  • Roommates

    flower  School is almost out for the summer...2 more finals to go. I must say this school year has taught me a lot. Living with three girls is something I must say I would never do again! See here is the thing...girls make opinions to early. None of my roommates gave me a fighting chance from the beginning and I could never understand why and it is all becoming clear to me know. If girls feel threatened or jealous you are automatically put onto their shit list. I walked in here bringing with me all the decor for our apartment. I have a healthy relationship with my boyfriend (unlike the other two) and I am the asst. manager for a store that is 100 miles away. I am able to work from here and still make more money then any of them. I may not go out at night but that is because I do not pay for my college...I owe it to my parents to do well in school and I don't plan on pissing my grades away for to much booze and a night of partying. Alcoholism run in my family and yes I like to cut loose every once in a while but it is not something I would like to make a habit! Recently I heard a girl was talking poorly about me. It all came down to her getting kicked out of her apt. and wanting to room with the girl I am rooming with next year. The girl had the choice her or me and she chose me so I am automatically the bad guy. Though I am telling you about this so it may seem like I care I really don't. It only makes me stronger and when they are getting poor grades and are unable to get jobs or once they get jobs are miserable because they are pulling the same immature BS I will be happy and successful.

    Favorite Roommate quote of the year: "I think I have diabetes...every time I drink I can't keep my food down."
    My Solution: "Don't drink as much!"

     

    Well I should get back to studying!  Just thought everyone should know how much girls suck and you just can't let it get to you...it isn't worth your time!

  • Two weeks from hell!
    So last week was my Spring Break.  It was supposed to be relaxing right?  Not for me!  I worked all but two days of my spring break.  While I was at work I got the blame for everything!  I was in charge of setting up interviews and got blamed losing some interview sheets when I know my manager took them back into her office.  On top of that my other manager said to me she knew the credit card machine is going to run out of paper when I told her to go get some after work she was like no I think it will last us through the weekend...GUESS WHAT?!  It didn't!  I was stuck with a line of 10 people who wanted to pay with credit cards but without paper the machine doesn't work.  I had to write down their credit card numbers calling for some very annoyed and upset customers.  I had another girl run to the store and get more paper...she got there one minute before it closed.  When she got back she was laughing about the situation (when I get stressed I get migraines) I said I had a headache and her response was don't even.  Gosh forbid I should be more stressed then her cause I was dealing with customers and she was driving a car.  The next day we had three major dress mix ups.  It was the seamstress who was working on the dresses and I put the labels back there with her.  She was putting all the labels on the wrong dresses and because I was on register I got the blame.  I was told I am never allowed to be on register again...friggin sweet!

    Now I am back at school.  I had a presentation for one of my classes on Wednesday.  With the presentation we give out handouts.  Most people read directly off of their handouts.  My handout was on three articles.  I went through my first article without looking at my hand out the second one had some complex definitions.  I read off the first definition and my teacher stopped me asked me in my own words what it meant.  I froze!  I knew what it was and I couldn't come up with an answer so...he gave my presentation for me and told me to sit down not allowing my to present on my third article. The girl after me read verbatim off her sheet and he told her she did a great job...AWSOME!  So on top of that shitty day I have a 10 page paper and presentation due next week two 5 pg papers the week after the week after that I have my 85+ page project due.  FML!  I can not wait for this semester to be OVER!  Oh and the teacher that told me to sit down is going to Poland with me. AWSOME!  As if I don't hate him enough as it is I get to spend two weeks with him.  Anyways thats all I got I prolly won't be on anytime soon.

    Love

  • Teenagers Today...EERRGG

    photography-4 Have you ever noticed how the teenagers today differ from you when you were a teen?  I am only 21 and I can see so many differences it is not even funny!  Don't get me wrong some of them are so sweet but OTHERS are the BIGGEST brats I have ever come across.  I think it is so sad how disrespectful these kids are to not just other people but to their parents as well.  And the parents how can they let this happen?  If you don't know what I am talking about let me explain myself.  From working at a dress store and having acquaintances that are teenagers (my boyfriends sister, old cheerleading teammates ect..) I have noticed a great change in teenagers today then when I was a teen just 2 short years ago! Today it is like the teens expect you to do and give them everything.  In the dress store I have girls that are pissed if there parent isn't willing to fork out 5-600 dollars for a dress.  Last year alone we sold a prom dress for $1,500.  It is just a HS dance.  What are the chances that you are going to be with your date forever?  I mean I don't blame you for wanting to look amazing but does it take 1,500 dollars to do it? NO! 

    The best example I can give is my boyfriends little sister.  When me and him started dating she was a sweet shy little girl.  She would talk to me when I saw her and text me every so often to see how things were going.  She didn't want her parents spending excessive amounts of money on her and she adored her brother.  She loved going up to their farm and spending time with just her family.  NOW:  She has hit high school.  At 16 she takes her mother/father's bank card to go shopping and spends a couple hundred of dollars each time at high end stores.  She does not have a car at the moment but because her brother drives a truck and also has a Saturn for when gas gets to high she actually expects him to bring his truck home for her to have.  Oh but not the Saturn because that is to "ghetto."  Parking permits at her school are $170 a semester which means for the last 3 months of school she expects her parents to pay to get her a parking pass when she already has a ride to school and lives less then a mile from the school!  I used to give her hand me downs like nice things I only wore once.  The last thing I gave her was a Donney and Beurk purse I had used MAYBE 3 time.  When I handed it to her she didn't say thanks and closed the door in my face!  Her parents haven't been up to the farm in about 2 years because if she says no....they don't go!  She runs that house.  I was over at their house Christmas morning and they had planned on driving up to visit family that lives in my college town.  She started SCREAMING I am not going!  And they actually considered letting her stay home.  ITS FAMILY WTF!  Their grandma isn't doing that well and it could have very well been her last Christmas.  She went only under the promise that they could leave at 6 the next morning so she could go to a ski place with her friends...oh her parents pay for that too.  I think I should mention she doesn't have a job.  She goes out to eat at least once a week with friends and her boyfriend lives 45 min. away..but don't worry her parents foot all the bills!  Lastly, her father said he didn't want her to spend a bunch of money on a dress for homecoming this year since she is only a sophomore.  So what does she do?  She goes into my store (I wasn’t there) and they drop $400 after she got it all fixed and altered.  When she came in to make sure the alterations looked good I was explaining things to them like how to bustle she treated me like hired help!  Not once did I hear thank you or hi even.  When I asked her why she got such a big size (the dress got spendy because she had to get everything taken in....she bought my size and she is at least 2 down!) she was like ugghh because you didn't have my size.  That was a lie.  This just goes to show that her mommy and daddy will buy her anything no questions asked.  For Christmas she couldn't decide on a gift for her b/f so she got both things.  Her dad got the hand me down.  And just so you don't think it’s the parents.  My boyfriend was required to get a job the week he turned 16 or driving was out of the question.  He never got more then $40 a year for clothes.  He pays for everything now.  For his birthday he got $100 and his sister on the same day got a $500 shopping spree. 

    This may have sounded like a rant about my b/fs bratty sister but in reality I see it in everyone!  Recently me and one of my friends went into our old HS to visit an old teacher.  She teaches at both of our cities HS's (we split into 2 my senior year).  When we asked her what the differences between the two were she said by far the attitude of the kids.  The other school (the school bry's sister goes to) she said has by far the worst students ever.  They treat their teachers horrible, they don't do their work if they don't want to, and their all around attitude in life is that everyone owes them something.  My old HS on the other hand she said the students were for the most part well mannered, they did their homework and were just all around more enjoyable to work with. 

    So, to those who are teenagers....GET OVER YOURSELF!  Your friends are not always going to be there for you but I can bet that your family will be so treat them well and actually take the time to spend with them while they are still around!  I know there are things you want but here is a idea...work for them!  It is so much more rewarding to get the spendy things when you know you worked for them and earned them yourself!  Lastly, treat everyone with respect cause if you don’t it will turn around and bite you in the ass!

  • Random Blurbs

    2zgg0as Alright so leaving off where I last left you. My brother came up and we had a blast! We went to the bar my Ex-roommate works...BAD IDEA! She proceeded to completely ignore but hit on my boyfriend while i was standing right next to him! Its alright she wasn't looking so hot...I must say she has let herself go!

    So I realized that I obviously don't fit in here so now I am working my ass off the get the heck out of here as soon as possible! I have three semesters left and I am hoping they are just going to FLY! I will to anything to not have to come here for an extra semester bringing me at 4.5 years. And I know its rare to graduate in 4 these days but I can do it...I need to do it! For my sanity!

    Alright so I just found out that an old cheer/dance teammate who is now the head coach at my old cheerleading team is Prego...we think! It is a hope of mine that one day I will be able to coach girls competition cheerleading. I feel and have been told it is something I would be good at. As a HS kid my teammates always looked to me for help and my coaches always put me in charge when they could not be there. So here is my thought....I can't see her stepping down as a coach. She has a great group of girls and they just placed 9th in the nation (BIG deal for a MN team!).  However, she will be having her baby towards the beginning of the summer. So I was thinking that I would contact my old head coach who does all the coach recruiting (she has asked me to coach before) and see if I can be an assistant coach for the summer. Help her out while she is having the baby and what not. The only problem is that the coach has not verbally confirmed her pregnancy though I hear it is showing quite obviously and for a workout hound like she is there is no way its just a gut! Gosh I hope I can do something with the team this summer that would be AMAZING!

    Lastly, so its raining here today...Yup, rain in Feb. crazy right? Anyway my roomie asked me to pick her up. I was in the middle of homework and I didn't really feel like going outside. I don't have a car up here so that means taking hers, this would be fine except for the fact that well it’s a stick and yes I know how to drive one just fine I had a stick for about 3 years but her stick won't go into first and pulls out of second while driving. Last time I drove her car I had so many problems I just didn't want to deal with it today. We live across from the Lib. so from anywhere on campus it is no more then a 5 min. walk. Since she has gotten home she has huffed and puffed...slamming cupboards and texting me saying we are no long friends...REALLY GROW UP!

     

    THE END!!  haha its been an updown day....back to the books!
