Well as you all know that yeasterday was hump day! It was pretty great day at school besides it being COLD all day! However the sun was shining bright and made it a pretty day. I only had 4 classes yeasterday because my visual arts class was cancelled! I have Biology homework which sucks tremendously but I have to do it! My roommates and friends went to see a motivational speaker last night. It was okay, but more of a history lesson. I figured there would be somethings he would discuss but he didn't! He yet fail to discuss the drop out rate of African American students in the United States. It's a pretty sad issue, but it starts at home. However he did say instead of trying to help someone you first need to know their history. I totally agreed with him on that one! The high drug rate is another thing America is suffering for. The guy said that honestly he would rather sell drugs than work at McDonalds! I TOTALLY disagreed with him on that one. I believe that you should work for what you want, nothing in life should be free and easy. Thats the bad impact on our environment, everyone wants to live the microwaveable life where everything is fast and easy. And in that life their able to go buy themselves a new car with 24 inch rims, and screens all in it. Who actually cares about that? Grow up and be a man about it! DO WORK! I know a lot of people that live on the system that are driving nice cars, and live freely in their government apartment. For people that actually needs the help I understand, but people that free load aggrivates me the mostk and its sad because I know a few. My family has always worked for what we want, kinda what my Mother has always taught me. I am from a middle class working family. I know what it is like to work and I'm glad I work for everything. I appreciate more! It's funny because many young adults have to wrong conception about life! I'm glad my Mom didn't always give me what I want, because now I know you can have everything, but not all at once. One of my scholarships were reduced, it kind of ticked me off! I felt ungrateful and angry, although I had enough money to pay my bills I wanted more. I then realized that I shouldn't be greedy, and that I will just have to work a little more to get a little more. The Lord will bless me I know he will, because i've made it this far through him and I'm going to keep on. Anyhow tonight I plan to attend the Black & Gold Pageant with my friends, and i'll upload pictures later! Have a good day!

Love Always,

First week is OVER!!

Hello People!!



I've officially am complete with my first week of school for this semester!! I think it's going to be a fun semester! However my class schedule is kinda tiresome. I only have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. I begin at 9 and end at 3:20 on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Friday's I complete my day at 1:50. I like my schedule so far, but it's kinda gets overwhelming. I will only be working on weekends so thats good! I'm excited about that... I'm also excited to go to Dallas/Denton next month for Shamekia's Birthday! It will be fun, because 3 of my good friends attend UNT! I am really excited about going out on wednesday night, because I don't have class on Thursday. Well that's it for now...

My first day back to school was yeasterday, and I went comfortable but still nice. It was an awesome first day back I must say! School will be challenging this semester because I'm taking mostly major courses with biology. I suck at MATH and SCIENCE! It's just not for me! However the sun was shining bright but it was still cool. I love weather like that.

I completely LOVE Khloe Kardashian for this one!

Well Obviously people in this world are closed mind individuals! They don't have any respect for others or their choices. It's not their life but they still seem to criticize others. Well Ms. Khloe Kardashian has had enough! This is her response that she wrote on her blog (http://www.khloekardashian.celebuzz.com/):



I've told you all before that I read EVERY single one of your comments, and I try as often as I can to respond. Recently though my site has been bombarded with cruel and unnecessary remarks about race and I can't sit back and keep my mouth shut any longer.

I personally am shocked that in this day and age people are still so judgmental and racist -- it blows my mind! I was raised to believe that all people are created and viewed as equals and never judged by something as meaningless as the color of their skin! I guess I am blessed to have parents that didn't brainwash me and cloud my thoughts with their petty views. I was raised to judge a person by their spirit and heart. I base my opinions of people by how they treat me and others. Point blank!

How does one person's color, weight, height, language define who they are? It is sad that people are so mean and so willing to promote their ridiculous views! It's almost like they think it's cool to be racist and prejudiced. Leaving comments like that are just wrong!

I love all my fans, I really do! And I love when you guys defend your opinions but I can only read so much foolishness before I feel I have to say something. I hate erasing comments that you guys post because I want you all to feel like your voices are valid but some comments are so brutally heartless that I have to get rid of them.

I feel like I am playing a game that I can never win -- if I hung out solely with my own race then I myself would be considered racist and someone would comment on that issue. If I have friends of all different races, then what? Is that unacceptable too?

I have friends of all different races and ethnicities and I am blessed to be exposed to so many different cultures -- I wouldn't change it for the world. If I want to date a man that treats me great, then I will! I don't care what color his skin is as long as I am treated and loved the way I want. If I want to be friends with someone who is loyal and lives up to my expectations of a friend, then I will! I don't care what she looks like.

People, we have so many other things in this world to focus on. Get a life! And if you don't like who my friends are or if you don't like who I am dating then get off my website! It's that simple!

I have so much respect for Khloe! It's her life she can date anyone she wants to!!

Content with Life!

Ok... So I'm just sitting here evaluating my life, and thinking about my future. First of all it's 2009, so all the drama or bad experiences I had last year is dunzo! I'm so over it. I realize now that I barely communicate with my classmates. I do understand that it takes 2 people to make conversation, so I do not feel bad anymore. However I'm content with my life at the moment. I am a VERY independent individual, I work, I'm in School, and my social life is amazing with my few good friends. I rather have a few good friends, than a lot of fake ones. Everything I have I worked hard to get, and I will not stop until I make it to the top! I do understand that I have matured so much. I'm able to accept failure happens in everyone life, and i've learned from a lot of mistakes. I've also learned from a lot of people mistakes as well. I do know that each and every day I will smile because I deserve to. I have come a long way from where I started. All the negative things in my life are no longer there. I'm very proud of myself because I am livng my dream. After my first and last year at SFA, I realized that I had a blast those 9 months there, but thats not the place for me. That was the best decision I think I made. I was dealing with a lot of fake people there in which it took the absence of my real friends to make me realize that. I went home for a year, and learned some valuable lessons. I knew I didn't want to live there for the rest of my life. I worked 2 jobs and attended college part time. In that process I changed my major to something that I really wanted to do. Journalism/PR is the right job for me. Very competitive major right? Well guess what.... I'm not afraid of a challenge. I know it's people out there that are ready for me to fall on my face. "Inside of a ring or out, ain't nothing wrong with going down. It's staying down that's wrong." -Muhammad Ali. This quote helps me get through a lot of challenges that I face. It makes me want to take risks, because you miss one hundred percent of the shots you do not take. I took a risk by moving to Houston, not really knowing many people. I really miss my family, because I feel like I'm the one that keeps us stronger, and on track. It was a good risk that I took because I've met so many new people, and learned so many new things. I know how to survive on my own, trust me I'm not your average college student. I'm not starving for anything, Whatever I want I pretty much get although it may take time. I had good grades last semester, but this semester I want to make the Dean's List. I know I can do it, I will just have to study a little harder. I think it's going to be a great semester, because I love springtime. I think 2009 is going to be a great year for me. I plan on excersising more so I can live a more healthier life. I plan on buying 2 new shirts a week lol instead of shopping all at once. I plan on interning this summer for a local magazine in which I hope I get it. One of my good friends is expecting and I'm happy for her. Ashlee is moving to Houston, and I'm very happy about that! I love the fact that regardless of the negative things people say about someone I can not believe it. I have realized that you will never know anyone unless you have been their friend first. This is so true people, because I was mislead about one of my good friends. I was told negative and things about them and because I didn't know them I believed it. Well that was all a lie and I'm glad I know who they really are. As I leave you I want to say that be ORIGINAL, because a orignal copy is worth more than a copy! God Bless....
