Purses and Shoes

Ok as you should have already figured out I am a female, and as such I have a distinct love for purses and shoes. Not that I have a need to be fashionable or anything like that, but I just love to have a functional bag. Now the shoes they have to be cute.(Fashion here is a must).
The question that I have today is why do some people feel the need to rag on others who carry fakebags?
Now I personally would not a carry a bag that was obviously a fake, but as a college student I can not afford to pay for a bag that cost 200-300 dollars.... Thats 1-2 textbooks and a gas for almost a month. ( The way that I drive)
But really as we know at every HBCU in the country there are vendors that are going to sell knock-offs that are extremely close to what the real thing is supposed to look like. So why not cope a fake and still have money to go to the club with it or out to dinner instead of having to wrap the bag up and store it away in your closet because you have no money left to go anywhere and rock the bag.
Hey so I say if the bag is cute wear it.... if not just leave it alone.... and just so you know I own two Coach knock-offs and they are real cute.... For those of you that see me everyday see if you can spot them.

Hump Day Wednesday

So today I have a very important test (Biochem) that I feel ill prepared for but I'm going to chug along and go through the rest of the day studying... But I'm at work now.... ho hum. ( I've only had three hours of sleep so my mental capacity is not up to par)
It is so cold here.. What ever happened to gradual changes in the weather... one day the sun is burning a hole through your brain and the next your wearing layers ( But i did get to break out my new boots today so thats ok).
My room is in desperate need of a makeover.. it looks like Hurricane Wilma curved through there for a minute... but thats what usually happens when everything in my life collides (i.e. my two jobs and full-time education).
I'm going to try and make large strides today... so pray in general and in abundance for me so that I might accomplish my goals for the day.
Well thats all for now I might write more later.

Homecoming is Over and School starts Again

Well this weekend was homecoming and I was able to have a best time that I have ever had during a Famu Homecoming weekend. I'm getting closer to some of the goals that I have made for myself during the school year and I was able to hear something from someone that I was really speculating about but wasn't sure if I could ask about. So right now I'm walking on cloud nine until tomorrow when I have to start taking test again. Really tonight because I need to start studying.. I'm such a procrastinator.

Jobs... Addendum

Well maybe I'm not ready to quit just yet... you know how things change as the day goes on..... I'm going to let some of the changes go into effect... I'm going to stop being pigheaded and start speaking my mind about things that involve me. Ok Ok.

Jobs.....

Why do college students need jobs. Some people get them to pay their bills in their apartments, others get jobs to cover the cost of their education. Still others would just like to have Mad money that they can spend and throw away every month.
Well for the entirety of my college career I have worked for the Premier Electronics retailer Best Buy, and recently over the last two years I have been working an additional job just to make sure that I had an off-campus residence and could travel when I pleased. The problem is that I am tired and for the longest I have felt bad about being tired. I feel that everyone is counting on me... my bosses, my teachers, my advisor, my parents, and my self. I even have my little cousins that lookup to me and they want to be like me. Thats beginning to be a whole lot of pressure.
So over the last couple of weeks I have played the tired game; the one where I am unable to participate in the organizations that I am apart of, as well as not having anytime to enjoy myself and to study... I'm coasting and that is not how I wanted to spend my senior year. So in the next two weeks I will be giving my two week notice for Best Buy. The holiday season is coming and I'm going to spend that time with my friends and family. Two whole weeks in Mobile... with no worries.
So why am I still feeling guilty. I feel bad.. like I shouldn't be doing this. I have money and I can save enough to make sure that my bills are covered for the beginning of the year. Also if I absolutely needed help there are those people around me who could provide... but again I feel that I am letting someone down in my life. But that person is not myself.
I guess Homecoming has really been the last straw for me. I'm a Senior there is absolutely no reason that I shouldn't be enjoying this situation and feeling...
I guess I want to be what I have not been in a very long time and that is just a student. I want to be able to do the things that my counterparts do on a daily basis and have a amounts of quality time that they have. Plus as a student I can't be closing till 11:00 on a week day during the school year.
I'm beyond the wire at this point and I don't think anyone really understands that.
I'm going to focus and pull out a stellar year with my last opportunity. If anyone has a comment on working while being a student please feel free to post in the comments area.

MCAT Scores are Back

So last night after 12:00 (see college students do stay up after 12:00) I went online to find out what my scores were for the august testing of the MCAT. Although I didn't do bad .... It was definitely not my best. But I'm not going to take it again...Why you ask???
Because I already am accepted to Medical School, I retested to see if I could place extremely high and that didn't happen so I know of at least one place that I can go and several others that will consider me. So today I begin the journey to complete my AMCAS application because they are due for some of the schools that I'm applying to tomorrow.
The Vertigo is back.
I really don't need to be getting sick here at the end of my college career. I really need to go and see a doctor.. oh and take a vacation.

Another Thursday

Don't you know that during the year you start referring to the days as another Monday, Another Tuesday, another Wednesday... and so on and so forth. Well thats the plight of a college student. A friend of mine was saying the other day that you are just not a college student if you go to bed before 12:00 everynight,and the sad thing is that that statement is so true. My days begin to run into each other until the week becomes a blur. I have be experiencing some extreme cases of vertigo (dizzy spells) and I really want them to stop.(List: Remember to purchase some medication)
Homecoming is almost upon us and I'm trying to get my friends to come down and party with me..... Whoo hooo. Nothing like a FAMU Homecoming.
So the question of the day is:
How can I legally make money if I quit my jobs? So that I will still be able to pay my rent and put gas in my car. Those are the only things that I have to do.. Everyones input would be appreciated.

TGIF ( Thank God Its Friday)!!!!!!!

It's the end of the week and what a week it has been. I'm tired, depressed, and wore out and all of this is just going to repeat again next week but it's Friday and I don't have to work again until Monday at the earliest. ( But as you know school work doesn't end). So I plan to take a relaxing break over Saturday. Try to clean my room to bring back some organization to my life.

Famu Homecoming ( Whoop, Whoop, Whoop)
It's finally here..... My very last Homecoming. I really can not believe that graduation is oh so close but yet so far away.
For those of you that have never been to a FAMU Homecoming it is an event to end all events. I will repost with the schedule attached at a later time. But the ENTIRE week is filled with events. There is nothing like it in the world.

Well I'm going to try and get some rest after I get off work and wake-up rolling in the morning. Peace.

Blahhh Tuesdays

Well this is another Blahh Tuesday, it is only 1pm and I'm already tired but my day doesn't end until after 12 tonight. The things we college students do for money. I'm thinking about skipping class and just going home and taking an hour nap.That way I'll be ready for more work and for my interview for SGA senator. I want that position so bad but I don't think I will get it with bloodshot eyes they will probably think I'm on crack or something.

Ok so the dilemma today is whether or not to wear earrings to the interview. I have a nice pair that match the dress shirt that I'm wearing today but I'm not sure if those earrings aren't to flashy, I feel that they may detract from the seriousness that I'm trying to portray today. Definitely a Dilemma.

Countdown to the Weekend

I can't wait until this weekend. I'll be at home with my mother,eating her cooking. For those of you that don't know I'm from the beautiful Port City of Mobile, AL. This Weekend is the Classic between Southern University and Alabama State University. Now one of my friends is Miss Southern University so even though I am from Ala I will be cheering Southern on hopefully to a victory. My sister is going to be in town and I hope to Ball till I fall with my friends.
What a wonderful world.

On my quest to inner enlightenment I have vowed to myself to lose the freshmen 15 (Really 30) that I have gained since I have been in college. The actual losing isn't the problem.. Because I don't mind working out. It's the fact that I have no time. None at all. So just finding 15-30 min is nearly impossible. But that is my goal before Christmas break. School I going wonderfully I know of one class right now that I'm definitely going to get an A in.

Solicitation

I like when people make comments to the blogs that I write, But I don't not like solicitation. If you want to rep your personal and I repeat personal blog... Feel free. But If your selling something or your hawking porn this is not the forum for that. Not all of the information found on the internet is spam and porn and this site is going to be one of the few on that list.

DAMNNNN

How about this bullshit. The guy that I have been spending time with had the nerve to tell another female (that he is obviously interested in) that and I quote "I don't like her like that". Is this the universal Guy language for , Yah baby I like you like that (wink,wink). Men are so slimy... I had already decided not to talk to this cockroach but that statement just confirmed everything that I was already feeling. So again I reiterate that men in college are DOGS.....

Ahhhhhh..... I should be studying

Ok.. So I'm sitting in the biology computer lab on campus ( did I mention that I am A biology major), well I just felt that I need to write something for the day. First I wake up early, no college student should ever have to do this, just so that I can go and pick up my car. So I call and they still don't have my car ready... I knew this was going to happen. So I go back to sleep. (oh well why waste a good hour). Anyway so last night I was supposed to be studying for the A &P lecture tests that I have today... But I didn't. Sorry I was tired and feel into the old trap of just a 30 min nap will do. So I'm hoping to study between classes.. And what am I doing Blogging my life away.. So I am done and I'm seriously going to go study... Because this is my last year and Im outta here.

The Dreaded Accident

Well I was in a car accident recently and let me tell you that the experience has been nothing but horrible. First my car is older but I take very good car of my baby. But even still on a college student budget things sometimes get forgotten. Well I I was in this accident that totally ruined my bumper, and a day after the accident my car starts popping and straining trying to take the hills around town. This is OBVIOUSLY accident related because my car wasn't doing this before. Well the insurance company for the person who was at fault calls me and the first adjuster was really nice and helpful, at First. So she sends me to a body shop who then orders the parts to replace my bumper... Now here comes the weird part. The body shop that I went to was on a dealership, but they can't look at the mechanical problems that are wrong with my car. I have to go to another shop and have the work analyzed and if they don't FEEL that the repair work is accident related then I have to pay the shop for even looking at my car. This is just plain craziness ( my catch phrase).
Why should I have to pay someone to find out whether or not you are responsible for these damages. It is obvious that they are, and if anything they should want to minimize the amount of work that they really have to pay for by regulating the repairs (i.e. choosing their own mechanic, shop etc.)
But thats not all. So I go in to have my body work done and they send me to get a rental car for the day while they complete the repairs, so I get to the rental car company and they ask me for a $25 deposit (Whatttt) No one happened to mention the fact that I would have to have a deposit.... what if a didn't have any money on me ... more specifically a credit card... for Gods sake I am a college student., and then they tried to sell me insurance on the rental car. What are they thinking!!!????
I will never, never, ever get into another accident because this process has been horrible.

Men... what is their Problem

I recently sat down and was talking to some friends of mine and asked what they thought about College men.
Well the general consensus was that they are all no good and don't really know what they want out of life. Here I am a 20-something college student, getting an excellent education, and with major prospects as fair as grad school is concerned.(Medical School here I come.) But I can't find a guy that is even interested in a relationship. Some might say it's the whole marriage thing... and not being ready to settle down, but I disagree. Im not looking for marriage. All I really want is a Commitment.
OOHHHH... the C word.
Why was it so easy for men to accept this in high school. Yes high school, do people realize that the majority of the men that I know had a commited relationship in high school. Atleast one if not more than that. So why the sudden reversion when they come to college, why the two step forward one step back routine. Well I for one I'm tired of waiting on the men in my life to grow up... So I say to them GOODBYE.
(well you know my number when you do grow up)
And for those of you preverts out there this does not mean that I'm moving on to women. I just can't see how supposedly intelligent college age men can continue along the path they are taking as far as women are concerned. If anything learn this lesson fellas. We are tired of waiting, ( and they wonder why so many of us date older men. UGGHHH)

My first Blog

Well I'm giving in and have decided to share many a varied thoughts with the world.. But first this has to look right so I'm playing around with my options. So keep checking back to see what I write.
