understand that we pay a lot of money to go see them but why is that even important? It's ridiculous.

6. The Histories of Herodotus - No idea what this is?

7. Unpaved Island Roads - These add an island feel to any island but they are a pain to drive on. On the island that I visit every once in a while there are unpaved roads that lead to gorgeous beaches. While going to the beaches is fun, the getting there part sucks! For the first time I was put in charge of driving down one of the awful potholed roads and it was really scary because I was really afraid I was going to bottom the car out.

8. Young Folks Talking With Old Folks - I think that younger generations can learn a lot from older generations and it's a much needed generation education. I feel that there is a lot of gaps between generations which makes it harder for younger generations to relate to older generations. I love hearing older folks stories though. I think that that is my favorite part of talking with older people. You can learn so much from older people's stories and I think more kids need to learn from people who have much wisdom to impart on them.

9. Spring Skiing - I love skiing in the spring because it's always nice and cool but warm enough where you don't have to wear a big jacket as you race down the hill. I usually just wear a tshirt with under armor underneath it or a light sweatshirt because it just feels so much better. The wind flying past you just feels really good.

10. Spot Removers that Actually Work - I wish more of these exist. I feel that the commercials are pushing themselves out too far because not all of them actually work. The companies are showing that their product is better in the commercials but they're lying.
