Cliches

I've been doing this weird thing lately where I've been thinking in quotable cliches. You know, the ones on the posters plastered on elementary classroom walls.

(I would find you an picture, but a quick google image search reveals that they have all been taken over my memes. My childhood is sullied.)

Anyway, so I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and say to myself, "Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss you'll end up in the stars."

I MEAN IT'S JUST SO APPLICABLE to grad school! And like, inspiring! Shooting for the moon! Ending up in the stars!

Then I'm pipetting at the bench at work and I'm just like, "Tech life--all the guts and none of the glory". Which is also true.




Then I'm sitting around on my computer at work and I'm reminded of a Sarah Dessen quote that says, "Life is an awful, ugly place not to have a best friend." Which is very very true and all, but I think what she really meant to write was, "Life is an awful, ugly place when your best friend is not on gchat."





And scene.
