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.
