From the word's of a great Becca Batman's blog, "I present to you, a “list” I’ve procrastinated on." I have indeed procrastinated and failed to get my life together, and it is all spiraling out of control on *wait for it* FINALS WEEK. So I now commemorate a short list of things I wish were never uttered by yours truly.
- Accidentally calling Hamilton "Hamlet", not just once... but three times (I'm so sorry Trey and Lenore, I hope we can still be friends). - "I hate her," to my neighbor about my mom because she wouldn't let me stay over and eat at a sh*tty barbecue. Even though my spoiled a** was going out to a 4 star meal with my grandmother (I was a terrible ungrateful child). - Every song lyric I have ever sung incorrectly in front of an audience or by my lonesome in my crappy Subaru. - "Yes," when my boss asks me if I want to pick up an extra shift on my days off. They always end up being the longest shifts in history and don't even pay the bills. The metaphorical bills that are hypothetically swarming my life. - Every phrase I've tried to utter over someone else as if my words are more important. As if someone will stop talking so that voice can be undeservedly heard. - Anything I've said that has offended someone because of my lack of knowledge and overcompensation of (again, undeserved) privilege. - Everything I said about Hillary Clinton freshman year. I didn't even know what an indirect voting system was. Who did I think I was? - "I hate you, I want you to leave my life," to my cat when she is in heat. I don't mean it, kitty. I promise. - Any careless joke I remark, not thinking ahead of my mouth and saying something completely unnecessary. Something completely hurtful. I'm so sorry. - My silence towards injustice. - My silence when an apology was needed.
