When you have one of those awful days, no matter how hard you try, everything seems to go wrong. It all starts when you sleep through your alarm in the morning, leaving barely any time to make yourself look decent for school. In the 10 minutes you have to get dressed in a pair of jeans, a tank top and a purple cardigan, put on your new navy eyeliner, and stop your hair from frizzing out like in some creepy horror movie, you are constantly thinking about how everyone at school might judge you. You are also left with only one minute to eat breakfast. Now, how am I supposed to go through my day without eating a full breakfast?! At this rate I’ll be starving by second period, and I’m not allowed to eat during class.
Anyway, on my way to school, I realize I left my daily planner in my room along with the novel I have to write an essay about four hours from now. Oh, and there is bumper-to-bumper traffic on the highway. So, skipping all of this nonsense and moving on to how I stepped on some gum and tripped on the staircase in front of a guy I have been crushing for a couple of years now, I feel nauseous. My face gets as red as the lipstick my mom wears to holiday parties, and I feel like I’m about to burst out into tears. Not only from this embarrassing accident but from a mix of everything that has built up to make my emotions overflow.
Why does it seem like when one thing goes wrong, the whole day becomes a disaster? All I want to do is go home, watch a good movie in my comfy pajamas, and eat chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk. When I finally get home after such a tragic day, I get a text message from a cute guy I went to summer camp with, saying he’d love to see me and catch up. Sometimes when everything seems to go wrong, the littlest messages from old friends (or crushes) make everything better.
