The Most Pathetic Saturday in History

      Happy Saturday! So today I was supposed to go to my school's cheer team's clinic to learn the cheers that we have to perform at our try-outs on Tuesday, and then babysit, except that I felt so sick this morning, having lost the ability to breathe through my nose. My sinuses were so congested, and there was so much pressure that I got a headache. Definitely not fun. I asked my friend to babysit, even though I probably could have gone because I started to feel better in the afternoon. Oh, well! I had so much fun doing absolutely nothing except watch The Bachelor.
      I finally finished the season today (17 episodes in less than three days? Not too shabby.) and it was so good. I already knew who Sean chose, so it was so fun to watch his relationship blossom with his future wife! I won't say who it is in case there are people who want to watch the show without the spoilers (which everyone should!). I thought I was having this awesome Saturday chilling out and not doing any homework, but then at around 2 p.m. I realized that I was lying on the couch in my pajamas eating Cap'n Crunch for lunch, dabbing at my eyes with a tissue because The Bachelor is just so emotional, and talking to my dog about why Sean was being so stupid. Like, that's pretty much as pathetic as it gets.
     I would say that my social life is at rock bottom. I mean, I still see my friends a little bit after school, like we'll go to yogurtini or something, but I really don't talk to my friends very often outside of school. Also, I have practically no guy friends. Again, I talk to them in class, but it's not like I go to parties or anything so I don't see them any other time. I always complain about how I have never had any experience with guys, but I realize now that guys aren't just going to approach me (darn it) and that I have to meet them halfway if I can even hope for a relationship. Which is so hard because I'm so afraid to put myself out there, because every other time that I have gone for a guy, it's never ended well for me. Ugh, The Bachelor makes me so emotional it's not healthy. Do you have any advice at all regarding talking to guys, both in school and out? And if out, where exactly do I go? Haha I told you I'm pathetic!

Carpe Diem,
