Dear Journal,
So the world was supposed to end today.
Well, no zombies, black holes, or robots taking over the world. I guess we’re good now. Sooooo… what do we do? We weren’t planning on going Christmas shopping, or doing any of our school projects over the break. Better get started since we still have our whole lives ahead of us. Now we have to face all the people that we told we hated…or the ones that we told we were in love with. Guess all of those “End of the World” parties we weren’t invited to were totally bogus. But we already knew that. And don’t even get us started on all those pointless Twitter updates. Ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat.
Oh, and shout out to the Mayans who predicted this. WAY TO GO WITH THE CALENDER. It’s not a big deal or anything that the whole world said their last goodbyes only to come to the realization that we are totally still here, sitting behind a computer, reading all the Twitter posts, and reevaluating every myth in the history of the world.
But seriously, did anyone really believe the end of the world was upon us? Because that television show “Doomsday Preppers” did a pretty good job of making us think the apocalypse was approaching. Gullible, are we right?
So what have we learned from this “traumatic” experience? To value friendship, cherish family, and rule number two, “Enjoy the little things.” YOLO.
