OKAY IT’S NOT A ROOF, BUT A MOUNTAIN IS WAY COOLER, OKAY?

7. go to a coffee shop and strike up a conversation with a random stranger for 5-10 minutes.

meet luke! he’s a really cool guy i met a few days ago at LUX. super nerd, socially awkward, and loves bad puns.

12. find a 24 hour food place and go there in the middle of the night with someone, and only get really bad coffee.

kerby lane for the win. the coffee wasn’t that bad though. but still counts!

44. do something others would consider completely out of character for you.

yes. i attended a country music concert. in texas.

now, before you judge, there’s a few things you should know:

1. the tickets were free. my friend matt’s dad works for a country radio station.

2. i had been in class ALL DAY and it was a thursday night, nothing to do. i needed to get out of the apartment.

-and most importantly-

3. we drank almost a full bottle of columbian liquor between the four of us, making the evening all the more entertaining.

there were cowboy hats everywhere. and i learned that life in the south is all about: whiskey, pick up trucks, that “texas country girl” that broke your heart, and more whiskey.

9. join the public library.

LOOK AT HOW COOL THEIR LIBRARY CARDS ARE.

40. spend 24 hours away from your apartment.

Technically I spent more than that, but the first 24 hours were spent like this:
5:45 AM - 2:45 PM — Drive to work, work at Grinders
2:45 PM - 4:30 PM — Deposit checks, pick up some things at Walgreens, drive to Carefree
4:30 PM - 5:45 PM — Sleep on Stefan’s couch 
5:45 PM - 9:00 PM — Listen to Stefan and Johnny play the Korg Monopoly 
9:00 PM - 5:45 AM — Drive to Santa Fe, check into a hotel
5:45 AM - 6:00 AM — Fall asleep at the hotel

The picture above is Stefan at the venue in Santa Fe. That’s the closest picture I have to that 24 hours.

35. write a grandiose letter and leave it in a library book.

written on a typewriter and everything. it really is a rather long letter. and now it is buried in the endless shelves of books at the UT library!

30. find a wild fruit tree or vegetable plant and pick something from it.

Baby limes!

Thank you ASU.

15. find a legitimate object you’ll use on the free section of craigslist. [allowed to use a car/bus/someone’s back to help transport.]

Seriously, I’m so excited about this. Go garage sales/curb alerts!

10. bake vegan cookies/cupcakes/whatever and give them away to people? [like maybe neighbors, your roommate, people on the street?]

jess is going to love me when she gets home. my neighbors certainly enjoyed some.

and i did too.
