Nineteen Years and Counting...?

So today is my birthday. Nineteen seems like sort of a "blah" year. I feel like not a lot of cool things happen when you're 19 except that you're one year closer to 21, but that's totally fine with me. 19 seems like an odd place to be, though. The only thing that I can think of that has anything to do with being nineteen is the show "19 Kids and Counting" (hence the title of this post). So, I guess you could say I've Duggar-ed my way through life up until this point. So what I'm going to do for this blog is chronicle all of the important events in my life up until now, and maybe you'll come to understand just why I'm such an odd duck.

1. I was born. I would say that this would be the most monumental and important thing yet. Without the event of my birth, I don't know where I would be. August 15, 1991. 7 pounds 11 ounces, fly as a mofo. That's all I have to say about that.

2. I don't remember anything really up until about 2nd grade. My best friend's name was Loren, and she and I thought we were sisters. How sweet, right? Loren's black. We were intelligent.

3. I realized I was white and that LL Cool J was not my father.

4. My fat ass got stuck on playground equipment at the ripe old age of 7. I wore skorts and vividly remember being chased halfway across the world (read: playground) by a bumblebee. I was convinced it was because of the sunflower embroidery on my denim dress and, honestly, that still seems pretty plausible in my mind.

5. I transferred elementary schools and had to cultivate my popularity (yeahhh, right) once again. I started a band with 4 or 5 girls that I later would never speak to again. We wrote songs based on each holiday. Valentine's was my favorite, I think.

6. Middle school. I was super unfortunate, and would really rather not talk about this dark time in my life. Braces, boys, and bad skin. I'm not about that.

7. Got my first kiss the summer before my freshman year. Suuuuuper awkward. His name was Jesse and he left the next day for New York....where he lived. You know what TaySwift says: "When you're 15....you're an idiot".

8. High School came and went pretty quickly, thank the dear Lord baby Jesus. I joined theatre, never got a single lead, changed gender a couple times, and all around had a great time. I got my car towed for the first and (knock on wood) last time. It was all, gravy baby.

9. Went to Texas Tech and my life started. Pledge a service sorority, and ended up having an incredible first year. Made some awesome friends, went to some awesome parties , and just soaked up everyone's awesomeness (please get the "Mean Girls" reference).

Anyway, that's about it. I guess I'll just keep Duggar-ing for a while. Thank you guys for reading today!

Love,

Sydney
