The end of blogging???

So marks the "end" of my English class requirement of this blog. It has been fun and I hope that you have enjoyed reading the randomness of my thoughts. Yet, I am undecided. Should this mark the end of my blog? Or should I continue with my thoughts on the day?

Either way, I have enjoyed writing these posts. But before i can go here are two sites that you must visit.

1st:  STUMBLEUPON. Literally this site has changed my life as I have found the most random things on the internet. All you do is sign up and put your interests and they will show it. SO visit it.

2nd: REVISIT YOUR MYSPACE HERE! They have changed stuff...and it's always good to revisit old memories, photos, etc. IF you want...you could read mine....it was more interesting before I edited it but I do have some old pictures there its under Blanca Ashley. 

Adios!

OH and P.S. If you are a Harry Potter fan...you must check this out.. It makes my life.

Cheers to the seniors...

So I'm not sure if any of you know this but I am part of Alpha Chi Omega Upsilon Chapter at Millikin University. And tonight was our first night of senior week. Now you are probably wondering why is she talking about this. Well it's not for me that I am talking about this. It's for my big. 

My big is a senior this year and because she is music education, this will be her last semester at Millikin. And I'm happy for her, truly. But it's already hard. Already I am thinking about the rest of my years here without her. She has been my confidante in the face of unceasing doubts, a friend, my sister, and most of all there when I needed someone most. And all I can think about is Millikin without her and Alpha Chi without her. I am going to miss her dearly, BUT I know she is leaving and moving on to bigger and better things where she WILL make a difference.

SO night I dedicate this blog to all the seniors out there about ready to take their first steps into the real world and I leave you with this piece of advice:

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." 
I know that its scary to be moving on, because let’s face it who knows what is going to happen beyond college when you are out in the real world, but know that its all starting for you. You are beginning a new chapter in your life. You are moving on to bigger and better things and just know we will be here amazed in all that you accomplish. I will be here cheering you on and watching you shine. So class of 2013, as is our motto at Alpha Chi, seek the heights and do the best that you can everyday. And most importantly, smile because you’re driving into the sunset into the great unknown, and life is just starting for you.

Vespers and other things..

Vespers...check.
Now on to juries and the rest of finals.
:P

BUT perhaps the biggest issue of my life has to be, yep you guessed the male species (and yes, they are a species). Beyond just the typical, "I wish I could understand what goes on in their brains," or "I don't know what to do about this one crush I have," my beef with males has to do with their behavior and especially towards women. I hate that you can't go out without a male deciding hey let me just go hit on her EVEN though she is with her girlfriends. OR better yet, after a male has successfully been graced with the opportunity to dance with the said girl, I hate how some guys decide that they also have the right to put their hands wherever they want...including down her pants. Come on now. I have to believe that we were all taught good manners as children and this is NOT what a courteous person would do. Please boys, keep your hands to yourself and learn how to treat girls properly..and who knows maybe you might be graced with the opportunity to do other things.....but only if you play your cards right.

Bad Life Choices...

I need to stop listening to people sometimes. So my bad life choice of the day has to be staying up really late the night before my practicum. Last night, I had Vespers rehearsal and then had to do homework till around 1:30 in the morning/night (whatever works for you). And though you know I should have gone to bed since I had my practicum at eight in the morning, did I? NO! The intelligent person that I am decided that the best idea was to go out and hang out with friends at SAE at one in the morning. When I finally did get home, I THEN decided to not go to bed because it would be "easier" than going to bed for only like fours hours or so. Big mistake! I definitely passed out in the middle of the movie The Devil Wears Prada and did not wake up till precisely 8:22 am. Words can't even begin to describe how much I was freaking out. Literally, I was on the verge of hyperventilating. Luckily, my roommate (love this girl) had her keys to her car ready to go and even wrote out directions for me, just in case. Never in my life have I been so thankful to another person and to fate, karma, God, whoever because I DID make it on time and got to teach and observe and everything just worked out. The point of the story is this DO not pull an all-nighter if you have to get up early the next day and most definitely STAY in. Make good life choices...and you won't be like me.

Sincerely,

-Z
