Boredom

I am currently sitting in the hall of Tidewater Community College, waiting for my class to begin. I don't really have anything to talk about, so I just wanted to say hello, you're beautiful, and have a wonderful evening.

One love, my friends.

College

I've now started college, and I have to say, I pretty much love it. It's fun. I go to the community college about 20 minutes from home, and every day I see people I have known for 10 years. Eventually I will go to a University, but I am really enjoying myself. I feel a sense of accomplishment and responsibility, it's refreshing.

On a completely different note, I feel the need to address an issue I have with people. Do not belittle others to make yourself feel better. It's really just not ok, at all, and you look bad. Yes, I talk about people, but I really do try my best not to. BUT I do not belittle them. I don't put others down to bring myself up. How you feel about yourself should not be determined by how others feel about you. You are in control of your own thoughts, good or bad.

So, I love college, and I hate self-concious belittlers. That is all. Thank you.

One love.

College/Summer

First of all, I love summer. Can't get enough of it. This summer has been really wonderful. High school is over, which is even more wonderful. But, now we are entering college world. And college world is serious. No cliques to stress over, less gossip (please, God let this be true) and more studying. I really look forward to this change of pace. I feel like I'm ready for it. Err..I think I am. We'll see.

On another note, it kind of irritates me how nowaways, I walk into a counselor's office at school, and they say, "Ok, what do you want to be for the rest of your life?" It's like, I don't even know what I'm doing this weekend. Why do I have to choose my major now? Granted people change their majors like 3 times..I don't understand why I have to just pick one. I have roughly 3 things that I want to seriously pursue. And this crap starts in like 11th grade. People always saying, "Well you better get serious about a major", or "Oh gosh, you don't know yet, uh oh, better get to deciding". Shut. Up. You're a 40 year old school teacher. Don't tell me this is what you dreamed of becoming all your life (no offense if you're a teacher). But still, everyone has big dreams. Why should we have to settle on one thing? Or decide so soon? I don't even know who I am yet, and they expect me to already know what I want to be for the rest of my working life...silly..

Well that's my rant for today. One love.

What I like:

OK, so my Mom made pretty much the best purchase for me she has ever made: a Kindle! It's my new favorite thing, and I spend hours on it literally every day. Do some research on it, it's pretty nifty. If you love reading, you need one.

VANS. Let me tell ya, Vans are the most amazing shoes ever. I love them. I wear them a lot. And I think everyone needs a pair.

My guitar hasn't been getting much attention from me lately, but when I do pick it up, there's a comfort that it gives me thats unexplainable. Being able to play music, to create whatever I feel...it's rad.

Eminem's new CD, Recovery, is very, very good. Actually, I'd say it's his best yet. He's very real, and every track is not-stop heart pounding, bass bumping amazingness. All-in-all it's sickkk.

There's just something about Summer that gives me happiness every morning. It's such a calm season. It's my favorite.

So, I just though it would be cool to share things that I love with you. That's about it. God bless.

Well, well, well...

First thing's first, this blog is a direct reflection of my laziness. It's sad...but anyways.

I am graduating in 12 DAYS!!! That's crazy. One day I'm a kid, then next I;m an "adult" who needs to worry about money, my job, and college. Sheesh. It's stressful.

Hm, what else has happened? I totaled my vehicle about a month ago. I had my seatbelt on, of course, so I am A-OK! Really everyone, wear your seatbelt. Don't think that for one second you can't be in an accident. Although, I'm sure you all know this.

Jack Johnson's new CD came out this week! It's very, very good. If you like him, get it.

Another thing, I realized that the people I surrounded myself with were not the kind of people I thought they were. It's a sad thing, to find out that your best friends can very easily walk away from you and not care at all. It's a shame that I have spent 5 years on 2 people that just left me. But it's actually taught me a lot about character and about who I am. I am a good person, and I have never walked away from a friendship. I think that if you can walk away, you weren't really there in the first place. Not in your heart. But that's just what I think... :)

ALSO, this very day I started learning how to play the guitar. I learned a whole song! Maybe I will post videos of the songs I learn! I think I will! I'm so excited about it.

Sooooo, I would LOVE to say once again that I will post more often, but we'll see. Love ya!

Adult?

Being an adult does not sound as fun as it did when i was little. It's stressful and there is a lot of things to worry about. But on the flip side, I love love LOVE my job, and I'm graduating next month, YES! I have nothing to really write about. So have a wonderful, blessed day :)

:D :D :D

OK! Sorry people! It's been way too long since I've posted. But here's what's going down now; yesterday I turned 18!!!! It was an AMAZING birthday! And tomorrow, I leave for Florida for a few days for Spring Break. Needless to say, life's good :) I'd also like to take this time to talk about grateful I am for the people around me.

First of all, my mother is the most wonderful mother anyone could ask for. She has taught me well, and she's shown me right from wrong. She's a beautiful woman and I can only hope that one day I will be as good of a mother/friend/wife that she is each and every day. Good job Momma <3

Second of all, the friends I surround myself with each day, the ones that some would call "ride or die" friends; you guys are sensational. You know everything about me, and still love me, and that's hard, I'm sure! Thank you guys for always being here for me.

Thirdly, my Grandmother, Daisy Pritchard. It makes my heart smile just thinking of how indescribably great she is. She is hands-down the most caring person I have ever known. She has raised me, laughed with me, cried with me, read to me, and joked with me. I have so many memories with her, and so many more to be made. If you ever have the opportunity to know her, please do. She will most definitely change your life. Nonna, you're the best. God has blessed me so greatly by making you my grandmother.

So that's pretty much what's going on right now. I'm incredibly blessed and I thought I would share my thoughts with anyone who would like some insight into my current thoughts. I promise to write more often, and thanks for anyone who has subscribed to my blog. One love.

BFF's

So, I have some really amazing friends. They know what I'm thinking, they always answer my calls, and they can pretty much always hang out. I just really love them, a lot. Like, yesterday I saw that Jack Johnson is coming in concert, and I wake up this morning and see that my best friend wrote on my wall on Facebook saying we need to go to the concert together. How amazing? It's just little things those that make me grateful to have the friends that I have.

As I just mentioned, JACK JOHNSON is coming here in June! Yes! I'm so excited, seriously.

I'm going to be 18 in 15 days (: And in Florida in 17. Life's good.

Prom/FunFact/Eighteen

So here's the dealio yo. Prom 2010...kinddddd of a big deal, seeing as how I'm a Senior. I'm not really into the whole prom thing. I'm not really into the whole boy thing, actually. I prefer to sail solo. But the majority of my friends are guys, they're just a lot cooler. They don't have drama like girls do. But anyways, I figured I would regret not going, so I am. BUT, there's been a big question about my "date". Well, first of all, I had to find one, which I did. Whew! And second of all, since we're going as friends (and he doesn't go to my school), do I pay for our tickets? Since I'm the one who asked? Or go “dutch”? Or he pays? It was a confusing situation. I still don't know, but he is going to pay for his ticket, and I will pay for mine. We're really good friends, so I figured that would be fine. And...I just rhymed. I love when I rhyme, just a little f.f. (fun fact) about me.

Another thing about me, I get confused/frustrated very, very easily. Anytime a situation is unknown or complicated, I lose it. It's silly, and I'm working on this. It annoys Mom, too.

This was a completely random, rambling post. But I am a completely random, rambling girl.

I hope you have a wonderful remainder of the week (: 22 days until I am 18.

School..

First of all people, I have Saturday School tomorrow. Wonderful. Thank youuu snow. Second of all, I don't like school. But, I realized that it's fine if I don't like it. I'm just going to do well, that way I don't ever have to go back. LOL. School is full of drama, and people wanting to "fit in", and those who don't are "whack". Personally, I think that the popularity system is...what's the word? Whack. When did it become so important to be popular? I sure don't know, it was long before my high school. I just don't think it's necessary to talk about people all class period. Yes, I have engaged in gossiping, but people change. So today's post is short. I just wanted to express my feelings about school. I don't like it 99% of all teenagers, and I have to go be with them on a Saturday.

Smile :)

It can't be normal how much of my days at school are consumed by movie quotes, or inside jokes. But I love it. And let me tell ya, The Hangover is the most quoted of all my friends. Our favorite line is "...this is Doug's phone." HILARIOUS. And if you haven't seen it, watch it, right this second. I'm sure my grades are a reflection of my school shenanigans, but I really can't help it. I believe that laughter makes life so very much better. No matter what you are going through, you can forget it for a few minutes while you share a joke. I enjoy making people laugh, too. Friends are important to me, and it just so happens that I make "friend time" during class...oops ;) But seriously, here's a list of movies you need to watch: The Hangover, Mean Girls, Borat, Step Brothers, Blow, and Wedding Crashers. They might be a little bit inappropriate, but trust me, they are very, very funny. And yes, me and my guy friends quote Mean Girls.

This post doesn't really have a point except to tell you guys a fact about me. I love love love love to laugh. This quoting and joking is most likely an immature thing that adults would never do, but hey, I'm still a kid! OH and today I'm very excited, because my 18th birthday is in this month, granted it's the very last day.

And as another side note: Erin Bess, this is me mentioning you in my blog. I told you I would :)

Marriage?

Now, this is just something I will never understand, but I'd like to talk about it. Why are so many of my friends getting engaged? I actually have a couple friends who are getting married right after graduation! I don't get it, at all. Don't they realize that this is really the only point in life where we don't have to think of anyone else but ourselves? When they're older, they'll think "Dang, I never got to discover who I am." Now, I understand that people get married early all the time, and it does work out sometimes. But, it seems like everyone thinks that their relationship is a fairytale with a perfect ending. First of all, fairytales are very, very rare, and 2nd of all, they never showed you the bad things in fairytale movies, duh.

And another thing, all these people who say "I don't care what other people think of me"...you're lying. Sorry to tell you, but yeah. You are. If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't even go out of your way to say it. You DO care, because in saying this, you want people to THINK of you as an independent person or whatever. There may be certain things that you do without needing other people to care, but overall, we all want to impress someone in our life.

Anyways, I don't know, maybe since I'm the kind of person who doesn't think I'll marry (and if I do, I'll be like 38), my opinion is somewhat biased. It just really bothers me, a lot. All these friends of mine getting married? Ridiculous. And all these people jumping on the "I don't care" bandwagon...the freaking wagon is going to break people! Just be you. Wake up in the morning thinking of what YOU want, not another friend's style or attitude. You'll find out that people could totally love you, instead of scrutinizing yourself and changing things about yourself. It's just silly. And when you marry your 18 year old boyfriend, you want him to at least know the real you, right? ;)

Hello!

I suppose I could start off by telling you a little bit about me, and this blog. My name is Rae, and I am currently a Senior in high school. I live in a country city where the teens don't have anything to do, so we do things like to go McDonald's and the park for fun. I figured I would make a blog to have somewhere to share my thoughts on life. Seeing as how I can talk about ANYTHING, that's exactly what this blog is about...everything from music, to friends, to just a day for me at school. I'm an indecisive person, and I enjoy deep conversations and good company. I can make pretty much any situation fun. I get frazzled kind of easily, but I don't stay mad, ever. I consider myself a pretty good kid, probably because I have cool parents. I love love LOVE summertime, and weekends. As far as hobbies and whatnot, I model and write music. As of right now, I'm focusing on modeling (becoming distracted from time-to-time) and working on music as just a random thing to do when I'm bored. Hopefully I meet with an agency that wants me badly enough, and I can move the heck out of this city! But until then, I'll have fun in this city, with my amazing friends. I really hope that whoever reads this enjoys :)
