“The world is not a wish granting factory.”
Augustus Waters- Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Augustus said this to Hazel when they were talking about her and her cancer. Augustus told Hazel this, because she wanted him to stay alive, but she also wanted to speak with the author of her favorite book, before she passed on. He tried to tell her that she couldn’t get everything she wanted, but then he gave her his wish from Make-A-Wish foundation, so she could fulfill both wishes. Even though both of her wishes came true, that doesn’t mean that yours will always come true.

This is my favorite quote from Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I love this quote, because it helps me know that even the wishes you want more than anything, don’t always come true. You might come really close to making that wish come true. But, as Augustus Waters said ” The world is not a wish granting factory.” From reading this quote and the book I learned that you don’t always get what you want. Even if you work really, really hard, you won’t always get it, but you might learn something about yourself, and you might find something better.

P.Terry’s

Need a place to get a nice juicy, cheesy, grilled burger with a side of crispy, greasy, crunchy fries and a rich chocolate shake to go with it? I know a very friendly place to hang out with friends. P.Terry’s is my favorite place to eat a burger on the weekend.

As I look up, I see the bright, white, crystal lights dangling from the bright blue ceiling. Then as I look around, I see juice slowly trickling from freshly cooked burgers that have just come off the nice hot cook top. Then as I close my eyes and listen to the sounds, I hear the fizzing of the soda squirting out of the soda machine. I also hear the sizzling of the freshly pounded meat patties hitting the hot, burning cook top. As I sniff through my nose, I smell the newly chopped potatoes plopping into the oil as they begin to fry into nice crunchy, salty fries.

P.Terry’s is for everyone and it has something that everyone will enjoy. For example, if you are a vegetarian, then you can have a brown rice patty. You also don’t have to use a bun if you are doing the low-carb thing. You can substitute the bun with crispy lettuce. Also, if you have a pet dog, they have dog treats so the dogs wont feel left out after smelling the juicy burgers in the drive thru. Even if you are a little kid, there is a nice sand box outside where you can play. Lastly, if you have a little sweet tooth they have great choices for you to choose from like, a rich creamy milkshake or a big melt in your hand chocolate chip cookie. I highly recommend them.

P.Terry’s also has many different locations. Of course we have the one in Westlake where you can drive thru and grab a bite between activities. The first one I ever visited with my big sister is on Lamar and we sat at the picnic tables outside. I have also been to one near my dad’s office that is right off the freeway. He sometimes brings me dinner from there after dance class. Another one I have been to is down south near Costco. Which ever one you pick, they are all great!
P.Terry’s is a very friendly place and a great place to get a burger. Therefore that is why it’s one of my favorite places in Austin to stop for a bite to eat.
