Fun

I like to have fun. Who doesn't? Fun is something that provides amusement. I am one who is amused by the simplest of things. Anything from a simple card game, to an outdoor sport, I find enjoyment.

Some of my favorite things to do for fun include sewing, reading, singing karaoke on Youtube, stacking toilet paper at the Dollar General, waving at strangers on the interstate, writing cheesy poems that never get read by anyone but me, trying on clothes that are too overpriced, taking silly pictures with friends showing just how crazy we are, playing Apples to Apples, cleaning my room just for the satisfaction of accomplishing something, and playing games at Chuck E. Cheese for countless hours. Yeah, I know, I'm weird.

Very few of these are done alone. Many friends and family come into play with the word "fun." In my opinion, fun is better shared. To share memories and inside jokes, is one of many things that keep my friends and I close. No matter how often I am with a friend of mine, the fun never ends.

Fun can be established anywhere. My "fun" list contains actions held in various places. And even as boring school can be, there is hardly a day at school where I don't experience a spark of fun. Lunch table conversations are usually anything but boring.

I tend to laugh and poke fun at myself on a daily basis. I'm very clumsy so I often fall and trip over things. I also make myself look pretty dumb constantly. Usually when I fall, trip, etc., all I know to do is laugh with the ones laughing at me. When I say something stupid, I realize my blunder and I of course laugh at myself. Perfection is not in my list of fun things. Being imperfect is what makes me human and what makes life enjoyable.

I think that some people don't have fun and don't have days that they enjoy, simply because they don't expect or seek fun. I think if you seek fun, you're going to have fun. Fun is happiness. Therefore, I think the world be a brighter place if everyone would seek fun and try to enjoy life. Do yourself a favor, live live to its fullest. Enjoy life while you've got it. And never forget to thank God for the life He's given you.



"Live life fully while you're here
. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human."
-Anthony Robbins

  1. Haha Sarah. You think you're clumsy...just you wait. I trip over everything: phone cords, stacks of newspapers, and I have flipped back in my chair in what felt like slow motion. I got a class wide clap for that one. Remember, I can't even rip a piece of paper. I trip over air. I am willing to bet that I am clumsier that you.
