***warning, this post will probably just consist of a lot of rambling, and some of the following may be things that aren't actually hobbies, i just felt like writing about them***

hobby # 1
once upon a time my roommate...ex (sigh) roommate... and i decided: we have to hike the y.  because apparently that's just a thing. like, you have to do it. (okay, okay, this decision was made like, a year ago...but...)
so we hiked it. 
so super fast and we didn't even have to take any breaks because it was such an easy hike. 

the couple behind us didn't even start after us and finish before us.
they didn't even give us pitiful looks and/or sarcastic remarks when they passed us.
well you know what !? we were enjoying the view and we are actually allowed to go slow if we want to okay !?
but hey. it was a succesful hike.
you know, once we finally found the mountain.
 
hobby # 2
speaking in a terrible french accent is so liberating sometimes.

hobby # 3
less of a hobby and more of a habit : i've been having a really hard time keeping french and english separate.

like : englishenglishenglishohmerdefrancaisenglishenglish.

also i've started using the word ameliorate. because it's basically just like the french word améliorer. and i feel so nice and sneaky when i use it, because its almost like speaking french that english people can understand. whaaaaaaat.

hobby # 4
did you know the boucher family is actually professional at taking family selfies ? my 11 year old brother is a little bit selfie obsessed and it scares me. we've created a monster...


hobby # 5
i can touch my tongue to my nose, and if you want to hear an embarrassing good story, just ask me how i acquired this skill, some time.


hobby # 6
i really like to send reallysuperrandom texts to people. mostly my (ex) roommates. and my mom. because they don't judge me. or they probably do, but they deal with it. thanks guys.

i like to read and if you haven't read the fault in our stars go read it because it's amazing and where is my augustus waters, please ? and then go see the movie when it comes out because that looks amazing, too. 

hobby # 13
talking to kassidy about how nice it would be to like, have a social life, and keeping track (still with kassidy) of how long it's been since either of us went on a date.
(over a year. for both of us. woohoo.)

hobby # 14

for real.

life advice.

so i just have some things i want to say.
some "life advice," if you will.
(i'm not actually a life advice expert) (what !? i know.) there are just some things i'd like to casually throw out there.

***the following are in no way guaranteed to actually improve your life...but...***

10 tips for a (more) successful life. 

1. just bring an umbrella.
1. not a cheap one. 
2. do not keep reeses in your warm purse next to your minty gum. 
3. when bedtime fails: naps. naps are good.
4. --->boys: do not try to win over a girl by saying "you're just too awkward. and shy. none of your relationships will ever work out."
•  just don't do it.  
• just. don't. <---

1. if you don't know a fish's name, here is a simple solution: rename it:    (color)    +     (y)    
• for example: pink fish= pinky. 
• it works, i promise.
2. if you're trying not to eat bread or sugar, but really want a treat, this recipe is super delicious.
3. just because you aren't mad at someone, does not mean that you have to talk to them. if they're bringing you down, or just being downright punk-heads...adios.
4. always keep a jacket in your car. 
5. if you see gas for fairly cheap, just. fill. up. because the price might, i dont know, go up 20 cents 2 days later.
6. don't leave the house without headache medicine. or chapstick !
7. when in doubt: go read a book. it just makes you feel good. 
8. its cool... normal... okay to text your old roommates 20 times a day. comic relief.

okay. this is like the shortest blog post in the history of forever... but ! i certainly feel better.
and look: i may not be an expert at life or anything, but i feel like some of that advice was pretty solid.
so.

hasta luego.
