Snow: -Please Uninsert Here-

I hate snow.

There, I've said it. And all of you that don't get snow and think it's such a blessing that I have it and that I shouldn't be complaining... well, obviously you don't get snow.

In theory, having snow is great. It's so pretty, fun to play in, and gives you those oh-so-welcomed 2 hour delays and snow days during grade school. Well once you hit life after high school graduation, snow is anything but great.

Life Rule #3
Snow is Satan.

Have you ever had a lot of snow during finals week? If not, let me just throw out there how stressful it is knowing that a snow storm is coming and not being sure if your finals the following day will be canceled. Our Monday morning 8am finals were canceled and moved to Saturday, luckily for me, my professor allowed us to come in at 10am (when the school opens on a 2 hour delay schedule, which is what we had) to take the final. To be honest, there was no way that I was staying Saturday. My best friend of the past 17 years graduated from college on Saturday, and I was not going to miss that. PS. Can I just say, holy crap, my best friend just graduated COLLEGE. her schooling career is over. what? when did we get so old?

You see, as Luke Danes says, "snow is just annoying wet stuff that falls from the sky". I couldn't agree more. It ruins plans, and it ruins days. You wouldn't like it much if your plans to go hang out with your boyfriend on your 7 month anniversary got ruined because the roads near his house were snow covered and it took you over a hour to scrape off all of the 4 inches of ice and snow from your car.

Now I don't mean to complain (oh who are we kidding, we all know how much I love to complain) but I just find snow very aggravating. It's a pain to shovel, it's a pain to drive in, I'm a bitter old woman now who has lost all of her youth and childhood and won't play in the snow anymore, it's cold, it's slippery (don't know the number of times I've fallen on my ass because of it), it sucks to scrape off your car, it's wet... It's just pretty much lost all of the magic for me.

I miss the days when I loved that it was snowing; when the lyrics, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" were actually true. But the truth of the matter is that I'm now a 22 year old who has places to go and people to see and doesn't take kindly to precipitation getting in the way of that. Need I mention the horrible snow storm we got the weekend of my 20th birthday that caused us to lose power and ruined my birthday plans? And my birthday is in October - Pennsylvania isn't supposed to get snow storms in October.

To top it all off, I have had a cold for the past week (yes, during finals week). I've lost my voice and keep being awoken in the middle of the night by my inability to cease coughing. It's been rough. Winter sucks. But at least finals week is over, and I don't have all of that stress weighing down on me, too. I did well on all of my finals, thanks for asking. Let's just hope that my psycho art teacher doesn't give me a C in her class. I'm not sure how well I'll be able to handle having anything under a B on my transcript. (yes. i'm one of those people.)

So here's my warning to you now: BEWARE THE SNOW. It'll mess you up. Anyway, I hope you all are having or about to have a nice needed break from school and a happy holiday season.

Peace. Love. I Hate Snow.

Insert Introduction Here

I'm not really sure why I'm writing an introduction post - if you want to know more about me, "Know Me"; if you want to know more about this blog, "Back Story". If you are a creep and want to see my face or find me elsewhere on the internet "Find Me" and "Stalk Me". It's all good.

I guess one of the biggest reasons that I wanted to start this blog was because I didn't renew my domain name this year, and I just HAVE to have somewhere to blog. My aim for this specific blog is to be a little more organized than all that I've previously owned. It'll be quite a struggle for me because I tend to go off on tangents, and jump all over the place, and talk about seemingly random things. You'll learn very quickly this to be true of me.

So what then, do I talk about if this isn't REALLY an introduction post? she ponders as she listens to her Mayday Parade playlist on Spotify. (she has also previously been pondering why she HASN'T started listening to Mayday Parade sooner.) I suppose I'll specifically talk about all of my college and job endeavors. That has to be interesting on some level... right...?

I have been out of school for a month now, pretty much. I can't believe it's been that long since I've seen my old roommate, and one of my best friends, whom I have started affectionately referring to as Casshole. It's a tough thing going from seeing someone every day and talking to him or her about everything, to never seeing and barely talking to him or her at all. I'm going through the same thing with my friend, Paul. The worst part is that neither of them are coming back to my school next semester... so I really won't see them much anymore.

College Rule #1
People leave. They transfer. They drop out. They graduate. It sucks. If you have my luck, half of your closest friends will all leave at the same time.

In the past month, I haven't really thought about school much - other than when I reminisce about stuff with my boyfriend or talk about all the ways I'm going to be able annoy my boyfriend next semester because I will actually live close enough to do so. I ended up checking my school email yesterday though and found out that one of my classes was canceled because not enough people were enrolled. This means I got switched into an 8am class.

Rule #8 About Jayy
She does not do morning. 11am classes are borderline early. She will undoubtedly be late to and sleep through any 8am class she has frequently.

My advisor/favorite professor, Dr. Mooney (from here on out referred to as Moon Master D), also emailed me about classes that I need to take. You see, as one of the few people in my major who actually enjoys and excels at the design part of web design (and one of the only girls), I'm pretty much the only one concerned at the lack of graphic design classes that are required of us. So Moon Master D is helping me fill up all of the open elective spaces with the best possible graphic design classes that I can take. The whole business is tricky though because there aren't really any graphic design courses that'll be beneficial to me that I can take without taking the whole graphic design first year schedule... and ain't nobody got time or money fo dat.

I'm still jobless. I'm still broke. I'm still wondering how I'm going to be paying for my car insurance. Being an adult is super awesome. Dad says there might be a job for me where he works - taking pictures of used cars and putting them up on the site - which would be a pretty awesome gig for me, I think. I do that kind of thing normally anyway.

Other than that, the biggest things happening in my life aren't even happening in MY life. My baby sister just graduated high school last Friday. I can't believe she's so old! I can't believe that respectively that makes ME so old! Although, I'm old enough to legally consume alcohol, so being old has its perks. The other thing is that baby sister has published her first book, which is pretty awesome. I'm in the process of reading it. If you guys are interested, you can check it out here - BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT MEOW. And while you're there (at Amazon that is) feel free to order your good pal, best friend, favorite blogger, Jayy, season 1, 2, or 4 of The Vampire Diaries. She just might have to love you for forever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE COUSIN!!!

Peace. Love. Collide.
