Mushy Thankful post

Thursday November 24th was Thanksgiving here in the United States, and while I got ready to greet all of the guests that would descend upon my home, I thought about what I was thankful for. As a lot of people do every year. I know I have been writing more list-posts than usual, but I hope you don't mind that this one is another!

        Adventures. I am so thankful that I have been able to go on so many adventures this year. Skydiving was probably my favorite thing this year! And I cannot wait to go on more! 

Wisconsin



         Family. Duh, that's a given. They're lovely, they really are. 


        My roommate. That's a big difference from last years posts isn't it? Last year, my roommate was awful. But we all have one at some point in our lives. This year, she's just great. One of the nicest people i have ever met. We won't be roommates next year and that makes me extremely sad. But she'll be in France while I'll be in England, and maybe we'll wave across the English Channel or something. 



       England. Because they're letting me study abroad in the country, and I have been wanting to do this since I was in the sixth grade. I am too excited. 


United Kingdom

       Readers. Of course, I'm thankful that people actually come onto this blog, and some even subscribe and keep up on other social medias like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. That is just amazing, also can we appreciate the fact that there are people from all over the world?! That really blows my mind!

I know not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, but I thought I would just share my thankful list with you all this year! Christmas is coming up, and while I don't like cold weather I am so excited! It's my favorite holiday! 

Thanks for reading as always!

A New Adventure; And turning One!

1:39:00 PM


I know I said I would throw in a few posts as well as the travel posts but life happened, and I honestly became too busy for my own good. I snatched up a second job, learned I was moving at the end of the month (the 24th), and I had a little over a week to pack. It was quite stressful, and scary because I had made so many great friends in the past few months because of work that I didn't want to leave them. But I also didn't want to fall further behind in school so here I am. In a new room. With a roommate. And yes I did bring my goldfish with me. 
  But even though being in a new town is scary when you leave the old...it's exciting once you get there. And I'm really excited to share all of it with each of you. Also, on January 24th was the 1st birthday of Behindhazeleyes! And I just wanted to take a quick second to thank you. Like actually truly thank you. Because I never thought (and I know this is cliche) but I really didn't think people would read it..at least not from 37 different countries, multiple times. 
   I know this post was a bit wordy and I'm sorry, I have a picture post coming up and a lot less..wordy ones as well! 

I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Social Media

1:00:00 PM


 This video popped up in my newsfeed on Facebook the other day. 
It made me think. 
Though this thought hasn't crossed my mind it made me consider it longer. 
The video I'm talking about is "Can We Auto-Correct Humanity?" by Prince Ea. 
It was posted on Youtube on September 29th, so it's new and you may or may not have seen it yet. 
It hits the nail on the head, social media is so...unsocial.
Friends go out to meals and check their phones every two seconds. You're friends are sitting right in front of you, who are you waiting to hear from? 
That band you get twitter updates from, is that so much more important than enjoying a moment? 
If you don't know about the video I'm talking about, it's this one. 

After watching the video it does make you think. At least, that's the point of it. Have you ever gone out with friends and all they're doing is updating twitter, and instagram and snap-chatting the fact that you're all together? 
It's nice. Let me tell you.
To just put the phone down, close the computer and go outside. Just alone, with or without someone. Just have a heart to heart talk, or enjoy the sunshine.
Because you will never be this age again. 
Today is not the same as yesterday and it will not be the same as tomorrow.
So why don't you just log off for a moment? 
This video was well worth a watch. There are so many people, at least that I see that don't know how to communicate and don't know what to do when they have to turn their phone off or even when it breaks that they just freak out and have a panic about it. Whoever is texting you is still going to be there. People don't like talking on the phone (like me) because it's so much easier to text (and you don't get that awkward pause if you're doing something while they're talking). 
Let's all try something. Put the phone down and close the laptop just...
Go outside! It's really fun out there!
Trust me. 
Even for like...an hour or two!

What did you think about the video? 
Let me know in the comments!

See you next time!
