How It Goes

The list of things I accomplished today (it's actually quite long), is probably still shorter than the list of things that needs to get done by Thursday.

      Yesterday I was completely convinced that I was going to flunk out of school. Okay, so maybe not flunk out, but I definitely thought that finals were going to do me in. I'm not the most organized person in the world, so come finals/midterm time I kind of just implode into a million stressed-out pieces.       Last night I had a lot of work to do, and I got a bunch done, but I was (and still kind of am) completely convinced that I wasn't going to get any of it done on time and my teacher was going to hate me forever and that I would fail my final in his class. But that didn't happen! Everything that I thought was due wasn't exactly due, so what I got done worked out, it's just all due on Thursday and I'm kind of hardcore freaking out about that and I'm not sure how much sleep I'm going to be getting before Friday night (morning maybe? I'm doing something fun that night).        I did bring this all on myself, to be completely hones...

There are a lot of things that you can give up in life, some good and some bad. During Lent I tried to give up having as many negative thoughts and actions towards others, tried to make myself a better person. And it worked a little (I think, I hope others thought I was nicer). Either way, I have a new thing to give up: what others think of me. Personal appearance wise, and sometimes in what I say and do. I don't always stay true to what and who I want to be, and I kind of hate that about myself. I also don't like the fact that I let what other people might think rule my decisions, whether it's when I'm picking out clothes before class, or deciding to shave my legs, or whether or not I want to wear makeup that day. I have fun clothes that I love wearing, but they're not exactly fashionable right now. I wear them anyway because I feel invincible wearing them, but at the same time, self-conscious. And so I've decided to do my own thing. It may seem like someth...

I've been told before that I'm a flirt. It doesn't bother me or anything, it just always comes as a surprise. You see, I never really had many guy friends in high school, I've gotten most of them since coming to college, so I've never really talked to guys a lot like I do here. Therefore, I've always believed that I never knew how to flirt, so being told that I am one is kind of strange. To me it's just how I interact with people, I don't mean to flirt so I guess I never know that I'm doing it. Plus, I'm not super confident in my body image, so I would only flirt with people if I'm confident enough, which isn't often. I just like to talk to people! But anyway, just thought I'd share that tidbit. TheFabKid

I feel bad for anyone that has to deal with me for the next couple hours because I am too tired for anybody's shit (good or bad). I am currently experiencing the worst week of the month and that has made me completely intolerable to anything. All I want is my hot rice sock, my tub of ice cream, my bed, my oversized moose stuffed animal, and Netflix. That probably sounds really whiny, but everyone's just going to have to deal with it. That's probably no the best attitude to have, but it's my current attitude. Sorry 'bout it. Can you tell that I'm not in the best mood right now? This is the the type of mood where I get rebellious and hate listening to people. It's already happened today. I'm working on a project and somebody wanted to add to the title that I made, but their suggestion didn't sound right at all, so I did my own thing and it felt really good to not listen to them (That might not seem in the spirit of a group project, but I've been ...

When you first meet me I'm not always the most talkative person. I'm the type of person that opens up over time. Then, once you've known me long enough, I just can't shut up. So basically, I like to talk. Even though I like to talk, sometimesI forget just how nice it is to sit and talk to someone. Deep conversations are nice, but when you just chill out with someone and talk about anything; where silences aren't always bad; when the conversation is relaxed, it's a really nice experience. I'm glad my friends here at college like to do that. TheFabKid

People who support you. This is just more of a Joy than it is something simple, but a Joy nonetheless.

Fellow Earthlings, Today I was thoroughly confused (it's not that hard to do). Monday through Thursday I have class at the same time in the same classroom at school. Monday/Wednesday is World Masterpieces and Tuesday/Thursday is Tech and Prof Com. Today's Thursday, but when I walked into the classroom early and my WM professor was there I was completely and utterly confused. I thought I either messed up the classroom or the day, or something. Obviously it wasn't the case, but that was just bad news bears. People shouldn't do that sort of stuff. TheFabKid

I'm pretty sire I can defuse a bomb now. I have that whole 'Working under pressure until the very last second' thang down. Just sayin' TheFabKid (P.S. I learned this skill while registering for classes and getting rid of holds on my account. #officiallyfeelinglikeabadass)

Hey chicos!!!! So, I've had a really good past couple of hours. (And I finished my essay finally-yay me!) We held elections in my sorority today for new positions for everyone. I had speeches for three positions planned out (and I did give them all) and the position that I got wasn't one that I even spoke for (I had even planned on declining the position because I wasn't sure I could handle the time and events, but I'm determined to make it a good position and do a great job). Same with both of my roommates and another (maybe a couple others) girls in the sorority had the same thing happen to them, so it's just kind of funny. Our meeting went on for three hours, which is a long time to sit and listen to people talk. Then my roommate and I went on the roof of one of the buildings on campus (shh! don't tell!) and we just talked for a couple hours about anything and it was just a really nice time. We got stuck up there for a little over ten minutes when we trie...

WHAM BAM, HOT DAMN WHO THE HELL ARE WE? WE'RE THE LOVELY SISTERS OF DPHIE! Wow my past week has been crazy. I really should be writing my essay right now, but I can't actually be entirely bothered about it (the subject is just horrible and it's pretty terrible to write, but I'm still going to get it done tonight, it's pretty much due. But whatever). Homework is piling up and I'm kind of struggling but I know that I almost work better under pressure. It makes me more focused, and I'm more that willing to pull a couple of sleepless nights in order to get work done. Anyway, the past two days have been very, very Greek. Friday was Song and Skit, where all of the Greek orgs on campus get together and perform a 10 minute (at most) skit where you can sing and dance. You're meant to be funny and it's okay to make fun of yourself  or other orgs or something. We did a spoof on some Miley Cyrus songs and it was pretty funny (we got to do the Simba lift u...

Anything with Ellen DeGeneres. She's a cool lady.

Hi all! So, for the past 10 days I've been doing this challenge, 100 happy days. Every day for 100 days you take a picture of something that made you happy that day and you post it somewhere with the tag #100happydays . I think it's a really cool project and it helps remind you to be happy, to make the decision to have something good in your day. I totally recommend joining this challenge, it's pretty wonderful. These are the pictures of what I've been doing. My roommates and I rode our bikes to the library. I have fabulous cat dangle-y earrings. We had a campfire at our cast party. First of the year! My wonderful roommates and I. The greatest highlighter-yellow tennis-shoes. Ever.  My fabulous hippie skirt. A lovely 3am snack. It was sunny out AND I got to wear shorts! Me, cuddling with my unicorns.  I got to paint the rock, I made cake, and I found my phone after basically 2 weeks.  TheFabKid

Good day ladies and gents and others! I'm glad I went to class today. I was in one of those moods where I just did not want to be in class, at all whotsoever today. All I wanted to do was sleep (maybe because I was up until 4 or 5 am doing studio projects), but I ended up going even though I was late to both (by like, 20 minutes. when the whole class is almost 3 hours long, that's not a big deal).  In my first studio my professor managed to help me refine one of my janky ideas into a much better one AND I got some work done for stuff due next Tuesday, so bonus on both of those. In my second stuido class we decided to do a group project (on a whim bascially) and I ended up getting a good parter for a cool project (a.k.a. would not have happened had I not been here)!  This kind of teaches me a lesson that I've been hearing a lot lately. One iteration of ti is 'Be Here Now'. It's about living your life to the fullest and not wasting a second of it; spending...

Hello fellow earthlings, So, I'm not in the best of moods but today was still a great day, which I know seems contradictory, but it works for me. You see, I think I'm in my hangover stage of people exposure. I've been around them too much so now I can't deal with them, and everyone is slowly starting to REALLY get on my nerves (but not everyone, so don't worry, and not too much). I get to this point where I need to be an introvert and get away from people otherwise someone will suffer. There's also this person that I've been having a problem with for a while and they managed to piss me off tonight, so that just worsened my mood. However, I have had a good day. Today I wore my hippie skirt for the first time in ages, which was great because it's ankle length and swishy and just altogether wonderful. Plus it was sunny out again today. I finished one of my projects with plenty of time that I thought was going to take much longer, always a plus. I was al...
