I've been severely neglecting this blog! Lately, I've been really into Tumblr because I can link it to my Twitter and Facebook and it's quick and easy. However today, I felt the need to blog...
I've had a recent encounter (that I don't want to get into) that's made me realize that I'm ready and want to be in a relationship. Up until this encounter, I was enjoying being single and dating, but now I think I want a boyfriend again:/ I just miss that companionship that comes with being in a relationship. I mean sure, the physical stuff is nice, but I really just miss being able to just talk to someone about my crappy day and have them cheer me up or to just do things together like go to the movies or something. I miss holding someone's hand and snuggling on the couch watching tv. I know it sounds super cheesy, but that's just how I am. I'm a typical girl:P So, instead of just passing over guys real quick and saying I don't want a boyfriend, I'll keep my mind open to the idea to a potential relationship with someone.

Bad, bad blogger
It's been a few weeks since my last entry and I'm very disappointed in myself for not blogging more, but lately I haven't really felt the need to vent/jot down any of my life happenings...don't get me wrong, Vegas was great! (except for Megan being sick practically the whole time), I'm just now starting to think about where my life is going and what I really want to do.
I keep going back to what I want for a career. I've always wanted to do something artsy. Ever since I was little I've wanted to be an artist. At first I wanted to do interior design, but realized that wasn't for me, and now I've switch to wanting to be a photojournalist. However, when I think about it, what jobs am I really going to get as a photojournalist? Maybe I should do something else? Maybe I should do something in addition? My mom just got me thinking about this recently: maybe I should do something with makeup, like be a makeup artist. I've definitely found a passion for makeup in the last couple years through You Tube gurus like Kandee Johnson, so why not follow that passion and see where it leads? I for sure want to finish college and get my degree, but after that I think I want to try out beauty school and cosmetology.
I've also been having issues on trying to move out. I keep looking around, but everything's either too expensive or a scam. I'm most definitely going to need a roomie, but so far the one I had in mind hasn't been the most reliable or responsible friend lately, so I'm starting to doubt her ability to pay her part of the rent each month. There seems to be some cute studios and 1 bedrooms out there, but I don't know if they're too small for 2 people and I don't really know who my roomie will be. My dream roomie would obviously be Megan, but she's just starting her first real good paying job this summer, so she doesn't have any money saved up like I do to move out. I started thinking about my one of my oldest and best friends, but I need to talk to her about it cause I don't know if she even wants to move out yet. It just sucks that I'm so ready to move out and be on my own, but I don't have many friends to have for a roomie and I really don't want to room with a stranger obviously. It's just everyone in my family seems to be developing their own lives and having their own issues that we don't see much of eachother, so it almost feels like living on my own anyway. At the same time, I'm at that age and time when I'm just itching to spread my wings and experience life on my own! Hopefully, I can sort this moving out business soon. My dream would be to find a place by summer.
Anyhoo, I really need to get some sleep since I have work in the morning.

Gearing up for Vegas!
I'm so excited about this weekend!!! But before that, I've got class and work tomorrow:( But AFTER that, I'm going to pack everything up and then see Alice in Wonderland at midnight! I'm slightly bummed though that I waited too late to get IMAX 3D cause they sold out, but I still was able to get regular 3D for Megan and I. So, we'll see that and then it's off to Vegas in the morning! :D Pops and I bought some yummy goodies for the drive there and I got a few travely things from Target and a super cute little bag! Anyhoo, I'll post photos when we get back cause certain things don't have to stay in Vegas haha

Dolly bags!
I've just discovered Dolly bags! They're handmade retro inspired bags with serious durability! There're so many cute ones, I can't decide which one to get! I might have to splurg and get myself one for my birthday....

Vegas here I come!
Yay! I booked everything for my birthday trip to Vegas! The plan is to leave early on the 5th, check in, and go see Phantom. Then on the 6th, gamble, drink, explore, and then Thunder from Down Under. We'll be staying at Treasure Island and I'm so excited! I can't wait!!! I'm so excited, my mind can't seem to turn off for me to go to bed! Plus, I have a quiz in the morning on a book I only read the first couple chapters of and I'm kinda nervous about that. I know the basic plot cause I looked it up, but still. Anyhoo, I need to start looking for some cute outfits for Vegas haha

Early happy vday to me!!
Yesterday, Megan and I went a little crazy at Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. Urban was having an awesome 50% off of sale items sale and we got a bunch of cute stuff. I got a really cute plum wool dress for $15, an adorable cloche type hat for $5, a b/w sweater for $10, and a super cute blue high-waisted pencil skirt for $15. Then we went over to Horton Plaza to Forever 21 so I could look at the new Twist collection. I have to be honest though, I wasn't that impressed. They didn't have a lot of the pieces I wanted online and the ones they did have didn't look as cute in person. So, I just ended up getting a pair of blue flats and a cute red bow belt. Overall, I'm very happy with my valentine presents to myself lol.
Well, I need to get ready for my film class. Crossing my fingers for no technical difficulties!

I will become the next Top Chef! Well, not really...
Classes are going well. Not too pleased with my film classics class turning out to be classics from 1960 to present though. I expected 1920 to maybe 1970, but oh well. We started watching The Graduate and next week we'll watch Mash. I forgot how good looking Dustin Hoffman was in The Graduate haha. Anyhoo, all my other classes are good and I haven't gotten too much work. Yet.

Fun classes, sore muscles, and goals for the year
So far, my classes are great! I really like my profs and I'm super excited for this semester! I think this is the first semester that I'm truly excited for and think that I'll actually learn some valuable info from my profs. I'm super pumped for my history of rock n roll class cause it focuses on the physcodelic rock of the 1960s! I start my film classics class on Monday night and I can't wait :)
I just started working out a couple days ago and I went with my mom to her personal trainer, and boy am I SORE. I feel like an old crippled lady. I literally have to "fall" to sit down anywhere and that includes the toilet. I'm determind to get into shape though by my bday. I'm going to start not eating "junk" tomorrow (or today I guess). I went out with a bang though tonight and had oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.
A few goals I have for this year (since I don't like calling them resolutions) are:
-Get back into shape i.e. go to gym, go to mom's trainer, and eat better
-Be more involved on the paper
-Get to know my camera better
-Find a place with Maria and move out
-Relocate to a real Starbucks
-Replenish my wardrobe with more retro inspired things
-Play around more with vintage hairstyling
I need to go to Forever 21 because they have a new retro inspired line and there's some super cute pieces. For example:

It's been awhile...
Wow. I apologize to myself for not blogging for a long while. So, what have I been up to? Well right now I'm gearing up to go back to school. I'm kinda excited because I'm taking some fun classes and I only have class Monday nights, Tuesday and Thursday! I'm taking a film classics class, the history of rock 'n' roll, science in science fiction, and cultural pluralism (I have no idea what this is, but it fills a GE requirement haha). The only class I didn't get that I wanted was my b/w photography class :( I'll just have to take it either during the summer or in the fall.
As far as work goes, I really need to find a new job. I'm really not liking Target Starbucks. For example tonight: Maria's my "precloser" till 7:30 then she leaves and I'm alone till we close at 9 and I get a half hour to clean. She ends up having to give Food Ave their 15 min break and 45 min lunch, leaving me by myself to preclose, take orders and make drinks, so it's basically like she's not there. THEN I'm told by someone else that the LOD wants me gone by 9:30 because I've been staying 15 to 20 min later to leave a nice close for the morning person. Just to give some perspective: a regular Starbucks gets 3 people to close and they get 45 min. and I'm alone and get 30 min. If the freaking LOD wants me out of there on time and leave a decent close then they're crazy and there needs to be 2 closers or at least the precloser needs to stay until 9 or 8:30 at the earliest. So, all in all, I need to either get at a real Starbucks that will treat me well and make me not loathe coming to work or find something totally different. I mean at this point, I seriously don't want to go to work because the people in charge have created this awful environment. Now, Maria did speak with the manager and supposively we're going to be getting more hours so we'll have more people there at a time, but I'm doubting that will happen. I think it's time to put in another round of apps to all the Starbucks by my house.
On the house note, Maria and I are trying to find a place to move into. We found some really cheap 1 or 2 bedroom apartments around State which would be nice. However, we both are waiting on financial aid to come in so we have a bit of money to also buy Stagecoach tickets. And of course I've been saving up money for my bday trip to Vegas. Hopefully that trip will pan out. I just need to get together with my mom and book a hotel and Phantom tickets. I mainly just want to see Phantom and maybe go bar/club hopping. I don't really care about going to a fancy restuarant anymore cause let's face it, I'm not rich! And I also don't know how much my mom is planning on pitching in, if anything, cause we're all broke. Sure, I got my Europe trip when I was 15, but my sister has had plenty of Jonas Brothers concerts that make up for that, so hopefully I won't be paying for this whole trip. I don't mind paying for most of it like the hotel, tickets, and gas, but hopefully everyone who goes can at least buy food and drinks! haha Anyways, this post is long enough and need to get to bed so I can get up at a decent time to get my hair cut.
