MY B-DAY WEEKEND

So my 20th B-Day is in 3 days and I'm SUPER excited. El.oh.el. But since my B-Day falls on the Wednesday of finals, I decided to celebrate with my friends the weekend before. And oh.em.GEE. Did WE CELEBRATE. El.oh.el. My weekend pretty much started on Thursday. I had one final and I was done for the day. I chilled out on the plaza and it was SO CRAZY. I met some pretty interesting people, eventhough the school year is about to end. But that was the end of that day. Friday, like usual, NO CLASS!!! El.oh.el. I wore my slutty cute outfit and chilled out on the plaza. I had a short intermission to mentor. And of COURSE I changed my clothes. El.oh.el. After that was done though, I made my way back up to ther school. I was ESPECIALLY excited because I had FINALLY agreed to my bestfriend's offer to smoke weed with him. And what better day to be a first-tme weed smoker, but on the weed holiday, 04/20. I was excited until he told me that he already smoked. I was HOT. I told him the day before that I got off work at 4:00. Y WOULD HE DO THAT?! UGH. I was starting to sound like some kind of weed fiend, but I tried not to let that bother me. Later on that night, the girls and I went to Jazz on the Plaza, while outside, I saw my bee.eff and I gave him my ANGRY face. I couldn't keep it for long though. SMH. I had gotten over it, but now I was ready to drink. We had said that we were going to drink while the concert was going on. SMH. HORRIBLE. El.oh.el. So we decided to mix the alcohol with some slushies from Subway. I don't know who came up with that idea, but it was pretty POINTLESS because by the time we actually started drinking, we had drank the slushies already. I didn't drink all of my slushie, but I couldn't taste it anyway because I had a LOT of alcohol. THEN my friends Muffin and Tasha decided to go smoke WEED, and of COURSE we were invited. :-) I was feeling so many different things at that moment. I was excited, nervous, and scared. We got outside, and there were Muffin and Tasha. They were sitting down, and had already started smoking. My friend Crystal was the first to try. She took about three puffs because she was confused. Then she passed it to Thelma. SMH. That was a disaster. El.oh.el. I knew she was done with it after that. Then it was my turn. I took the blunt and did exactly what Muffin and Tasha told me. *sighs* "DANG. U a professional. R u sure u hvn't smoked before?" That's what one of my friends said to me. Apparently I knew what I was doing. Eventually, the alcohol and the weed was starting to kick in. I felt like I was in another world. It was so much crazy stuff that went on. It all just seems like a dream, but I DO remember all of it. I know my brother called me at after 11 p.m. saying that they were in the area and my visit. I remember craving gummy worms, my mouth was dry. It was just CRAZY. El.oh.el. It was like one of the best nights though. I had the time of my life...I THINK. El.oh.el. It was just a RANDOM night, and I LOVE randomness. The next day was a little different. I was calmer. That's probably because I was still feeling effects of the night before. El.oh.el. I chilled that whole day until my B-Day dinner and movie night. I spent some time with my friend Shelby. We went in the Fondren area and hungout. We talked about the future. It was fun. Later on I got all dolled up to celebrate my   B-Day with my girls and an added guest. El.oh.el. It was an overall GREAT night. I really enjoyed myself. It's moment like these that I cherish, especially because this school year's almost over. With three more days until my B-Day, who knows what will happen. I can't wait though. :-)

Until next time

We Have the Right, SO LET'S USE IT!!!

So this past Thursday the results for our University's elections were announced. I was happy overall for the people that won, but as far as the number of people that actually voted, I felt...some other type of way. When I saw the number of students that actually voted and compared it to the number of students that attend the school, the numbers were HORRIBLE. I mean...I just didn't understand why people didn't vote. It was literally only 13% of people that voted. Out of over 9,000 students, only a little over 1,000 voted. ...WTFlip?! It especially blew my mind to look at the breakdown of the number of people from the different classes that voted. For one candidate, it was only 41 freshmen that voted. REALLY?! There were more AKA that crossed this year. I see more than that number of people in a DAY. Like...this is CRAZY. It would be over a hundred people at the hotspots on Friday or passing through the plaza on a regular day if it feels nice outside. This showed that our generation really doesn't care. I mean...it wasn't to long ago blacks couldn't even vote. Now we're given an opportunity to, but no one wants to. Like do the young people today just not care what goes on in the world around them??? I mean...I know it's a college election, but STILL. These people are going to be put in place to represent our classes and our school as a whole. JUST VOTE. El.oh.el. And this speaks VOLUMES, seeing as how the presidential election is ALSO this year. If students couldn't vote for a simple college election, how are we ever going to get them out to vote for the PRESIDENTIAL election??? Our voices need to be heard as well, but we can't get our points across if we don't even bother to participate in what is going on around us. SMH. It just really disappoints me to see that our generation is only caught up in superficial things, such as appearance. They don't care about the real issues. They have no desire to make a difference. I mean...we CAN make a difference. This incident made me want to improve myself. I mean...all it takes is one person right? I was going to be that one person. I decided to go to the SGA office so that I could fill up one of the open positions. I felt really good. I want to make a difference, but I know it's not going to happen if I just sit around doing NOTHING. I just hope the rest of our generation realizes the same thing. Make a change in the world. Start TODAY. All it takes is one small step. Well...
Until next time.
