Things I’ve Come to Realize

I’ve recently discovered a few things and I’d like to share them with you, if you’d listen (er, read).

Firstly, I calculated it and it turns out I’ve spent about $30 on bandaging supplies for my wounds from my wipeout. I would never pay $30 to go on a ten-minute longboard ride. That’s preposterous.

Secondly, I figured out why I haven’t been getting any jobs. Turns out I’ve been writing my name Kate Hitler Arnold. This works out well for any jobs requiring organization skills, but it doesn’t bode as well for all those childcare jobs I applied for. Silly mistake. 

Thirdly, I noticed my leg hair around my banged-up knees is disgustingly long. Solution? I had my roommate (and health major, might I add) give them a trim with scissors. I hope you’re thoroughly disgusted by this. I, however, will cherish it as a bonding moment forever and always.

Fourthly, on a less joking level, I realized it was about a year ago that I had a conversation with a friend of mine about what he was going to do after college. He said something along the lines of he didn’t know, but he hoped it would be meaningful and God’s will. I attempted to encourage him and said it’s not like God will have you do nothing. After that, I sort of adopted that as my doctrine when talking to my peers about what they were going to do in post-grad life. I threw around “it’s not like God will have you do nothing” so much that I think God is laughing at me now as I sit in my months of nothingness. Regardless, I believe He is using me even in my mundane days, whether it’s for self reflection and betterment or a greater good I cannot yet see, I believe The Big Man is up to something.
