bOrEd OuT oF mY mInD!

     Ok I'm sooo bored!! This blog is due by midnight tomorrow, but I have no clue as what to write about. I'm not that interesting of a person and my mind is totally not functioning properly at the moment. I have nothing else to do right now and I'm stuck at the school until my boyfriend gets out of class so I'm doing the only thing I can think of to do. Homework. YAY! Don't you just love it? Homework is the best, especially when you are sooo bored and want to do anything but it. I need a vacation, maybe like to the beach and get a tan. I am horrendously pale and could desperately use a tan. That would help so many people cause I would totally blind everyone who would see me in a bikini right now. Don't you hate how swimsuit weather does that to you? It just sneaks up on you so fast you are so not ready for it and freaks you out. Hmm.. sigh. Now I'm daydreaming of all the places I want to be besides here right now writing this blog. At least it's out of the way now and I don't have to worry about it anymore. Yeah, well I'm out of here I can take no more of this.

Oh! Before i forget.. READ THE HUGER GAMES TRILOGY!!!! It is amazing!! :)

Relax? What does that mean?

     Do you know the feeling of being completely stressed out about everything. So much so that when someone says to take time to relax or you get time to relax you do not know what to do?  I sure do. Being in school I have constant deadlines to meet and new assignments being thrown at me every week. The semester is coming to an end with only four weeks left in class which means everything needs to get done and finals are on their way. On top of all of that, stressing out over grades and juggling what needs to be done, I have to start getting everything in order for next semester such as advising, registering for classes, getting all my financial aid worked out, etc.. I am about to explode!
     My advising appointment that was supposed to take only like ten or fifteen minutes took four hours!! It was crazy and completely stressful, but it was also an awesome experience at the same time. It opened a great opportunity for me and my boyfriend both. Darrell went with me to my appointment and not only did my advisor advise me, but him too. Turns out his advisor did not catch a few things and he will be able to graduate sooner than he originally anticipated.
     Also, my advisor introduced us to another teacher who explained to us a class he teaches along with another teacher. It is a English class and history class, two separate classes technically, that work together over the summer and includes a trip to Boston. It is a lot of work, but a great opportunity educationally and personally. He explained to us that he just happened to have two spots open in the class. We talked with him for two hours about it and ended up signing up for the class.
     Through all of this chaos and stress I have been blessed over and over again. So many things that were causing me to be anxious and stressed were settled for me in less than one day. Darrell was also able to get things settled and was also blessed along with me. It blows my mind what God will show you in the times when you think everything is going out of control. He is always in control and always wants what is best for you even when you can not see it yourself and feel hopeless. So if you know Jesus just relax, he's got it.

Wake Up and Hear The Music!

     Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It completes life. If music had to disappear from the world I would not be a happy person. It is hard to imagine what life would be like without it. Think about it, music is everywhere. Go to a restaurant and music is playing, go to a retail store and music is playing there also. Movies would not be as awesome without music either. Every good movie has a good soundtrack to go along with it. Every culture has music, even tribes in the middle of nowhere without technology have music. It is a way to express ones self and it unites people. Lyrics are a great way to express feelings through music and can speak to others who may seem alone in how they feel. For me music is a way to escape away from life's stresses and worries. I love to get lost in music. Dancing and singing goes right along with it and when i listen to music I can't help but to want to dance and sing aloud. Never take music for granted, it is a gift to the world. Next time you are out on the road of life just listen and I'm sure you will hear the music.

I Love My Geeks!

     Have you ever seen the show The Big Bang Theory? Well, if not you should because it is an awesome show. One of the characters of the show is named Penny. I can really relate to her. She is the only girl in a group of nerds. Me on the other hand, I am the only girl in a group of geeks. I know what you are thinking, "nerds and geeks are the same". However that is far from the truth. Nerds are the comic book readers, yugioh players, action figure collectors, star trek watchers, etc. They just have random hobbies and like to play and collect things. Geeks on the other hand. They may have some nerdish characteristics, but they are the ones that actually get things done. Geeks are into computers and electronics and whenever you have a technical difficulty you go to them. They love their hobbies and love to play, but also thirst for knowledge and how things work. Not only do they know how to have fun, but they also know how to logically think things through and form complex strategies. For me, I love my geeks just like Penny loves her nerds and I would not give them up for the world.

I'm NOT a ROBOT!

     College. One word. WOW. I have so much homework building up on me right now. I could start writing a list of all the assignments that are due in the next couple of weeks and I'm sure it would take up several pages of notebook paper. The stress is unbelievable. For one thing I currently do not own a computer of my own and so I have to use the ones at school or a friends'. It is really hard keeping up with everything because most of my work has to be done on a computer. The fact that I have to rely on others for computer access is not very easy. I live like twenty minutes from the school and so it is not like i can just drive there whenever I want because of gas prices, but luckily I do have an awesome boyfriend that is a computer geek and so he lets me use his computer whenever I can. I think that teachers expect us to be robots or something. Believe me though I am NO robot, I need a computer!

Doctor = Bad

     The dreaded doctors office. I hate that place. Every time you walk into one of those places someone wants to violate you. It's way too creepy for me. Makes you kind of wonder why doctors become doctors in the first place.. It's especially creepy when it is a guy doctor and you are a girl. Very uncomfortable, unless you like that kind of thing. If you do though you need help, but I would not actually say you should go see a doctor for that.. Anyways, just thought I'd mention how odd doctors are. Luckily I am not a person who gets sick much and so I don't have to go very often. So glad. EEK! ...

Why so serious?

      Have you ever been in a room with a group of guys playing Call of Duty on an Xbox? If so then I'm sure you can relate to this. At first everyone is all excited and all pumped up to play the game then, BAM! It happens. Someone screen cheats. It comes out of nowhere, one minute everyone is laughing and joking and the next comes cussing and death threats. Someone's mom is insulted, tempers flare, and egos rage. Don't let me get started on the angry rage mode insults because of someone killed someone too much..ON A FREAKING GAME THAT THE WHOLE GOAL IS TO KILL PEOPLE! I don't get it. Then minutes later it's like nothing ever happened. Everyone is best buds again. I guess it's a guy thing. Girls would totally lose friendships over that. Full blown fights would break out and a death may occur. So tell me, WHY SO SERIOUS?! After all it's just a game.. isn't it?

Look Up!

     Have you ever wondered why it always seems like everyone else sees the shooting stars but yourself? Well I believe I have a solution for you. Look up! There is more to the universe than just the ground you walk on. It may be surprising for you to discover what you have been missing out on. Open your eyes to the world around you and take it ALL in. Even if life seems too busy or there is no time for it, because there always is. We all have a minute here or a minute there to spare and just admire the beauty God created. God didn't just create all of this for it to just get ignored. Not only may you get to catch a glimpse of a shooting star, but you will find that it is very humbling to see how small your problems are compared to the vastness of the universe. So next time you are walking outside, whether it be night or day, just take a minute and look up. You never know when that shooting star will be waiting to take your breath away.

It's gonna blow your mind hole!

     Sometimes I have a hard time staying in reality. Completely forgetting that I have a life of my own and even who I am. Imagine getting sucked into other worlds and into adventures that only exist in dreams. Becoming a completely new person and gaining abilities you could only dream to have. All of this happens to me because I love to read. Books are my escape from reality, from life and all of it's stresses and worries, even though I gain completely new ones through each new character.
     My favorite books to read are fantasy and science fiction novels. These demand that you use your imagination while reading about things that don't exist and that just blow your mind hole. 
     Currently I am reading several books. One of them is a book called The Hunger Games. It is an amazing book and very addicting. It is really hard to put down and I stay up late into the night lost in it. The book is about a girl who has to go into these games to fight for her life. I am not one to tell you everything that happens in a book before you read it because I don't want to spoil the book for you, but it is a really good book and i highly recommend you read it.

  Here are some more books that I recommend you read...
  • The Mortal Instruments (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels) By: Cassandra Clare
  • The Maze Runner Trilogy (Maze Runner, Scorch Trials, Death Cure) By: James Dashner
  • The Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance) By: Christopher Paolini
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay) By: Suzanne Collins
  • Maximum Ride Series By: James Patterson
  • Witch and Wizard Series (Witch and Wizard, The Gift, The Fire) By: James Patterson
  • House of Night Novels By: P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast
  • Hush Hush Series (Hush Hush, Crescendo, Silence) By: Becca Fitzpatrick
  • Fallen Books (Fallen, Torment, Passion) By: Lauren Kate
Just to name a few.. hope you give at least one of them a try.
