Red Light!

Sitting upstairs in Maybee Center around several friends, (okay so four of them) doing homework, (well maybe two people are) and typing up this blog ( I AM DOING THAT!!! :D )! That is what my evening has consisted of, since like 9. So for a whole 40 or so minutes I have been up here. But it's all good. Because every once in a while people need a space to just be. Yeah, to be. So much of the time people are rushing to do this and that, and to go to class to the dorms to practice to shop to whatever. And so little through out our lives do we actually  stop.






I am not going to lie... I was thinking of ending my blog right there as a point but then decided that, that wasn't good enough. Because the truth is, people so much of the time forget how to take time for themselves to breathe, smile, laugh, and even sometimes in this crazy world of ours, sleep. So now as I sit atop of the Maybee Center thinking of all I did today (including Laundry and hanging at the Corley home, oh and School) I just have to smile. And smile again. Because today was a good day.

Stop, collaborate and LISTEN.... so stop.     :)

Crazy Beautiful Life

Through thick and thin, good times and bad, I must admit my life is almost a Ke$ha song. Take away the explicative, provocative and hard core partying stuff and BAM my life, right there!  But at the same time, "Life's what you make it so let's make it rock!" Once again I find myself looking at music and thinking hey, this totally applies to my life! Sometimes, artists even when they are Hannah Montana, have lyrics that make me say WHOOT my life right there!

But as for now, I must admit I am living Crazy Beautiful Life. At least the title. Because truly I have a wonderful life! I have awesome friends, a fantastic family and I am absolutely loving life! I am blessed beyond what I deserve, and am grateful for the life I have. I have fun, but not the kind of fun that I can't remember the next day or regret the next morning. I have fun that I can look back on and smile.

And ultimately when my life starts to look a little less than beautiful, I think of another song later, thank you Disney channel for giving me Hannah Montana and allowing me to realize that life is what I make of it, I choose to look on life with a smile or a frown. And even if my prediction on the day may end up being far off, I usually can start the day off right if I just prepare myself. I love life. It's wonderful!

EXCITEMENT!

I am excited! I know this might not seem very unusual or very rare to some people but I can say that I am legitimately excited for the first time in a while. Though I won't go into detail about all the reasons I am excited just know it's all good. I am excited for being able to live life a little more without hearing a love song on the radio, seeing valentines cards and all of a sudden start to feel down and disappointed and what not. I am excited for living again, and I am excited for getting to experience the life that I need and should live!

I must admit that I look forward to this week, and I know that there may be some ups and downs that come along but my seat belt is securely fastened and I am ready for the ride!

I am not afraid, of what may come my way. Even though I am not fully prepared I am willing to strap on my boots and and begin my journey. Ready, set Go forth and live as if I have never lived before!

Happy Snow Week, it's something beautiful!

And once again the snow falls down, and it seems to make everything better. Now, even though I didn't spend that much time in the snow this week, it was good for it to come. For one thing I only went to a total of four classes this week and for another thing, I got to spend time with a few wonderful people. And for some reason it's always a refreshing for the spirit, mind and all that jazz!

So on Monday, without a doubt I had a rough start to the week thanks to a freak out dream and a freak out morning. However the day slowly started to calm down and the week without a doubt got better, because it snowed! SNOW, I don't know how God does it but every time he sends us snow he makes my soul less freaked out. And it's amazing. It gives me hope that eventually, everything will be okay in my mind and heart.

To make it even better this weekend will be grand, more time with friends, going to Midtown, Gilmore Girls, and I got to hear a recording of my little brother singing "Something Beautiful", and every time I hear him it makes me smile!


So happy snow week! Hope it's something beautiful!

Greek???

So tonight I was invited from a couple of fantastic ladies to come and join them in Veda lobby to merely eat sweets, and play games. Needless to say, it was such a blast! However it leads me to question, "Is this something I want to be apart of my college life?" Now don't get me wrong I haven't been on the Greek band wagon very long. But I have known for a while that if I were to join a sorority it would be one that wouldn't be a stereotypical sorority. One where the ladies aren't afraid to be unique, different and themselves. That was a big part of what allowed Zeta to remain in my line of vision, because they don't fit stereotypes, they aren't afraid to be themselves, to have fun, to live and love.

I honestly don't know what will happen on the night of the grand ole Rush, but I do know for sure, that I am taking at least a step or two closer to the front doors of the Zeta life.

Baby You're A Firework!

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag floating through the wind wanting to start again?"
Tonight I tribute this blog to the guys in my life, that have been there forever no matter how many times I've checked to make sure they were really related to me. For some reason, Fireworks by Katy Perry popped into my head and the people I think of first and foremost when I hear that song has to be my brothers thanks to the vacation this Christmas break. I am proud to a say though that unlike the vacation a few years ago, I liked the artist and song this time. When we went to Italy all the boys would ever sing would be their rendition of Love Story by Taylor Swift (UGH), however they would often times throw a unicorn in the mix.

So, I really don't know what all is going to go into this specific blog but I do know that it is about my brothers. And the truth is no matter how much we may disagree, especially when they start worshiping T. Swift, much against my demise, that I truly love my brothers. Though I am really good at yelling and arguing at them and crying because I am a woos compared to them, I love them to pieces. And even when times aren't so cheery, or when I am extremely grumpy I am proud to call them my brothers.

So here's to family and here's to more disagreements, fights, singing, laughing and gambling with sorry pieces! Love you guys!

Milestone 1

Going hand in hand with writing this blog becomes milestones. And today is the very first milestone for this blog.... I have officially finished blogging for a complete month! A whole entire month, every single day, from start to finish and I am proud of it too! So there might have been some blogs noteworthy and other blogs on the brink of a failing grade from a junior high teacher but still, writing every single stinking day for a whole month is crazy!

The thing about blogging is it's pretty much my own diary being published for all to see. So looking back on blogs just a month ago can truly be kind of cool. It's amazing to be able to say, hey at the start of the New Year I was optimistic for whatever was going to come my way. And even the days such as the day I posted a blog about speech and debate, it's kinda funny to see the days that I was really not wanting to blog, whether apathy, not wanting to disclose information or whatnot. Having the capability to look back on what I said is actually intriguing, a little sad, a little happy but nonetheless interesting.

So here goes for a second month, followed, by a third, followed by a fourth, etc., etc., etc.
