This is the End

Wow this has been a journey hasn't it..... From January to April..... 

I must be honest and say that at first i really hated doing these blog 

and honestly i'm always late doing them but when i do actually post them 

I think that they are just me ranting about a certain thing

and i really don't see the point of a blog.... Its boring all you can do is write and want people to read it. I'd rather just tell people aloud how i feel about thing. 

I think that poepl should add video to there blogs to make them more interesting and connecting to the audience and it would make people want to visit there blog more often...

But back to the subject This will be the last time I'm writing on here because i could careless about blogging.... so in this entry i'll include my feelings about school and this whole experience

This second semsester was so hard for me...... I've been struggling with my classes the whole time this semester but i think that its because i overloaded on class and really couldn't handle all the work. I mean my french class is the hardest of all my classes . I think the reason that i struggled so much is also because i had bad study habit or lack there of and i wasn't used to actually having to try usually things came to me. But this semester i had to do actual work i couldn't be lazy or i would've failed terribly. and now i'm just getting bad this semester made me come to terms that i'm lazy and things must change if i plan to do the great things i came here to do. and thats the bottom line.... 

So good bye people i hope everyone does good on finals and such so HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Welcome Normal!

My saying for the town of Normal is "Welcome to Normal where nothing is Normal"

My reason for saying this is because somethings in this town are so topsy tervy! I mean in this close ot rural town parking is like that of Downtown Chicago! Thats so backwards but i think its like that because its also a college town!
so my first piece of advice for my friends is find a safe parking place! Because the police down here are so petty and will quickly write you a ticket! I have a ticket on my account and i don't even own a car! I mean like thats how crazy that can get down here. But i guess that is expected because there's not a high crime rate down here so traffic violations are all the cops have to do outside of drunk college kids, and shutting down frat parties.... They don't have anything else better to do..... Sad isn't it lol

But on to other matters in Normal there is strangly alot here that you can do. Me and my friends like to go to the hookah lounge on thursdays and wind down.... Cause after Wednesday my week gets really slow and easy and that like the best but back to the subject matter. You can also take in all the different restuarants they have to offer They have something that will fit anyones appetite!

Wally World (b.k.a.: WalMart)
I think that this place is like a college students heaven because no matter what the product is they always have it in stock unlike the one back home. and its always open even at the oddest times of the night which means its open for late night tweak sessions! which are the best when you have nothing else better to do with your life.

And last but not least check out ILLINIOS STATE UNIVERSITY!
Its like the best school in the world
Its a comfortable diverse campus and there is so much going on all the time so its kind of hard to
be bored here if its not in the winter time because the weather can be the ickyest!

I need to put Facebook down and pick up a BOOK!

I don't know what to do cause i have problem I can't stop getting on Facebook or the internet for that matter! and it killing me and my grades i mean i'm not failing but i always do things at the last minute because i wasted so much time on the book!!1 intstead of being in a book! I keep telling myself to just delete my facebook page you know just so i can overcome this but i guess i'm too weak to do so. Facebook is entertainment for me cause i'm like a facebook celeb i have like 2000 friends or so.. So theres always something interesting going on in my news feed! and guess there goes my problem maybe i'm too nosey to just know all the business that facebook provides to me on daily and looking at peoples pictures that have nothing to do with me!! 

My addiction is so flippin annoying I know that i'm not the only one that is suffering from social networking addiction!!! So people i ask what do i do when i'm sitting in my room i check my facebook at least ten times within one hour and thats just so out of hand!

Everytime i come back to my room i check my facebook!

 

 

When will this turmoil end i mean i think the only way for me to end it is to delete my facebook account...... but there's so much stuff on there that i don't want to lose like my 66 facebook photo albums my poetry, my poetry videos ughhhhhh maybe I’m  just obsessed with being social ..... I think when i say it that way it doesn't sound so bad.... I just know that i need to get ahold of myself and stop letting facebook rule my life. I mean its really killing me and my grades I just want to be able to control myself. But now when I think about it . I’ve had a problem staying off the internet since I was younger but I always got control of myself because Iwe didn’t have internet or a computer at our house for that matter so I guess I just need to distance myself or something just ppl please let me know that I’m not alone.

 

So what i'm not that active...

For this assignment we were supposed to write about a school event that we attended this semester. The sad this about this for me is that i haven't really been to any... And my question is why?

 Maybe because I'm a lazy prick that never leaves my room... but that’s not the case i think i think that i just spend too much time in my room on the computer and chilling with my friends. you know tweaking out and doing stuff that we shouldn't be like slacking laughing when really we should be doing our homework or studying. 

But this entry sort of confused me because I mean I have been to events on campus just not school sponsored events. You know like parties, organization meetings, and other stuff...

Oh i think that i remember something I went to if this even counts as a event it was a reggie night 

You know where we get to bowl for free and do karaoke (if that’s even how you spell it lol ) 

The reason i went was because well I mean it was Free!!!! so why wouldn't I plus all my other friends were going and i had been many times before. And this night in particular there were a lot of people there and the thing i loved about it was it wasn't just black people or white people it was everyone black, white, tan, purple blue! whatever it was a nice mix and people were getting up on the karaoke embarrassing themselves and just having a good time. The bowling part i really didn't care for too much because i sucked and still do even though I’m in bowling class right now just FML!!!!!

But yeah like I was saying I just think that every time me and my friends go to those night we have a good time and let loose all the stress of the week we just laugh and have fun and who could ask for a better time plus there is free food available at the student services center but ppl rarely go get it because its so far away they should make it more convient for the students.. but that’s all hope I stayed on the proposed topic.lol

 

Change Is Possible

I don’t know about everyone else but when I got my APA grades I wanted to cry I had 2 D’s !!
No let me repeat that so I’m sure that yall heard me TWO D’s. I was devastated I mean I have a 3.0 and I don’t want to lose it becaue so much is riding on it grants, internships, and going Greek ! I just can’t have anything below I 3.0 and my French class was kicking my ass! Literally I mean I had a D in there ant hings where just not getting better. So I knew what ever I was doing was not good enough and that something had to change for me to see a change in my product. So what I did was made flash cards , did my workbook pages early and reviewed like crazy. And my result is I have a 78 in my French class now and all I had to do was give it a little more effort. Because at first I didn’t think that I was going to be able to finish the school year out and pass the class. It was so difficult and I failed every quiz I was beginning to feel hopeless but I knew I had to snapp out of it. Because I’m smarter than that and I can do it with the encouragement of my family and friends. I looked deep within myself and found the drive to get up off my ass and give the class effort.

Now to get down to my other D in English I mean how hard is it to write I paper right? Wrong I think I have like one of the hardest graders for a teacher. But that’s not a bad thing I think it just pushes me to write better so that I can get a better grade. I had to restart my paper 3 times!! Because I didn’t not understand the assignment and I hated that so what I did was study more read into the assignment more. Then I began to write my paper over and I think honestly this is one of the best papers I have ever written. I got my paper proofread by three different people and I went to ucla for writing assistance. So I know this time I cannot get a D on my packet. Because I put so much work into it I stayed up all night making corrections revising basically doing anything I could to make my paper the best it could possibly be. I’m praying for a B!!

Got all the riches and non of the knowledge

So the situation is that I have $80, 000 bucks none of which i can spend on school so you ask what will i do with all of the money
Well i would most likely invest it in the stock market and still some how go to school because without school you are limiting yourself and the knowledge you can attain
But i think that i would probably do hella shopping though because i have a shopping problem already so of that 80, 000 i would most likely spend about, 15,000 on clothes and shoes alone and i know that sounds terrible but knowing myself i would probably do that but i think this money would go in 1 of the 2 ways

1.doing missions work in Africa
I've always had a passion to do something big to help out a mass amount of people in a major way. i'm also a history and discovery channel fanatic so i've watched many documentaries on the horrors that the people of Africa face. It also made me open my eyes to the fact that just because in America people are free it doesn't mean that the world is free. And honestly that just burns me up inside like how can you live life knowing that you are a controlling factor in the part you play to end life. Making life worse for those who are so called beneath you! I just hate that I want to be the person to take a stand against the injustice over there. Because we all should be free and not let the color of our skin define a person within there social standing

2. Living lavishly
I know this is kind of a selfish way to live after getting the money. But I’m a person who likes nice things so if I have it why not live it up while I can. I would travel the world seeing the places I never seen before meeting different people and learning their culture. I mean that would be the most life changing thing for me to travel to exotic country’s to learn of their history and the ways of the people I think that would be most exciting!

I.S.U-Sania

Ok so here goes a few tips to keep you prospective RedBirds from tipping off the EDGE! 

1. Be open

My reason for saying this is because who ever you were in high school willnot matter once you get here. Its like another chance to evovle yourself into anything and anyone you would like to be. But you have to be open to the change and new people. Because the people here have no knowledge of who you are and what you are capable of. So coming here is like a fresh slate to become more of less of a person. When i got here i was really lost i didn't know who i would talk to but i knew that i had to come out of my shell and be able to speak to people. Becuase thats the only way i was going to meet new people and because i was open i'm very popular now. I know alot of people and that i know of all of them like me!

2. Be careful

Of coaurse college is full of wonderful people but with the good comes the bad. So with that you have to be careful of who you trust and who you let in your room and personal life. Because everyone does not have your best interest at heart. Some people have hidden agendas to do mean things so just be watchful. And don't trust your roommate to protect your things when you leave the room. Be responsible and lock your belongings up so you don't have to go through it blaming someone for stealing your stuff. And don't flaunt your money in front of people be secretive of important things like that. And please don’t tell all these people your business because everyone is not your friend. And they don’t have your best interest at heart. They could want to hurt you so get some real friends you can trust. They are like essential to being here!

 

3. Do your work

With college comes a whole knew found FREEDOM! And you can either master it or let it get the best of you! In college you are given sufficient time to do your work . so you must you take advantage of it and do what you’re supposed to when you are supposed to
