My Pi Phi Formal

My semester isn't that horrible I promise! It's just really time consuming! I don't have time to do anything! But I will be done Thursday at 4 and I won't have to think again until January 6th. Thank goodness.

Anywho, really quick. I'm posting pictures from my Pi Phi Formal (pretty much for Granny). Don't worry Granny I'll get you copies.

This one is by far my favorite. He is perfect.

I loved my dress! And my date!

These are my roommates for next year!

This is my big Carley. She's adorable.

These are my pledge sisters I hangout with a lot. I love them as well. 

From left to right: Trevor, Weston, Brenden, Me, and Bryan! These guys are my favorite. 

Bed time for me. I'll try to write more later! Goodnight!

Happy Friday.

Hello everyone. It's Friday. This was one of the busiest week of my lives. Bright side, there are only 2 full weeks of classes left, and then finals are here. So I'm almost done!

What is even better? I don't have work or classes on Friday next semester. It's going to be AWESOME.

Also, next week, I will be initiated into my sorority.

Starting Sunday, every day I get a present from an active. I don't find out who gave me the presents until initiation day, which is the 23rd. I also start working on my Mary Kay advertising campaign next week.

The week after that is Thanksgiving.

It's also Brenden's birthday. I'm so excited to eat food and give presents to Brenden for his 20th.  I only have one class, and that's on Monday.

The first week of December, I will have my first sorority Formal, and Brenden is my date.

So I'm super pumped for the next couple weeks. 

That's it for now. Nothing I have time to rant about.

Meanwhile, enjoy this GIF of Justin Timberlake and pizza.

And this cat with bread on his face. Happy Friday!

I can't stop laughing at these.

What I look like when I've realized I've overslept:

This is one that I look like when I watch a scary movie:

Here's another one just for giggles:

There's a difference between happiness and craziness.

I am going to tell you about some things I have learned in the past year and a half when it comes to men.

When you go through a breakup, block them. It's not harsh.

In today's society you always see couples breaking up and getting back together. Social media always adds to relationship drama. When you break up with someone, it's hard to get away from them because you're still friends on Facebook, and you follow them on Twitter.  BLOCK THEM. I know this is harsh, but if it wasn't for my ex (that I dated for 2 years) blocking me on Facebook, I'm sure that it would have taken me longer than it did to get over him.  I wasn't constantly looking at his profile (come on ladies, we all do it).  It was the best meanest thing that he had ever done to me because it allowed me to not think about him everyday like I used to. I didn't see him in person, and I didn't see him on Facebook. Time apart from them is good.  Yes, it might get lonely, and it sucks, a lot. But before you get lonely and text them or creep, remember the bad times and the reason you broke up.  Here's one quote that I love to reference when I talk about this:

Ups and downs in a relationship are not daily.
No I am not saying that a relationship is never going to have ups and downs, but for the love of all that is good, that doesn't mean daily or weekly ups and downs. Some couples breakup and makeup all of the time like that's healthy. It's not. It's stress. Breaking up and getting back together only adds to the problems. Yes, we all have problems in relationships, but if you constantly are having them with your boo every day or every week, you might need to reevaluate your situation. If he keeps making the same mistakes, he's not going to change like he promises. I know that from personal experience. And you know what? No one should have to change for you. You shouldn't have to change for them. Crying every other day for three weeks is more than just not fun; it's mentally and physically exhausting. And not healthy.

The happiest you that you can be is yourself. Everything else falls into place after that.
This, ladies and gents, is the most important lesson I have learned.  At the current moment, despite my allergies, I still feel a swelling happiness inside me when I think about my life.  And it's all because I have been nothing but myself.  This applies to every part of your life, not just relationships.  I am not scared to admit that on a regular basis, I watch cat videos to laugh.  Watching commercials is more fun to me than actually watching a show, and looking at advertisements are better than reading the magazines. That is me.  Not only do my friends know it, but my boyfriend does.

What I cannot stress enough to someone is the fact that the person you choose to be with needs to love every part of you all the time. All of your faults.  My boyfriend and I have been dating for about nine months, and we have gotten into maybe 3 arguments. Not fights, just arguments. We try to work things out instead of yelling about them. He has never tried to change me, and I would never try to change him.  That's how it should be. I am not saying that this is meant to be or I'm going to get married, but I am happy now, and that's all that matters. I feel like I am in a wonderful healthy relationship, and that is because we communicate, we accept each other, and we want each other to be happy.  I know that everyone deserves this. Not the stupid, breakup, makeup, crying, fighting, "but we love each other so much" crap that I see so much of.

IOS7

Why hello there.

I just got the new iOS7 update.  For anyone who doesn't know, that's the new Apple iPhone software.  I didn't think I liked it and then I started playing around with it, and I actually really enjoy it. The design has a certain, simplistic value to it. And I really enjoy that. I'm going to be honest, the white against the blue in the messages gave my eyeballs some getting used to, but I really like it.  I feel like the 2D concept messes with my depth perception. Personally, I like it.  I think people are hating on it because it's different and new and they aren't used to it yet.  And it's simplistic and I've heard that people don't like the "childish" look to it.

In other news, I get to go to two formals this semester, not including Brenden's! That excites me.  Also, I bought shirts with my Greek letters on them.

I'm super stoked about that.

But those are just some random thought. That's all for now.

Pi Beta Phi!

Sorry I've taken so long to post! Bid Day was amazing! I joined Pi Beta Phi!

I'm so excited! I don't really have much to say but I do want to say I'm really excited! Oh, I already said that. I'll post more later, but for now, here are some pictures.

The longest week of my life.

Hello everyone (specifically Granny, since I know for a fact that she reads this.)

Well, this week I went through recruitment for Ball State to join a sorority. It was a very tedious process, and I definitely second guessed myself a lot this whole week.  It was a mutual selection process where I would select the ones I wanted and the sororities would do the same. It was difficult when I found out that certain sororities didn't want me back, just because I thought we had gotten along and made a connection.  Thoughts would cross my mind; "Am I not good enough? Why didn't they like me? Maybe I'm not as special as I like to think that I am."  I kept a positive outlook on the whole process though, just because I like to think that I keep a positive outlook on my whole life. 

Today was the last rounds, preference rounds. I picked my top two sororities and then spent an hour with them meeting the girls and learning of their philanthropies. It was a wonderful experience because I was able to go to the top two sororities I picked which was a great feeling. I loved both dearly, and I can't imagine how I will feel about them once I get my "bid" tomorrow. It was outrageously difficult ranking both of them because I had felt a connection to both.  In the end I had to pick one over the other, and now I cannot wait to see if they felt that connection with me too.  I won't spoil the surprise as to which one I picked until tomorrow.  I would be happy with either or, and I want to keep my thoughts to myself just to be safe. 

Tomorrow, AKA Bid Day.     This is where we get a wonderful white envelope and inside it tells us where we got a Bid from, or an invitation to join a sorority.  The we walk to the Ball State Quad, where we each have our sororities with balloons and signs and tshirts waiting to welcome us. I cannot tell you how long this 19 or so hours is going to be until then. 

Other than that, my job, my boyfriend, and my grades are all wonderful and going great. This week has been very difficult and tiresome and I've been stressing out and worried, but it will all be worth it tomorrow. 

Oh, and lets all gush about how adorable and wonderful Brenden is. I can't believe I get to call him my boyfriend. I wouldn't have gotten through the week without him.

Until another day!
