Thoughts

Now I know normally I'm a pretty upbeat girl, writing about topics that are giddy and happy. However, I want to change things up a bit today. Today, actually more in the last ten minutes, realization sank in for me.

How did the little perfect world I grew up in turn into a state of constant worry and fear?

Several of my friends and friends of friends, mere CHILDREN, are preparing to fight for their lives in war. It seems like yesterday I was joking with these friends, talking about future plans and goals, about how our kids will be just as good as friends as we are. And now, those plans are up in flames. I can't even wrap my head around it. I don't know how people deal with spouses, lovers, sons or daughters in the military. It's one of the hardest things to cope and deal with. Both you and them knowing that he or she is about to fight people who want nothing more than to steal their precious life and dreams. And your whole life, you have wanted nothing more but to see those dreams realized. When did we grow up? When did war games on the playground turn into war? When did bebe guns turn into AK-47s? And when did "happily ever after" turn into lives cut too short?

Spring Break!! ;)

HEY guys. Sorry I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there for a while. Life took over with travel, two jobs, midterm exams, AND trying to maintain a social life somewhere in the midst of all that. But guess what.... IM ON SPRING BREAK!! WOOHOOO! yes, ladies and gents. One whole week of nothing but crazy, HAM, intense...homework?

This is something I legitimately don't understand. Why do teachers assign papers and assignments due the day we get back from break?! If their intention was to keep me from partying, thats not going to stop me. I just won't do my paper. I mean, lets me real. They call it spring BREAK for a reason. Break as in a break from school or anything related to school. Are you TRYING to ruin my BREAK?

And how about all those traveling over break? Who is really going to drag those research books with them to the Bahamas, Italy, Australia, London, New York City? Talk about taking up space in the suitcase. Plus, we are taught in school to soak up culture. So why are you forcing us to read it rather than live it?

I think its a conspiracy that all teachers have against us students. Just kidding. Or am I? ;)

Like I said before, I'm running around trying to keep my head above water as of late. So, that being said, I'd love to get some blog topics from you all!

10 Rules for Picking Up Girls at a Party

Alright. I KNOW there are some ladies out there who agree with me on this one. 

MEN: If you want to increase your chances of getting lucky, then you have stumbled across the holy grail of blog posts. This is, from my perspective as a college girl, my guidelines to successfully picking up ladies at a party or a bar scene. In no particular order, just off the top of my head.

1 - First and foremost, don't flirt with a girl and then, when your done with her, FLIRT WITH ONE OF HER GIRLFRIENDS. Just don't. You'll probably get slapped, and will be going home alone. Girls talk, gentlemen. Whether or not you realize, they keep tabs on who hooks up with who. It's a thing. Just...don't do it.

2 - Don't use a rehearsed, cheesy pick-up line. Unless you openly admit IMMEDIATELY afterwards how cheesy it was and then admit you just wanted an excuse to say hello, its not going to work. Guaranteed.

3 - Don't BITCH about girls going to the bathroom together in the middle of a conversation. In the words of Jenna Marbles, "Your d*ck's future is being decided in that bathroom". It's true. 99.9% of the time, girls go to the bathroom to get opinions from the girls on whether or not they think you're attractive, her "type", and if she should let you go as far as you want to. Also, if a girl comes back from the bathroom and she is suddenly not interested, the fates have turned on you, my friend, and she's done with you. Nothing you will say or do will change this. The more you pursue her after this, the more disgusted with you she will become and you will be placed in the "creeper zone". Just accept it and move on.

4- If you are SLOPPY drunk, don't hit on a sober lady. Its not gonna happen. No matter how awesome your drunk self thinks you are.

5- ok. this one should be at the top FOR SURE. This is one of my pet peeves. DON'T send a messenger or a "wing man" or whatever you want to call it. I've heard it all before. "My friend over there thinks your really hot and wants to talk to you." Ok. Then why doesn't he get off his *ss and come talk to me then? It's not that hard. I'm ten feet away from you just standing here. I just don't understand.

6- Don't tell me you're a prince or something. No matter how drunk I am, I can see through that crap in an instant and you immediately have lost my interest.

7- Buy a girl a drink. It get the both of you to relax and it will lead to conversation. DON'T approach a girl with a drink to give her. We'll think you are trying to roofie us off the bat.

8- If you know I'm in college, and you're in your 30s, DON'T hit on me. Theres not enough alcohol in the world for me to want to get dirty with a guy who is all "btw I'm 35 years old". No. I'm not looking for a sugar daddy. May work for some, but most, it doesn't.

9- DON'T grab my boobs or butt while walking past me. Immediately on my bad list. Not a turn on at all. AT ALL.

10- Last, but not least, don't follow me around all night without talking to me. I don't want to turn around and see you standing five feet behind me and staring, and then me walk to another end of the room and have you breathing down my neck the whole time. I promise us girls aren't scary!! We just want to talk to you and have a good time. Just say hey and you're creeper status is gone! Simple. Come on, boys!

I could go on for FOREVER with this list. These are just a few of the worst ones for me. Let me know if theres something else you think deserves to go on the list:) Comment, follow, and share!

Tweet me @TheresCollege :) I'd love to talk to you!

MLK Day

Ok friends. Rant time.

I honestly don't understand the purpose of one day holidays such as MLK day. I didn't have school today, like everyone else. But can I just say, does one day REALLY make that much of a difference?

I mean, what am I gonna do? I'm in college. I'm broke as HELL. Driving anywhere is completely out the window.  (Thanks a lot "freshman can't have cars" rule) It's Monday. NOTHING happens on Mondays. No ones going out tonight because we all have class tomorrow. It's freaking -1924928759235 degrees outside, so walking outside ain't happening. Whats the point of having a day off if you're just literally going to sit in the dorm and stare at the wall?

While it IS nice to not do anything, I just don't get it. But if it's truly a holiday... lets DO something people!

Because there are people who stare at a wall all day, and then theres college.

10 Annoying Things My Roommates Do

So anyone who has gone to college knows that one of the hardest adjustments to make is living with roommates, who are, more often than not, CRAZY. It's only my second semester in college, and already these roommates have pushed buttons of mine I didn't even know existed. And, like the loving, non-ranting, totally perfect roommate I am, I've decided to list some of these not-annoying traits and/or actions below. And if you're wondering, yes. that was sarcasm. EXTREME sarcasm. These are in no particular order, just off the top of my head.


1) Being sexiled from your room. For those of you who don't know what being "sexiled" is, lucky you. Basically, you're kicked out of your room at all odd hours of the day/night from hours on end because your roommate has "plans" with his or her significant other. And of course, being the sweet roommate you are, you leave. As if you had a choice. Because if you for some reason decide to stick it out hoping that will prevent something, it won't. Learned that the hard way. Just saying.

2) Walking out of the shower to find a boyfriend/ boy who is a friend sitting in your room that your adoring roommate forgot to tell you was coming over. The amount of boys who have seen me in a bath robe with a towel turban on my head is unheard of. Is there some kind of award for that?

3) BOYS USING OUR BATHROOM. Ok. I have to clean that toilet. The LAST thing I need is for your boyfriend to miss the can and have to wipe up his pee off the floor. enough said.

4) Roommate and their boyfriends having "fun" in the mutual shower that all 4 of us share. and not cleaning up after themselves. Again, just saying.


(I realize all of these have been about boys thus far. I have several more on them, but I shall spare you my rant. Oh..too late?)

5) Setting your alarm to the LOUDEST setting and placing it as far away from the bed as humanely possible so I wake up every time your alarm goes off for your 8 AM. I signed up for 11 AM classes for a reason.

6) Going to bed at 12 am, while I'm still up doing homework, and forcing me to extinguish every possible light source, even my phone light. MY PHONE LIGHT. Is it really that hard for you to sleep with that little light on?

7) Eating my food. Don't do it. Period.

8) Coming home with SO much CRAP that I have to remove things from the room in order to make space for you. Can't we just split the room 50/50 and not 80/20?!

9) Ok. If you have a paper to do, and I have no homework, and I want to watch TV, why should I have to leave my room? Isn't there a library for a reason? I can only wear my beats for so long!! Beats By Dr. Dre Black Wireless Over-Ear Headphones - 900-00009-01 (Google Affiliate Ad)

10) Last, but CERTAINLY not least, coming back to the room COMPLETELY wasted. At 3 am. and running into every single item in the room like a freaking hurricane until finally making your way into the bathroom, only for me to listen to you puke for the next twenty minutes. In the toilet I have to clean the next day. Lovely. Just...lovely.


PLEASE tell me some of you guys can relate?! Comment which one of these speak the most to you! And share your roommate stories! I'm sure these aren't the only annoying things out there.

I swear theres normal people, and Then There's College. Roommates that is;)

Let Me Know I'm Not Alone?

Well HEY there people of the internet! If you're reading this, you've successfully found the best blog ever. Of course, I may be a little biased. Regardless, I'm happy you're here and have decided to join me on this wild ride that society refers to as "college".

I, by any means, don't claim to be an expert on college, nor do I even really fully understand what college is even supposed to do for me! You see, I'm a freshman. That's right. A bottom-of-the-totum-pole, always-getting-lost, hitting-on-the-seniors, homesick-call-mama-every-day, lets-get-crazy, soap scum freshman. And pretty damn proud if I may say so:)

I feel like college is a place that can get pretty crazy, on many different levels. It's a complete fresh start. New town, new school, new friends, new roommates, new classes, new independence, new decisions, new EVERYTHING. At least, so it seems.

So, I created this blog in hopes that I can share my crazy college journey with you all. I want to tell my college stories, my roommate stories, my love stories, my faith stories, MY stories!

So do me a favor, and let me know I'm not alone? Follow me! Comment! Let's be friends! I promise I don't bite. Help me survive this thing called college. The Lord knows I don't know what I'm doing.

Because one day you're in diapers, and you blink... and Then There's College.
