I was cleaning my room today, thanks mom and dad, and found this poem I wrote at the end of my senior year.
What if the past were gone,
it had all been erased.
Would you make the same mistakes?
What if I had never existed,
I was dropped off the earth,
would you care enough to look for me?
What if you never made mistakes,
you were completely perfect,
would you be yourself/
I have made too many mistakes,
to ever be perfect.
I have looked too hard for lost friends,
to find any of them.
I did all of these things,
and lost myself in the process.
I need my past.
I love my mistakes.
I enjoy my true friends.
And more importantly,
I cannot fathom being anything other than,
myself.
WOAH. lol I never expect that out of myself. A lot of my old writing is pretty bad actually.. until I saw this.. hmm :) food for thought

Lack of Sleep + Stress = BAD
So these past two weeks have been very stressful. Last week was just because I had a presentation due monday. But here's my schedule:
Monday - did my presentation, then had to work on my bio presentation
Tuesday- bio, work on comm theory, comm theory, write rough draft for lit studies paper, work on bio project and go to UPAC meeting
Wednesday- lit sudies rough draft, comic class, do paper and bio project, sorority meeting, more homework
Thursday - bio, work on comm theory, comm theory, give blood (DEAR GOD IM SCARED) do more homework and then sorority stuff
Here's the deal though, ti doesn't seem like a big deal except I was basically doing all the work for my lit studies class. Well, Jessie and I because our freshman partner (who puts a freshman in a 290 class?!?) would't do anything. And I literally mean she didn't do anything. She set up the power point but Jessie and I did EVERYTHING ELSE. It's the same with my bio presentation. No no one is taking charge so now I am gathering info and putting it in a power point. It frustrating! I WAS NEVER THIS LAZY AS A FRESHMAN. EVER. And I'm not going to let my grade suffer because their lazy so of course i'll do the work. Thank you, conceited and lazy generation, for making my life so difficult.

Get It? Got It? Good.
4 weeks in. 3 papers, 3 projects, 4 tests, 9 quizes. That's what I've been up to the past 4 weeks. All that, plus CRU and breathe. And then put IOX in the mix and you have my life. To be honest, this is not where I saw myself when I thought of this school year. I didn't expect some of my friends to turn into the people they did. I also didn't expect to be as close to some of theses girls as I am. It was a blessing in disguise.
See I pictured myself being besties with my pledge class again; doing everything together studying together, just being together again. And that's how it was for.. maybe a week. Now I am constantly with Alisha and Lindsey (who were always a given) plus Jo and Keely. I should have seen it coming, since Lindsey and Keely were so close in the beginning, but I am just surprised. I forgot how good it felt to have real friends. And yeah there's some drama, and there always will be, but I'm very glad to be where I'm at. I thank God every day for the life that I have been given. I want to thank Him for my family as well, because I know that no matter what they will always have my back <3

My Life. Dear Lord.
SO I've been in school for 2-ish week. If my classes don't get easier I can foresee my head blowing up. I mean my goodness. 15 credits but they're all pretty much 200/300 level classes. Not to mention that my social life is pretty much out the window. Ohh man. Guy, I could use some prayers. Thanks.

New year, New Me
Wow. SO that was the best summer of my life. And I have a verse to describe it:
PHILIPPIANS 4: 13
"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME."
I mean wow. I don't think I can ever go back to who I was before camp. And now i'm back in Winona and happy as can be! :)

I'm Not Moving
I'm listening to a mash up of For the First time and Man who can't be moved. SO GOOD.
Anyway, it's been over a month since I've posted and it's mostly because I work from 7am to about 1am every day at camp. but no complaints, I love it! <3 I am not kidding, I am so blessed to be here. I get to be in Winona -which is beautiful in itself because of the bluffs and all- then I get to come here -which is just as amazing. Wow. SO I really don't have a point to this post, except to say that I am doing fantastic :)

Memorial Weekend
Hey all, I know it's been a while since an actual post.
I'm officially a sophomore in college! That's so weird to say. It seems like I JUST graduated from high school; time flies when you're having fun! :) Now I'm just chilling at mere's cabin. It's actually nice out today! I go to camp in two days and man am I excited. I know it's a job, but I can still be excited! Of course I am a little nervous, but I will get over it :) My mind is just going and going about what I have to pack and what I going to need and AHHHHH!! Hahahahaha. Anyway, Im kind of bored. Mere's at work so I'm just chilling, it is really relaxing though.
"We could have had it all, rolling in the deep. you had my heart inside your hand and you played it to the beat."
That's what I was listening too.. now it's Miley Cryus. Eck. Now Maroon 5. Ok im going to stop now.
Have a good summer all :)

Vocabulary
"Quit" has never really been in my vocabulary since college, I quit a lot of stuff in high school. The only thing in college I dropped out of was anatomy, because I was doing horrible and didn't need. it. I feel like quitting, right now. Quitting everything. My extracurriculars are consuming my life way more than they should. I don't get enough or good enough sleep. I am still kind of sick and I'm trying to get better but i am going no where. I'm trying to not get behind in classes but I need my grades to stay up and it's becoming too much. All I want to do is lay in bed and sleep. Every time I think about what I have to do that day, or that week, I want to cry. No joke. Tomorrow: class, advising, meeting, homework, upac meeting, bake sale, meeting, more homework, some sleep. I literally do not get a break. Wednesday: class, homework, class, test, meeting, homework, maybe sleep. Thursday: upac hour, class, meeting, homework, mugshots till late, homework, maybe sleep. Friday: class, homework, and then I have a number of thing I need to be at that are all at the SAME BASIC TIME.
I am spreading myself way too thin, now I want to quit. I can't thought, I can't quit.
Another thing, boys suck. Period. End of discussion.

Communicative Arts and Literature
That's my major. I am a communicative arts and literature teaching candidate. I want to teach high school English. And I thought I had seen some bad teacher, like my physics teacher from high school. Then I got to WSU. Every teacher I've had so far, has been really good.
I was so excited for this semester because I have classes that i like and am good at, except geology. And I got to my English class... then, nothing. Absolutely nothing. He is boring, and we do nothing in class. If he is lecturing or doing a presentation he reads off the screen but AT the screen, not at us. His explanations for papers and homework is minimal to none. Like this final paper, I don't understand it at all. it's frustrating. Because I need to know what to do if you want me to do something. A rubric would be nice, or some guideline. But no. Nothing.
The main point of this is to say that I will NEVER BE A TEACHER LIKE HIM.
ANYWAY. On to something more interesting, I found a new favorite website. It's called dearblankpleaseblank. Here's an example:
Dear religious homophobes,
What happened to "love thy neighbor as thy self"?
Sincerely, an accepting Christian
And I feel sick today, so I am going to go take a nap.
""I know it seems hard sometimes, but remember one thing, through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it gets, keep your chest out, keep your head up and handle it."

APRIL FOOLS!
But seriously. haha well first off I want to say a big huge...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
to the best brother every! haha Patrick, I am so proud of you and the man you are becoming. And just remember, even if you have your permit I am not driving with you. Because you shouldn't be old enough to be GETTING your permit. I feel old. Also, congratulations on making the "A" lacrosse team, you have worked so hard to get where you are and you fully deserve it!
Anyway. I am really glad this week is over. I mean truly VERY glad! :) I had a geology project that was due today that I finished up last night, I was kind of worried about it but it turned out really well in the end. And I didn't have any tests or anything this week, WHICH WAS SUPER NICE! :D And my friend might be my 4th roommate next year so we are going to look at the apartment together today. Alyssa, I'm super excited! It'd be so fun if we got to live together! haha I'm excited for Mark and Kendra to meet you :P
This is going to be a short post, but oh well. I'm really excited to go home for Easter. Mostly because I miss my family but ALSO because we are going to a Twins game! :D I love me some Twins :P That was great English. So I register for this fall on the 15th. at noon. Which is basically the LAST session for registration. I hate this! I'm taking 18 credits this semester and I am STILL one of the last "to-be" sophomores to register? I'm sorry but that just doesn't seem right to me. Whatever. I'll be fine. Speaking of classes, if all goes well will be able to apply for my program in fall semester meaning i will START in Spring semester. I am super excited. And most of the classes I am taking are English classes. Like intro. to creative writing. Hello?? Does that not just scream my name? :D
Dynamic Earth is starting soon so I should probably get off this, Dr. Johnson hates when people are on their laptops in class. Eh.

FAITH
excuse me while I go on a little rant:
It takes faith. Knowing there is something powerful out there, knowing there is a God, takes faith. The sheer definition of faith is "a strong belief is a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny." Maybe you haven't had the experience that proves to you that there is a God, but ignorance is not the only answer. Ignorance is defined as "lack of knowledge or education." So educate yourself. Learn about the religion that you are so against, and learn it in a modern view. Christians no longer stone sinners or behead adulterers; we are not evil or mean. The way I view religion is that it is different to everyone. You can believe that there is something, but you just don't know what. You can believe that there is nothing, and that's fine too. You can be a complete bible thumper like the girls in my geology class, but that's cool too. It's all up to you, no one is shoving their beliefs down anyones throats. Believe that cows are sacred, or that you have to go to the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia to pray in unison, or believe that you are stuck in purgatory until you debt is paid, or you have to kneel within the service. It doesn't matter. We all believe in something. And if you don't that's cool. But please, do not go around preaching about how you are going to burn in hell because you do not believe in anything.
There's a reason I have faith tattooed on my hip. Because it means something to me, and it will always be a part of my life. So do not question my intention in my faith when you have none.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

hearts, hugs, and squeaks
hey all!
Wow last week was busy! But we had our spring concert on friday which was AMAZING! We had The Band Perry, Thompson Square, and a local opener called Trusted Stranger. It was a great concert! The stage was set up thursday night (i had class:/), and then more set up continued on friday. We were there at noon and left around 1 then came back and left and then came back at 4 to meet The Band Perry. THEY ARE SO NICE!! :) haha they signed my event pass and called me lovely lady, and they called Alisha pretty girl. Alisha and I did wristbands (so people could get in and out) from 6:30 to about 8:15 and then we got to go watch. Most of UPAC ended up on the side of the stage, it was super fun because we were SO close!

It doesn't look that close, but one step to my right and I was on the stairs to go on stage! It went really well and everyone loved the show!
And yesterday I was lazy all day which was super nice because my week had been super crazy. Kind of like how this week is going to be, but not as bad. SPeaking of which, this week will be busy. Especially tuesday, thursday and friday, so I probably will not update again until wednesday or saturday. :P haha life of a college student, right?
OHH!! I GOT STAFF AT SPIRIT IN THE PINES :) FOr those of you that don't know, it's a camp that my church owns/runs. I was a counselor/CIT there for 3 years and now I get to be there ALL summer! :)

6 Months Later..
I was listening to the song from Glee last week, called "Get It Right". It inspired me to write this.
I never quite know what to say anymore. I keep trying to find a way to say goodbye to you, but I can never bring myself to do it. I need this closure. I need an end. So goodbye.
Goodbye to all the laughs.
Goodbye to all the memories.
Goodbye to all my letter and poems.
Goodbye to the smiles from then.
Goodbye to the nights I spent crying over you.
Goodbye to all the tears.
Goodbye to the pain.
Goodbye to all my prayers about you.
Goodbye to what I thought was LOVE.
That wasn't love. You don't treat someone you love like that. You wouldn't do what you did to me, to someone you love. I'm done being pulled along.
I'm done thinking you'll change.
I'm done thinking I was special.
I'm done wishing you were the person I once knew.
You might have been important to me then, but I am fine without you now. So goodbye, because I'm done.

Words Words Words
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW GRUETTNER!
Someone PLEASE tell me that they know where the title is from. Anyone that graduated from EP, or is a senior now, should know because we alllll read the same book!
Haha well anyway, I was at school for maybe 3 hours before I felt all the stress again. It's not fun. But really, this week isn't horrible anymore. My geology test got pushed back to next week, which will then be the death of me. No joke. So much stuff is going on from the 23rd-26th. I feel like my head might explode. This is all part of college, right? Or am I just crazy? Probably parts of both.
OH!! So EP won the boys state hockey championship :) It was a really fun night. After being disappointed with the student body because of the controversial article, they truly redeemed themselves. At least, I believe they did. The boys did really well and deserved the win. Maybe Kyle will even get Mr. Hockey? Who knows. I really wish Winona had hockey. It's almost like I'm going through hockey detox. No me gusta. You would think that WINONA, land of snow and cold, would have hockey. But no. whaaaaaaaat?!?! Ugh.
On a happier note, stats was cancelled today. And I;m going to see "Red Riding Hood" tonight with a bunch of AWESOME people! :) They know who they are. haha GOOFY GOOBERS :D Well, I am going to keep writing my English paper. I just needed a little break, but I have to be productive at some point..

What's up peoples?!
Wednesday (2/22/11):
Hahaha sorry. I'm in a really good mood because my mass communications and society class was cancelled :D Meaning I get to actually finish my homework EARLY! :) Yay for sleep! But anyway.. I've been stressed lately. It's just been a lot to deal with, but oh well :) Tis the price I pay, right?!
Wednesday (3/2/11):
Well I am back in Mass Comm! It doesn't start for almost 15 minutes, but eh. I'm bored. If anyone can guess the name of the song that the title came from, they win a prize :) haha more like a hug, but it still counts, right?! Anyway. I get to go home friday. SO. EXCITED. haha I just need to relax and see my family. But really, there's nothing new. Absolutely nothing. I'm writing a paper in English that I am actually enjoying for once but reading a book that I despise. :) Ah well. It was really funny actually, we went and listened to the Writer speak in class and then we had to write a reflection and tie it to our thoughts on the book. HEHE :D I was not so nice. Oh well. Happens. Aiight ya'll. Time for me to pay attention.

As A Wise Person Once Said
Wow have I been stressed out!!
Well, it has been a while :) let's see.. I got an interview for Spirit in the Pines and I am SUPER excited! and... I got an A on my English paper... anddd... an A on my stats test... and I've been having A LOT of fun with my friends :) Kaitlyn, Alisha, Kasey, Lindsey, Renee and I all went to Lax today :) Alisha has definitely turned me into a bargain shopper :P MY MOTHER WOULD BE SO PROUD! :D haha but other than that there's been nothing exciting.
So. People definitely change in college. I've seen all my friends change, some for the good but most for the bad. It's sad and it sucks. I miss everyone who has changed, whether we go to the same school or not. We used to be so cool and now we barely talk. That'll be fun to explain at parties back in ep, or even at work. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I don't think that those that have truly changed realize how much they have. We're in college. Let's talk out what wrong, not ignore each other. Ignoring problems, our own or with each other, makes them worse. So can we deal with this, please? Thanks.

Woah
Thursday:
So lately I've been feeling kind of just down and whatever. I thought it was just because I was sick and missing home, and maybe it was. But today I wrote. I haven't written anything in almost a year, I just haven't had inspiration. For some reason I did today. Six poems and one song later I feel a lot better. I'm actually happy. I don't know if anyone can understand this but I actually can smile without feeling like it's not right. And you know what else, I read my bible today. And prayed. I think I'm finally getting on the right track :)
Saturday:
I went home for the weekend, and now I'm getting crap for not posting! haha how sad. It was Alisha's birthday yesterday, that was fun :) Especiall the staying up until midnight to dance to Freak The Freak Out. :) I really hope she's having a good weekend! She definitely deserves it. I get to see my friend Emily tonight... I haven't seen her in so long! Anyway, my parents have been great :) Sometimes it takes a while to realize how much you miss home. :)

Floor Debacle
There's a girl on my floor that keeps posting things about the packers. Then people erase it or comment or something, and it starts all over. It's quite entertaining. If we were all just respectful to everyone about their beliefs, and I mean this for anything, we would all get along better. ahem *cough* what?
Anyway. Classes are driving me up a wall. And I'm feeling super stressed. And I can't sleep. And yeah, it's no fun. Oh well, what'cha gonna do, eh? haha I'm so happy today is friday. Stats got cancelled so I only have 2 classes and then movie trivia tonight. I hope we're done in time so I can workout. I just want to sleep in on saturday, but I have a lot of homework and stuff I have to do because I won't have sunday night to do it. Argh. And my big is sick :/
On a brighter note, it's friday! And Alisha birthday is in a week. And I get to see my family in 2 weeks. And... And.. I should hopefully hear about Spirit In The Pines soon.. but I'm kinda nervous. And.. did I mention it's friday? And there's a phi theta chi thing this sunday where we decide if we want to pledge or not. At least, I THINK that's what it is. We truly don't get many details.
alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, iota, kapppa, lambda, mu, nu, xi, omicron, pi, rho, sigma, tau, upsilon, phi, chi, psi, omega :D
I'm sorry but this is going to be a VERY lame entry. Just feeling kind of slow and down lately, but I am sure i will pick up.

Welcome to True Minnesota
TODAY WAS GREAT :D
Except for the weather, what the heck was up with that?!?! Hehehe well wow, a lot of stuff happened. I had 3 classes, and I swear that Stark 103 had no heat. It . Was. Freezing. But that went well, I mean there's nothing new; it is school anyway. But then Alisha, Dani and I went to target and maurices and OMG SALES!! haha I am such a girl, but they were having a great sale where i got a shirt for almost 80% off. So fantastic. And then a bunch of us (Lindsey, Alisha, Dani, Kacey, Britt, Ashley and I) all went to Pi Lambs for a rush deal. I don't know how much I am truly allowed to say but it's so great :) I'm so excited to see what happens this weekend, they won't give us details. Oh well. Tonight we are just watching movies and doing homework and being lazy; perfect night.
To all that don't know her, this is Alisha. She's my best friend :)

Be An Optimist Prime :)
'Ello!
There's a sign in the UPAC office, and it says "Be an optimist prime, not a negatron." Best. Sign. Ever. Anyway, UPAC was.. well.. basically you sit in the office while listening to music and do homework. It's my "productive hour".
I actually learned something in class today. It was great! haha :) In personal and community health lab we were discussing the difference between male and female wellness. Did you know that teenage males are 10 times more like to have ADD? And teenage females are two times more likely to have an eating disorder? Also, women are twice as likely to develop depression; while males are five times more likely to become and alcoholic. It's crazy how much you learn in random classes. And the professor loved to pick on my friend Tracy and I. We had to try to memorize 20 names in 5 minutes, which was pretty hard because they're all different, and Tracy and I were talking so she jokingly called us cheaters. Long story short we are now the cheating twins. My goodness I love college classes.
In mugshots we had to create fake posters for "Bananas in Pajamas"... it definitely came out the way you would expect it from college students. Wow.. I just said that.. Anywho.. we now have to come up with ideas for our own mugshots that we put on. I was thinking valentines day, carnival, nerdy night, 60's, inside out, murder mystery/ clue, wild west or rock n' roll. Any ideas? For those that don't know, mugshots is live music that we have every thursday night and the class puts on 3 of their ideas.
** BLONDE MOMENT: i almost asked Sydnee if there was a time difference between her and I. I'm in Winona and she's in Eden Prairie. wow...

Let's Play Catch-Up
Hey all :)
My friend Kayla made a blog for her family and whoever to keep in touch with what she's doing and I think she's brilliant. I know that I don't get to talk to everybody all the time; I only get to see some of you when I am home. SO this is my solution. I will update every few days or so just so you know what's going on.
MY DAY:
Today I had class from 9-12 which wasn't bad. Then I did homework and hung out with the sorority I'm pledging for :) For those of you that don't know, I have been attending rush events for Phi Theta Chi (a local sorority and i LOVE IT). I might go to Delta Phi Epsilon next week, but it all depends on how this week turns out. Tonights activity was socializing with the TKE's (a frat) and eating grilled cheese and drinking hot chocolate. It was super fun :) All the sisters are really nice and accepting, like how high school should have been!! I mean, what? Anyway, so I did that then went to a karaoke bar with a BUNCH of friends. It was so great :) Then I finished homework. It was a fantastic day :)
For those of you that don't know about my spring semester, here's an update:
I am taking 18 credits this semester. The classes I am taking are Stats, geology, mass communication, personal and community health, English and mugshots. I am also a member of UPAC (university programing activities committee, we plan concerts and comedians and such), and am now rushing for a sorority. I have about an hour of homework for most of my classes.. if not 2-3 for my labs and once a week classes. I love being busy because it forces me to manage my time well!
As for roommates, i love them. Alisha is my best friend. Next year I am living in an apartment with my friends Kendra, Sam and Mark. It's pretty nice and I'm excited :)
Anyway, I should get to bed because I have office hours in the morning for UPAC. Love you all :)
