Dear boyfriend

Dear boyfriend,

This one is for you. Our relationship has consisted of many twists and turns over the last year, but I love you! :) Being in a long distance relationship is hard but at the end of the day we make it work. Through the fights over text messages and phone calls we always can make things better just by talking. Talking things out makes everything better, it may not seem like it at first but eve tally everything gets back to normal. I do things you don't like and I do thinks that you don't like but we can always work on that and we are working on that. You have seen me at my highest and you've seen me at my lowest. You've helped me grow as a person. You've seen me cry and you've seen me laugh. We've made each other cry and we've made each other laugh. At the end of the day we are always happy with each other. If something is wrong we do our best not to go to bed angry. We workthrough things like mature adults, sometimes ;) You've taught me things and I've taught you things. We connect on a level no one  except you and i will really understand. We both know what we want out of this relationship with each other and agree on most things. I'll admit I'm stubborn but you are too and I would know this since I'm right 88% of the time and you 12% of the time ;) only kidding:) but you know how it is :) we have our own unique story and who would have thought it would have started and lasted this long ;) ... I did! :) so a shoutout to Tinder for getting us to swipe right with each other ;) I love you and mean the world to me. This is our world and we control it! Screw what people say about long distance relationships and how they don't work. We proved them wrong and are still going strong after over a year! So here's my advice to others... Take a chance, the world does marvelous things and brings you to the right people at the right place at the right time :) love is out there for everyone and if you look in the right spot you just might find your best friend forever, like I did :) ❤️

I'm tired of todays standards, THIS IS YOUR LIFE! DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!

Growing up all I ever wanted to be was famous. I wanted to look like the girls on tv and be just like them. But there were so many standards to live up to... Be skinny, be pretty, look good all the time, be on your best behavior, do this and don't do that, say what people want to here, date this person you two look good together and on and on and on. Ugh! Who wants to do all of that and more all time? And why would you want to? I don't even like when my parents tell me what to do. So here's what I think we need to do. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!!! Screw what other people want you to do or think you should do. This is your life sooooo... If you're a boy and want to date a boy...DO IT!!! If you're a girl and want to date a girl...DO IT!!! If you want to date that boy to girl and you don't think you have a chance, take the chance anyways you never know what can happen. If you are boyfriend and boyfriend, girlfriend and girlfriend, to boyfriend and girl friend and you want to get married weather you are young and dumb or old and wise... DO IT!!! Who is stopping you? If you your boyfriend or girlfriends is way heavier or way lighter than you and people are telling you, you can do better or to get rid of the, screw those people! This is your life be happy. If you like to sing and think you suck, sing anyways do what feels right to you. If you are in a bad relationship and you are looking for a sign to get out HERE IT IS!!! It may hurt but honey it will get better! This is your opportunity to make yourself happy. Screw what society thinks and screw todays standards. Screw all the "goals" like relationship goals, hair goals, ect. Make your own goals that will actually help you in your life and make you happy! Well kids that's my rant, I'm considering doing a YouTube video on this, tell me what you think. Have a great night and beautiful life! Remember Jesus loves you and I do to. Also things get better, just give it time and patience :)

Finals and test anxiety

It's that's wonder time of year again where all of the college students are stressed out beyond their wildest dreams. And why is that? Because it is finals season of course! I don't know one student that doesn't loath finals. They stress you out to the point of no return. Then they are over, just like that. Like notching every happened. Except lots can happen: grades go up, grades go down, students pass a class because of them, students don't pass a class because of them. They are pure hell. In my opinion I think that finals should be optional. That should be used for raising grades. Not lowering them. Some students do gray in all the class work and the quizzes but when it comes to test they bomb them and that's not fair. Test anxiety is a real thing. People could know it all and take a test and flunk it. It is not fair. They probably studied harder than the kids that get A's on the tests but it won't matter because grades are how lots of teachers view you and if you ge a bad grade, well to them it's like you didn't try or even study. That's not fair. So who is with me to make finals optional? Why can't we do this? :)Let me know what you thin! :) have a great night everyone and good luck on your finals! :)

College and Finals... BLEH! (the finals not college)

College can be one of the best times of your life. You meet a lot of your friends that you will have for the rest of your life. That roommate that was once a stranger is now your best friend, that cute boy that you noticed on the first day of class is your new boyfriend and things just get keep getting better from there. You'll now have tens of hundreds of new friends and friend requests. You'll have new followers on Twitter and Instagram that will actually like your posts because they like you and not because they feel obligated. Those people you never thought you would talk to because you thought you were invisible are now your good friends. You have your friends in your snapchats and not just your pets or family. And right now you probably have Snapchat streaks that go on for days on end. You can go to games and not have to worry if you'll be there by yourself. Things do get better in college you just have to put yourself out there even if you are not a people person or are just shy. These people will be your life long friends I guarantee it. There is a chance you may lose friends throughout college too but that's ok you have hundreds more you can make. Plus you are young and you don't need people in your life that don't need you! And if you ever want to make friends go to a party people there are usually really nice or drunk or both but it makes them fun. Have fun and just let your guard down, you'll never know what will happen!

As for finals, they are just a test. Yes they are big tests, but if you are willing to put in the time and study you will do just fine. If you stress while taking tests or have test anxiety here are some tips from the professional at stressing over tests because of test anxiety.

TIPS:
1. Study little bits at a time. If you have several subjects study little bits of each so you don't feel overwhelmed
2. Take a break ever 30-35 minutes to have a snack and make sure you are drinking lots of water.
3. Listen to music so you can zone out everything around you, I would suggest classical just because its been proven to help people concentrate better because there are no words.
4. Have a study buddy, they can help you stay focused.
5. Relax during the test and if you need to don't think of it as a test.
&6. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE STUDYING!!!

Christmas, Christmas Presents and Gift Ideas

It's the most stressful time of the year. Haha tricked you, you thought it was going to be the song, well you were wrong. Ok people let's get serious. Jokes LOL when have any of my post been super serious. Christmas should not be a time you are stressing out worrying about presents (or gifts, whatever you prefer to call them). This is going to sound like a broken record to most of you but this is the time of year that you need to be sending with the ones you love: friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, friends with benefits, who cares I don't judge. Just be happy with the people you want to be with and who make you happiest. Spread the love and spread the joy of the season. Some people don't get to experience this, so be happy you are lucky enough too. I want to go on by talking about presents. People can he hard to shop for so for so down below I will list of moms, dads sisters, ect and some ideas they might enjoy!
FOR:
Moms- You can never go wring with SCARVES. They are comfy, warm and fashionable. Most moms love them.
Dads- Dads love TOOLS and if you don't know what brand they want get them a GIFT CARD and make sure to specify it is for TOOLS only.
Sisters- No matter what age you can never go wrong with NAIL POLISH girls love it and any color will work. If you know their favorite color (or colors) get those.
Brothers- Boys like HUNTING and FISHING gear so this is acceptable for any age,
Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, & Uncles- I recommend RESTAURANT gift cards. They are simple and easy and everyone loves food.
Cousins - ITUNES gif cards these are east to find everywhere. Also TARGET and online shopping places are good places to get gift cards for them as well.
Girlfriends- Men you do not need to spend a million dollars on your girl. I would suggest a cute NECKLACE or BRACELET or even maybe a ring but not something that needs to breaks the bank, just show her you care. Also you could get her, her favorite CANDY and even some FLOWERS. And men this may sounds cheese but make homemade card and give it to her. She will love it guaranteed.
Boyfriends- Girls it may seem like shopping for a guy is impossible, but you can do it! If he likes to HUNT or FISH get him hunting and/or fishing gear. Make him a homemade card and be creative. If you don't know what kind of fishing or hunting gear he likes get him a GIFT CARD.

Hope this helps some of y'all feel less stressed about shopping and gives you a little help on what you could buy! Have a gray night see you all tomorrow!

getting over a break up (that was a long time ago, that you thought you were over but it still bugs you)

So there is always going to be that boy or girl that will tug at the heart strings no matter how much you convince yourself you are over them. You'll see a post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on and so forth that will kill you a little inside. That's ok, things like that will happen to anyone, you are not alone. This could even happen to you if you are in a new relationship now and know you love the other person. These things happen, you were in that relationship with that person before for a reason and there were feelings for them. The feeling might have gone away but you will always care for them, it's natural. But you are not alone, it happens to the best of us. I bet you're wondering what you can do to get over it. Well in my honest opinion you should just try not to think about that person, if something reminds you of it, get rid of it or put it something so you don't see it. If you are friends with the guy or girl on Facebook or Instagram just unfollow them or unfriend them. It might bother you for a while but you will eventually get over it and won't be reminded of them because you won't be able to see their post, pictures, ect. So my philosophy is the less you see of them, the less you'll think about them, and the faster it will all go away. And if you are in a relationship when this is happening remember you are with that person for a reason. If you didn't like or love them you wouldn't be with them. They have also probably gone through the same thing so if you're comfortable enough with them, talk to them about it. I can almost guarantee they will understand. You'll make it through this, you've got this, you can do this!

Starting over :)

Starting over. There seems to be a lot of starting over these days. Friends, family, relationships, and jobs all seem to come and go. This either happens on its own or you can do it for yourself. Starting over is never a bad thing. In fact for a lot of (or most) people it's a rather good thing. If you do not like something than change it. This is your life that you are living for you, no one else. If you want to be happy make yourself happy, regardless of others say. If they are not happy for you, you don't need them in your life. Make yourself happy before anyone else. This is your life not theirs. They should be happy your happy. So here's my advise for you: if your friends suck and are not being good friends, kick their butts to the curb and get some new ones. If your family is being awful get away from them and move, if the really care they would make an effort. If you are miserable in a relationship, dump his or her butt and move on. It may sting for a while and hurt but you will move on to bigger and better things and hopefully with time find the right person for you. And if your job sucks, here's a secret for you, there are many more jobs out there, do what makes you happy and get a job you love not loath.  SO as you can see starting over is an option and if you want to and or need to, do it! I believe in you and support you! You can do it! Yay you! :)
