Title Unknown...

Today there are no lessons, no advice, and no real plan.

This blog is just me. My thoughts spilling out of my fingers and into the computer and getting to you. I just want to write. Is that cool?

Lately, I've been feeling oh so unorganized. My mind can't really function, I forget things, and I get stressed out so easily. I've only been in school for about a month and I'm already ecstatic at the thought of a break. I feel as if I'm not having the "normal" college experience...whatever that is! They say these years will be the best four years of your life...I'm waiting for that to start. I wonder if it is because I don't belong to a sorority, a team, or a clique. From kindergarten till about senior year in high school I was always the type to have my group of girls. I always enjoyed having options. Going to my one friend for this, and my other friend for that. Ya know, like Sex and the City. Don't you just wish you had a group of close girl friends like them?



Ever since senior year, things have been different. I see more of people's true intentions and bad habits. It feels like friendships are so wishy-washy now. I never no if we are cool today or fighting tomorrow, who wants to got through that? So at this point in my life, if you can't be a loyal friend, I don't want you. You can be crazy, loud, and outrageous but if you are loyal to ME as a friend, then welcome! (haha) but seriously, at the end of the day isn't that all that matters? You don't have to be identical twins to be best friends, all that you need is that one person who is down for you and won't ever leave you hanging. Although I've had my share of bad friends, I have also had my share of good ones that are still close to my heart today. If only they weren't states away! For now, I guess the best thing to do is be open to the new folks, cut out the bad ones, and keep it movin'.



On to another topic: I've had this urge to travel! I guess I also wanna get the heck outta here! A girl came to my Mass Communications class the other day telling us about this volunteer group that goes to Africa or Central America. We would help their country and get to see their land, get to know their culture, and do all of these cool things. She sold me! I kept thinking about how cool it would be to be in a whole country, better yet CONTINENT and take in a totally new way of living. As perfect as everything had seemed, of course the payment you would have to make was a bit cray-cray. I've decided that I will make my own vacation plan. I will save up, set a goal, and just go! It's time for me to see the world already.

...that is all.

failure...

Well...
I just took my first test in college and got a 49%. Of course it was on math...ugh! Math is my LEAST favorite subject. I actually hate it. I'm trying to remind myself that it's not the end of the world but it sure feels like it is. For those of you who don't know me, I am NOT okay with grades like that. I'm not some all A's, valedictorian student, but I do have standards. Luckily for me, we have 5 tests and our lowest grade will be dropped, so hopefully this is the lowest I will ever get so I can get rid of it. Piece of advice: if you have ANY question, I mean ANY question...don't be afraid to look "stupid" ask your professor, a tutor, or do some real research! I guess I figured I did enough of all of the following, but I think deep down I knew this math stuff was like German to me. Okay, enough of the pity party. Let me try to get out of this funk. Let's talk about stuff cheering me up or just stuff I love at the moment, yeah?

-"Dance floor Champion"

This song just gets me going! I love the beat in it and when it comes on I just want to dance around my house and it allows all my worries to be let go for just a moment. :)

 

-Photos from Fashion Week

Too cute! Isn't it? Famous soccer star, David Beckham, with his adorable daughter at Fashion Week. If this picture wasn't perfect enough, his tattooed hands put the cherry on top! David Beckham is where bad boy, athlete, adorable father, and model all meet and mesh in into the product above! :D

Kerri Washington! I love her as an actor, I think she is so versatile! This outfit just proves it. Here she is at Fashion Week walking the runway at the Project Runway Fashion show. This dress makes her skin look amazing and reveals just enough to add a mature factor to this girly summer dress.

OMG, this picture gives me life. I love it. perfect. All I can say!





-The Color Run

I'm telling you guys, one day I will be participating in this! It looks so fun and cool! I've seen so many people after they ran in the color run and it just makes me jealous! As soon as it comes to my city, I will be signing up, and I'll write a whole blog about it. ;)

-Jay & Beyoncé

I just love them! I probably always will. They're just beautiful. He's the refined gangster and she's the graceful but fierce regular girl from Houston, TX. How can you NOT love them? This picture reminds me of Barbie and Ken, really!

 

Yay! I'm feeling better already! Talking about good things and things you love really is a good way to get out of a funk. I hope everyone else is doing well and having a good day. Monday's are always tough! I'll end today's blog with a song:

You're Just a Booty Call

Booty Call: a phone call from a guy (usually late at night) who only wants one thing...and I'm NOT talking about a relationship!

Are you a victim of the booty caller? The guy(s) who calls you after hours, not to talk about how your day was or how your  mom's doing, but to ask when is the next time you can come over to his house. 

Okay, let's stop right here. Guys that make you go out of your way to come see them only consider you to be a friend or the dreaded: booty call. A guy that is complelty interested will always make the effort to spend time with you and come see you. DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE. Let me make you an OBVIOUS and IN-YOUR-FACE list of signs that you are simply a booty call because I know we girls can be completely blind to the truth sometimes, its okay.

1) He won't give you the time of day in public but will call or text you when he is home.
- Man oh man, I've seen this too many times. There is something wrong with him having so much to say when he gets home and having nothing to say when he sees you. If he really cared for you he would be more than excited to see you and would have plenty to say and ask.

2) He always has multiple girls around him or texting him.
-You're not being jealous if he always has girls texting him, you're being observant! If he's with you and if he likes you, those girls can be put on hold. If you always see him with girls in school or around it means one of two things: A) He's gay or B) You're one of many of his victims.
3) His Facebook wall is covered in smiley faces and flirty comments from "just friends."  
-Guys will be quick to come up with some lie and a full blown story just to make you feel good, don't fall into the trap, please! If you are reading with YOUR OWN eyes a bunch of flirty posts on his wall, something needs to be figured out. That's it. Girls don't just post on guy's wall for no reason. Unless you're dating David Beckham or Justin Bieber, girls will not go as far as to write on their wall for no reason.

haha!

4) He has never called you beautiful but will call you sexy.
-This is something not all girls really pay attention to! Just because they give you some cute pet name or give you a compliment, really pay attention to what exactly he is complimenting you ON. Beautiful and Sexy are two different things. There's nothing wrong with being sexy but if that is all the guy can come up with...they're not worried about you, they're worried about what you're packin'.

5) He never asks personal questions, only sexual ones.
-Does he ever ask about your family? Does he know where you were born? Is the first thing he ever brings up is what he wants to do to you? Yeah girl, he is NOT the guy. Throw up your hand and you know what to do, throw up the dueces!
6) He has never mentioned a future or any further relationship.
-If you guys are just starting to talk, don't expect him to plan your marriage and what color suit he is going to wear. All I am saying is if months are going by and you two have never even DISCUSSED it, then you really need to take a second look at what you guys are doing.

Any of these things sound familiar? Going through it right now? Well girl, get out of it! You're wasting time and effort on someone who is only trying to get the cookies.

Take care & DON'T be a booty call.

The College Catwalk

What do you wear in college?

College students are often portrayed as hung-over, exhausted, or extremely sophisticated students walking around in a suit and tie. Welp! It's true. After first coming to campus for orientation, I realized almost every other girl had on a pair of nike shorts, an overly larger t-shirt, and sandals or tennis shoes. It was as if everyone was on their way to the gym! Really, college is about getting an education, not like in high school where you had to wear the cutest and most trendy things. I see that now. Here are a few of the styles I have discovered out here on the College Catwalk:

1) The Chill College Chic 

THIS, my friends, is a college girl's uniform! Why? I truly do not know. Personally I just cannot commit to it. Maybe it has to do with my track & field background or maybe its the fact that I have a passion for fashion, but I just cannot walk out of the house like this unless I plan on going to the gym or running in and out of a corner store late at night. I guess a plus for dressing this way is that you don't spend 30 minutes trying to find a perfect outfit for the day, you just slap an old t-shirt and some shorts on and you're good! 

2) The Laid Back & Trendy

Nothing's wrong with being a little comfy but if you're like me you want to be comfy AND cute. My idea is, you never know who you might meet or bump into that day. Let's say tomorrow I decide to wear an outfit like the one above and Tyra Banks decides to come to campus and does a model scouting right on sight! If I'm looking like a bum you better believe she will look right past me! So, just be prepared!

3)Office-ready

Now, there are some (very few) of us who get ready every morning as if we are going to an interview. You've got your hair slicked back and pinned up to perfection, Louis Vuitton heels on, and you feel sexy and chic. All that is great, don't get me wrong, but if you're like me, you can't walk around campus in heels all day and you're lucky if your hair comes out perfect that morning. I always say there is no such thing as being over dressed, only under dressed, so to my office-ready girls: More power to ya!

4) Hipster Girls 

Who DOESN'T love a hipster girl? Those girls who mix such cute pieces together and just make it look totally cool? Yes! Why can't we all be one of those girls, right? These girls come to class as if they didn't really think about their outfit but they had a natural ability to put the right pieces together enough to look camera-ready. Love 'em! Keep doing your thing hipster girls!

Ladies, no matter what you wear to class as long as you're getting an education and you feel beautiful and confident while doing it, that's all that matters. Whether you're one of my girls wearing the college girl uniform or if you're a lovely hipster girl, if you feel good, keep doing it!

How to Survive College as a Freshmen

And the worst Blogger award goes to.....me!!!
I have been so busy with school, work, and school assignments I haven't gotten a chance to have my "me" time and write for myself and my lovely readers. August 26th I started school here at college. Within these few weeks I have already learned so much! I have already become a stronger and more independent person, finally! When people tell you college is way different from high school, they are NOT lying! So, I have created a quick list of tips for my pre-college or college readers.

1) DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
Do you feel the seriousness in that statement? I wrote in bold, highlighted it, and capitalized it so you know it's real! In college there is a heavy work load. They will give you a lot of work and expect it done by a certain time. Remember the deadline! For those of you who like to save stuff for the last minute, college is NOT the time to do that. Are you a crammer? Yeah, no, that's not going to work here either! When you are lucky enough to have free time, use it! study your butts off and get your work done so that when the deadline comes you will have nothing to worry about.

2) Get involved
Whether you're going to a big college or a small college there are always clubs, sports, and activities to get involved in. Do your research! When you seek, you will find! Getting involved with your school will help you meet people, get your name out there, help you have fun, and help your overall college experience.

3) Don't be afraid
I know when you're the "new kid" things may seem a bit scary and everything is so unknown but there really is nothing to be afraid of. In college you're not completely alone because theirs always going to be hundreds more kids in your exact position. If you have a question, ask it. If you want to do something, do it. There are so many opportunities in college that you really should take advantage of, don't be scurred!

4) Get your Z's and Time Management
College really will keep a person busy! With me, I have school and then work and by the time I get home I have studying and homework waiting for me. That's when time management comes in. Waiting to do your homework or studying will only prevent you from getting your sleep. Without sleep, we are just...well...useless. I learned after my first week that I would really have to add sleep into my schedule or else I would become this useless blob not absorbing any information in class.

 

5) Get organized
I saved this for last because it really is important throughout all of college and all of your life.  When you are not organized you can forget things, miss deadlines, and feel overwhelmed. Before you start college invest in some forms of organizers. I personally have a large white board in my kitchen to remind me of things to do around the apartment. I also have a calendar in my room that is actually quite large as well. My calendar is just so I can see deadlines, due dates, tests, quizzes, social events, or anything else. Then, there is my planner. That is what I take around with me everywhere. I guess you could say it is like a smaller to-go version of my calendar at home but my planner is where I write down immediate information.

Hope this was able to help you guys! Want another list? Have any things you think should be added? Feel free to tell me! I love to hear from my readers!
