I’m going to do my “what I learned” a day early, because I enjoy posting random videos and I don’t really want to be tied down to a specific topic. I doubt anyone will mind. Continue reading “[Day 59] Month Two In Retrospect”

[Day 54] If you’re cute, you’ll rate
Dear Tyler Oakley,
Today, you relinked to your video about National Coming Out Day 2008. I’ve been subscribed to you on YouTube for about a year and following you on Twitter for several months, and I’ve always loved your content, but today I really felt a difference. I’d seen that video before, having watched all your videos at one point or another, but seeing it again after a such a long time seemed like a new experience. You’ve been known to make me laugh and make me consider different viewpoints, and today took that to a new level. Continue reading “[Day 54] If you’re cute, you’ll rate”
[Day 53] Can’t you be with me?
[Day 47] I can do math!
Dear Natalie Tran,
I don’t remember exactly when I first started watching your videos, but let me tell you, it was a day that changed my life forever. My parents have actually threatened to take my computer away from me because I spent more time watching your videos over and over again than I do anything else. While you were away doing your short film for school (I follow you on Twitter as well) I hid my sadness by watching all of your videos… again. Continue reading “[Day 47] I can do math!”

[Day 44] It’s Cold
Unassertive people. We all know them, even if we don’t talk to them. But they’re there. In the corners of the library, in the back of classrooms, or sitting alone in the center of the cafeteria. They pretend not to care, but they do. Continue reading “[Day 44] It’s Cold”
[Day 41] Morgan stop pressing the keyboardq
What did you do for fun back in elementary school? From what I remember, most kids played four-square, tag, or just climbed around like monkeys on the playground equipment. There is one common theme among these games that might not be evident at first, but try and think of it. I’ll wait. What’s that? Oh, you give up? Don’t worry, it’s perfectly natural. I would have given up too. Continue reading “[Day 41] Morgan stop pressing the keyboardq”
[Day 34] Why you gotta act like you know when you don’t know?
By the beginning of 7th grade, I had grown bored with myself. After walking the track around the football field for almost all of my first year of middle school, I’d run out of interesting things to discuss. There was only so much to be said about basketball, language arts, and fantasy books, especially when the only contributor in such conversations only had one perspective. The lonely perspective. Continue reading “[Day 34] Why you gotta act like you know when you don’t know?”
[Day 33] It’s thundering right now :)
Dear Sam (last name removed to protect the innocent),
Usually I start off my letters with a brief description of who I am, but you already know who I am, so we’ll skip that step. On August 19th of this year, I started a year-long blog project entitled “365 Days of Bri†to rediscover myself. I’ll add the details at the end of this letter, but for now I’ll just explain your part. Every day of the week I have a different task to do, at once I’ve completed it I have to write about the experience in the blog. On Sundays like today, my task is to write a thank you letter to someone I’ve never met. Continue reading “[Day 33] It’s thundering right now :)”
[Day 31] Just don’t play Twister with her
The more I think about my friends, the more I realize why they’re so diverse. It’s because each one represents a different side of my personality. Rachel represents the writer and loyal friend in me. Craig represents the crazy and political side of me. Bart represents the callous but caring side of me. Kelli represents the slightly insane but introspective side of me. With this in mind, I guess Mia would represent the competitive side of me. Continue reading “[Day 31] Just don’t play Twister with her”
