Narrating my life 1

So, I just realized that the last post I did was a semi political on, and I feel kind of bad about it, but I do support it, because it gives you something to think about.

Now I'm in school, College to be exact, I can't believe this is my sophomore year, its so weird, I feel like Ive been here forever, but I only have a year left here then I transfer to a technical University.

Unhappily unemployed, I just can't find anyone to hire me, and thats annoying, I am also being burnt out by kids, which is horrible, because I love kids. But I feel sad, because I shouldn't be burnt out yet. I don't even have my own kids yet.

I am also ruining the movie, The Fault in Our Stars, by reading the book, because I am a boo person, and then I am to read the book Jude by Kate Morgenroth, and I can't wait, I've also been into the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson.

That's my life right now, I might vlog this, but I'm not sure, I'm falling out of love with youtube, I'm unsure.

In the end.

2013 Black Vail Brides wrote a song, In the End. Although I don't find it prophetic, I have noticed that I just step back from everyday life, and wonder how did we get here. Not we as me and my loved ones, but the world. "when did anyone ever think that was a good idea?" "How the hell did they come to that conclusion?" and the classic "why?"

I just got done with learning about Isis, and so on, and then I learned about the present day Isis ordeal, because they are two different things. Isis was the original mother earth goddess, but now that I hear about the current events and have done homework a bit on it, the feelings are not anger, fear, or even me being disgusted. All that comes is a sadness that this is where the human race has gone.

I just got of off my semi weekly Facebook trolling and came across a post title that is stating a separation of the original country of Israel from the UN, true or not, it is a fact that the Jewish people have been on many hit lists in the past. Can we not catch it before it happens again as well as protect our Nations, as well as others, and question what we are leaving for the future generations to come.

Because In the end, what is our legacy? and what are we leaving behind. In the words of Emily from The Ultimate Gift paraphrased "I'm not scared of dying, I'm scared of who I leave behind." this sentence has haunted me for years, and is piercing my heart even now.

Summer, for me, a vampire...

Okay, to be honest, I'm not a vampire, but I joke about it all the time.

The old folk tales about vampires bursting into flames when presented with the sun yet again plagues me, truly it does, because that is what my skin does, burns even under the shortest term of sun exposure.

I have learned to combat this with sunscreen and my shorts and tights look. Well... according to my Mother as well as other friends on Facebook, that is a style tragedy... You can see my problem, I don't  like to conform to anything, but in actuality, I'm trying to decide if its considered appropriate.

I enjoy spending the hottest of days wearing my vertically stripped tight with a pair of cropped jeans to a reasonable length of shorts(about mid thigh). but still, although I love it, I can't help but feel like the modest Avril Lavigne look is not suitable for my life.

Like I said, I do this to protect my sun sensitive skin from the elements.

Something in my head tells me "Don't give an ounce of care for what people think about you!" but I care about people too. (MIXED EMOTIONS!!!!!) I mean, I'm an edgy chick, and love the look, not to mention it helps me in my vampire issues, (seriously, I should be Mavis from Hotel Transylvania in real life, I carry a parasol like Wednesday from Oddities: San Fran, except I'm not goth).

What do y'all think is Shorts and Patterned tights acceptable in 21 century America, 2014??? or should I try to muster up some courage to wear skirts more often? 

Day 4

In the words of my Father, yeasted day 3 of my birthday, if this puzzles you, allow me to explain,
my family is all over, with different schedules and different things on their mind, like most people.
and due to that and having friends with different schedules, My family and I find ourselves celebrating nearly all month long.

I don't mean having a party every day, but for instance, one day you get a card in the mail, and the next, nearly a full week after your birthday you go out with your best friend to dinner and a movie. not to mentions sending out thank you cards to everyone. The day of my birthday, I got up, got coffee, and was sung to with a birthday candle in my smoothie, I was sung to about 10 times that day, because my parents and I go to church, and they decided to sing happy birthday to me in the lobby, in front of everyone.

I got to go out to eat, then went home did laundry, clean my living space, and then went to see Moms' night out with my mom, I finished off the evening with hanging out with my brother and his best friend.

• the saturday before my birthday I got a T-shirt from my aunt, one I picked out myself
• the Friday before my birthday, I received a card from my Grand parents, and went out with a friend and my Mom.
• Day 2, I cleaned a festive area, then was taken out to eat, to shop in junk shops, and to get ice cream.
• Day 3, I went to the secretary of states office, and got a card from my other Grand parents.
• Today, I have no idea what I'll be doing, tomorrow I'm going to be going out with my best friend, dinner and a movie, I have no idea if there are gifts involved, or if the time is the gift.

All I know, is I enjoy birthdays so much more then I did when I was 10.

Becoming a Girl... part 2

I started my last B.A.G. (So ironic lol) post with Growing up...
I almost did that this post, but here we go again.
When I got into the early stages of young womanhood, there were things I didn't know, things I wasn't taught... don't worry this has nothing to do with the lovely lady problems that men don't want to hear about.

My Grandma grew up in a time where there were only 2-3 beauty creams, women wore dresses all the time. Women curled their hair in hot curlers nearly every day, red lipstick was definitly making its mark.
What she didn't know, and didn't teach my Mom was the things I had to figure out by myself. Like how to do eyeliner without looking like you have black eyes, and that applying deodorant more then once a day is a good thing... Facial moisturizer was a mystery to my house, as well as exfoliating your face.

With extended research and youtube videos aiding me, I got better, learned what facial primer was for, and learned the "Proper" way to do makeup. I still don't do my hair if I can get away with it, love the days I go makeup less, and wear sneakers as much as possible. (I stubbed my toe before prom then wore my really high heels, that was three weeks ago and I'm still feeling it.)

I might do more of these blogs, I quite enjoy them.

New morning routine!

So, due to coming back from Spring Break I have reevaluated my morning routine, or lack there of
but here we are and this has worked  for me for the past week. so here you go!

• Wake up, and pull out of your bed
• Exercise 30-45 minutes
• Drink water, hydrate, then get morning coffee
• Shower, get ready for the day
• Eat, if feel up to breakfast
• Disperse!

This may seem excessive, but I've already lost weight, and I feel a lot better the I used to. I recommend it to you, whether it's a morning walk, or doing a work out video. I feel better in the morning, and definitely feel better about myself. Let me know what your favorite workout/routine is in the comments below!

Mac Noob

I've owned a macbook pro for nearly a year, and O my gosh, I find it super high maintenance compared to the PC I used to use regularly a year ago. Things I do in Activities Monitor to make it run better, as well as cleaning up the hard drive often. I use CCleaner, but I'm not sure if it helps, and I tried using CleanMyMac2 and that was rough to say the least, I went back on Youtube and only the thumbnails I search are visible. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to update my system because the Apple accounts require a card number to go with the ID... Am I really missing anything here????
PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
