These days.

Just sitting here in my room, thinking. about everything. 
I have learned over the past 3 years to not trust anyone, because everyone I trusted has ended up stabbing me in the back. 
But as I was talking to one of my sisters in my room just now, and as she walked out she was like, "okay, Im going to go to my room. I love you!"  And I know this is not the first time one of my sisters has said that, but it really made me realize how special my sisters are, and how much they mean to me.  I was telling someone the other day, "I dont know how people have fun if they arent Greek, I mean, what do you do on the weekends with your roommates? or how do you meet people" and of course I know if you arent greek you still have fun, but I honestly dont even understand how someone wouldnt want to go greek.  By joining, you instantly have an awesome group of people there that love you.  Not only do I adore being in Alpha Chi Omega, its pretty much my entire life.  I live it, eat it, and breathe it.  It has been such a huge learning experience, and it has changed me for the better. It has challenged me to be a good leader, to be an example, and has given me the confidence to be who I am no matter what.
Alright, now that I have ranted about how much I love my sorority, its time for bed :)

  And if this post is a little random, I apologize, but its just my thoughts, yet again.

live by this.

Health: 

1.       Drink plenty of water. 
2.       Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. 
3.       Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.. 
4.       Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy 
5.       Make time to pray and read the Bible every day
6.       Play more games 
7.       Read more books than you did in 2010 . 
8.       Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day 
9.       Sleep for 7 hours. 
10.     Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile. 

Personality: 

11.    Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 
12.    Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in positive things, where you can make a difference. 
13.    Don't over do. Know your limits. 
14.    Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does!
15.    Don't waste your precious energy on gossip. 
16.    Dream more while you are awake 
17.    Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.. 
18.    Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with His/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. 
19.    Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. 
20.    Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. 
21.    No one is in charge of your happiness except you. 
22.    Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.  Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. 
23.    Smile and laugh more. 
24.    You don't have to win every argument. It’s ok if you agree to disagree... 

Society: 

25.    Call your family often. 
26.    Each day give something good to others. 
27.    Forgive everyone for everything. 
28.    Spend time w/ people over the age of 70 & under the age of  6. 
29.    Try to make at least three people smile each day. 
30.    What other people think of you is none of your business. 
31.    Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. 

Life: 

32.    Do the right thing! 
33.    Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 
34.    GOD provides healing for everything, in His time.
35.    However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36.    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 
37.    The best is yet to come. 
38.    When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it. 
39.    Happy people live longer. So, be happy.

status, where you are in the popularity contest. 

Im over it.

Im over trying to be friends with people who push me away. 

people who exclude others.  

people who dont like me because of what I do,

what I say, 

or who I am. 

Im going to be friends with people who accept me for the person I am now, was last week, month, whatever, who I will always be. 

Im done. Im so frustrated with it, I left that all behind in high school. 

aparently some people havent.

That isnt what Im about, or what I want to turn into. 

This is one of the reasons I love Alpha Chi Omega so much.

Its something real.

Something that every single woman should or can be.

Love love love. 

Nothing.

I havent blogged since Dec 31st, 2010.  It seems like such a long time ago.
Days have slowed down and seemed like weeks,
and weeks seem like months.
My entire world seemed to shift one step down, and turn into slow motion.  I almost feel like it should be march or april already, and its still January.  I have tried to blog...but I honestly dont know what to say.  Life has fallen back in its same routine, all over again. School, work, sleep. blah blah blah.
Different day, same routine. 
If you are reading/keeping up with my blog...dont worry. haha when I have something awesome or profound to say I guess Ill update it???
Love love love,
me.

Goodbye 2010.

So...Here we go. Goodbye to another year, hello to a new one.  

Heres the last blog post Im sending out for 2010

read it, and love it or hate it!

Honestly, if I look back on it, 2010 was a complete blur.  

I laughed so hard I cried,

and cried until I couldnt anymore.

Went back to where I was born and realized I missed it so much there it hurt.

I had the best summer of my life, and met some of the best friends I could ever have.

and realized that I really need to changed some things in my life.

But just like the rest of my life, it was crazy, beautiful, and a learning experience.

I have alot of plans for the next year.  One of my best friends comes home next december, and I couldnt be happier.  I never realized how awful it was to lose someone who I considered a great friend for two years. 

 but I know I cant say that I didnt have a fantastic year, because I did. The people that surround me, the things that I have, there was so much to love.  2010 was tough, but it really taught me a lot. 

Lets make a toast

see ya next year!
