Everyone's got their story.

It felt really good, I think I needed this change. I like the new layout, it’s really random but ehh whatever!

were good days.

It was my girls 19th birthday! & It felt really good to see everyone again.

My thoughts on Mean Girls? Good movie. I liked it. I like watching movies in general. I have no particular thoughts on it though. Well I guess I can say, I like how she figures her true self out throughout the movie (the main character).

I’d just like to get this out of my system.

People say you can’t have both beauty and brains…BUT I KNOW SO MANY PEOPLE THAT DO.

WHY DO I FAIL AT SCHOOL. If I don’t have the beauty party at least give me brains!

GEEZ. 

Give me some motivation, inspiration, anything! I try and I fail. I try again and I fail again.

I need something to show me that I can do it, I will be successful.

Please.

Words can’t express how much I love the Harry Potter Series.

I can go on and on telling you that I read each book 3-4 times. That I’ve watched each movie every time it came on TV and several times on my own on DVD. I can tell you that I went to watch the midnight show for Deathly Hallows with my floormates. I can tell you that I’ve collected figurines, bumper stickers, posters, and much more. But none of that would seriously express what I think about Harry Potter.

(I always wished college was like Hogwarts, but I guess we can’t get everything we want, eh?

One of my favorite quotes:

“It is our choices…that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, 1999

My top three bands?

I listen to pretty much anything that sounds good.

But I know one of my favorite bands has always been The Fray!

But seriously give me something good and I’ll listen and probably like it!

Enemies? Did they really do something to you? Yeah maybe some kind of gesture came off as cold, but it’s probably because they heard some things about you. It’s all talk, word spreads, and people formulate opinions. How To Train Your Dragon wasn’t exactly a story about just humans. It was a story about a village made up of Vikings and their only motive is to get rid of all the Dragons that come in their way. Because Dragons are bad right? They keep attacking humans and they keep taking their food. They are the enemy. But to them, we are the enemy, because we just keep attacking back. Not once did the humans try to be friendly with the dragons, of course until Hiccup(the boy in the picture) came along. So maybe Dragons are completely different from humans and maybe they don’t talk. But that shouldn’t mean that humans and Dragons cannot live in harmony. 

This movie reminded me of something that Dumbledore(from the Harry Potter Series written by J.K. Rowling) once said…

Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

Maybe world peace is a little too much to ask for, but if we start smaller, it can make all the difference.

My friend and I were discussing our thoughts about the year 2010. Trying to describe it I said, “I think 2010 was a test for me, to see how we adjust to change, and what we learned from it.” The year 2010, started during my senior year of high school. High School a building that contained people you have probably seen at least once in the last 12 years of your life. A place where most people felt comfortable because it became their home. But why was everyone so ready to leave?? Counting down days until graduation, preparing for Prom, slacking in schoolwork, seniors were just so eager to walk across that field, grab that diploma, and head they’re separate ways. Everyone became a little emotional when they realized they were leaving their closest friends and all the memories that came with them, but deep down they were also ready for an adventure…

Move-in day: Aug. 26th 2010.

So this is it, here it is, college.

New faces, new room, new environment, throwdowns, icebreakers, competitions; seemed like change was hitting us pretty quickly.

But what I wasn’t ready for was the actual part of college. Adjusting to the shortened time (semester), the workload, and the social aspect of college. Everything was thrown at us all at once. And these ‘friends’ that we make this semester…will we see them next semester? Such a big school. Slowly, I was getting used to this new environment and realized the things I liked and the the things I disliked. I started to learn a lot more about myself. I learned my strengths and my weaknesses. I can’t say I’ve figured out my life yet, but I’m slowly getting there. 

Just as the semester came to an end, so did the year. Just as I was recognizing my mistakes, it was a little too late to react towards them for this year at least. But that’s what next year is for, right? To learn from last year’s mistakes and go on from there? I mean, I’m not expecting next year to be perfect, but I can expect a different kind of change. All I have to do, is put some effort into it. I can’t just sit here and expect things to fall in place. That’s one thing I learned, nothing just happens, you have to have done something for it to have happened.

Sayonara 2010, it’s been real.
