Do You Like Paste?

I havent blogged for sometime now. I promise this is the last blog for this year. Hope to see you all next year. I want to thank those who actually read StayingAliveInCollege. I think I humor myself more than my readers. So thank you for writing me and telling me your thoughts. Thanks to Lizzy who helps me when I have writers block. You are awesome. Thanks to everyone who has inspired me and dont even know it.
So a New Year means a new beginning and something great to come your way!
Rule11# Hey, Do you like paste?
Remember those good old days when you could push the kid off the chair, help them up, and then become their best friend? Or was that just me? Anyway, how do you make friends when you are an adult. This has been bugging me but it is possible to find someone else who isn't interested in paste and does just listen to the Jonas Brothers. If you were dying to figure out the name of the girl next to you in class, just state these few easy words, "Hey, I was wondering if you got the notes from last class because I didnt understand half the things Mr. Bob the Builder said." Its that easy. Hello isnt that hard. Just be yourself and brush your teeth.
Rule 12#. But you are a cheater beater who eats pumpkin eaters.
Games we play in college stay with us all our years. They can be fun or just plain stupid. But you enjoy playing them anyway. Ok, I have one game to play. Its called the Name game. Its a great way to meet new people. Place chairs in a circle(one less the amount of players you have). There should be one person in the middle. Before you start, makes sure you go around and find out everyones' names! So the middle person is trying to get out of the middle. This is where it gets fun. The person in the middle has a foam finger as their tool(power to the finger). The goal is to wack a person who is sitting down before they say a name
Example: Guy in the middle walks up to a girl and says her name before wacking her
"Sarah" wack. She stands up and she ends up in the middle and he sits in the seat. BUT. If she says a name before he wacks her then he has to go to the person with the name she said.
Example:
Middle guy says "Sarah" before he wacks her, she says "Ben". Now he needs to go to Ben and try to wack him before he says a name.
Get it. Well. I hope you do!
Well, next time I have a short rule on guys but please enjoy your New Year!
Good luck and God bless

Santa Louis says!...

Merry Christmas everyone! I understand that not all of you celebrate so I will make my first politically correct statement:Happy Tummy. I have noticed that every holiday has plenty of food. So Happy Tummy it is. But I will always celebrate Christmas and remember the real reason for the season.

I have two rules for today!
Rule #10: Dear Santa, Please delete what I did yesterday and read my list!

I am a full believer in Santa. I love the guy. He is jolly and brings a kind of magic to the month. Even though we are in college, that shouldnt stop you from writing a Santa letter. Write down your greatest wants. Something fun! Crank up the radio or your favorite Elvis Christmas cd and start writing. Its fun and it makes you feel like a kid again! Note: Do not sit on Santa's lap. You are about 15-20 points heavier than you were say at age 8. And prices of photos with Santa have gone up. But remember, the real Santa is at Macy's! So drag your little cousin and say you are going just for him. Santa can do a two for one!

Rule #11: What you talking about Santa Louis!
Ok, I am talking about decorating for Christmas(or Happy Tummy). So I heard you can get cheap stuff at Fred Meyer! But I am the unknown spokesperson for Walmart and the Dollar Store. I walked into the Dollar Store the other day and found everything I needed. They had a little tree and ornaments. I even found some lights! It was perfect! I walked out the store with three bags and only spent 10-13 dollars. They even had Christmas bags and stuffed santa dolls. Very cute stuff!

With everything you do, do it with a smile on your face. This time of year is for family, friends, magic, and faith!. Just remember the reason for the season. And please dont ask me what a partridge is!

Merry Christmas
Good luck and God bless

Swinging doors and Finals Chocolate Music!

Sorry, it has been awhile since I have been on here! I hope finals are going well and the Christmas shopping. Yes, it is that time of year. Spilled hot chocolate while walking out Starbucks and your mind going completely blank when your professor asked you to define the word 'happy'. Was it a trick question? Oh, wait that was my week. Ok. But never trust those auto doors. They ar truly out to get you! They just want to see that hot chocolate dump on your new top right before your next class.

Anywoo. I have rule#9 right here.
Santa's List: Three pencils, two jobs to pay for all I will spend,and partridge in a pear tree.

It is that time of season to study and to study hard. Finals week is just around the corner. Even though you have a hard time remembering what the square root of 12 was, you can try to dust off those text books. Two weeks you can make it, but with a little help. It seems like a lot of my answers to problems have to do with music. This may be true! So enjoy the Christmas celebration with a lovely Silver Bells!

When you have time to pull yourself away from the Intro to Biology(I'm sorry), do some of your Christmas shopping. Being in college, money can be tight. So, every year I go to a craft shop and buy those nice little ornaments you decorate. People enjoy a little bit of love with their gift. If you aren't arty, then I am sorry. Just kidding. If you have siblings, spend a little one on one time with them. Even the smallest things can be the greatest gift.

So, as college students we like to have fun. So chill out with Nysnc Christmas and Relient K Christmas music cds. So what's a partridge? What's a pear tree? I dont know so please dont ask me! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Good luck and God bless
