Sorry it's been a while...

Sorry it's been a while since I have blogged! I have been entirely too busy, but I am enjoying it!
Last week was Fall Break, so I had a chance to go home and spend time with family. It was awesome :) I got a new tattoo on my ribs. It hurt terribly, but it was totally worth it. The tattoo is of 5 birds (geese to be exact). It represents my five family members who have encouraged me, and stuck by me through thick and thin during my college experience. The reason why I chose geese over any other bird is because I live on a farm with my family and we have tons of geese! :)

Anyways, I was on Fall Break, but came back to school early to do volunteer work all day on Saturday with my housemate, Becca Uber. Early on Saturday morning, we volunteered at the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. Then, later on during the day, we drove to the James River State Park and volunteered at a Haunted Hayride. We got to dress up in scary costumes and scare people, it was fun! :) So yes, I spent an entire Saturday of my Fall Break doing Community Service, and I enjoyed every minute of it!!

Since Saturday, I have been staying busy with studying and homework. I added a new class that's called Advanced Career Development. It is a course to help with resume building, finding a job, mock interviews, etc. I am actually very excited for the class :) Hopefully it will give me special tips in order to find a great job out of college!
Speaking of, I need a job! I graduate in May and I am looking for an entry-level job, specifically in Public Relations. If anyone has any ideas, send them my way :)

At this very minute I am looking at a ripped out page in a magazine that I taped to my wall; it goes along with the "live, laugh, love" theme. The page says (in bright colors and bold fonts) "Live the life you want". What a great quote!! :) Live the life you want for yourself. Don't make choices based on friends, family, a boyfriend or girlfriend. Make decisions for yourself, and stay true to yourself. Live the life you want. Do you want to be a teacher? Then be it. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
I can totally vouch for this. When coming to college, my mother (sorry mom) wanted me to major in the medical field. I told her I didn't want to, however I still looked into it. I wanted to make her happy. Afterall, she was paying for my tuition. I looked into it, but it wasn't for me. I don't enjoy that stuff. I don't want to be a nurse, I don't want to be a doctor. At the time, I was taking a Communications General Education course and loved it. So, I decided to take more Communication courses, and here I am. A senior majoring in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations/Journalism and I LOVE it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. So although my mother wanted me to become a nurse, I did want I wanted to do. I lived the life I wanted, and I love it.

So, my lesson for you is to live the life YOU want and along the way, don't forget to live, laugh and love :)

Today is going to be a good day :)

Well hello again,
Sorry I missed yesterday, I was super busy!
Last time I blogged, I was supposed to be studying for a midterm. I took the midterm yesterday morning, and I'm pretty sure I got an A :) yayyy!!
As I'm writing this blog right now, I am talking to my mom on the phone. She is going to a huge benefit party tonight for the Alzheimer's Association and she is asking me what to wear. When I was in high school, I used to pick her outfits for her but now that I am in college, I can't :( It's pretty sad, so at this very instant I am receiving a picture message from my mom with the outfit she has picked out for herself. It's cute! Good job mom :) I'm proud of you!! Have fun tonight!

Anyways, the reason why I say today is going to be a good day is because I have already decided that it is going to be! When I woke up I said to myself, "Today is going to be a good day!" So there, it's done! Today will be a good day because I have already decided that. Nothing will change my mind, nothing will bring me down!

Okay..so I started writing this blog at 12 o'clock today, and it's now almost 2:30. The reason why it's taking me so long is becuase its a gorgeous day out and me and my friends went shopping a little bit :) Now, I'm going to jump in the shower and go to a soccer game, then hang out with my friends tonight and have a goooooood night!

Just like the Black Eyed Peas say, tonight's going to be a good night :)



Don't forget to live laugh & love!

First blog everrrr!

Hello all!
So, this is my first blog. I really have no idea how to write one of these things, so I'm going to tell you a little about myself..bare with me!
I was in class this morning and my professor was talking to us about blogs. He asked if any of us followed a blogger, and pretty much everyone said no. So, I figured I would start a blog so hopefully people can start following me!

I wish all of you could see my housemates right now. I live with 5 other girls, all seniors and juniors. Right now, I am sitting in the living room with two of them. I am in a class with one of my housemates, and we have a huge midterm tomorrow (yet I am writing this blog instead). She is sitting on the sofa beside me calling me questions from the study guide. I don't know any of the answers. I'm probably pissing her off, but I don't mean to. (sorry!!)
My other housemate is trying to cook while slightly intoxicated. She is singing to herself, pretending like no one is listening. She is also whistling as loud as she can. She has no idea she is bothering us, but that's okay. She makes me laugh :)

As you see, my blog is called live, laugh, love. Although these words are very original, they really do have a great meaning behind them. Just sit and think about them for a second......


Did you think about them?
Good!

I wouldn't want to live my life any other way. I want to live, laugh and love and that's how I plan on spending the rest of my life. I make the best out of every situation, I live every moment as if it were my last, and I will love. Love my friends, my family, love everyone!
So I guess I should probably start studying now for my midterm now. I hope you enjoyed this blog! I will be sure to write again tomorrow :)


Remember to live, laugh & love.
