Why Hump Day is the best day of the week!

First off, I should thank Geico for reintroducing the term, "Hump Day" to one of their advertisements...yeah, you remember the commercial that forever instilled a camel in your head on Wednesdays - "Happier than a camel on hump day."  Camels aren't even my favorite animals...

 

BUT, back to the point...

Ever since that and just getting halfway through the week, doesn't Wednesday just look a lot happier?  To me, it is!  Think about it, instead of just waiting for the weekend to celebrate, why not celebrate for being halfway done with the week and just gaining motivation to do that because YOU ARE AWESOME!

 

Yeah, I sound corny, but think about how happy you would be if you celebrated everyday as a gift or just as it was your last day, well that's what Wednesday is to me (besides weekends).  For example, today after work I rewarded myself with a "tall, iced chai" from Starbucks.  It can be as simple as that, like other times I would reward myself with a pop or ice cream (depending what money I have or what items are at home).  It doesn't matter what work you did or didn't get complete, what matters is you made it halfway through a week of your life that you will never get back.

 

So...yes, I love hump days and you should to.  They are something to look forward to and are motivating because the week is almost done, thus upcoming weekend!

 

Thanks for reading!

 

Now go out and enjoy the rest of your hump day with a reward because you deserve it!

Vacations, Dentists, and Hump Day

Going back to work from vacations is always tough, even if it's just for the weekend.  That's what my boyfriend and I had to do this past weekend when we travelled to the Outer Banks in North Carolina with a great group of friends.  It was so much fun and it sure went by fast.  I sure do love the beach.  Even though there have been frequent shark attacks, that didn't stop me from going in the ocean!  This was my boyfriend's first time at the beach (in real life), so it was extra special.  It made me realized how blessed I am to travel and go to nice places on vacation esp. with my family and friends.  I was happy for my boyfriend, Gary <3 (hey!) so I tried to make sure that we did everything that he wanted to do down there.  I even rode on a jet ski with him, which I have tried before but I didn't like it and instantly got off, but this time it was fun and I felt fearless.  I made sure to take some seashells home.  Gary had a great time, but hardly slept (I would have not survived on the amount of sleep he had cause when we got there he stayed up and went to the beach super early while I recovered sleep from the long drive).  Thanks for a great trip babe!

But now it was back to reality on Sunday...on my first day back to work, my boss's were not there, so I had to hold down the fort - answer client phone calls and emails, which went smoothly. 

I am a part-time employee at this job, so I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off, well at least for now.  Yesterday I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled in the back,
lower left of my mouth...it was weird because my dentist said it was small, but it ended up being bigger and he found another cavity back there - so I got to take the numbing drugs.  I am not afraid of needles. I really just try not to think about how the dentists and dental hygienists are scraping at my teeth so I stare at the ceiling and at the walls for minutes, even hours if I have to!  The numbing took a little to kick in, but boy am I mad cause I didn't eat before that, so I was starving and devastated when they told me I couldn't eat hard foods (aka all of the good and flavorful foods) for up to 3 hours after the cavity filling...Mind you this was during lunch time and I skipped breakfast like a fool. -_- But moral of this paragraph is that I do trust my dentist, so at first even when he thought the cavity was just small and told me he wasn't going to numb it, I trusted him with all of my heart.  I have heard that many people do not like the dentist.  I feel lucky to actually like and trust mine, I hope someday people can go to the dentist without fear because they are people to, doing the best they can for your job to fix a signature of who you are and what makes you, you - your SMILE!
Happy Hump Day
Here's a picture of a baby gorilla smiling to remind you to smile (even when you might be dreading to go to the dentist)! :)

Touch Technology on Motivation Monday

So today my phone died on my way home from work, I commute downtown on the bus to home...it's usually a 30 min ride where I obviously go straight to my phone, listen to music and check every social media site possible.

At first I was kind of upset because what was I to do and how would I know the time or whether the bus would even come or not.  Then it made me realize how much I depend on my phone and inspired me to post a blog about not only silence, but still communication.

One of my communication professors once said, "Communication is unavoidable." This will forever be true.

Let's flashback today when I left work around 5:40 to hopefully make the bus without a cellphone,

SPOILER ALERT: I did make the bus!

But on the bus ride home as I was just doing the usual people watching and window staring, I noticed the silence and how people instantly just placed their eyes in their phone or just had headphones in (yes, I consider headphones pieces of technology so that's why I named the post "touch technology").  I am not trying to be hypocritical because I do it every day and would have been doing it if my phone was charged.

Today I saw an older man in a red poncho who sat near me on the bus, he recognized me because he has spoke to me briefly before...he always says hi to everyone, and I am unsure if he has a mental problem or not, but he could just be a friendly soul.  I found it pleasant to simply say hello to him because I wondered how many people ignored him because they are too busy going through their daily lives.  People tend to go on their phones to avoid social interaction or catch up on the 411 or their friends' important social media posts or write a tweet about their day (that just was the worst) or to text a loved one saying see you soon. When the man's stop came, he told me to have a good night, I smiled and said, "Thanks, you too" and then the man was on his way.

Take some time this week to enjoy the strangers and scenery around you.  Say hello to a random stranger, if your brave enough...it could make their day. I hope to post lessons that may inspire some or bore others.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to my Blog

Hello there! Glad you stopped by or just stumbled upon this...:) hope you will stick around.

A little about me...
My name is Sarah and this is my second blog that I am happy to be starting. I am a recent Communication: Public Relations major graduate and Philosophy minor. Why those two you might ask...well I like them, duh! But both of them taught me to "Think Outloud".  Sometimes I say that Philosophy changed my life by the way it opened my eyes to see and think about different perspectives.  It's kind of funny cause at first I had no clue what philosophy would be about and I just took it because I love quotes.  But really who doesn't love good quotes about life, love or just for inspiration...speaking of, here's one!

Ya, the best quotes definitely come from philosophers.  Philosophy also allowed me to critically analyze. Well enough of that "love for wisdom" (definition of philosophy) stuff, since some people find it boring, hey some things are not for everyone.

So what will this blog be about?
Well as a recent college grad, this blog will be about of course my thoughts through out daily life as a post grad.  I hope to post topics about technology, social and regular media, the internet, philosophy, news articles, movies, music, new trends, my personal life (hopes, dreams, experiences), communication, and more!  and maybe I will post some quotes and what they mean to me...who knows, the possibility of a blog is endless.

Thanks for reading - this blog will also be used to organize my thoughts and better my writing skills.

"That's all folks!"
