Last Night On Earth…

My beating heart belongs to you

I walked for miles 'til I found you

I'm here to honor you

If I lose everything in the fire

Did I ever make it through?

"Last Night on Earth" - Green Day

So, I suppose this song is kind of relevant today.

I mean, considering people think the world is ending on Dec. 21, 2012.

And it's Dec. 20th…

But really…

Why would listen to this?

The Mayans were probably bored of continuing on their calendar for so long… Especially since they knew they wouldn't be alive by this point…

Also, the other parts of the world are already experiencing 12/21/12…

& they are all still very much a part of this world…

There are people going crazy & draining their life savings and just blowing all their money…

Why?

Seriously… Stop that!

I mean, I guess we won't know until tomorrow if I'm wrong or not…

But, by then it won't matter…

I'm not wrong, by the way…

There's no way!

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW! :)

#SelfieProbz

I'm sure you've seen "selfies" overtake your social media sites lately…

What is a selfie?

WELL…

Selfie - a picture someone takes of themselves, alone… and posts them on a social media site like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. In the picture, the person is usually trying extra hard to look good, or looking ridiculous while making silly faces.

It's becoming a problem.

WHY HAS SOCIAL MEDIA BEEN ATTACKED BY THE SELFIES?!

I think SnapChat is playing a big part in the "selfie" outbreak…

Why not send someone an ugly face that they can only see for a few seconds before it's erased?

Too bad there's screen-shotting abilities now though kiddos!

So watch what you're sending! :P

Here are some classic things to look for when identifying a selfie!

The classic "Peace sign/wink/tongue-sticking-out" combo

The "kissy" face (YIKES!)

The "Gazing off into the distance" face..
That's usually accompanied by lyrics or something else cheesy like,
"You're always on my mind"
(barf).. Sorry…

The "How YOU doin'?!"
Curtesy of Joey Tribbiani :P

The "Oh-hey-There's-something-on-my-wall-and-I'm-just-gonna-act-like-
this-really-great-angle-of-my-face-
was-taken-by-complete-accident" face…
Enough said.

Yeah…

I mean, I can understand I guess why people post these SOMETIMES…

But, when you're posting them SO often that I KNOW to expect them, that's too much! So, maybe just calm it down a little.

PLEASE & THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

- Everyone

Teenage Dream...

This is my last post ever as a teenager.

YIKES!

I'm excited to be more of an adult.

A societally recognized adult.

When you're 18, yes, you're an "adult," but…

You're still looked down upon.. greatly.

People still classify you as a "reckless teenager," or whatever else they call us.

Well, almost no more ridicule for me.

I was talking to my mother the other day about how teens are scrutinized and stereotyped.

My brother stopped at a gas station to get some gum before his homecoming dance and the man behind the counter made a common to him saying how the gum wouldn't cover up alcohol.

Okay, okay… He's SEVENTEEN.

No need for those comments.

They breathalyze to get into the dances anyway, so you'd have to be stupid to drink beforehand anyways.

Another example

Would be when students go to the health clinic here on campus… Not every problem is related to alcohol. Seriously. I'm just sick… Diagnose me and make me better.

But there was my little rant.

I'm excited to be 20.

YAYYYYY! :D

Phew! Less than a half hour left! :)

Food for Thoughts :)

I Don't Wanna Be...

… Anything other than what 

I've been tryin' to be lately.

All I have to do is think of me 

& I have peace of mind.

I have one, count 'em, ONE week left of teenage life.

If you ask me, that's pretty scary.

20.

20.

20.

OH. MY. GOSH!

So many things happen in your 20s!

I just can't contemplate that!

Reason #1:

Finishing higher education & graduating!

Reason #2:

Getting a real job in the real world!

Reason #3:

Getting engaged & married! :)

Reason #4:

Starting a family?! :O

It's all really scary.

SO MUCH STUFF CAN/MIGHT HAPPEN!

I just can't believe I'm about to move on to the next decade of my life!

Phew.

It's kinda a lot to take in.

Obviously all those things aren't going to happen over night…

But, 20 just showed up so fast… Who knew!?

Wahhh.

Hello pulse check.

Welcome to reality & the real world!

I really want to make the best 

& most of the next 10 years of my life.

I think I can do that much.

Wish me luck…

I think I'm ready for a life though.

Are you?

Food for Thoughts :)

And Breathe, Just Breathe...

Hey there!

It's been quite a while since I've had the chance to post.

I've had so much work to do.

This semester is definitely going to keep me busy.

That's okay though!

I'm gonna get through it all!

Tomorrow:

Is the fall kickoff meeting for VCTO…

Which is Visual Communication Technology organization!

It's super fun!

& I'm really excited to meet some new people!

I've also got 50 thumbnail sketches due tomorrow

& two roughs…

I need to finish those…

Hopefully everything is going well for you all!

& that you all are enjoying school/work/whatever :P

Maybe I'll have a little time to start writing in this again…

We'll see!

xoxo

Happy Tuesday!

It All Started With A Big Bang...

So many things.

All the time.

For one: I won "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" tonight :)

#champin

SO:

School starts again soon!

In 15 days! YIKES!

I can't believe it.

Time series flies.

I have so much to do before I leave though!

So much

So much

So much!

Somehow I'll get everything done though!

I can't wait to be back in the Beeg though!

Bowling Green State University

It's the greatest <3>

& Austin is there.. and I miss him so much!

I did just spend 5 days with him though

& it was super great! :)

Our families met and had dinner together too & that also went well! Couldn't have asked for it to go any better! <3 nbsp="nbsp">

ANYWAYz…

I always end up blogging so late at night & now I'm sleepy!

Have a great night/day :)

Jon McLaughlin Live Love…

JMcL:

During spring semester's finals week, singer/songwriter/musician Jon McLaughlin of Indiana performed online with LiveStream.

Needless to say, I had set aside the entire block of time to sit in front of my computer and watch him perform live.

He is so talented.

I've only had the opportunity to catch him in concert twice, but each time was better than the next!

Every album you can hear how he grows as an artist, and I can't get enough of his voice!

I look forward to the day when he's playing at sold-out shows in amphitheaters big enough to hold thousands :)

Here's his live performance :)

So many of JMcL's songs have amazing lyrics, and I think that is one of the reasons why he's so great.

His songs inspire me, as I'm sure they do so many others.

I really hope he knows how great he really is!

Amazing.

I'm Already In the Perfect life, and these Blue Skies are Giving Me Reasons to Love that you're Beating My Heart, because you're Always On My Mind, and that's Why I'm Talking to You, because I'm only Human, and I want you to Dance Your Life Away with me, so even though the Summer is Over and it's So Close to The Middle of These Crazy Times, You Are What I'm Here For, which is why I'll Follow You to Indiana because I know it's A Little Too Hard (& A Little Too Fast) to tell you that You Can Never Go Back, because the truth is We All Need Saving, and people always tried to Throw My Love Around, and I know I Brought This On Myself, and just when I thought Maybe It's Over, I ran Smack Into You, and Without You Now, I'd be Promising Promises to someone who wasn't What I want, but you introduced me as, "My Girl" Tonight, and after these Four Years, I know that You Are The One I Love.

Sincerely, your Beautiful Disaster

Time Flies When You're Having Fun...

SUMMAH!

My summer started tonight! :)

I finished my summer classes officially

& I got a 98.1% :)

#champin

Tonight is my last sleepover with my friends :'(

#bittersweet

-------------------------

So, that was last night.. and I ended up forgetting to finish & send this.

BUT

The sleepover went super well & I had a great time!

I love my friends :)

It's weird that we're all just ready to leave..

Some of us are getting apartments or houses (or still living in dorms :/)

& it's just really funny thinking about how this time last year, we were having our "last" sleepover & we were all really nervous for school.

It's like we're pros now :P

#sophomoreswag

I am really going to miss my friends though!

I plan on attempting to visit most of them at their schools though!

YAY! :)

Today was my first official day of summer

& it was nice and relaxing!

It's nice not having homework to do for once this summer!

Although, work never really does end.

When I think about going back in time…

This exact time two years ago, I was getting through my concussion after having a heat stroke while being on set of the Corbin Bernsen movie "25 Hill"

#neckbracelife…

BUT!

Here I am now, two years later, still blogging away! :) & still trying to survive in the heat.. Haha!

Everything seems to be going well though for me.

The world around me seems to be going insane though…

#heavenhelpus

But yay Fridays! :)

Food for Thoughts :)

Sighhhhhhhh...

Today.

Was just a "blah" kind of day…

Very "mehh"..

I feel like I have a lot to say..

But, I don't even know where to begin.

I'm sleepy.

Maybe I'll actually write something later…

Goodnight.

SHMURR.

Two Months in 7 Pics...

So it's been quite some time.

I've already been on summer vacation (kind of) for almost 7 weeks now I think!

It's been loads fun.

So I guess this is what I've been up to!

Veron and I moved out & said goodbye to our room!

I went back to serving at Raintree Country Club :)

I've hung out with friends :P

I visited Austin! <3 :)

Where I got to go to the Toledo Zoo for the first time 

& see my first Toledo Mud Hens game! :D

I went on vacation with Carrie & her fam! :)

My cousins and I had one last sleepover all together at our grandparents' house before they move :'(

I got to see the live production of 

Hairspray for the 3rd time! :)

& Rachael and I wore really cute outfits :P

So I guess that's what I've been up to!

I hate that I always slack on writing in the summer…

Sorry :(

In other news:

This is my last week of my first session of summer classes!

I have the final on Thursday!

I'm really happy it's almost over!

Despite the fact that the class was really interesting & I think I learned a bunch! :)

I also just finished doing a video project for a scholarship!

It'd be so awesome if I could win it!

I really think I did a good job & put forth some creativity :)

I can't believe that I've already almost been on vacation for two months now!

Time sure does fly! :P

I hope you're all having great summers too! :D

Enjoy these nice days we've been having! :)

Nothing On My Mind...

I thought I wanted to write something.

But I'm just not sure what I want to talk about.

I've gotta work tomorrow.. and I'm kind of sleepy?

REALLY interesting.. Not.

Yay!

Anyway..

I'm probz going to sleep.. since I've gotta work relatively early tomorrow. Murrrrr.

We Are The Champions, My Friends...

So.

I don't even know where to begin.

Let's see…

Life is going well for me.

Can't complain.

I've been eating very healthy for the past three days now..

& working out too since I've been home.

IT FEELS GREAT.

It all started for my human nutrition class that I just started for summer semester..

But, it's more for me in the long-run :)

I did a bunch of fun stuff today!

I slept in..

Saw my old art teacher <3

(Who helped me decide to become a VCT major)

Visited my mom at work

and got to see her new office building

& the awesome people she works with.

And I went grocery shopping for more healthy food :)

and I made dinner for my family!

Fun right?

Yep!

I'm pretty tired.

I've gotta get up early tomorrow.

I'm going into the high school tomorrow to help this year's newspaper staff with their Year-End Spectacular!

I've heard they are in need of some.. :/

<3 Love you all! Can't wait to see you! :)

I'm sleeeeeeeepy!

Time for sleep!

But I'll undoubtedly watch an episode of Greek before I actually fall asleep ;)

It's a good show..

You should watch it if you don't.

They have the whole thing on Netflix.

I hope you all had a lovely Tuesday & have an even better Wednesday! :)
