We've Come to the End of the Road

I find it fitting that my 100th post is my last. I started blogging a while ago when I thought I wanted to be a writer. While I have a great love and passion for writing, it's not what I'd like to do with my life. I have other plans.

For a while now I have avoided or forgotten about my blog for many reasons: I had nothing to say, I didn't have the time and I just didn't want to.

This blog represents something more to me than just a place to lay out my thougths. It also represents a chapter in my life that is now closed. This blog began while I was in college and on May 18, 2010 I graduated. This blog acted as a writing outlet an this blog acted as a crutch, because it blinded me from what I now see.

So while I understand that no one will probably ever read this or comment, I just wanted to say "goodbye".

The Fight Gets Stronger As I Get Older

I'm president of an organization at my school and today I received a voicemail stating that I need to move my meeting room because a Greek organization wants the room. Naturally, I'm very angry, even now but I am learning that I must stand up for my rights and what I believe in.

I can't allow people to walk all over me as I have before because I'll never be respected. While I may be a performer, I'm also a "politizer" which means I put things politely always and I try to accomodate everyone around me. However, there comes a time when we all grow up and I believe that time is now. Tomorrow I will be fighting for what is right and for what I believe in.

If not for myself for my organization. A weak leader will only produce weak followers.

Flext Me Baby

As a student and a member of Gen Y I am pressed for time. Phone calls are shorter and texts are longer which puts a strain on my so called love life. Luckily for me I am a member of Gen Y and I'm able to utilize every bit of technology there is, which I do.

For the past few weeks I've been heavily engaged in a new phenomenon called "flexting" - flirt texting. It's pretty basic and self explanatory and of course it's something we've all done for a while but this is the first time I've actually acknowledge it as a thing.

These past few months, flexting has been more present in my life because I have been so busy. For a while there I thought I was sacrificing my non-existent love life for my professorial life but now I can have them both.

Walking Around a Foreign Land

Today was my first day back at school. I've been in class since 10 am and now I am done. As I was walking back to my room I had this feeling of unfamiliarity, as if I was in a new school for the first time.

The campus seemed empty, the faces new and for the first time in four years I felt like an outsider. I don't believe this be a negative thing rather it demonstrates the end of a journey. I see it as a sign from God that my time is up here. I've done all that needed to be done and now I must pursue other goals.

While May seems far away I can tell already that the days will go quickly. I had my day and now it belongs to someone else. Don't cry for me Argentina, it's supposed to be this way. It's the cycle of life and it actually makes me feel like I accomplished someting which I can honestly say "I did".

I'm Not Done Yet

As a graduating senior I'm constantly asked whether or not I'm excited "to be done". My answer is "Yes, I'm almost there." However what I really want to say is "Please stop asking me that. I'm not done yet".

I understand that people are excited for me and want to share in the moment but the moment has not come yet. Today, I moved back into my dorm, tomorrow I start class and in four months I graduate. I am in no way excited about graduation just yet because when I stepped foot on campus I realized how much work still needed to be done.

When May 1st comes I will be over the moon because it will be 17 days before I get my diploma. Until then I would appreciate it if others wouldn't get excited before I have the chance to.

Working Vacation...The Dream Comes Alive

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be on vacation. College is very serious and hard work; and even when I'm not at school there is still so much to be done. Very often I use my breaks (winter and summer) to make career and life decisions. The biggest decision I made was during the winter break of my sophmore year when I realized I wanted to go graduate school to get my Master's in Fine Arts.

Since then, I've made every possible move to ensure this and now time is catching up with me. Half of my applications have been sent out and the other half will be out by Monday morning.

I feel as though these past four years have prepared me to go into the workforce and get a great job but they haven't prepared me on to be happy. Each time I click "submit" or put postage on my grad school applications my heart pounds becacuse I know am finally going after something that I've wanted for so long.

This vacation is probably the best vacation I've ever had even though I'm working my butt off. This is because the end result is one that I've dreamed of and it's becoming a reality.

New Years Brings a New Beginning

As the new year approaches everyone begins making their New Year's Resolutions. Many of them are dietary or personality assessments. Around the holidays people like to self-evaluate themselves more than usual. It just so happens that there's a new year coming around the corner to make them feel better about their faults.

For college students, resolutions are almost impossible. We don't have time to think about changing our lives because for eight months of the year our lives don't belong to us; they instead belong to the colleges and universities we attend.

However, as a graduating senior I think I may be able to reconsider. I won't be making any resolutions as so much I'll be making plans. The next five months are the most crucial and dictate how I will spend the next one, two or five years of my life. School, work, travel or all of the above: I do not know.

I only know that now is the time to set an agenda. I have some thinking to do, like any other graduating student, and I can't sit on my decisions.

Club Lib...the New Place to Be

During the months of November and December, the libraries of colleges and universities across the nation have an influx of students. This is no coincidence, it's Finals time!

Professors like to assign all papers, quizzes, tests and final exams around the same time as they rush to get the last of their grades for report cards. By now one would think they'd realize it's not fair to students but that is not the case. While some professors try to make their assignments easier the work seems to still pile up.

When the workload gets high a student goes into overdrive and heads straight for the library. In the month of December I've seen more people at the library than at a wet t-shirt party in Cancun during Spring Break. The library has become so much populated that it has been renamed "Club Lib".

For the past two weeks and for the beginning of the next, like my peers I will be at Club Lib until the early hours of the morning. However, don't be fooled, just because it is technically the library doesn't mean much, the same crazies at the real club show up to Club Lib too.

Closing In

Today I had the pleasure of registering for my final semester of classes. I hit "submit" for the last time in my undergraduate life (who knows what the future will bring).

It was a rewarding feeling but it put things into perspective. It allowed me to trult understand that this the end the of road.

Four years ago when I moved into my dorm my final semester seemed so far away. Now as I look back that first move in day seems so far away and I can feel May 2010 closing in.

Crushes Smushes

When you're young, you are allowed to like people and gush about it but when you're adult it's not really okay.

As an adult when you "like" someone you are expected to make moves toward him or her. However, if you're like me then you just like people and that's that.

I hating crushing because it's a dead end to my feelings. I'm not that girl, I'm not so forward that I will make the first move. So in the meantime when I have crush I don't get happy I get angry because I know in the end it's going nowhere.

I Am Single Because

"I am single because" is currently a trending topic on Twitter. Being a single girl I found it interesting to see what people had to say about themselves. However, what I found most interesting and hilarious was how someone tried to use a pick up line on a Twitter Trending Topic.

Some guy wrote, "I single because I haven't met you". I read that and bursted into laughter. I just kept thinkg, "what the heck?"

It's just funny, there's really no point to my story except, I guess if you can't find a date in person you just pick one up on Twitter.

The Perfect Shoe

If you couldn't already tell I am a shoe lover! My favorite designer is the great Christian Louboutin. His shoes are, to me, the most magnificent works of art. He puts great time and effort to giving a shoe the right personality.

He pays attention to every single detail: the stitch, nail, glue, color and design. And when the shoe is completed buyers know that it is of excellent quality.

I feel that way about guys too. I pay attention to the personality and every other detail of the shoe, I mean GUY. The whole package has to be of excellent quality before I make a decision.

After all, if I'm spending my money, I mean spending my time, with the shoe, I mean GUY, he be better well worth it.

While the Weather is Still Nice

Before we head into that chilly October take advantage of the sunny days and warm breeze.

Nothing says romantic like a picnic with homemade lunch and a soft blanket to boot.

It's give you two a chance to talk and enjoy each other's company. It may seem old fashioned but in my opinion, a gift from the heart is much more impressive than anything you can buy.

You Can Call Me, I Won't Call You

Last week I wrote a post about being single and it came back to bite me in the butt. Today I found a new place to meet guys, the gas station. Naturally I did not come to this conclusion on my own; it was more of a forced revelation.

It happened when a man of maybe 30-35 years-old (always older) asked me what my name was and if I had a boyfriend. Because I knew how that convo would play out it I simply said, "Yes, I do". I then thought he'd go away (I should have known better).

This man proceeded to offer me his number and said I could call him but he won't call me because he knows I have a boyfriend.

It made me wonder if he is in marketing because he strategy was great. It leaves the door open for future connections and had I taken his number he would have had one foot in the door already.

Bring in the New Age a Single Gal

Exactly one week from today, I'll be turning 21-years-old and I'm very excited. However, all summer I've been dreading bringing in the new age as a single gal; it's a very important age.

Now as I look at my situation and the lack of control I have over it, I've accepted the result. It's okay to be single (for now) because I'll be able to have twice as much than if I were in a relationship.

Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong (most likely) is out there waiting for me and when he comes around I'll have had my fun so I can dedicate my time the work a new relationship needs.

Get a Grip

According to People.com, Hailey Glassman said John Gosslin is the love of her life.

Glassman told E! Online, "I'm not some fame whore... I'm not some celebrity, I'm not some famous person – I'm just a 22-year-old girl who got caught in the middle of all this."

Really? Really Hailey, because I feel like you put yourself in the middle. Jon Gosslin is an almost divorced father of eight; there's nothing attractive or appealing about him; especially for a 22-year-old.

As a "young girl" I know that we all make some pretty insane moves and we are entitled, its our education process, but Glassman took it too far.

I'm all for finding the love of your life but when it looks like that mess I think its time to get a grip...on reality.

Love Without Words

When you love someone, there comes a time when you don't need to speak to say I love you. And I imagine that when you find your TRUE love, saying "I love you," will come in the simplest forms.

I personally believe the ultimate test of love is found in a struggle; not a struggle between the lovers but a struggle within. There are sometimes internal battles must be fought and if he or she will stand by you through it all that's the greatest "I Love You" there is.

Last night on "So You Think You Can Dance", choreographer Tyce DiOrio created a piece that said just that.
