Nineteen things I’ve learned before I turned nineteen. 1. Always carry $5 and a lighter with you (even if you don’t smoke). 2. Ask every person you meet how their day is going. Genuinely ask with the soul intention of learning how their day is. Ask the coffee shop employee. Ask the person next to you in line at Walmart. Ask your distant friend. Ask everyone. 3. Take many photos of yourself. Take photos of yourself when you’re happy. Take photos of yourself when you’re sad. Take photos of yourself because there are millions of trees in the world, and we all look at the same sky, but there is only one of you. 4. Stay in contact with your parents. Try not to hate them. They are the reason you have the ability to feel anything at all. Try not to hate your parents. 5. Opening your skin will not set your demons free. Open your heart. Open your mind. Open your hands. 6. Nobody knows anybody completely. That’s okay. 7. Be gentle, but be aggressive. Take a stand. Nobody hears your voice if you stay silent. 8. Respect everybody. We are all humans trying to survive. We all deserve respect. 9. Wearing black will ALWAYS make you feel better about yourself. 10. Always give tips, whether it be a couple extra dollars or a piece of mind. You never know how much you could be helping someone. 11. Change is the only thing consistent in life. Do not allow that bother you. Embrace chance and move with life, whichever direction it chooses to take you. 12. Smile often. Smile at strangers. Smile at your friends. Smile when nobody is looking and you’re alone in your bedroom. Smile when somebody is rambling to you. 13. Body image means nothing. Your body is merely just a seatbelt in the car. Your body is here to protect you. You choose the direction you go, and your body will not hold you back. Only you can hold yourself back. 14. Don’t hold grudges. Don’t allow yourself to hate anybody. Forgive them. Learn to love them for the person you never got to see them to be. Believe that a beautiful human exists in that person. Wish them well. 15. Drink orange juice. Lot’s of it. 16. Don’t allow the opinions of others to choose your destiny. We are all simply trying to live our own life. 17. Sing all the time. Sing off key. Sing in a silly voice. Sing like you’re on stage. Sing no matter who is around. Singing is breathing for the soul. Sing. 18. Take time to think. Write your feelings down. Write letters to the people you love. Texting is overrated and not as heartfelt as a nice handwritten letter. 19. Live for yourself. Breathe for yourself. Do everything in your life for nobody but you. This is your life. This is it.

Jourdan and Sherlock are cool.

Ottoman Empire: Proof that everything falls, even cities built for Gods.

Conquistador: A young man, bearing the privilege to slaughter for gold, bathed in blood, bones of the New World.

Treaty of Tordesillas: The ability to halve ones self, to draw a line through the body and tear stretching...

Best moments of KCDC13 International convention:

1. Emily Sharp's reaction to seeing me for the first time in like a week <3 2. When Rebecca Riley wore jeans. What an absolutely remarkable, genuine, and strong human being. 3. In caucusing when Justin Crofoot responded to "what's your favorite key club object" with "Um... The gavel..." :) 4. Having all three of our candidates make it past nominating conference! 5. Leading a successful workshop! 6. Taking a whole bag of candy from Hershey's and asking them, "So, are we supposed to run and then eat the candy or eat the candy and then run?" 7. Dancing the night away with my new BFF Wyoming, Bradley! 8. Recapturing a lost friendship with Zac, balling our eyes out, and having the international president walk in on us. 9. Two girls from RMD won the most prestigious key club ASU scholarship. Nobody in our district has every heard of them. 10. The "hypnotist" didn't hypnotize anyone but we were thoroughly entertained by the sign language translator during the beat-boxing talent act. 11. Meeting Marc Chen. 12. Zac and I: yeah. We could do the comedy version of this. 13. Seeing Avery and Casey become International Trustees! What a remarkable event! I'm so glad I was able to go! It was a great way to end my key club year and I will miss all of the people dearly. The thing that I've realized is that key club itself is just the name of an organization with staff that maintain the twitter, copyrighted logos, etc, but the people are truly what make it so incredible and such a passion of mine. The people I've met in this adventure have taught me a lot about myself and have become my lifelong friends. Key clubbers mean absolutely everything to me.

Key Club International Convention

Look at all the Key Club Love going on at this workshop :) Thanks to all who came!

[julianarose57]

I loved co-leading this workshop with my best friend!

[julianarose57]

I made this during my term because I felt like we needed a phrase to describe how incredible a service club can be.

When you decide carry on your shoulders the role of a leader, know what you’re getting yourself into.

People are going to be judging every single action you take so yes, everything you do or don’t do is noticeable.

People will look up to you, for inspiration, advice, and possibly a shoulder...

[julianarose57]

I know some leaders out there who could benefit from this advice.
