Last night some of my sweet dear college friends and I had a "hair party" and watched home alone 2. All this consisted of was straightening or curling people's hair, braiding hair, oohing and aahing over awesome styles and of course laughing at Kevin McAllister. The best part obviously was being with friends and having a great time and spending zero money. The worst part however is knowing that in just four days this won't happen anymore as I will then be living in Knoxville again.
Today I wake up and my fan that I always sleep with on is obviously not on. I get up and much to my surprise the power is out. So here we go with bed head, now no lights, heat, nothing.. What a way to start the day. Mind you my roommate has a huge final she is trying to study for. So what do we do laugh and accomplish nothing about whining how it's cold outside and what are we going to wear so we don't freeze to death. Thankfully the power came on just long enough to straighten out the crazy bed head, and we were both able to find outfits to keep us perfectly warm on this cold day.
As we were sitting in the dark this morning I couldn't help but think how incredibly blessed we are to have electricity on a daily basis, and how we are so dependent on electricity we had no idea what to do without it this morning. No lights, no heat, no hot water, no wifi, and still complete joy was present in Burchett 104.
This morning I learned whatever the situation whether it be a hair party or lack of power there is always something to bring you joy this Christmas Season.
