Friday, June 26 2015 was a day in history that affected every single one of us. Some were dismayed and others filled with joy that they could finally marry their soulmate. Why such division? The United States of America has made gay marriage legal throughout all 50 states!<br /><br />Where do I stand on this? Many probably think that since I'm a Christian, I would be opposed to this. On the contrary; I'm pro gay marriage.<br /><br />Before you stop reading, thinking this is a blog post trying to change your mind one way or another, it's not. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and should respect others. One shouldn't grab their Bible and start shouting verses and condemning one to hell, and others should respect that some are in disagreement with the Supreme Court's decision.<br /><br />So why the blog post? </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, 'Segoe UI', Meiryo, 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft JhengHei UI', 'Malgun Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I believe love always wins.<br /><br />If you're Christian, I have a question for you...<br />"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone" John 8:7<br />Who are you to judge? If you believe gay marriage is a sin: since all sin is equal, aren't you just as much of a sinner? What makes you feel more entitled to judge, if the only one that is to judge is God? Our all-loving God. Same to those who are pro gay marriage: Why judge those who traditions go against it?<br /><br />God calls each and every single one of us to love one another. It is our greatest commandment. Whether we are in disagreement or not.<br />Our world would work so smoothly is there wasn't conflict, but there have been disagreements since the beginning of time. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, 'Segoe UI', Meiryo, 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft JhengHei UI', 'Malgun Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />So whether you have more of a traditional view or not, in 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Paul says "if I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give over my body to the poor and give my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing."<br /><br />Why then are we attacking one another?<br /><br />As much as we think we know as humans, our knowledge isn't capable of understanding how life exists. No matter how close we think we are to finding answers, we always cross paths with something that brings even more questions. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, 'Segoe UI', Meiryo, 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft JhengHei UI', 'Malgun Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />We will never truly see clearly until the day we die and enter the kingdom of heaven.<br /><br />To those who oppose gay marriage: Jesus, instead of using his words to condemn tax collectors, prostitutes, thieves, etc... went to them and loved them. He brought them all together to have a meal with Him, not to tell them how wrong they are or how they are going to hell, but to share his love with every single one of them.<br /><br />Many of you will probably be in disagreement when I say that I believe in gay marriage, but one thing you can't disagree with is that we are all called to share God's love. It's okay to feel dismayed and upset by this. I'm not saying it isn't, especially if it goes against what you've always believed in. But, if you do call yourself a follower, express it by sharing God's love.<br />It's been very upsetting seeing Christians fight against one another, saying how they're right and those who oppose their view are just wrong, and it’s just as upsetting seeing other religions join in. It's okay to believe what you believe, just no need to judge. As I've said throughout this blog post, it is our job to love. So hopefully by now you're getting my point.<br /><br />Today, at church our pastor gave the example of the families in Charleston whose loved ones died from being killed by Dylan Roof. They went to him and forgave him.. Instead of hating him they spread love. To clarify, I'm not comparing Dylan Roof to gay marriage. Not even a little. What I'm trying to say is it must of been so difficult to go up to the person who killed the one you love and forgive them. Instead of fleeing and judging, they went to him and shared love. It goes against what us as humans do. I admire how they spread forgiveness and God's love, showing how love conquers all.<br /><br />So whatever you are, be it a Christian who believes in gay marriage or one who is more on the traditional side, a different religion or someone of no religion at all, gay or straight, bisexual or transgender, rich or poor, female or male:<br /><br />Love conquers all.<br /><br />I wanted to end this blog post with another thing my pastor said. He's more on the traditional side, and even though we have oppose views, we aren't going to sit down judge one another. We will spread love.<br /><br />How do we know if we are spreading love? My pastor said to place your name in the blanks that follow.<br /><br />_____ is patient. ______ is kind. _____ does not envy. does not boast, ___ is not proud. _____ does not dishonor others, ____ is not self seeking, ____ is not easily angered,_____ keeps no record of wrongs. ____ does not delight I'm evil but rejoices with the truth. _____ always protects, always trust, always hopes, always preserves.<br /><br />1 Corinthians 13:4-6<br /><br />I might share or oppose your view when it comes to gay marriage, but hopefully this is one thing we can agree on: Love always wins.</div>

I would give the reasons why I believe in gay marriage, but I do not think it's necessary for this post. If you have questions to why, you're are more than welcomed to email me!</div>

It was 7 A.M. and I was running late for a mini cram session right before my
neuroscience exam. I looked over and saw that I had one Snapple left (one <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">delicious</i> Snapple left). So I grabbed it
and placed it in the net pouch on the side of my backpack. I headed to the
restroom and placed my stuff on the bench outside; when I was done, I swung my
backpack, and in slow motion I saw my last precious Snapple suicide jump from
my backpack to the cold, hard floor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My
beautiful Snapple shattered to pieces on the bathroom floor. The tea and glass slowly
took over half of the community bathroom floor. Watching the puddle spread
across the tile, my heart dropped a little inside. My beloved Snapple (that I was
supposed to be enjoying right before my exam) was dead. After standing there
for a moment, I thought: Is this foreshadowing my exam?<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Probably. <br />
<br />
Why tell y’all this story?<br />
I haven’t been posting on my blog. I know I’ve been slacking, so I thought you
guys would enjoy laughing a little at the mess I’ve been this week. But,
thankfully all my exams are over now, so I can finally start posting! <br />
<br />
Now for the real blog post…. Dun. Dun. DUNNNNNNNNNN.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, this blog post will be a little different. Why?<br />
I’m going to get you guys super pumped for some future blog post that are soon
to come! <br />
You ready?<br />
1) I got some bangs! Yes, I went back to the good old days. Not the Dora phase but
some side bangs! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) I’m going to CALIFORNIA! WOOHOO! I’m super pumped. I’m
going with my best friends Addison, Grace, and Kassidy! <br />
3) I’m going camping… yes, you heard that right. Pam out there in the wild.
I’ve been out in the wild before but definitely not like out there out there to
the point where I’m sleeping outside. I like to consider myself a nice city girl
(and everyone else will back that up).<br />
4) I just wanted to say a small shout out to Mason. Chris, you’re a stud. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5) There’s much, much more that you’ll just have to wait for.
:)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br />
Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you for everyone that has been reading my blog! I reached 3,000 views! :)</div>

No doubt about it. Hence the name of my blog. <br />
<br />
I’m currently on my coffee detox. I guess it can’t be called a “detox” since
I’m limiting myself to one a day. When
it comes to me saying one a day, I mean one container. The size of the
container can range from a medium to a large. Grande or venti in Starbucks
terminology. But, still. It’s one. Right?<br />
<br />
Why am I on this coffee detox? Well, I decided to give up coffee for lent, and
if I don’t start limiting myself to one a day I’ll have withdrawals and die for
sure. <br />
Maybe not die, but it will definitely be a struggle. <br />
<br />
The reason I’m telling you about giving up my delicious, precious coffee is
because I want to explain why. <br />
<br />
When I’m tired, the only thing that I believe can energize me is coffee, which
is in fact true because of the caffeine. But there are other ways in which I
can release some of my “tiredness.” Some of it comes from all the classes and
labs I’m taking and all the studying I have aside of that, which I don’t mind
since I enjoy what I am studying. But at
the same time, I’ve noticed that most of my tiredness doesn’t come from all the
classes or studying that I’m doing (I have my schedule pretty organized) but
from the stress that I put on myself with the question, “What if I don’t get
into OT school after all this studying?” Then there’s the whole, “There’s so
much money going into my education that I don’t want to put it to waste” And we
might as well add in, “If I can’t do this, then what else can I do?” These
questions are constantly running through my head, which stresses me out. And
it’s with all that stress this tiredness takes over. Then, unconsciously, I’m
swiping my card to get some coffee. <br />
<br />
All this might sound just absolutely insane, but it’s true. So, for lent I’m
giving my coffee up. It isn’t to torture myself so that when I have a huge exam,
I can’t stay awake. It’s not anything
like that. No, the reason I’m giving it up is to be able to trust in God fully.
I don’t need to stress out about how, what, when, and how any of my life will
play out. All I need to focus on is the present. <br />
<br />
At this moment, I’m diagnosing myself with “No, I got this God” disorder. This
might sounds kind of ridiculous but it’s so true. Which has me going crazy
since I alone can’t handle it and all this stress is getting to me. Slowly, but
surely. <br />
<br />
I’m not just posting this blog to just spill something personal out there but
it’s to challenge you. Find what you’ve been using as a crutch instead of
leaning on God. Anytime you’re stressing, anytime something is preventing you
from just enjoying life, anytime you are running towards your crutch, take a
moment and lean on God.<br />
<br />
Why God?<br />
Well, God alone is enough. God is the ultimate happiness. When one realizes
that even when you have everything one could possibly want but not a
relationship with God, then everything just seems so useless. But, when you
have nothing but just God, then you have the greatest gift in the world. God
knows who we are and loves us with more love than we can comprehend. Just by letting him take the lead, He will
lead us in the most beautiful dance through our life on earth to our life in
heaven.<br />
<br />
So, what’s your coffee?</span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello my wonderful readers! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Excuse my long absence<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,</span> but I’ve had a
pretty busy week. I had<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> a</span> neuroscience and
chemistry exam on the same day<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,</span>
so I went a bit crazy. Maybe not
just a bit. I think I drank my weight in coffee.<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">.. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyways,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I love Valentine’s Day. So I’m super pumped for this weekend. Why<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,</span> Pamela? <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Don't you know you're</span> single<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">?</span> Yes. This is true but that
doesn’t mean I’ll be “depressed” on this holiday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, be sad eating thousands of pounds of
chocolate while I cry watching [insert chees<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">y</span> chick flick movie here]. Well, I will be eating chocolate
<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">(</span>and a whole bunch of it<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">),</span> but that’s just because I
can<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">. Plus,</span> chocolate makes the
world go around. Anyways, I love this holiday<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">.</span> <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">If</span> you do have a
significant other <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">then</span> you can plan
something really romantic<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,</span> or if you’re
interested in someone then it’s you’re chance to make a move<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">. However,</span> if you don’t, you
can definitely have fun!<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> This year,</span> I’m
spending mine with my closest friends from college<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">,</span> so I’m extremely excited. (It’s a “girls night” but since
guys are coming, we are changing their names to girl names so it fits the
theme). I’ve experience<span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">d</span> Valentine’s Day <span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">from both sides of the relationship
spectrum,</span> and they are both special in completely different ways. So no
need to be sad my single friends!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I decided to make a Valentine’s Day 101 blog post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Let’s start with numero uno….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">1. </span>No being sad. There’s no
need to be sad or bitter that you don’t have someone “special” to spend it
with. Go call some friends and plan something. Valentine’s Day is about
spending with the people you love. Love isn’t just felt with a boyfriend or a
girlfriend but it’s also felt with friends and family! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Pinterest is the way to go… find something complicated and make it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Plan a fancy dinner with your friends and get all dressed
up and go out to eat! (Who doesn’t like to feel good while they eat some food?
I know I do!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

If you have liked someone for a while… go ask
him or her to go out. What’s the worst that can happen? They say no and then
you can throw a Hershey Kiss at their face. Don’t do that. But, if they say no
then it’s totally fine and then you know that they aren’t interested and you
can take the first step to move on. <br />

These were definitely lame tips…<br />

<br />

have someone to spend it with it</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">,</span><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
but it’s only as lonely as you make it. You have the ability to make it the
greatest day ever or a sad night. All depends on your outlook on things. <br />
<br />
So, maybe this is why I love Valentine’s Day.<br />
I have the opportunity to spend it with my friends and family who I love and
that is all that really matters. And, when I do get to spend it with the guy I
like or even the guy who I’ve fallen in love with, then that will be just as
great. </span></span><!--EndFragment-->Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190227102509734603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743191928612161295.post-45784302006530695802015-02-01T20:14:00.001-08:002015-02-01T20:14:26.478-08:00BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell <div class="MsoNormal">
First of all: Thank you Griffin for letting me borrow this book! You’re
seriously the best. :) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Guess what time it is… Book review time! When I started this book (literally
after the first 60 pages), I told everyone about it. Because right from the
beginning, I was so intrigued. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Do I recommend this book? YES. If you’re into learning about the unconscious
mind and learning more about psychology then you should totally check this book
out! I obviously enjoyed it, since I’m a psychology major… and since I’ve
always been so fascinated with human nature. <br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What exactly is this book about?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Predicting whether a marriage will end up in a divorce in three minutes, providing
less information about the patient so doctors are less likely to make a mistake,
analyzing to see whether an “I love you” is truly sincere, having short moments
of autism that can help one react in situations that deal with an attempt of an
assassination, or misjudging situations that end in death. All this is done
through thin slicing; a blink; thinking without knowing that one is. <br />
<br />
Maybe the greatest decision makers aren’t the ones who take time to analyze and
process information. <br />
<br />
You’re going to have to read this book to find out! <br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Before you go on and read my blog post… Remember how there’s an unspoken rule
to never bring up politics, religion, and or sports?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Let me warn you really fast: I’m about to break that
rule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here I go bringing up science and
religion. I wasn’t going to post this, but it’s been taking control of my mind
(Ask my friend Amanda, she’s heard all my speeches), and I haven’t been able to
think of another blog topic because this has been running through my mind 24/7.
I will not be preaching, but I will say I’ve been struggling and overcoming my
struggle. So, if you don’t feel comfortable then you don’t have to read it. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I’ll be posting another post soon!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Since I started college last fall, I’ve fallen in love with science. I used to
always be interested in it, but it wasn’t until college that I started to truly
enjoy it. (Except for physics, I hate physics.) This semester, I’m in a
Neuroscience class, which I thought I wasn’t going to like at first but eventually
led me to consider changing my major.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I know there’s a huge debate between science and religion, but with all the
science classes I’ve taken (whether in high school or college), I’ve never had
that struggle until this class. Why? Well, I don’t know if it’s because
professors and/or teachers tend to skip over the subject or even just briefly
touch on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, in this class… it’s a
little different. From the first class, religion was brought up. It’s not one
of those professor was a Christian and then something terrible happened and
then now he hates God kind of situation, but my professors’ point is that we
can’t simply state something is true without concrete evidence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Their point makes sense. I’m on the pre-health track, so I should have a desire
to understand why things happen so I can fix or prevent them later on. Simply
claiming something a miracle and not wanting to know the cause, other than God,
doesn’t make me suitable for the profession I have chosen. Sound harsh? I know.
Which is why I’ve been struggling with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Anyways, I would walk out of the class frustrated and then walk to my next
class, which was Chapel. Can you imagine how confused I have been? Very. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I went to Neuroscience Lab this week, and can you guess what
the first slides were about? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
“Can science and religion co-exist, or do they naturally oppose each other?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Then next slide goes on saying,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
“If one needs the idea of God to explain natural phenomena, and then science
comes along and identifies natural forces that can explain those same
phenomena, then one’s need for God to exist might very well be challenged.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But isn’t it possible, indeed likely, that the issue of God’s existence is not
at all dependent on our need for Him to exist?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Sounds more like a philosophy class than a neuroscience class, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I started to notice that I didn’t doubt my faith, but I still didn’t feel right
putting on two different faces. One, where I am a believer, and two, only
believing what can be proven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But, then it got me thinking…. Science is a tool that God has given us to get a
glimpse of his creation, a bit more of an understanding. We don’t have answers
to a lot of things, and maybe we never will. It does let us be amazed at how
his creation is simple and perfect. For example, DNA, a simple string of
nucleotide bases that is so similar between all species (from a mouse to an elephant)
but creates such diversity to distinguish them (so dogs will have puppies, and
humans will have babies), is plastic enough to allow change within a certain
species. Crazy right? I just can’t help but smile at this and all the
unbelievable things God makes possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Science hasn’t proven that God doesn’t exist. We might not have “concrete
evidence” that He does, but isn’t that what faith is all about? Science and
religion don’t conflict; together, they help us understand this mystery so much
more. In the future when I have my job, I will be grateful that God gave me the
ability to help those in need with science. Because without it, I would indeed
be lost. <br />
<br />
I believe that science and God can co-exist. What do you believe?<br />
<br />
Let me leave you with a quote that was in my neuroscience lab,<br />
<br />
“No one can stand in these solitudes unmoved, and not feel that there is more
in man than the mere breath of his body” – Charles Darwin<br />
<br />
(By the way, if you’re asking, “What kind of lab is this?” It was only the
first couple slides that talked about this, and then it went on talking about neuroscience
and the biology aspect of it.)<br />

college campus)<br />
<br />
</i>In my University, there’s a lovely tradition called “Ring by Spring.” We’re
all under this time crunch to find the one we are going to be with for the rest
of our lives. Who will be able to find their soul mate by the time spring rolls
around senior year? Some are such over-achieves that they “put a ring on it,”
you might say, even faster than they put on the freshman 15. Now that’s what I
call making use of the limited resources. My friend and I were walking to class
and two guys, who were casually talking about a short girl they had met the
other day and how they were so interested in getting to know her, walked past
us. The words, “I’m short, take me!” slipped out of my friend’s mouth without
even thinking about it. Have we gotten to the point where we will are willing
to take whatever comes our way? Okay, so he was pretty attractive, but my point
still stands. It’s a huge pressure that is always surrounding us, especially
now that we’re at that age where marriage is a possibility. Simply going to
school to get your degree isn’t enough if you don’t have at least one serious
relationship.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">If you haven’t heard my parent’s love story…. <br />
It’s basically a Nicolas Sparks book x 100. So, that being said… I’m a strong
believer one shouldn’t be obsessing over finding their soul mate. I promise,
you won’t be eliminated from the gene pool. But that man of your dreams will
come when you least expect it. My mom always tells me that when I do find the
one, I’ll just know. Till this day, that confuses me; how do I know that I will
know? I guess that means I haven’t found the one yet, or maybe I have but the
timing hasn’t been right. But, since my parents have been married for 20
something years and got married literally a month after knowing each other and
are still madly in love…. I will definitely be taking my mom’s advice! …. And
you should too. <br />
Why did I decide to make a blog post about marriage?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">Well… here’s why.<br />
I have this ideal way I want my life to play out<br />
1) Meet my husband during my undergrad<br />
2) Get into OT school <br />
3) Get engaged<br />
4) Finish OT school<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">5) Find a job<br />
6) Get married<br />
7) Work for a couple years<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria;">8) Travel with my husband<br />
9) Have babies<br />
10) That’s as far as I have planned out…<br />
<br />
But want to know what’s really funny? It will be very unlikely for it to play
out this way because I have no control over it. Only God does. It’s ridiculous
for me to even want to plan my life because everything can change in a heartbeat.
Life is a crazy adventure and I’m extremely excited to see where it takes me.
So, there’s no need to obsess over finding the one because when the time comes,
it comes. (This also doesn’t just have to do with relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It applies to other things in life; we could
have our mind set on something and then the next day something comes and sweeps
us off our feet). I’m currently enjoying spending time with friends and family
and having the privilege to study what I love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t have it any other way. So, when I
do find the “one”, he will be the cherry on top of my already pretty awesome
sundae.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Yes, I do read while I walk. Sounds a bit odd, but if I might add, I've gotten pretty good at it. I haven't even hit a tree, student, car, professor, building, etc. Anyways, let me get back to my story... So, on one of my many adventures to the Science Building, aka my second home (I should probably just build a tent and sleep there), I was reading. Then I came to a sudden stop since I came to a street. I put my book down, looked both ways, crossed the street, and once I had crossed... I picked my book right back up and continued reading.<br />"HEY!" this guy yelled at me.<br />I looked over and then he continued, "Want to know how I got this?"<br />At this moment he was pointing at his limp leg.<br />I asked him, "How?"<br />Then he went to explain on how he had been in a car accident.<div>
"I'm so sorry..." I replied.<br />Then, he asked what my book was called.<br />"This is What Happy Looks Like," I responded.<br />He pointed at his leg.<br />"Do you think this is what happy looks like? Have a nice day," he said...<br />... and disappeared.<br /><br /></div>

Girl's day consisted of getting our nails done at Nails of America in Waco (Recommend this place 100%, best acrylic nails I have ever gotten) and then getting some frozen yogurt! Later, we met up with some other friends and went to the movies. We watched <i>American Sniper</i> and it was such a great movie. It is indeed sad, but it does make you appreciate what soldiers go through fighting for our country. So, if you have debated on going to watch it, go. I promise, you won't regret it.<br /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Jean Shirt: TJ Max<br />Sweater: Forever 21<br />Leggings: Zara<br />Boots: Nordstrom </span></i>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190227102509734603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743191928612161295.post-85585143168686397442015-01-18T17:53:00.002-08:002015-01-18T17:54:12.886-08:00So good, I hate it!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just finished reading <i>This Is What Happy Looks Like</i> by Jennifer E. Smith and let me tell you... I haven't stopped talking about it for the past three hours. Why, you may ask? Bad ending? Well, no... It has a great ending, but I just want more... Maybe two more pages.<br />
That being said, YES, I do 100% recommend this book. If you're looking for a cheesy romance that will have you smiling while you're reading and falling in love with the character, then, yes... go read it now.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The official synopsis of the book is this:</div>
<div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1421632150935_1496" style="border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<i>When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.</i></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1421632150935_1497" style="border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<i>Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs?</i></div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1421632150935_1497" style="border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Cute, right?</div>
<div id="yui_3_8_1_1_1421632150935_1497" style="border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Basically, it's the classic, boy needs pig-sitter, boy-emails-girl-in-Maine, boy-falls-in-love, boy-moves-movie-to-Maine-for-girl love story! :)</div>

What have I been drinking? The most delicious drink ever! I recently found this drink while I was trying to break from my coffee addiction. It's 10 calories and made with coffee fruit! (Which I guess defeats the purpose of my "attempt" of not being as big as a coffee addict, but its all good.) It has 35mg of Natural caffeine, just like a cup of green tea! There are different flavors, but of all I've tried, Malawi Mango is definitely my favorite! :) Indeed a refreshing drink!<br />

We currently don't have tissue so toilet paper does the trick! Always make sure to carry tissues and/or toilet paper to class because you never know when your nose will decide to rebel against you.</div>

LOTS AND LOTS OF TEA. Try for them to be decaffeinated... we definitely recommend Chamomile! Just add a bit off milk and truvia if you're not a big fan of tea.<br />

Last but not least... Fuzzy socks! Fuzzy socks cure everything.</div>
FUN FACT: Most of your body heat is released from your head and your feet. So, that's why you want to where socks while you're inside! Especially if you have tile floors like we do in our room. Also, wear a hat to cover your ears! :)<br />

Finally back in my dorm after a very long day of just overall insanity. For some reason I feel like this semester is going to be life changing. I can't explain why but I just have this feeling. So far, it's been a good start, obviously keeping in mind it has only been the first day. I think the reason why is that I've set goals for myself this semester.<br />1. Sleeping is KEY<br />
2. Meeting new people (Actually introducing myself rather than walking the other way)<br />
3. Coffee is a must but control is also. (5 or 6 cups a day... a bit much...Keeping it more at 2)<br />
4. Not just focusing on studying but on creating memories especially since we still have to live our life and not just live under a textbook.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed" - Sid Caesar</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Having more quiet time in the morning and or at night to be able to escape all the craziness and just focus on all the blessings I have in my life.<br /><br />My over all main goal is to <i>"Dance first". Think Later. It's the natural order." - Samuel Beckett</i><br /><br />(By the way, if you're wondering where I got my awesome socks... the bookstore. Yes, they are extremely soft and once you put them on... your feet will thank you.)</div>

Tomorrow, I start my second semester of college! I'm super excited since I feel like last semester was a complete learning experiencing especially since everything was so new. First college semester, new friends, dorm life (which includes the horrors of community bathrooms), new clubs, new classes, and I can go on forever about how new everything was. But, even though I made a whole bunch of errors, I wouldn't change a thing about it since now I'm well prepared for this one to come. Today, I told myself that I wouldn't pressure myself since it is the day before classes. I got some school supplies, watch Grey's Anatomy (probably way too many episodes but it was definitely worth it!), started reading a romance book called <i>This is what happy looks like</i> by Jennifer E. Smith (once I'm done, I'll post a review), and then had a meet up with some of my friends at the one and only IHop! I'm determined to go to bed early tonight since I have to be up bright and early tomorrow since I have to pick up a couple books before my class starts at 9:05 a.m. Can't wait to see what crazy journey this semester has for me. Only God knows! :)<br />

Yesterday, I celebrated my mom’s early birthday with my family! So, Happy Early
Birthday Mom! Instead of getting the typical cake we ordered a Bundt Cake from
Nothing Bundt Cakes (Which is such a clever name… I love it). It was SOOO
DELICIOUS. I had two slices and was craving another one but then I told myself “CONTROL
PAM. CONTROL”. By the way, I’m a HUGE dessert person… so my mouth was indeed in
heaven while I was eating this. But this also makes me really picky with the kinds of desserts that I
buy… so I definitely give this Chocolate
Chocolate Chip Bundt an A+! The store also has different flavors! (Red Velvet is really good as well!)</span></span><br />
<br />

I decided to dress up a little today since we are celebrating my mom's early birthday and also having a goodbye dinner since I'm headed back to Waco tomorrow. The skirt that I'm wearing I thought I wasn't going to wear much but I've been loving it. Throwing on any sweater, (a creme color looks beautiful) just really makes it look super cute and wintery! Adding in the tights help since it is cold outside. I didn't today but adding in a colored scarf, maybe a mustard color one, would complete the look even more.<br /><br /><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sweater: Banana Republic<br />Skirt: J.

This book is a motivational book turning you into a #GIRLBOSS or just enhancing your inner #GIRLBOSS. Her journey on how her Vintage eBay site turned in to a multi-million dollar company called Nasty Gal. I couldn't stop reading the book, the only breaks I took was just moments of silence taking in all her amazingness. So, if you're looking for a nice easy read with some great motivational tips then you should definitely read this book. (Also, makes one heck of a coffee book.)<br />

</div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Chanel by far has some of my favorite foundations. It is pricey but I feel like splurging on foundation is not a bad thing especially since having the right foundation can make or break your makeup look. One of my favorite foundation and the one that I'm currently using is the Perfection Lumiera Velvet Foundation. The foundation has a sheer coverage that does not feel cakey on the skin. It does last a long time and doesn't slip and slide on your face. I have oily skin and this foundation works great. Don't forget to powder after applying foundation (this goes for any foundation), whether the powder is translucent or not. Helps control the oils and also makes the foundation last longer.The one down side to this foundation is that flash photography will cause a white cast. But, unless you're always being photograph this is a great foundation for everyday use. It also gives you a nice healthy glow and as SPF 15.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been dying for the Naked Basics Palette for way too long and I finally got it! I'm in love with this palette... Many reasons.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">1) The colors are all matte except for one highlight color (Venus)</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2) The palette is small which is great for just throwing in a purse and or makeup bag</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">3) One can create a simple everyday look or a night look</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">4) The mirror is the perfect size</span><br />

thankful eyebrows are in style now. Why? Well, I was naturally born with two forests
on my forehead and now they're seen as a "frame work" for my face.
When I do fill in my or when I'm doing someone else's brows I use Anastasia
Beverly Hills Pomade. I do recommend this product 100%. Yet, I believe it
should come with a label saying, "WARNING: A little goes a VERY long way."
since it does, and if you're not careful then your eyebrows go from being nice
frameworks to a complete disaster. </span></div>

I usually always just get a Vanilla Latte, which indeed is heaven in your mouth but today I decided to be adventurous and stray away from my norm. The Chai Tea Latte... stole my heart!

Went to Charming Charlie today to take my grandma shopping thinking I wasn't going to buy anything... but I ended up finding these super cute things! Two bracelets, necklace, and headband! I'm definitely a sucker for gold rather than sliver! Charming Charlie is the way to go when looking for all kinds of jewelry at cheap prices!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190227102509734603noreply@blogger.com0
