Short Live

First of all, I'm sorry that I didn't post anything yesterday. I was consumed with school work. I still am, but this time I have a little bit more time to get it done. SO... about my fast from initiating convos with guys first...that was a FAIL. lol smh. I realized that that is not for me. haha. I started that fast so I would not always be texting guys first, especially for the guys who don't even respond to my messages. That was the purpose, but I don't need that anymore because now I only text for LEGIT reasons. lol. I know what you are thinking, "It's only been two days." haha. I KNOW! I'm doing better with that though. I'm speaking it until the world. lol.

Until next time...

Is It Too Much?

So...I was on youtube yesterday listening to a song by Kelly Rowland and in one of the comments, it referenced this song so i typed it in to listen to it because I had never heard it before. After listening to it, i admit that I wasn't a fan and i'm still not, but i do LOVE Beyonce. I was done with the song after that. Today i got on yahoo and saw this 'beef' between Keyshia Cole and Beyonce regarding the song. Cole basically has STRONG opinions of dislike for the song. I mean i feel like to each is on. I don't blame Cole for saying what she said about the song. It's her opinion. I mean i personally don't feel like this song is Beyonce's speed, and the content itself is just UGH, but that's just me. A lot of people have something to say about this record, but for those people who have not yet heard it, here it is. Let me know what you think.

 

Cut It Out

So a month ago I decided to do a personal fast from fast food and my favorite candy ever, Mike and Ike. lol. It has been pretty successful so far, but today I got the idea of fasting from something else...GUYS. lol. I won't cut them off completely, but I won't initiate texting conversations with any. Yeah i know. It might be a little extreme and a tad bit cray-cray but...WHY NOT??? Guys get me unfocused because i tend to wonder if they are going to call and all this other blah blah BLAH. I realized I have more important things to focus on. I will be a senior next year so I'm focusing on graduating and getting into grad school. THAT'S A LOT. lol. Of course it will be hard but I can do it. I will of course have updates on how I am doing, hopefully all good things. lol

Until next time...

I need to do better...

I started off so nice at the beginning of the year. I was posting stuff on a regular basis but after my phone was stolen, I slowed down...A LOT. lol. I have just had a lot going on. Between school, personal and church, I've been PRETTY busy. But one thing that was said in one of my classes yesterday motivated me to get back at blogging. Walter Mosley, an author we are talking about in my Black Authors class said that if you want to be a writer, you have to sit down and write, even when you don't feel like it. I AGREE! lol. I am going to start making myself write...starting today. I'm out for now, but I will be back.

Until next time...

Live and Learn

So I haven't posted in a while, which is pretty normal for me, but this time there was a legitimate reason this time. haha. My phone was stolen three weeks ago and I was really sad and mad about the whole situation. i was phoneless for like the first few days and through many failed ideas of trying to get another FREE phone, i decided to try Craigslist. I never tried it, but I heard that I would be able to find much cheaper phones than the one C Spire was offering. The first phone I found was an Iphone  4 for $200. I thought that was a great price. So I called, he answered, and we set up a time to me. Unfortunately he never showed. When I tried calling his phone, he didn't answer. I was disappointed, but nonetheless I tried Craigslist one more time. A few days later, I found an Iphone 4s 16gb for $250. That was better than the first deal. I called the guy to set up a day to meet, and we met. This time I had back-up though. We were meeting at night and I didn't know if he was crazy or not. Turns out he wasn't crazy, he was a thief. The guy sold me a stolen phone. I cried at C Spire when they told me the news. I just didn't believe people actually did stuff like that. SMH. Boy was I naive, but not anymore. After a comforting talk with my dad I felt better. You're not real until you make mistakes and learn from them. It shows growth. I might not have my Iphone anymore, but I'll eventually get one. Things could be so much worse.  I'm grateful for the lesson.
Until next time...

TAKE A CHANCE

So last week I was debating whether or not I should go to an interest meeting for a dance team at my school. I didn't know what to expect, and I was really just NERVOUS. I ended up going though. And from that, I was debating of I REALLY wanted to tryout or not. I hadn't danced in YEARS, and I didn't think I was good enough. I mean...everyone on the team is like aMAZING. I went to the first day of tryouts though. I'm happy I went. I applied to an internship too. It's on NY and they don't provide housing, but I still wanted to apply. I also agreed to cover a convocation held at our school for a Jackson newspaper. I was nervous about all these things, and still is because they are still going on, but it just showed me that sometimes you just have to take chances. How else would you know if you are good at something if you don't try??? I hope I succeed at all that I seek, and make sure I take the opportunities that are given to me. I mean...who KNOWS what can happen?

FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL

So it's the first COMPLETE week of school, and it was kind of BLAH. I mean with the rain and 2 LONG afternoon classes,...SMH. It was NOT what was hot. Lol. I can DEFINITELY tell I am in my major. There is SO MUCH READING that I have to do this semester. Smh. "I'm not READY!" *kevin hart voice* I just hope that I can stay focused and get my work done. Of course I'll update on how that goes. Lol.
