When Life Has Other Plans For You

Everything Happens For A Reason,  a common phrase used to justify or explain and event that usually doesn't turn out the way one would hope.

But why?  When you work so hard and when it doesn't pay off, how is that beneficial in the long run?

It is so hard to have to accept that the Universe has another plan for you, or a different way of getting you to achieve your goal.  Especially when you just want to achieve it and move on. Instead of lengthening the journey you have been courageously and tirelessly traveling on.


Take a break, especially if you have more than enough time to reach your goal, and relax, a little break can clear your mind, and keep you open minded and positive.

For those of you have seen "How I Met Your Mother," you know the character, Ted, and how he is not so secretly in love with his new bestie, Robin.

In my life, I am Ted.
And I have a Robin, but it's a guy (duh).


And no matter what I do, I just cant get over it.
I'll driving my crazy. And I just want it to stop.

I'll never be with him.

A Lesson on Growing Up.

When you are in college it is so easy to still see yourself as a kid., especially your freshman and sophomore year.  However, when you get to become a junior and a senior, thought you may feel like a kid, you are not.

I have learned a valuable lesson recently, one that may cause me to change my life plan.  I am hoping and praying that with a whole hearted explanation I will be able to get a second chance.  I don't know if I will even be able to at this point, but I don't know what I am going to do if I am not given the opportunity to prove myself.
I have this tightness in my chest, that is causing me pain, and my heart beating in my throat.

I am not the same girl I was last night.  Today, at this moment, I am a women.  As scary as it is for me, I know I have no choice.  The time has come for me to grow up.  I'm scared at what the future holds for me, and I can do nothing now but pray that my guardian angel(s) are watching over me, and will be with me every step of the way.

The time has come for me to prove that I can do this.  I can be a teacher.  I made a mistake, and I now have to right the wrong.
I just hope that it will be enough.

DANCE

Be thankful for the morning, and every breath you take. Be thankful for the friends you have, and the friends you've yet to make. Love those close to you with all your heart, stay strong when things feel like they'll fall apart. Have faith in tomorrow, but live for today. Take chances, have fun, even if it means to disobey. Say what you need, because you may not have another chance. And lastly, when you get the opportunity, dance.

Ann Coulter and the R-Word.

I just came across a letter written by a young man with Down syndrome to Ann Coulter about her use of the "R-word." The letter can be found here:
http://specialolympicsblog.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/an-open-letter-to-ann-coulter/

This letter touched me, and brought tears to my eyes, for this young man is so inspirational. I had to write him a letter in response to his.  However, I'm still in the process of finding out how to contact him.  So until then, I'm posting the letter here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Mr. Stephens,
A friend of mine tweeted the link to your letter to Ann with the words “I seriously love this letter and this man. y'all should read this.”  So I clicked the link and read your letter.  I had tears in my eyes.  I commend you to the highest degree for your boldness to stand up for what is right.
                My brother has Autism.  One of my best friend’s younger brother has Autism.  He was the one that got me involved with “Spread the Word to End the Word.”  I am constantly correcting my friends, and colleagues, as well as the students in the classroom I am student teaching in.  I do it instinctively now, it’s like a little radar in my brain goes “beep! beep! beep!” and I politely ask them choose another word.
            I have the best job, I am a PASS worker.  I work with a seven year old boy named Danny, and a seventeen year old girl named Danielle.  They both have Down syndrome.  I do not know many people that get excited to go to work, but I am proud to say that I am one.  I aspire to guide Danny and Danielle to be strong individuals, like you.  You are an inspiration. 
           I’ve shared your letter with my younger sister who is a Special Olympics coach, as well as numerous other family members and friends.  It is people like you, people who stand up for what is right, that make the word a better place.
           If our paths ever cross, expect to receive the biggest hug you could ever imagine! J

I wish you the best in everything you do,
S

My Thoughts/Reflections on "Hooking Up"

First things first, my definition of hooking up does not include sleeping with someone. But sometimes it does.

Okay, so recently some events in my life have caused me to stop and reflect on myself as a person, and my morals.  I joke with my friends saying that "I have no soul," that I am the "Ice Queen" because I don't really have emotions when it comes to guys.. weird, I know, you would think it would be the other way around.

I wasn't always this way.  I used to be the crazy, omg-he-kissed-me-(or texted or whatever)-he-definitely-wants-to-date-me type. Scaring guys away with my tendency to text them too much, or just come on too strong.  However, over the years, I have developed a characteristic that is the complete polar opposite of that girl.  I just don't care anymore.  I meet a guy--and whatever, I am not running to my phone the next day to text them "hiii:)."  In fact, if they do text me, I usually don't even answer.  I'm really a nice person I swear.

What's ironic is, when I do talk to a guy, regardless of if we have hung out before or anything, my caring personality would and is be misinterpreted into being "interested" or "clingy," when all I was doing was asking about your exam you told me you were stressing about... and they say girls are complex... so to solve this problem, I just stopped.  Seriously, I just starting to give zero fucks and said "yolo" a lot; stop judginggg.

So being a soul-less slut (hahah not really, at all) has been working for me.  Only, all my friends have boyfriends and are acting all grown up (vom) a part of me wants to have a steady boyfriend, but another part of me just wants to have fun and continue to not give a shit.
And recently I met a guy I had a freakishly lot in common with, like weird things you would never think you would have in common with anyone.. and I didn't even think about like, it becoming anything until he said "so you know, I'm not looking for anything, I just got out of a relationship..." something along those lines, he really knows how to make a girl feel special (kidding he is really sweet).  My response? "I just met you... it's cool though, don't worry, I have no soul or emotions." or something along those lines..I really have a way with words.  Thinking back on it, I made myself sound like a raging whore.  What I should have/meant to say is "I understand, don't worry, I'm not the clingy, attached type." ..even though that really not much better, but whatever.

I like having fun and not having to care or worry; but at the same time, I want a boyfriend, I want to have that nervous/butterflies in my stomach feeling when I see him, and be able to smile because he's mine.  I want to smile like a thirteen year old girl just got kissed on the cheek by Justin Bieber when I get a text or call from him, and just when I'm with him.  I want to fall in love.

BUTTTTT, until then I'm just gonna continue being reckless and have fun.

YOLO.

Be Your Everything

I'm obsessed with this song because it is my life.
Boys like Girls- Be Your Everything

DEAR ELITE DAILY:

Elite Daily wrote a "Campus Profile" about URI, most of which was hysterically accurate.  However, in the section about sororities the following was written about Chi Omega:
"Chi Omega – this is hands down the worst sorority. Not only are these girls repulsive, but the refuse to party. Do not ever go near Chi O."


The whole article can be found here:

August Brunch with Gram

Thursday, July 12, 2012

and now a collection of ecards that are hysterical, inappropriate and completely relevant to my life, you be the judge as to which is which


 










IF YOU'RE PREGNANT AND YOU KNOW IT.. POST IT ON FACEBOOK?!

Disclaimer: this is probably the most controversial post I will ever post... ever. 


Congratulations! You made it to the age of 20 before getting knocked up! You officially do not fall under the category of "teen mom." GO YOU!  

I understand accidents happen and you have no choice but to take responsibility, but when you plan it? Don't even get me startedddddd.

You and your "man" have been together for almost x amount of years, unless x= 10 and you are considered  to be legally married, you have no business bringing a child into this world.

High School girls: bragging on social media about how you can't wait to be a mommy and blah blah blah... it's unbecoming and just plain stupid.  Enjoy your time as a child, live your life, there are so many things the world holds, exciting things, things that you won't be able to experience because you thought it was a good idea to have a baby.

Girls who have graduated high school: just because you graduated high school, or didn't... and you are over the age of 18, does not mean you are mature enough nor able to have a baby. Yes, babies are wonderful things and becoming a mother I can only imagine is the most beautiful, amazing, great thing ever, but supporting a baby on your six credits from community college and your baby daddy claiming he loves you and will take care of you.   If you believe this, YOU SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A CHILD.

And lastly, DO NOT post facebook statuses seeking out congratulations or sympathy because you have to work while you're pregnant... because the people that are ignorant and stupid enough to fall for it are just ueojdfmobnvmwoejn I have no words.  ALSO, get the pictures out of my newfeed of your baby bumps and what not, I would be embarrassed, actually I would be mortified if I got pregnant and wasn't married..
(again, there are situations when accidents happen, but I'm pro-choice, (don't like it? then see yaaa) and believe that option is also there and should be taken advantage of.)


As I said before, I understand things happen, and yes babies are brought into this world unplanned, but for GOD'S SAKE people, they don't teach us about safe sex in high school for nothing!! 


Maybe this is just my opinion because I am absolutely petrified of growing up.  I am super responsible and mature, but all these people blowing up my newsfeed of facebook with marraiges and engagements and THEIR FUCKING BABIES. It makes me crazy.  We are so young, when you think about it, if we live until we are 100, we have only lived 1/5 of our life, some even less.  It baffles me and just straight up blows my mind, we have our whole life ahead of us, what the hell is the RUSH?


xoxox,


forever young

When NOT to tell someone you are in love with them.

1. If they're in a relationship already
2. If they're one of your best friends
3. If you are about to risk one of the most important friendships to you
4. If you have been drinking (or if you haven't.)
5. Via text message


Because you'll just get denied.

My thoughts on summer classes

They suck.


that is all.




Okay, obviously I have more to say on this if you don't know me by now...
3.75 hours of class... TWICE A WEEK. for four weeekssssss.
I would rather go for like an hour and a half a day every day for 4 weeks.
but people work and blah blah blah
I don't have the attention span for this.
not to mention this the class I'm taking is Spanish.. .....103!!
I barely passed Spanish 102 and that was the first time I had taken Spanish since Junior year of high school.

I hate learning language. Mostly because it is really hard for me to learn one and...

This is America.

I rest my case.

Keep Your Word

There is nothing I hate more than when someone tells you one thing.. and either does another or just doesn't do it at all.
FORRRRRRRRR EXAMPLEEEE... I babysit for this one family and I lovee them, they are super good to me and pay very well, howeverrrrr, they're inability to tell me the time they will be home so I can plan really gets under my skin. they say "it'll be an early night" but then come rolling in at like 2am and I've half dead from being tired and then drive 30 minutes home.

If you say you're going to do something.. just freaking do it. Or just don't say anything.
that is all.

Summer Dresses

MOM.

Happy Mothers Day!

Moms are probably the single most important person in a girls life, and in a guys as well.  But I can only speak from the girls perspective, sorry guys!  From the day we are born we develop such a strong bond with our mother.  They shape us when we are children and even as we become tween, teens and young adults.  Obviously, and naturally mothers and daughters do not agree on everything, that is just how life is, but even those arguments and the fights, we always learn a lesson in the end.
Behind 'I hate you! This is so unfair!" said by ever teenage girl everywhere at some point will eventually mean "thank you for knowing what is best for me, for caring about me and loving me enough to have rules."

When I was in high school I HATED (of course I could never actually hate my mother) my mom sometimes because she gave me an early curfew and wasn't "cool".  But now, my twenty year old self understands why she did it.  She just had my best interest in mind.  And I appreciate that more than ever.  I had friends whose parents could have given a rats ass about how late their child was out, or who they were with and/or what they were doing.  Or they just wanted to be the "cool mom" or "cool dad."  I'll be the first to admit that I am doing a lot better than those friends are right now.

I am grateful that I have a mom that loves me so much, and cares about me as much as she does.  I do admit that at times she still is strict and can treat me like I'm twelve, but I would take that any day over a mother who doesn't care at all.

Love your mother, and tell her you do every day.  Respect your mother, and she will respect you.  Obey your mother, and you will be rewarded.  Listen to your mother, she actually knows what she is talking about (usually).

Enjoy this lovely day in New England! I know I am! :)

What I want In a Man.

I honestly never actually thought about it, I kind of just go with the flow, I have like an image of him in my head, but that is just the exterior.... I hope you enjoy this rant that will probably end up being me arguing, contradicting and confusing myself... Happy Reading :)

1. I hate always being in charge. I want a guy who will be like, we are going here at this time, be ready by this time.  Or when we are out lead the way, I went on a day trip this past summer with the guy I was seeing and I felt like such a mom, leading him around and whatnot. I want to be the one who is following. I'm not saying all the time, but I need a guy who will wear the pants, but let me wear them too occasionally. (In that case then I will be IN his pants... hehe, haddaa do it!)

2.  I love my family, I want a guy who has a great relationship with his family. I know this is not always the case and some guys have bad relationships with their family, I understand this.  If this is the case he needs to establish a good relationship with my family.

3. Needs to love kids.

4. WHY SO SERIOUS?! Life is too short to be serious all the time.  I want a guy who can have fun! But he also needs to know when it is time to be serious.

5. College educated, or in college.

6. Preferably in a Fraternity.

7. Must dress nice! and by nice I mean he must own pastel pants.  haha I love preppy guys. especially in a bow tie ;)

8. He's got to have goals. I'm not saying like crazy wayy out there goals, but like, goals for after college and even in college.. He's got to have good work ethic.

9. I want a guy who knows how to sweet talk.  He knows how to be romantic and charming.  I'm talking throwing rocks at my window... A girl can dream right?

10.  Make me laugh, make me feel pretty, make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world (thanks Rihanna). Seriously though.

That's it for now.  This is what I want my dream guy to be like.
But until then, I am content with my cats.
sorry I'm not sorry. :) haha

Wine Glass Tumblr? There is a God!


Ordered this after stumbling upon it one day on Pinterest. Literally made no hesitation and so far has been one of the best investments I have ever made. AND I got mine monogrammed... what could be better than a monogrammed (plastic) wine glass with a cover and straw.......? Very few things.
I ordered it from here: http://www.awomanswishlist.com/podotcoandpi.html
There is other patterns to choose from too!
They're so cute!

Denim and pumps is very in this spring. Pair dark jeans, light jeans, destroyed or bleached jeans with bright pumps to dress up any outfit! mix and match colors to really stand out :)

I have no life.

All I do is work.  And I still feel poor all the time. I hate it. I cancelled plans tonight on two guys, Yes, I double booked myself, haters gonnaaa hate, I like to have options.  But one of the guys is actually really sweet and likes me, genuinely.  I'm just a bitch I guess.

ugh.

posts to follow including what I look for in a guy, because quite frankly, I don't even know anymore.
this is going to be interesting....
