My rant for today is the website, www.mylifeisaverage.com, which is a sort of retaliation website to www.fmylife.com. Not that I'm hating on this website at all, quite the contrary--I think it's great and offers up some really funny personal stories. My issue with this website however, is that I don't feel that these are average daily stories. For a lot of these, I feel like they would make my day so fantastic. For example:
Today, I was taking a shower at the gym. I exited the shower, and the entire locker room was full of steam. I preceded to walk to the mirror, only to read "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware" written in the steam. MLIA
Okay, well I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so to me, this would make me unbelievably excited. I don't see this as an average day at all. For me, an average day would be something like "Today, I tripped up my stairs. MLIA." I suppose, though, that I'm really easily amused, so life's little funnies seem to get me. Like today. I went to Starbucks with my roommate, only having $4 in my pocket, so I knew that I wouldn't really be able to get a drink after tax. My roommate offered to buy my drink, which was no big deal, since we do things like that for each other all the time. I couldn't decide what I wanted, and I have talked to the barista working the register before, so I told him he would decide. He made me a peppermint white mocha, ensuring me that it would "taste like Christmas." I'm a huge fan of Christmas, so I enthusically accepted my drink. When my roommate went to pay, he told us our total was $3.49 (for two mixed Starbucks drinks...clearly only the price of one), giving us a big smile. I tasted my free drink, and sure enough it did taste like Christmas! I was so happy, I gave the barista a high-five and a $3 tip. I don't think this was an average day at all--it was a great day!
So my advice: Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the little things in life. Don't think of them as average. Instead, the small gifts life gives you should be treasures!
