The first and last time I was on a skateboard I landed on my butt after two seconds of attempting to skate.

As classes are coming to their final weeks I notice that I’m eating less and less. I’ve gone from making oatmeal or eggs for breakfast straight to skipping the most important meal of the day altogether.

Medical care is something of a joke in Indian Country.
If you need medical assistance from Indian Health Services you can expect to wait hours and hours only to be given some aspirin for the pain, and antibiotics so you don’t die of infection.
This is why I always laugh when my mom tells me to go to the clinic when we have Tylenol in the bathroom.

I’m pretty sure the creator gave us thumbs to play video games. Every mother would argue against it but how else can you explain the ability to hold down R1, toggle left while hitting the X and O button all at the same time?
About 72 percent of Americans know what I’m talking about since that’s the percent of households that play video games according to Entertainment Software Association.

Spring weather in Wyoming and I’ve even found here in Montana, is random. One minute it will be nice and sunny, the next it’s snowing. But for those fleeting windows of time when the sun is demanding an afternoon nap and the grass is a welcoming bed, spring weather in the Rockies is beautiful.
