I can’t decide if “cute girl in front of me” is gay or just a hipster. Maybe I’ll force myself to talk to her one of these MWF’s and find out.
I am sorry Amanda. My friend Mindy at school is gay and determining gay or hipster is growing increasingly hard these days…
Just Checking In...
I haven’t really written any blogs on here lately besides just re-blogging. So here I am trying to get back into the swing of things. To do that, I’m going to go back to my resolutions post…here we go again!
1. Live a healthier lifestyle. - Doing pretty well but still could do better.
2. Stop putting myself down. Too many people put themselves down for the sake of sounding...
LifeAsILiveIt: And they shall call it "Epic Fail"... →
twinkle-lights-in-neon-blue:
That what today was. One giant epic fail. I got a 53 on my math midterm. And a 78 on my anatomy midterm. A 72 on my anatomy test too. I feel like screaming or kicking things or punching something. I freaked out all week and ended up sucking at everything? I STUDIED SO HARD AND GOT NOTHING FROM IT….
I’ve had a rough day too. Woke up grumpy…car got...

Believing in God
mybiggestregretever:
My biggest regret ever is believing in God. If there were really a God, why would he let both my parents die young because of cancer?
[Female, 19]
The comments on this make me upset. Not because of the believer v. non-believer issue, but because people are misusing the word ignorant. Somebody is not ignorant for believing or for not believing. Somebody is ignorant...

“In The Mourning”.
A few weeks...
One week down, the rest of my life to go!
I figured I’d check in to see how I was living up to my expectations…
1. Live a healthier lifestyle. - Overall I think I’ve made some good improvements.
2. Stop putting myself down. Too many people put themselves down for the sake of sounding humble or not sounding too cocky, but in the end it just hurts their self-esteem. - I’ve definitely stopped doing this. I’m...
twinkle-lights-in-neon-blue:
I feel like recommending songs to people for some strange reason so I am going to start to post songs that are some of my all time favorites:
Dancing With A Ghost - Valencia
This song makes me feel so happy. It’s upbeat and poppy but at the same time has a very catchy hook and awesome guitars and such. I really like listening to this song when I go for walks...
Arcade Fire is fantastic.
“I used to think I was not like them but I’m beginning to have my doubts…
…my doubts about it.”
Defense Mechanism.
People can get so defensive.
I’m sorry that when I tell you the truth you feel the need to defend yourself.
I have the urge to defend myself much of the time as well. But just take what people have to say in stride; listen to them. Don’t discredit them until you’ve actually heard what they have to say. Other people can see you clearer than you can sometimes.
This is rediculous. →
Personally, I don’t watch that much TV. I may treat myself with a little Jersey Shore action here and there. And I like to catch The Soup on Friday nights. If I’m sick or just way to tired, yeah I enjoy watching the Kardashians or insert other reality show here.
But this is ridiculous. People, it seems, have no passion anymore. At least in America, we eat fast food and watch TV and...
Don't settle.
I set high standards for myself. Some would argue my standards are too high; perhaps they are right. What I’ve realized is that it is important for me to set standards and goals, however, a lot of the time, I get in my own head and I settle for less. I think “I guess this is good enough”, or “this is as good as it is going to get”.
But where would the world be if...
