Sometimes I get depressed because...

...I've never done the impossible. You know, like, I never donated my feet to footless children in Malaysia and then run a marathon in record time for colon cancer survivors (without my feet, of course). If I did, I'd have a book deal AND Oprah and I would be better friends than we are right now. No, I haven't done anything that spectacular.

That's really not a good reason for depression. If I were actually depressed about my lack of Olympic Gold Medals or Nobel Peace Prizes, the fact that I am laying on my couch right now eating Lucky Charms straight from the bag, typing this poorly written blog post would probably send me running off the top of the Tisch Building at NYU.

January, February, and March are the most depressing months of the year. But guess what? It's April now and I'm starting to leave the winter blues behind. I've decided to put away my winter coats even though it's still semi-freezing in NYC. I want you to leave your winter blues at home, locked away with winter coats too SO I've come up with a few reasons why you shouldn't feel so down:

1. Oprah has gained weight lately. She is rich, powerful, and rich. If she can't be thin, don't worry about the few extra pounds you packed on underneath the sweaters you wore all winter.

2. At least you aren't one of the 401 polygamist children from the Yearning for Zion Ranch/Prison in Texas. They don't even know what youtube is!

3. At least you aren't the baby inside that pregnant she-man from Oregon.

4. At least you're not Danny Bonaduce.

5. At least you aren't me, sitting on a couch, eating Lucky Charms.

6. Shai LaBeouf is starring in the next Indiana Jones movie which comes out May 22, 2008. That's less than two months!

7. The Spice Girls are going on tour this year. Seriously. They are.

See, life is good! Enjoy it!

* On a personal note, I found out today that I am graduating from NYU on May 14th as an University Honors Scholar. With honors, baby!

** The two month countdown to my birthday starts today. Get excited! It's going to be a birthday extravaganza. You know why? Because all 22nd birthday's should be extravagant. 21 was cool and all but 22? Now that's where it's at.
