Is romance dead?

Ok, so as promised here are my relationship tips.
Disclaimer: I will tell you what I know from personal experience you all may have your own versions of relationships.

So, I have been around the dating world. I know akward first dates and awful kissers. And then there is the flip side, when you meet someone who you just end up connecting with in a way you never thought possible. (get your mind out of the gutter, not just sexual attraction but an emotional one too.) My boyfriend who will not be named due to privacy (friend me on facebook if  you do not believe me.) Have been dating for about a year and a half, and so far it has gone smoothly.

So how do you keep a relationship strong? I feel that this is a question that has been such a huge dilemma in so many relationships especially in a world where romance has died. Or has it? My boyfriend has this strange ability to make every little thing absuletely amazing, no there is no candle lit dinner or a trip to the theatre. He acts so strong (in a good way, remember to keep your eyes open if you are in a dangerous relationship, it is not right no matter what they tell you.) I feel he is my protector, and while at times he can be serious there are other times when we will act so silly. What I am trying to say is that maybe romance is not really dead, sure it is not what we read in fairytales, but what really is true from those fairytales, not all of us are Kates we probably will not find a 'real' prince but this does not mean that who we end up with will not be just as good.

Because it is modern time, don't let the guy be the only one to sweep you off your feet, do the same for him. Again you do not need to have a fancy dinner, a couple of tickets to his favorate band or sports team will do. Even a sweet note (make sure that you give it to him privately)

For more tips return back soon

Until next time,

What Happens Next?

So... it has been one of those difficult weeks that have spiraled almost out of control. This blog will be different (fyi I will follow through with my promises, but I need this off my mind)
My grandma has taken a turn to the worst and her importance to me has started shining brigther than ever. She may be one of the most difficult woman to set straigth but I love that about her. Dealing with what now is the inevitable; hey it is what she wants. I have began reflecting on what becomes of all of us. (pardon the deepness that I am about to bring to you) Is there really a God? Do we all meet up in Heaven? What is hell as it must be different for everyone...
I have began trying to reevaluate what matters to me, I am putting a handle on everything I possably can.
In times like this; a death, heart break, etc... try this:
1) Write everything out (like I do whith this blog, or use a journal)
2) You may need time to heal but NEVER push those away that you love (I realize I have been distant with my friends, those old and those new; hear me out I will make it up to all of you!)
3) It's ok to ask for help. Seriousaly, the saying is overused because it is true! As a college student I had a difficult time realizing that hey maybe I do need help, whether just talking with someone or asking for help on assignments. If you have a good reason for struggling people will help!

If you read this thank you.

Until next time,

A is for apple

Ok sadly this post will be on the short side.

I have like a bazillion things today (exageration of course). So how do I spread my time in these difficult, stressful, and frustrating times?

I make lists, basically a to-do list but I do it in alphabetical order.

For example:

A- assignment

B- breakfast

and so on.

Until next time,

Not so Sweet

Had one of the worst nights last night. Even though I probably went to bed at half past ten, I woke up so tired! In these situations there just is not much you can do. I ussually try to intake alot of caffene, only from my fave chai latte I am not a coffee fan. However, I have been so forgetful lately that I forgot my latte so I have been eating to keep awake. Also the fact that it is so chilly or at least in my opinion I feel it's somewhat ok to ingest large ammounts of calories.

Hey maybe I am just overthinking the whole thing, I mean I fit into the average sized girl. I am a small build with a almost hour-glass shilohuette, man my professor would be happy to hear me use my termanology.

So in the situation I have been dealing with today, I am letting the small things slide. As long as I don't dig myself a hole I should be ok. However my stomach seems to be rebelling against me one minute I feel hungry the next I feel I could burst. Is this normal?

I do have to say after a two hour stats class I feel a bit more awake, though it could have been the sugur that is now pulsing through my vains. I'll admit chocolate and I are amazingly close, I know though that I will need to up my excercise to make it through the winter with a small physique.

I have basically told you about last night and not given you so much advise. What could I possibly say to connect to this 'sleepless-night' syndrome?

1. Relax (before it is time to sleep pull out a book or if you are like me sudoku can relax you. For me it has my whole mind focused on completing a single task)

Next time I will add to this list.

Sweet dreams!

The Art of Making Friends

It's so quiet here. I am hoping if there is anyone out there they will respond...

Anywho. Todays topic is making friends, so if you are starting a new school with no one you know. It reals sort of lonely, doesn't it? I mean I get trying to learn but personally it can be such a downer not having anyone there.

In these situations it is so important to stay true to YOURSELF, I mean be you do not conform! Just because everyone is doing it does not mean you should be doing it too! Now in high school this is alot more difficult then in college because you ussually do not know have a true identity of who you are. This is super important to stay true to yourself and be your own person, this is the true way to make lasting friends.

So I know you have heard the whole 'don't conform' buisness and it can be annoying to hear all the time, but it is just so true that's why it is so over used.

So after you staytrue to yourself, it is now time to get out of your comfort zone and make small talk. Some people may reach out to you and others may be just as shy. Now you will not suddenally become miss/mr popularity after all some people are not as open to new friends and that's alright it is not because of you, it has to do with them. Just stay kind and you may break them, never be nasty at times it can be so tempting however we already live in a world of destruction and war why bring us human kinds down even more? Just kill them with kindness.

Once you make friends, it is important to let this friendship prospure by getting to know eachother. Things like this take time, and it varies for everyone. For example I have made two friends so far one who I hang out with alot and the other I talk to in class. The latter seems not to be ready yet to let all her walls down and the first seems ready to move forward in our friendship.

At some point keeping friends will not be a difficult task, it does get easier.

Until next time,

Butting Heads

You know it is so easy to going from super happy to those kill me now moments. I am sitting here in the libarary finally realizing that my homework I wanted printed is just not going to work.

It's the whole thing Bella mentions in Eclipse the two magnets that just will not go together, though it could be she put south against south or north against north. Still, both my laptop and the printer just will not get along.

Silly right? And yes I was once a twi-hard no flames at me ok? I am my own person, it was one of the guilty pleasures I had. After all we all have been captured by something, blinded by it's brightness to blind to see the truth. And yes this is where my poetic self comes out, that is for my other blog if you go for that stuff.

So enough ranting, sorry on my part.

So I recently opened this blog; actually more like an hour or two ago.

So, here I am wondering what lucky tidbits will you get from me today? My wonderful dating advice which may be amiture in my sister's eyes. My taste in clothes, well I am a fashion major. My friendship tips...well lets say it is a work in progress.

Just let me know what you want to know and I will try my best.

For now I will leave you with this; at points in our lives we seem to struggle with stress, we tend to pile too much on. At these moments take a step back and re-think everything. Sometimes putting it all done on a list is helpful, do the stuff you HAVE to do; that does not mean playing Minecraft or hanging with friends (unless you feel friendship is on the line) this is the time to do that assignment that you put to the side and it's due date is looming closer. Starting from the beggining can be hard and aggrivating, but with every step you take it feels like a load is taken off your shoulders. Trust me on this one, I went from the procrastinating princess to average brain, last part may be an exageration but stay with me.

One last thing (for real this time!) after you have completed your HAVES do a want.
