Brain (And Body) Freeze


For all of you who thought negative degrees were something only in movies, nightmares, or Antarctica, think again. The last time I checked my weather app, Provo on Saturday had a high of 12, with a low of -8. No matter how many layers you put on, you will still get a nice set of permanent chill bumps and red rosy cheeks that are a great accessory for any outfit!

I tried to think of some New Year’s Resolutions this year, but the farthest I could get was to drink more water. However, after a few days of this, I would NOT recommend it. Drinking water has side effects. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Our apartment sat down to watch the Bachelor, and it was here that I realized how much I love my apartment. I don’t know what we were more intrigued with- making fun of the stupid girls on the show, or the football game we kept switching back and forth between (Go Alabama!). Yes, we may be known as “the most exclusive group on campus” or even “The Housewives of Provo”, but hey, we love a good football game. (Side note: as quoted by Brighton, “The only thing harder than getting in, is staying in”).

Brighton and I decided to go to Costco since the weather was nice (a whopping 31 degrees), and all it did was confirm how I should not be allowed to push a cart. Distracted by the tortilla soup sample and a grumbling stomach, I nearly took out a little old lady. Luckily I only hit her cart, but it definitely caused quite a scene. “Oh my gosh! This is so embarrassing, I’m so sorry!”

 “No, no sweetheart, it was my fault!”

 “No, seriously. I’m just a terrible driver! I’m so sorry!” By this point I’m covering my face and dying laughing, accompanied by the 10-15 people around me. The kind worker tried to offer some comforting words, “Well, at least you can laugh about it?!”

Ladies and gentlemen, don’t drink and drive. Also, don’t day-dream and drive a cart on an empty stomach. Accidents happen.
