There is a candle pass at 9 tonight!!!

Which means one of my sisters in getting lavaliered or is ENGAGED!!!

i had the best valentines day in a long time

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:15:16 GMT

and i have a feeling i have a lot of good days ahead :)

I cried when they dropped me off here and I'm going to cry when they come to pick me up.

College is when you meet the people you can't believe you lived without <3 We came as strangers, became friends and will leave as family.

Time to pull out the Grey's quotes.

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 06:18:15 GMT

“Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.”

It's weird how starting a new life makes you think you're invincible. Like nothing can hurt you. And then one day you wake up and realize you were wrong. It's even weirder when you're the happiest you've ever been in your whole life, even when a huge 4 years of your life is over. When you don't know whether you're crying sad or happy tears, or both... you just know that you can't stop crying.

I feel like my fairytale is coming true. Everything I've ever wanted is right here in front of me, and everything I used to want is right behind me and I don't want to look back. My life has played out just how it should. And here I stand less than a year later, a completely changed person. I'm the person I've always wanted to be, the person a lot of people wanted me to be. A daughter who can make her parents proud. An aunt who can be a positive role model instead of a negative one.

Life is so odd. You lose one of the most important things in your life. You gain 55 new very important things. But no matter how happy you are, there's always the feeling of "wow i wish you could be sharing this with me"

But part of growing up is doing whats best for you and all involved. And sometimes letting go is stronger than holding on.

Even after writing this I can't come to my own conclusion. I feel like dancing in the rain or laughing until I cry. Or running with my nephews. I don't know.

Bad ending but I have nothing else to really say.

haha

I'm just going to let myself be childish for a quick sec....

I wish certain people would keep their word and not be friends with people who have hurt me.

best weekend in a while!

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:30:34 GMT

1. Partied Thursday @ Phi Sigma Phi. Blacked out :)
2. Went to an AKL Party Friday. Didn't drink because I still had a hangover from Thursday. But had fun anyway.
3. Yesterday I saw Legally Blonde the musical @ Michigan State and got Laura Bell Bundy's autograph (the lead) !!!!! then partied with old friends and ate pizza.
4. Today Manzo and Sarah are staying the night with me at EMU and we're...... partying! haha.
5. No class tomorrowwwwww

I think I must be stupid.

First, he was just an acquaintance. I didn't know anything about him except that he was pretty funny.
Then, he was a good friend, and he got a lot more funny and cared about what was best for me and I told him everything.
Now, every time I see him, I feel funny.....

he has a girlfriend. They're celebrating their 1 year today. Shouldn't I be happy for them? Him and I are "just friends"..... right?

So academic probation sucks. I have to do so many freaking study hours!! And fill out things in my binder all the time, go have my professors sign stuff, it just adds stuff to my plate. I know I brought this on myself, but Making someone MORE busy won't help them get better grades. I just feel trapped and stressed now. I can't even go to formal! So I'm hoping I get asked to AKL's???

But at least I can still party on weekends.

And speaking of weekends!! This past one I went to Necto with my sisters on Thursday, which was amazing as is every moment spent with them! Then Friday I partied in Ann Arbor with Dee, Christian, Brandon, Jen, and Marcus. and it was SO much fun. Since I've been at EMU I forgot how fun Ann Arbor can be if you're with the right people!

This coming weekend, I'm going to State to see Legally Blonde the Musical. And I just received great news! The girl who was supposed to play Elle broke her toe, so now LAURA BELL BUNDY is most likely coming back and being in the performance!!!!! (She's the original Elle if you don't know)

I AM SOOO PUMPED. If it's her I'll seriously cry. Well, I'll probably cry anyway, but if it's her it'll just be a lot harder to stop!! :) :) :)

I love Ypsi and the people here and everything about living here and I can't believe I ever survived back home.

Ideas!

My dad suggested transferring to Wayne and driving there everyday. I feel like I'm suffocating. I could never commute. People who commute miss out on the college experience, as corny as that sounds.

I'm 19 years old, I don't want to live at home with my parents. I need to be on my own where I can do what I want, when I want, without having to ask permission.

Plus as much as I love coming home and seeing my family and friends, I love college more. It's just a better atmosphere. I feel more comfortable there. I already have a family there. And I could never leave Delta Zeta. My mom was like "There's a Delta Zeta at Wayne!" But it won't be the same. Wayne is stupid and doesn't let sororities have houses. What if I don't fit in with the DZs there? I love my sisters. They're like 55 of my long lost best friends.

That and I don't want to drive to Detroit.

I'm so excited to go to michigan state in like 12 days to see Legally Blonde the Musical!!!

p.s. Mad Gab is the best game ever invented.

Hello 2009!

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:30:50 GMT

Can I just say that it feels GREAT to not have any problems with who I am right now?

College has changed me into a much better person, I have way too much fun every day, I'm closer with my family, I have the friends I want/need, I'm in a wonderful sorority and have amazing, gorgeous sisters, I have gotten rid of people in my life who don't respect me, I have just enough attention from the guys that I like, I have the best roommate ever, and I still have faith in God! What more could a girl ask for???

The only thing I did wrong this year was not getting great grades. That's my only New Years Resolution! And I'm looking forward to an amazing year!

I love my life.... I'm the luckiest girl alive :)

I hope everyone has a great new year! PARTY HARD OR GO HOME!

sick and tired.

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 20:13:20 GMT

I am so sick of being nice to people for no reason. I hate when you're nice to someone and they aren't nice back. Especially if they are mad for no reason.

All I keep doing is repeating the Delta Zeta Creed over and over in my head to keep from snapping, and reminding myself that I'm being the bigger person.

It feels good to be nice and respect people all the time, but its hard to respect someone when you know they're wrong, and when you know they're not respecting you. I'm so glad I have my sisters to talk about this with or I'd be punching a pillow. haha

Anyway I'm done with exams finally!! And I get to relax/party. Tonight I'm going to dinner with my big brotherrrr kyle :) and we're talking about some stuff. Then tomorrow is Katie and Jen's after finals bash! I'm soooo pumped. Let's get ready to stummmmble :)

Friday is my 19th birthday!!!!!

6 days till my birthday

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 20:04:57 GMT

I wish I could be at EMU with my sisters and everyone :( but at least some people from here are coming clubbing with me and my old friends! :)

I also KNOW that I am going to want to come back to EMU as soon as christmas is over. But I miss my fammm.

I was talking to my mommy about how I was having the worst day ever like 2 days ago and without even asking for it 10 of my friends were texting, calling, or telling me to meet them places so we could talk. And she really made me think when she said "I know probably 3 people from Fraser who would have been there for you."

I always thought I had good friends who cared about me. But I guess my mom is right. Now that I think about it, some of my old friends only cared about themselves, and they hardly were even there when I ASKED them to be.

So I seriously prayed and thanked God for what I have right now, my new friends who never cease to amaze me with how wonderful and caring they are, and those true few from back home who I know I can always count on. It's amazing what He's done for me in the past 6 months. I always wanted to stay with the same group of friends forever. But thank God for unanswered prayers.

Anyway, I got initiated into Delta Zeta last Sunday. It was beautiful, and I cried. My parents also wrote me a letter for the special day, and it was so sweet. They were like "we support you 100% and are so proud of you"

yay!!! I love my life.

Thanksgiving

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:26:23 GMT

I'm Thankful for:

1. What God gives me every single day despite my major screw ups and forgetfulness of Him. Everyone should wake up every morning and thank God for the air that they breathe, and the talents they have, their shelter, the clothes on their backs, the list goes on and on. We wouldn't living if it weren't for Him.
2. My family... every single person, young or old or somewhere in between. Because for 18 years they've been by my side no matter how many times I've screwed up, and besides God there is no better example of unconditional love other than your family.
3. My old friends. (Well, the ones who didn't ditch me when I went to college) Because I have too many memories to count with you guys, and there's no one quite like you at EMU. And you have shown me that although distance keeps us apart, friends are forever close to your heart. And I believe that "TRUE friendship is not being inseparable. it's being separated and nothing changes."
4. My new friends. There are no words to explain how tight of bonds we have formed in so little time. They make me actually sad to come home for breaks like this.
5. DELTA ZETA is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me.
6. Opportunity. to be where I am today, to have an education, to be somewhat financially stable, to be healthy, to be HAPPY!

Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow!!

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 04:01:40 GMT

Yay! I get to see my family and my nephewssss. :)

A few things have happened.
1. I got over a guy real fast when I realized he was wrong for me.
2. I met 2 more amazing ones :)
3. I got my big sister, the one I wanted!! Alli Sheppard, the most amazing human being ever created.
4. Serenading with Delta Zeta was a blast.
5. I passed my Delta Zeta new member test with 100%
6. I'm insanely happy with life.
7. I get to see Steph, Leah, Christina, and Shawn!!

One thing I'm nervous about is I'm afraid I'm going to go back to Fraser for 4 days and be homesick for EMU.

cuz when i arrive, i bring the fire :)

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 05:00:10 GMT

18 days till I find out who my big sister is!!!!!

My classes got cancelled for tomorrow so all I have is choir! :)

I had a Philanthropy Committee meeting tonight and it was fun. A few night ago I went to Ann Arbor with Katie, Kiki, and Lawrence and we just took random pictures and talked to random people and it was sooo funny.

Last night I was dumb and stayed at the Alpha Kappa Lambda House until 4 in the morning watching movies. :)

The guy I like is confusing, to the point where it is humorous. But I laugh at everything.

I love my friends and miss my family!

We had to write personal values statements for Delta Zeta and this is mine:

"I value my family because they have always been there for me, my friends because they are there when my family can’t be, respect for all people, no matter their differences, integrity, wisdom, and most of all kindness because I believe it can change the world."

It's so weird because 4 or 5 months ago I would never have thought that my statement would look like this. It would been like "I value alcohol and I'm really mean to my parents even thought they spend all their money on me."

hahaha

I'm coming home this weekend for Racquel, Mindy, and the twins' birthday party. I probably will see Steph cuz I always do when I come home. And definitely Leah and Christina because I didn't see them last time. And maybe Shawn. yayyyy

hell yeaaaaah greek life!

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 08:00:17 GMT

You know those parties you see on tv where its the best party on campus and its crazy and you have to be in a sorority or fraternity to get in?

i was just freakin at one!!!! you will never understand how awesome it feels to be a part of greek life unless you experience it.

p.s. Kyle is my big brother!! Which makes me and Mike twins!!!

so I'm stupid..

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 15:58:31 GMT

and locked my keys and my phone in my car... again. and now my dad has to come up here and get me.... this is sooo dumb. i feel like the biggest idiot ever, and i know this is such a small thing and it's really not a big deal but I feel like I just let my parents down, and myself down because college is supposed to make you grow up, but I didn't start locking my keys in my car till I got here.

Idk... its just one more thing my dad should not have to do for me.

I don't know why I'm so emotional today. My night was amazing yesterday and today falls down a big huge shithole.

I wish I could call some of my sisters but my phone is locked in my car. :(

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 13:48:15 GMT

I went to a CRAZZZYYYY ASS party last night. it was freaking insane. i loved it.

the highlight of my week was that party, and the highlight of the party was dancing to Spice Girls while wasted :)

and things are going reallllyyyy good with the guy :)

I'm goin home for the night. yay! peace up, fray-town down. damn i miss sayin' that haha

October

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:00:28 GMT

I love fall, it's beautiful on campus. I've never seen so many pretty trees in my life. It's been freezing the past few days, though.

I went shopping and I bought like 5 new things, including the most adorable shirt everrr.

My social life is at an all time high right now. My new member period in Delta Zeta is amazing. I just feel so on top of the world. I just keep meeting tons and tons of new people. The parties I go to on Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays are awesome. Football games are a blast, (even though our team sucks) haha. I am away from some of the people who are not good for me, and still talk to those who are often. College has changed me soooo much and made me realize that none of the stuff from high school matters at all. It's all petty, and unimportant, and you can be so much happier if you just brush drama off. You don't let people disrespect you, but you don't have to bitch people out to resolve conflicts. There truly is something called being the bigger person, and it really pays off more than you realize. I am so much happier and at peace with the world and everyone around me. I think college really helps you grow and understand and relate to other people more. Kindness really can change your life. Because even if someone doesn't care about you, or says rude things, you have the satisfaction of knowing that at the end of the day, you are the better person because you didn't retaliate or say harsh words. And not only is it helping yourself, it's helping the other person, too, because they aren't getting yelled at/judged.

Anger is such a wasted emotion, and hate is such a wasted emotion. Hating someone takes so much more energy than just loving everyone no matter what. (I mean love as in the way you treat people, not love them like family or friends, because there are still people I meet that I don't really care for, but I treat them exactly how I would want them to treat me.)

My new mottos are "If you see someone without a smile, give them yours" and "You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give."

Last night a saw a girl who had dropped everything on the ground, including her tiny little dog. Her dog started having a seizure, and she was really upset. I could have walked right by. Instead I went over to her and asked if she needed help. I carried her bags while she carried her dog, and she was soooo thankful for my help. It just made me feel so good that I made a difference in one person's day.

I heard some people at home were hurt by some of their old friends not talking to them anymore. It doesn't mean we don't care, we are just so busy growing and changing for the better. Sometimes you need to get away from what you're used to in order to really change and become a better person. You guys should just realize that just like you are moving on with your lives we are moving on with ours, we love you, don't worry... just try to be happy for us, please, because this transition in our lives will be a lot easier with your support.

And college isn't hard for me at all. Some assignments are time consuming but mostly it's really easy. Some of my classes are really interesting, others are boring. I absolutely love choir. We are sooo good. We had our first concert Friday night and it went so well. Trevor, my parents, and sister came to see it.

I also like this guy a lot. He's in a Fraternity and he's really funny, and cute, and just a really nice guy.

Anyway, I've gotta get going, I'm at the hospital waiting for Naomi, cuz I had to drive her here since she either has mono or something else really bad.

Stuff

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:57:20 GMT

So lately all of my days blur together. haha... It's really weird. I didn't really go to class last week. I knew I should have been there, but I just kept not going, and making excuses not to. Which is fine, I didn't miss much and I'm going to class this week :)

Naomi and I bought kinda matching Halloween costumes. They are the cutest thing you will ever see. She's a bumble bee and I'm a ladybug. They're kinda slutty... but we love them. :)

Everyone has pointed out to me that I have weird taste in guys. It's true, to an extent. I'm friends with some guys who are hotter than any actor in Hollywood, but I feel nothing towards them. I don't know why. Then there are the guys that I do like, who are cute, but definitely not as hot as some of the other ones I know. And I never like a guy who likes me. Oh well, I'm having fun and that's all that really matters.

The guy who most recently was an asshole to me is all the way n the other side of the country, thank God. I hope I never see his face again, and I also hope he knows that I haven't even cried, and my life is better without him. He got in the way of me getting what I wanted once and it will NEVER happen again. I'm way too smart for that. Once a player, always a player and being a player makes you a bad person.... I don't care what anyone says.

I need genuine good people in my life. There is no drama anymore because I don't allow myself to be around it. And players are drama. So siyanara, sucker.

I feel myself changing still... I like it.

p.s. Happy Birthday Leah!

Today

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:45:28 GMT

Starts sorority recruitment! I'm so excited.

I think I did really good on my speech today. College is the best thing ever invented.

Why is that people here, who are the same age as people back home, don't get mad and take everything so seriously? I have seriously discovered a world with no drama! For those of you back home who talk behind my back.... go to hell, I am far away from your drama so get me out of it. How come you don't realize that by talking behind my back it makes you the bad person and the bitch. Why do you think you never keep best friends for more than a few months?

On the best friend subject.... Steph, you had a good way of putting it in your last entry. I'm in the process of getting new really super close best friends cuz I don't live near my old ones anymore. It is funny to think about how we all truly thought BFF meant best friends forever though. In high school it means "best friends till we move away from each other" lol But it was still so good to see you. I think when we hang out its like we're still close, I guess it's just cool lol. Idk what the point I'm trying to make is.

But I love my new best friends... I love my new life. We already have our traditions, inside jokes, and all that stuff. It's pretty weird how fast you can get close to someone.

And Brad did the first asshole thing he has ever done probably in the whole time I've liked him... I would think that if someone means a lot to you alcohol won't be more important than them. Especially since it was the last time you get to see them in probably 5 months or more.

Today

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:28:57 GMT

was the choir retreat... it ended up being really cool. :)

But I have never been so happy to be back somewhere. It was hard to leave my parents cuz they were crying... but once I got on the road I felt so free again.

And I got home, and now I'm with my best friend Naomi :)

I'm home

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 15:02:30 GMT

It feels really weird, but it's so nice to see everyone.

I went on a date with Brad last night, and it was amazing. It's really sad that he's in the marines... that's like the only reason we ever broke up. And I miss him. He's perfect. I couldn't wait to see him. I'm going to hang out with him tonight again I think.... :) But Now I'll just have to wonder when he can come home next..

My parents are so happy to see me... they keep crying lol. I feel like they're going to continue crying throughout this whole year.

Anyway I'm going to see my nephews now... can't wait to be back at college!
