So, you may be wondering why my week was so shitty:

1.) I washed my phone on Tuesday. Yes, I put my phone through the washing machine. I am smart.

2.) My douche boyfriend of 3 hours did what I explicitly told him not to do on Friday.

3.) And yesterday, I was in an accident where the car I was in:

-Slid on black ice
-Swerved off the road
-Rolled over twice (atleast)
-Had the front windshield smashed in
-Had the back windshield crumble off
-Had the luggage rack ontop rip off into the snow
-had chips of glass all over the car

Needless to say, it was a very, very frightening experience. We (my two friends and I) had chips of glass all over our clothing and my ice cream in my cup holder– on the ceiling.

But the three things that I can be grateful for are:

1.) All three of us walked out of the car accident with, literally, small scratches. As soon as we crashed, two cars stopped and asked us if we were alright, saying that “that looked absolutely terrible. It was incredible that we escaped death, but even more incredible that we escaped any type of injury.” And it really is incredible that we are all completely fine.

2.) My phone is a tough cookie, and even after being submerged in water for 27 minutes, it still works. It just doesn’t ring anymore, and the display is all messed up. Atleast it is not completely dead? Yep.

3.) The three of us also made it back to Ames safely.

**When the Weather Channel tells you not to drive, you probably shouldn’t**

I’ll post pictures of the car up soon.

Love,

Rachel
