Rolling Down the River...

Well, I was thinking yesterday how busy life really is. Before the semester, I focused on spending time with family, friends, working out, and just going day to day. During the semester, you cant do this. You need a plan.
Rule#4: Rule it then Do it!
Make sure you make it a plan in your life to make a plan! Yes, you will have to remind yourself to plan your day. Funny, a. Sticky notes are great. Pink, orange, and yellow ones all over your dorm wall reminding you to make reminders. So if you are tired of the plain white walls...

But within this plan you need time to work out. Never buy a gym membership. I find it funny that the people who say they need one are already skinny. Or maybe its the new place to find a date. But, who wants to really come up to you when your wearing sweats, a over sized hoodie, and stained sneakers. Yep, I feel so attractive looking like that. Dont forget my glossy lips. I promise you that is not gloss making them shine.
Rule #5 : Rollin, Rollin,Rollin Down the River
Dancing! Staring at the guy lifting weights at the gym might be an interesting past time but you wont get anywhere. Turn up the volume on your stereo and rock it out. In the back of your dorm closet you have those cds. You know the ones. They are boy bands with Nsync and Backstreet boys. Be proud to say bye bye bye to the donut you ate in study hall! Spend 15mins every night dancing and moving around to a song on the radio. Not only will you have fun but you will feel great! You might miss the guy at the gym. Personally, I rather be singing with JC and Justin without my makeup on. They dont judge my sweats nor my incredible air guitar. Its a win win!
Good luck and God bless,

School and Muy Fresco

College is a job all in its own. Its like working for a boss that pays you in As and Bs. But I will work for cheerios. Living this way is tiring. I just want to crash on my bed and sleep through the entire semester.
I now dream in Spanish. Yep, muy fresco! Si. lol. I also dream in American Government and Literature. I had a dream where I was running from a guy saying, " Como estas, chica. Como estas, chica." The saddest thing is that we are only half way through the semester. HALF WAY! I need a break! I need time off.
Rule #3: Sing in the shower and sleep a little later.
So we are trying to make it through the rest of the semester. Try this little wake up tool. Sing in the shower and sing LOUD! "ITS A HARD ENOUGH LIFE FOR US. ITS A HARD ENOUGH LIFE FOR US.DADADDDA. " Annie songs are a good choice. Try " I FEEL THE LOVE, I FEEL THE LOVE, ITS REALLY REAL. WALKING ON SUNSHINE. OHYEAH!!" Classic and you feel good. You will start dancing under the hot water. When you step out, you are ready for the day.
I am the kind of person who needs sleep, atleast 5 hours. But I havent been getting the needed amount. Try to sleep a little later. If you can't, go to bed a little earlier. Get sleep. If you can't seem to shut your eyes, try watching infomercials. We might love Oxy Clean and that ladder thingy, but after 10 minutes you will be out!
Have fun!
Good luck and God bless

THE SWEET SMELL OF WEEKENED

Finally! After slaving away on midterms, I am done(for now). One thing.
One go hit the movies this weekend. We got Free Style with the handsome Corbin Bleu. Don't forget to see Whip It! The lovely Drew Barrymore will be in the up and coming star Ellen Page.
I'm done with that little public announcement.

Legally Blonde and Poptarts

I was watching Legally Blonde the other night. Not the greatest of movies, but it made me think. You probably are saying to yourself, "Why? Its a dumb movie." But think about it. College is not all fun and games. You have to work at it. You have to prove yourself. You have to be ready for anything. You have to have good hair. Wait no, you dont have to. Its ok to have split ends. YES!!!

This is my midterm week. So I need to prove myself more then ever. So I have a tip for you.

Rule 2# The human mind cant focus on any one thing for more than 10 minutes. SO TAKE A POPTART BREAK.

Dont be stuck in your dormroom all week studying. Hit the books, but make sure you take a second and breath. Everything will be ok. Its a hard time, but you will make it.
So get As and Bs. Breath! Never watch Legally Blonde more then ONCE and enjoy your Poptarts.
Good luck and God Bless

Confessions of the Ranting College Student

Ok every Tuesday, I will have a new rant! Sorry, but there are somethings about college and single life that I have to complain about.

First off, girls( I dont know if guys do this) turn off your cellphones while in the bathroom. Dont talk on your phone while using the restroom. That is just plain nasty.

Secondly, college is not your dormroom. I know in your dorm you like the comfy clothes with the slippers. Thank you God for creating the man/woman who designed fuzzy pink slippers. It has made my world a better place. But dont come to class in them. Its just wrong. Your professer dresses up in nice clothes and showers, but you dont. Yes, you dont shower! You know who you are. The smelly kid in the back row. You have the sweats, the baggy tshirt, and the slippers. Your hair is sticking every where. That's not styling jell keeping the back of your head flat. I like to call it NAP HAP!

Last, but not least, I would love to rant about the pursy girls. You know your name. Some are Brittany's or Katie's or Jamie's. Whatever your name is. You cant fit all of your books into a little purse or that Mary Poppins thing you lug around. If you want to share my book once, I'm ok with that. But over and over, every class! Backpacks can be a fashion statement.
Todays tip: Purchase a backpack or a mailbag. You will use it for the rest of your life!
Good luck and God bless,

Peanut Butter and water!

This is the life a college student. This is a handbook on how to survive college and the first few years after.

Rule 1# Peanut butter and water!

Surviving college is like watching the sun set at noon, the time takes forever and you can get a horrible sun burn if you dont have the proper supplies. Morning classes can be a torture. Waking up at 6, running out the door without coffee, breakfast, or your glasses. Then sitting through a 2 hour class about the history of the apple tree (of course you dont care and you would rather watch your hair grow!). This has happened to me more then once! Sometimes, I want to roll up in a little ball and cry, while chanting the words " I want my mommy" in Spanish to practice for the upcoming test.
If you feel like this in the morning, take a bottle of water(NOT COFFEE). Coffee drains you quickly. Right when the professor asks you to describe the foundation of the ancient Western civilization in atleast 3 examples, you feel like takinga nap on your desk using the textbook as a pillow. Water keeps you going and awake. Water also helps with hunger pains, so dont worry about the first year weight gain!
Last but not least, I say peanut butter makes life better! Do you realize how many kinds of peanut butter are out there! Its incredible. Dark chocolate peanut butter, cranberry peanut butter, and my favorite, extra chunky peanut butter. This is a fast breakfast. It sounds nasty but it works!. Take a spoon and spoon out a chunk of the peanut butter and eat that on the way to class(either plain or on a piece of bread). Protein will keep you awake, in shape, and builds up the memory. It also tastes incredible.
Good luck and God speed,
The Junior!
