Three Wishes

What would I wish for if a genie appeared out of my water bottle right now and granted me three wishes?
Wish #1: I wish I was an althete. I have always admired athletes. In high school though everyone does some sort of sport though. And the athletes who are put in the spotlight always seems to think that they are God's gift to the school. But here at college it's different. I mean if you are an athlete you are dedicated. You put so much effort and time, sweat and blood into your "game." There is so much I see in athletes that I think is good. Self- discipline. Strength. Endurance. Life lessons. If I could go back and change something, I would find a sport that I love and was willing to work for and really work for it. I did have one chance that I wasn't able to really follow, partly because I didn't have much support from family and partly because I didn't have the means to do so. There is also something about knowing that you have a habit of health that you will probably keep for the rest of your life, while you can also focus on school and a career you love. I wish I was a swimmer.
Wish #2: I wish I could heal the world. Everyone is like "oh I want world peace" and I'm sure most of them really do. But do they want to work for it? Give me the means (knowledge, money, influence) and I will go to Africa, Asia, Central and South America to help those who need the medical knowledge that we have. There are so many sick, hurting people who will never get the chance that they deserve at having a marvelous life! Why would we be so selfish to keep this all to ourselves?
Wish #3: I wish I had a boy. Yeah, yeah, pretty shallow I know. But trust me there are times in your life you just really need someone like that. I love my roommates and I would never undermine how much they help me, but I just need someone right now. I have always had a best guy friend, and right now I feel like I don't. It's hard. I'm not whining. I hate HATE people who complain, but I mean a girl can't hold it in forever. I just want to know if he likes me for more than just a friend! I love being friends with boys, but hey, I think I'm old enough to handle more than that. Ha ha this probably doesn't make much sense. Sorry. It's hard to get my thoughts out into words. Most girls probably know what I mean. Someone who is there all the time. The Best Friend. He makes you laugh. He is so much like you. It seems like he came into your life at the perfect time. Will he see me? Will he see what he means to me? Do I mean the same to him? Guess I'll just have to wait for this wish.
There is no genie. So I guess I'll have to keep pulling wish bones and straw wrappers, wishing on the first star, and wishing at 11:11.

  1. sounds like you want more of the romantic best friend. :) nudge nudge. anything going on with that? no, i know what you mean. having my best friend gone on his mission is super hard. i miss him tons, and then i feel guilty for missing him because he's out there doing what he's supposed to be doing.
