Oh those awkward moments with EXS... (EXS for a reason)

Well today I went to church with my best friend. This girl has been there when the mean boys broke my heart and when you can't stand your parents in high school. Well while at church today I look across the aisle and I see one of the boys the broke my heart and I couldn't help but laugh. I wasn't laughing at the fact he was at church, just that he was there and so was I at the exact time. I go to North Point and out of all the service times we picked the same one! Anyways it was really odd for me because I hadn't seen him since January and we didn't speak. It's the awkward moment when you see someone you really don't want to see or talk to moment. Well as we were walking out the door of church I saw him and the girl he was with and I sprinted to the door. I haven't worked out in I don't know how long but I booked it to the nearest exit! I was like just get out before anything can be said! It ends up they went out the same door I did! IRONIC!!! They were right behind me and I held the door open. I couldn't help but smile because I was trying so hard not to pump into them! I than sprinted to my car and left my friend as she was chuckling as she came to the car! Oh I forgot to mention they parked like two cars away from me! I don't love the guy anymore but I just don't want to see him and have the PAST reminder! I have a lovely boyfriend now but man those EXS can sure get to you! I think God really has a sense of humor and thought it would be funny to see how I would react! But all is well in my little life! :)

Im hard to love

I'll be honest, I'm hard to love. I am a little needy... okay a lot needy. I just like knowing that someone's always there. I push away people though. I try to run when things are going good. I guess that doesn't make since, me wanting someone to be there but pushing them away? Well that's me...I heard the song "Hard to Love" by Lee Brice on the radio and adopted it as my theme song. I have a wonderful boyfriend that loves me to pieces. In the beginning I pushed him away and wanted to break up  because I said the distance was to much. In all reality I was scared because I was a freshman in college. Than we went through a rough patch but now we are stronger than we ever have been. I have became so close to his family and love the guy to death! So now when I hear the song I still think of myself but I've found someone to love me!

My Credo!

I have done a lot of thinking about a credo that describes me. I looked at I believe list and than thought about who I am as a person and I finally settled on a credo. My credo is everything happens for a reason! I strongly believe in this for a number of reasons. I might only be 19 but a lot has happen in my life and saying this over and over has gotten me through a lot! God has always provided and I think he controls everything that happens so I rest comfortably knowing that!  

Waiting....

So I have to decided to do my 10 minute free write about waiting because right now I am patiently waiting! Well kinda sorta! I hate waiting! I am horrible at it, I like everything right here and right now! Maybe it's a girl thing, I'm not sure!
I need to go pick up pizza but I have to wait till 820 to leave so I have 9 more minutes left to write. hmm what else can I say about waiting! Well I am waiting on my boyfriend to get off work and come see me! Yay! We ordered pepperoni  and supreme pizza. I'm starving and I'm not really sure why! I ate Chinese for lunch! But still hungry! I'm starting to think maybe I should of wrote about pizza or food for that matter! It took Casey's an hour to make our pizza! I think that a long time to wait for pizza but it is pretty yummy! I got all my English homework done other than the credo essay! I still have a ton of work left on that! hmmmm who knows what my credo will be! I need to keep doing some more research for my credo! I was reading through people's blogs and I read some really good credo ideas! I have a lot of competition for a good one! I'm sorry this free write is so random! It's the weekend I guess you can probably tell! Oh gosh I just thought about work! I decided to work more this week and picked up Monday and Tuesday! Bad idea??? Who knows.. normally I stick on topic better but can't today! I'm still waiting to leave and on a phone call! I really hate waiting !!!!! hurry hurry hurry!!! This free write is becoming long! Two more minutes!! I'm thirsty but can't move I have to WAIT to go get a drink! Man I hate waiting... well hmmm I don't know what else to say! Yay! I'm done waiting!!!

Know Your Audience Analysis

As I was reading through the discussion board posts and going through my classmates blogs I was able to understand who my audience was better. I learned that a lot of my classmates are parents and first time college students. We all might be different but a lot of us answered some of the discussion questions alike. My favorite discussion question was "Do you take anything for granted?" For some reason I loved this question because I know that a lot of people do even myself. Many of us take our friends and family for granted but those are the people we are most thankful for. I also thought the questions that were general like: "what's your favorite season?" or "what's your favorite kind of food?" really shows that we can all connect to one another no matter what our ages. I thought that all the questions were extremely fun for an assignment and can really benefit us when we are writing so we can really connect to our audience!

Free write to "This I believe essays"

As I read the essays on Ms. A's website I really didn't disagree with any ones essay. I think everyone believes things for a reason and every I believe essay has something we can all connect to. For me I connected to the essay about always going to funerals. Like the lady that wrote the essay, I had to attend a lot of funerals when I was a kid. For me they were close family members but I still hated them. It was always so sad. I remember walking up to my grandfathers casket and feeling his cold hands and crying. Even though I was only 8 It stuck with me like a horror movie. I only remember a few moments of my grandfather but his smile really was remarkable. I will always go to a funeral because even if it seems like a bother to me it could really make a difference to a loved one of mine.

Credo Research

I'll be honest I didn't know what credo was so I had to Google it. I found that credo is a statement or belief that is stated that makes someone act. After reading the definition I had a duh moment honestly. I have a lot of motivational speakers. The best credo speeches are ones with heart. I love when someone can make me feel what they felt. I am an emotional girl ill admit it but when tears come to my eyes when I read or hear something than they have really impacted my life. I remember hearing in school "don't do drugs, there bad" but just telling students not to do something doesn't mean they will listen. I had a personal experience with a family member doing drugs and that shaped my life and I never did them. But what about the other students that didn't? Well luckily our high school brought a guy into our school that had went down a bad path and he had a wife and children and he got into a lot of hard drugs and he ending up having half of his face gone. When he was cooking meth a fire ended up starting and he got hurt. after that he decided to clean up his life! I thought it was a good thing for the school to bring in someone that had went through all that, even if it stops one kid from doing drugs than it was worth it!

STRESSED! TO THE MAX!

As I sit in subway and try to eat my sandwich I become distracted of my long list of items on my list I have to complete today! I think that I might be a little to overwhelmed because I can barely even eat! I wish I wouldn't of over loaded myself with a new job, school, family, friends but I will get through it! I might have to have 8 cups of coffee to make it through but I will! My mind is fluttering with all different things. I'm thinking about how much I need a vacation at the moment but cant find the time for one! I hate cutting people out of my life and that's what I feel like I'm doing right now! I have to write for 10 minutes and its oddly enough calming me down.... I'll have to do this later on after I complete half my homework. I forgot to mention one of my midterms is tomorrow. I find it a lot harder to stay on task in summer because I want to go outside and enjoy the sun but I cant because of school! It's so stressful but I hear that the stress is worth it after you graduate..... I'm not going to lie I wish I was in high school again! I have an amazing life I shouldn't be complaining but this is a good way to vent and express how I'm feeling! I have officially reach my 10 minutes!

This I Believe Freewrite

After constructing a list of things that I believe I have decided on one that really describes me. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I guess that's chessy in a way but I think its true. Just last week my cat of 18 years passed a way. I believe that chickaboo (named after chicken mcnuggets at Mcdonalds) came into my life for a purpose. When I was two I didn't know what that purpose was but now I do. She was always there to protect me. It sometimes felt like she was like my older sister but wasn't even humans! God brought her into this world and took her out of it and she was always there for me even if she was just a cat. Another example of things happening for a reason would be college! When I had graduated from high school I was so excited to be done! I had a great time in high school was very active in school but I was ready to move on and get started on life. Little did I know that I would want to be back in high school! I had decided to live with a friend I knew from high school... bad idea! Lets just say we no longer live together! As hard as loosing a friend was and moving out at spring semester it was the best decision for me! I moved down the hall in the dorms at MSU and met a life long friend. I ended up feeling so welcome in my new room! She introduced me to her friends from back home and I did the same. I am now dating one of her boyfriends best friends. I would love to say it never works out in life but it always does. It doesn't ever feel like it is going to but it always does!!

ESFJ Type

Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging 

I am very liberal and like being in charge. I have known this for a very long time. In school I don't have a problem of voicing my opinion! My feelings get hurt very easily so when people try to correct me they just have to make sure there tone is respectful and not rude. I'm very easy to get along with and I like getting in groups with a variety of people. I think that as a writer this comes out in me in the way that I don't beat around the bush to show things while I write, I just kind of blurt it out. I would like to improve that though, not just in writing but in my everyday life! I think that in college being ESFJ is good and bad. I think its good that I voice my opinions but I sometimes find it hard to let other people help me on projects but it always ends up working out!
