It's alright it's alright it's alright

At this time last year, I was home, I had served jury duty, I was done with my freshman year of College, I was so happy to be home in my city, and I didn't have a job.

Now, I'm done with Sophomore year, which was arguably worse in terms of having classes that I really hated, but 20 times better socially. I will forever love my awesome roommate, who I won't be living with again in the near future, but we'll still hang out all the time. I didn't serve jury duty this summer, but looking back, jury duty is awesome, people. I'm happy to be home, but I still miss Menomonie, and...people. Which I never thought I'd say. And I have a job.

There's like...a lot of days in April. I don't think I'm going to keep going with the 'I Loves' just because I missed so many days. But I did love a lot of things, and still do.

I'll just make a non-descript list of things I love to even things out:

I love diet pop, I love Michael Scott, I love Twitter, I love tumblr, I love David Bowie, I love magazines, I love my parents, I love my cabin, I love riding my bike in the summer, I love my school chums, I love my home chums, I love my phone when it works, I love The Mighty Boosh, and I love my novelty t-shirts.

come on let your colors burst

And this one is a total contradiction to my last post:

32. I love the Christmas-Easter cheesy potatoes.

They were my favorite food growing up. They're really yummy, and I was excited to be able to eat them on Easter, although it took me awhile to work up the courage to eat dairy. I'm going to try to craft a vegan version this summer. We'll see how that turns out..

Who Dat Ninja?

Ugh, I know that I'M the one who set out expectations for this month, but things got away from me, as they often do. It could often be considered a good thing if I'm not blogging, because that means I'm of good mental health. Which I have been these past few weeks. Extremely good mental health.

31. I think my thing for this day was I Love Being Vegan?

This was the day before Easter, and I'm the type of person who does Lent all the way until Easter, so it was my last day of veganism. Although I can tell you that I've eaten some animal products since Lent has been over, I really really enjoyed veganism. I'll probably end up doing it for the rest of my life at some point. I know it's a selfish and lazy attitude to be like "I'll get around to doing it at some point, but it's not practical right now." It's actually quite practical, all the time, but I think in order to not drive myself crazy, I'm going to loosen up a little bit at least while I'm still not an official grown-up.

The amount of crap give Vegan diets is just so ridiculous and unjust. Have these people ever TRIED living vegan? It's wonderful, and you feel so much better all the time (you obviously have to be smart about it), but people cry if you take away their daily cheeseburger. People can act so entitled to eating animal products and it's just so backwards.

My poor parents are going to have to suffer through their youngest daughters "enlightened socially conscious phase" this summer. But they'll eat black bean burgers if it kills them.
