Hello Bloggers, I know I haven't blogged in a while and I said the next time that I would I'd post a story. Well, I'd have to retype and format 10 pages so it will take some time. Well my life has changed a lot since the last post. I recently got a job and it's going really well. I had a fantastic Thanksgiving with my family and it made me very thankful for all of the positive people I have in my life. Anyways in less important but still relevant news, my ex broke up with me and I went through a tough time. Good thing I had my family to help talk me through it and give me some really great advice. Life goes on. I think that's very true now. I also had God and I knew I had to pull myself up and get over it. Back to life and relationships, I've met a guy named Edward and he's great. I know I wasn't single for long when I officially began a relationship with this guy. However, we had the best conversation over the phone and we stayed up really late just talking, like 9 am. We have a lot to talk about and we enjoy each other's company which is the foundation for any relationship. So we decided to become official and it's been going really great. Anyways, Christmas is around the holiday corner and I'm hoping to see some sign of snow or even snow itself. I know the spirit of Christmas began before Halloween but now it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas just like in the song. So anyways, Happy belated Thanksgiving and I'll be back to blog again. Until then, I'll leave you all with this saying "if you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side."
Recently, I've been looking at other people's blogs to help me see what fellow bloggers look for in a blog page. I've noticed that most of them are people who sell items that they have made. Some even share there drawings, photographs, and poems with others. Even though my blog doesn't have all of those creative aspects, my blog has something that most others blogs don't: stories about my life. Now I'm not saying that people should flock to my blog to read about my life but everyone likes to know that someone out there visits their site. I'm not the kind of person who follows a lot of blogs and tells others to follow mine but it seems like this is the best kind of advertisement for this site. It's difficult for me to blog because there is only so much I have to blog about or would reveal to the public. I have thought about sharing some of my stories and poems with others on the site. I can even say I've thought about posting some of my songs I wrote a while ago. The problem with this is that I'm my biggest critic and I happen to think I'm not very creative. I can't draw or write or design things which is fine with me because it's not what I choose to do. Although, I would like to be able to sew and create these unique items that I wish I'd see in stores. Sadly, I'm not a homemaker which is what the sterotypical image of women use to be. I can't cook or sew but I can clean rather well when I take the time to. The only thing I've sewn right are those little dot to dot pictures my elementary class would connect with string on the holidays. I can't cook from scratch but I can follow detailed instructions for cooking meals. Anyways, the point of this blog is make others aware that I know I don't have much to look at on my blog. I know that people out there would much rather read about fictional stories than real life experiences when it comes to blogs. Unless someone lives a really exciting life, others really don't want to read about the daily activities of a regular person. For the sake of my blog, I will try something different and see if that gets the attention of others. I will post a story that I had to write for an English class. If people like the semi-creative side instead of the regular opinionated side, then I will post more creative things in the future. The story will be on the next post I make. I hope this will let me know what I can offer to the blogging community. Thanks for your time.
Hello Bloggers! I haven't posted in a while but I've returned to update those who visit my blog. I just finished my second year of college and I'm waiting for my grades. I don't have much to worry about because I know that I passed my classes and will be receiving my Associates Degree document soon! I'm excited that I get a break from books for a while. I'm also somewhat sad that the experience is over because I've gotten use to the whole college environment. After much thought, I've decided to apply to other colleges to make an attempt a Bachelor's Degree in the Fall of 2010. 2010 seems far away but 3 months isn't enough time to get my paper work in order so it's obvious that I should wait. In the meantime, I'm just going to play the 'Waiting Game' until I get my transcripts which is in about a week. After I receive my paperwork, I'm going to start the transfer process and try to get a job. Even though I don't want to work right now, I think a job will give me something to do until August of 2010. I'm probably going to apply for a job at a couple of places near my house. I want to cut down the commute as much as possible since I'll only be part-time. I also had my braces removed from my teeth after wearing them for 2 and a half years. I'm not totally excited about it because I have retainer to clean for the next 2 years. Anyways, I'm a little tired from pushing myself to get things completed on time so I'm not looking forward to cleaning. I'm going to end this blog with a quote by my favorite president, Theodore Roosevelt: "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
Yes, school is in session early for me and hopefully it will be over soon. I have too much studying for too many tests. My birthday is next Monday :) and I have been studying for the past 3 days. :( My instructor has planned a test over 5 chapters even though I've only had 3 classes. I can't complain because that's the way college works. Even though that seems to be the saying, I still can't wait until I get some me time. Don't get me wrong, I like learning and I really like my major, Forensic Science for those that don't know, but I don't like the year round class sessions where I attend college. Every assignment is pushed together and I always have an information overload. Anyways, one of my friends had a slight operation recently. I bring this up because I want to wish her a speedy recovery and for her to know that she is in my prayers. Also, I know that there are people out there going through tougher times than me. I just pray to the Lord up above that things work out for the best. I know that everything happens for a reason so I have to let it happen. Other than helping my family move, I get my braces off my teeth in couple of weeks! Yes, for those that don't know, I have braces and I can't wait to get my retainer. Not that it really matters, but I figured I would blog tonight since I didn't on the Fourth of July. Well I have to get up early tomorrow and study some more so I'll end this blog with the saying "The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese." If you don't understand that saying, it means that the bird who sees the worm first gets it but the mouse who sees the cheese first gets caught in a mouse trap.
I've finished up with my classes and I get to relax for a couple of weeks before I have to get back to school work. My final grades haven't been posted yet so I have to play the waiting game. Even though I don't like suspense, I'm sure I'll be distracted enough until I receive my grades. Anyways, I don't have many plans for my "summer" break. On June 18th, I'm suppose to accompany my aunt and uncle to visit one of their friends. I haven't met him before so I'm kind of nervous about going with my family. Since I'm not good at making conversation with strangers, there is a good chance that I'll be quiet during the visit. It's not that I'm a shy person but I don't have anything to say when I'm around people I don't know or don't know well enough. I'm not sure if you have heard of the term "awkward turtle" but it can be applied to how I feel around certain people. Awkward turtle is when a silent moment occurs in a conversation or when something random or "out of the blue" happens. When either one of these things happen, a person places one hand on top of another and moves the thumbs back and forth which represents a turtle. The person doing this will say the word "awkward" slowly and loud enough for others to hear. I use the word "suppose" because these are possible plans and as you all know, most plans aren't certain. No one knows what tomorrow will bring so it's some what of a challenge to plan things in advance especially when it's more than a week in advance. My summer break ends before others who are in college so I'll have less time to make plans without worrying about my schedule. I still have an orthodontist visit and my birthday to look forward to but I'll be attending classes in July. This year will be the first year that I'll have class on my birthday. Yes, I'll be sitting in a room listening to a lecture while I could be out doing something with more birthday fun. Anyways, I can't really complain about it because it's not the first time I've had to do something I don't want on my birthday. Anyways, I have nothing left to blog about so I'll end this blog with the short song lyric "school's out for summer!" Which in my case, is a very short summer so the same level of excitement doesn't really apply to me.
I haven't been blogging recently so I figured I would post something today. I have been busy the past month with school so most of my free time has been taken up. It will be one whole month, in counting, until I get a break from school studies. Even though I can't wait until I get my "summer vacation", I'm more excited about getting through June and into July. It just so happens that my favorite holiday, 4th of July, and my birthday are in the same month! I don't do much for the 4th of July because I live in Georgia, one of those anti year-round firework states, and I can't seem to find a firework store or location that I would want to spend money at. Last year, I went to see the fireworks with my family and we had a good view from where we were sitting. The bad part was the wait for the actual show. I had to sit on the hot concrete for hours and listen to no name bands or recorded music I don't like. I was stuck in one location the entire time because I didn't want to lose my spot and it was too crowded to go anywhere. Leaving the firework site was a beast because of the people and car traffic. We had to walk down the street to the parking lot and then we had to find our way to the car. There was bumper to bumper traffic for about an hour and a half. I knew no one was able to go anywhere when I saw people get out of their cars to stretch. Anyways, my birthday is another reason that I want July to hurry up and get here. I'll be 21 this year and no I'll not be out drinking at a bar or night club. I don't want to be 21 to be able to drink but I want to be 21 because I'm tired of being 20. I just like the feeling of knowing that I made it another year and that I'll be that much closer to the next year. It's kind of like my personal New Year's Eve/Day which is usually only celebrated by people born on the same day as me. Anyways, I don't have anything else to blog about right now but I'll be back when I have more to type. This time, I'll end this blog with a phrase from a song that is sung by Daniel Bedingfield and is titled "Gotta Get Through This". "I gotta get through this, I gotta get through this. I gotta make it, gonna make it, gonna make it through. Said I'm gonna get through this. I gotta get through this.... God, God gotta help me get through this."
I'm just blogging tonight because I haven't blogged in a while. Other than class, I haven't had much happening in my life. I've got a normal routine, the old 9 to 5, and I don't look forward to it. I've gotten use to getting up at a certain time and getting home at a certain time. I'm use to waking up early and it keeps me from sleeping in late on the weekends. On top of going to class, I've been dreaming about class and all of the work I have to do. I wake up at night thinking I've got homework I need to get done in a couple of hours. There have been some days when I forget to eat when I'm hungry because I'm so consumed by work. My eyes start to hurt because I've got to work on typing assignments on my computer most of the time I'm home. I know that this won't always be the case when it comes to school but I also know that I'll have little time for me until this phase is over. During my free time, which is more like mini work breaks, I watch television and I relax until my bones and brain stop hurting. The only positive thing being over worked has given me is that I look forward to sleep now more than ever. Right when I get home from class, the highlight of my day is laying down and going to bed. I'm so exhausted that I don't even think I realize how run down I am. I don't have the time to analyze most things unless I'm multitasking something else with my school work. Anyways, it's getting late and I think you get my point by now. I'll end this blog with "all work and no play makes Teri a very blah girl."
HAPPY EASTER BLOGGERS! It's Easter today, hooray!, and I extremely love the holiday. When I was little, I would wake up and find an Easter basket near the fire place but I never found Peter Cottontail or any of his friends. For those of you that don't know about him, Peter Cottontail was a fictional rabbit that was in an Easter special called Here Comes Peter Cottontail. There was a sing-a-long song that went with his tale and it went like this. Here comes Peter Cottontail. Hoppin' down the bunny trail. Hippity hoppity, Easter's on its way! Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy, a basketful of Easter joy. Things to make your Easter bright and gay. He's got jelly beans for Tommy and colored eggs for sister Sue. There's an orchid for your mommy and an Easter bonnet too. Oh! Here comes Peter Cottontail. Hoppin' down the bunny trail. Hippity hoppity, Happy Easter Day! Here comes Peter Cottontail. Hoppin' down the bunny trail. Look at him hop and listen to him say, "Try to do the things you should and maybe if you're extra good, I'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way. You'll wake up on Easter morning and you'll know that I was there. When you find those choc'late bunnies that I'm hiding ev'rywhere." Oh! Here' comes Peter Cottontail. Hoppin' down the bunny trail. Hippity hoppity, Happy Easter Day! Anyways, I figured that he was the one sending me the baskets of goodies that had the all too girly porcelain dolls inside. When my family got together for Easter egg hunts, I'd spend my time looking for eggs and that furry critter. While my cousins were looking in the obvious spots, I'd look in the ones that I though Peter Cottontail would be hiding in. You know the ones where a big, noticeable rabbit would be so kids wouldn't be scared and run away? Well, he wasn't behind any trees or logs and I didn't find him in any high grass areas or flowery spots. Eventually, I gave up the search for that mythical and festive creature. After I figured out that the Easter Bunny was a hoax, I gave up on him and I have never gotten an Easter basket since. Anyways, I celebrate Easter every year with my family because in my faith, it represents the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I think that it is important to celebrate the holidays that commemorate important people in my life. I'm also a full supporter of celebrations because I like decorations, special occasion treats, and of course gatherings. I guess it goes without saying that my last name says it all, HOLLIDAY! Drop the extra l and every one guesses that I'm a holiday loving person which is completely true. All in all, everyone celebrates special occasions in different ways and for different reasons which goes along with the freedom of expression idea. Well, I'll end this Easterastic blog with a saying "Easter comes but once a year so enjoy the day while it's here."
It's April Fool's Day and I'm not completely thrilled about it. I'm not a good prankster and I don't like to be pranked. It's not that I don't have a sense of humor but I don't find some people's idea of humor to be funny. On top of that, people spring news on others and some people believe that news. It's like people over look the fact that information presented on April Fool's Day isn't always true. On the other hand, some people take humor to another level and they do things that aren't quiet legal. For instance, some people decide to egg a person's car or t-p a person's house while other people decide to steal highway signs or spread internet viruses. I don't think these things are funny and I definitely wouldn't commit those acts of disrespectful violence. You may think that these things are humorous and you may have even committed these acts or others for the sake of a joke. People have different types of humor and that's fine as long as you know the line between being funny and getting carried away. I think that April Fool's Day is meant to be a joke and I wouldn't really care to take part in it. Since people have different types of humor, some people can get really offended by another person's actions or words. I know it's dramatic to think that one "silly" little prank can lead to something serious but you never know what event could become a catalyst for other events. It's possible for someone to get seriously injured from performing tricks on a bike and it's possible for someone to become seriously ill from getting a mosquito bite. The point is that tiny things can lead to bigger things that might have been foreseen but that doesn't mean the person wanted the results one was given. I know what happens when I, or anyone else, assumes things which is that I make an a** out of you and me. If you don't get the saying then look at the spelling of the word assume. Anyways, jokes or pranks, or whatever term you use, should be thought about before being told or performed. Even if you have an idea about a certain person's reaction, you never know what kind of audience will hear the jokes or see the pranks. It's important to be cautious and courteous about certain, if not all, events that you take part in or help organize. You can have your own thoughts or reactions about what I typed because everyone has the right to feel or think differently from everyone else. When it comes down to it, the phrases "treat others the way you want to be treated" and "you reap what you sew" can definitely be applied to what I have typed.
Since the weather hasn't been on my side, I have had to take a rain check for my camping trip. I was bummed about not getting to go out and have plans but I knew that nothing I had planned was set in stone. I did get to spend a couple of nights in the camper while it was parked in my aunt and uncle's back yard. We had the electricity and gas working so we had lights, air conditioning, and a heater to use. The beds were a little uneasy on the back because the mattress had a wooden board under it. Over all, I had a fun time being outside and listening to the rain as I tried to go to sleep. Earlier on Tuesday, I went to my doctor's appointment and I was given some prescriptions which I don't want to take. I'm not a medicine dependent person so I wasn't happy about paying for prescriptions that I would rather do without. Anyways, I won't list the names of them because it is personal information and you really don't need to know everything in my life. So yeah I'm glad I took a rain check because I haven't been feeling 100 percent and I would have hated to go somewhere and pretend to have a good time. Right now I'm a little sleepy and I feel a little nauseous which are possible side effects of my medication. I would like to sleep away these unpleasant feelings but I know that it is nearly impossible for me to lay in bed all day. I hope I get back to feeling better by the time I have to return to classes this coming week. Anyways, I haven't been blogging that much recently so I figured I would post something today. Well, I'm off to rest for a little while and I will be back to blog again soon.^_^
I might actually have plans for spring break and I use the word might because nothing is set in stone yet. Anyways, I'm excited to have plans mapped out in my mind because I thought this whole break was going to be a complete waste. I admit that I like resting from all of the school work but I'd rather be doing something. I can't really do anything today because everyone has a full schedule that occupies their time.Tomorrow two of my aunts are suppose to come over to the house to help my mom plan a baby shower for my cousin. It will be a very uneventful day for me unless something unexpected happens like me helping with the planning process. Sunday I wont be doing much of anything because it's still the weekend and everyone I know will have plans of their own. I know these "plans" seem, for a lack of a better word, blah but everything starts picking up Monday. Monday I have to purchase books at school and get a letter of student enrollment for my mom's insurance then I might have to deposit some money into my account. Tuesday I have a doctor's appointment which I'm on the fence about because unexpected things can happen at the doctor's office. One minute you go in for a routine checkup the next minute the doctors are preparing you for surgery. :/ It's even possible to have good and bad results from the doctor which is another reason why it's not my favorite place to visit. Also on Tuesday, I'm going to my aunt and uncle's house to help them get some camping supplies together and spend the night there which I haven't done in a while. They recently purchased a pop up camper, I think that's what it's called, and they are planning on taking it up to Tugaloo State Park which is on the border of Georgia and South Carolina. Thanks to their kindness, my mom, step dad, and I are going to the campsite with them from Thursday until Sunday. I'm so excited to go camping because I have never been camping in a camper before plus I'm in desperate need for some fresh air. Since I've also never been to a camping site, I don't know what kind of activities they have there. All I know is that people fish and hike in the camping area which are two things that my family likes to do. We should be returning from the campsite on Sunday which I'm not going to think about right now. After Sunday, I'll have until Wednesday to rest and get my school supplies together for my classes that start on Thursday. I know that I don't have a lot planned for my spring break but it's more than I expected to have when spring break began. Hopefully these plans will occur and I can have an awesome time with the remainder of my mini vacation.
Yesterday I had such blast with my good ole' friend Ladipo, and her boyfriend. We went to the movies to see He's Just Not That Into You which was not that great. There were a few laughs here and there but most of it had my mind running in circles. Other than the movies, we went to a Japanese restaurant which I have never been to before. It was my first time eating Japanese food and I'd have to say I was just not that into it, lol. We did get to see a grill show where the cook makes the food for the whole table on an open grill. I didn't like all of the food touching because I tasted flavors of things I didn't order. Anyways, the cook was really talented and I did have a fun and interesting time there. We also went to a store called JoAnna's which I have also never been to despite that fact that it's near the movie theater. It is basically a craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby and it has really neat things in there. They were having a sale and I wanted to purchase things but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. My friend was looking for cupcake themed items and they had some really nice things there that were surprisingly CUPCAKE related. I didn't get to look for many penguin related things but I didn't see anything in the areas I looked in. At the end of the night, we just hanged out in Ladipo's boyfriend's car waiting for my ride to show up. We made jokes and had light hearted conversations which was the cherry on the cupcake of the night! Sadly, the night had to end and we had to go our separate ways. Hopefully, I can spend more time with Ladipo and we can hang out some time soon. We have made plans for a place called White Water which is a water theme park filled with watery fun! I think it would be a great place to go to during the summer or some other warm time of the year. Anyways, I had a great time spending time with my friend yesterday and I want to thank her on my blog.^_^
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU BLOGGERS OUT THERE! This is my first post for a holiday on this site. When I think of St. Patrick's Day, I think of the old leprechaun running around like the Lucky Charms icon. People chasing him for his marshmallow cereal and hoping that they will get the prize at the end of the rainbow. I know that this isn't how St. Patrick's Day began because the story of the man who started it all states differently. I think my misconception started when I was little because my elementary school teachers would get together and stage this seasonal event. They would tell the classes to go out to recess and then they would decorate the class rooms. Every inch of every room was covered with gold glitter, green streamers, green and gold balloons, paper four leaf clovers, and green paint in the shape of little footprints. There would be these rainbow clue cards hidden around the room and the students had to go find them then solve the riddle to find the "leprechaun". Once the leprechaun was found, the students would ask him or her for the pot of gold which was really chocolate candies in gold wrappers. Even though this is not an accurate depiction of the true story, I had a lot of fun solving the riddle and getting the chocolate at the end of the "rainbow".
I had a really great weekend and now I get to follow it up with a much needed break from classes. I have 2 weeks off for my Spring Break and I'm so psyched because all I want to do is be lazy and relax. Unfortunately, I can't relax the entire time because I have an orthodontist appointment this Wednesday. Yes I have braces and I have had them on for almost 2 years. I am suppose to get them off by the end of this year but I'm not going to think about it yet. Anyways, I have been doing well in my classes so far and I'm very proud of myself. I'm glad I have few worries when it comes to school because the last thing I want to do is obsess over something I cannot take part in for 2 weeks. Today I had a pretty easy day, as far as school days go, and all I had to do was go over a test then present my debate for class. Other then relaxing, I don't really have any other plans so I can't state anything at this point, as far as my schedule is concerned. I think that I will probably relax for the rest of the day and then go to sleep at 11 ish. It would be easier to rest if it rained a little bit every day because I like to fall asleep to the sound of rain beating on my house. Sometimes I turn everything off just so I can hear the rain which makes me fall asleep 90 percent of the time. Well I'm going to rest now and then talk to my boyfriend before bedtime.
Daylight savings time starts for me today and if you don't know it means, here is the definition. Time during which clocks are set one hour or more ahead of standard time to provide more daylight at the end of the working day during late spring, summer, and early fall. Of course I copied and pasted this from answers.com but anyways. The time on my clock follows the old saying, Fall back-Spring forward. However, my life doesn't because my schedule is controlled by the sleeping pattern I get use to. If I'm use to waking up at 8:00 am and I'm use to going to sleep at 11:00 pm, which is true in most cases, then I'm not happy when the time changes. I have to get up when it's actually 7:00 or 9:00 or go to bed when it's 10:00 or 12:00. I get confused with the time as it is and then I have to get use to new time that has taken effect. It's too much of a hassle to waste time thinking about the schedule I have planned so I just adjust my clocks and recheck my alarms. My simple method seems to work well for me and as the saying goes, "why fix something if it isn't broken?" So yeah, you may be like "oh geeze another pointless blog by so-an-so" or "doesn't this girl have anything to do on a Sunday, other than typing her thoughts on a blog?" Well, I don't think it's pointless because I think what I have to say is important and I'm sure you feel the same way about what you think. As for the whole Sunday thing, I do have to finish the play for class and I will probably get some questions done for my study guide. So yeah, I have it all planned out in my head and it saves time so I don't have to type all my thoughts on my blog.
I'm having some school work related issues. I have six assignments due in the next two weeks. For one class, I have to do a speech and a debate project. For a second class, I have to write a play and take a quiz. For a third class, I have to make up study guide questions and take a test. I know what you are thinking, that's not a lot of work to do in 2 weeks. I know that and I have no problem with the work assignments or the amount of time I have to do them. The problem is that I cannot start working on some of the assignments because my instructors have not revealed the guidelines for them yet. I won't know what to do for an assignment until the deadline for another assignment has come and I have turned in that assignment. It's like as soon as I finish one thing, I can't relax until I get another thing done. Everything seems to be piling up on me and I can't carry all of the work weight at once. Luckily, even though I don't believe in luck but I like the word, I have my speech done so all I have to do is present it. The issue I have with presenting my speech is that I GET SO NERVOUS! It's weird because I'm more comfortable standing in front of a group of people when they are not paying attention to me. As soon as all eyes are on me and I have to deliver a message, I get nervous and my heart rate increases, I sweat in certain areas, I blank out, and I speak so fast that I can't remember what I said when I'm done. :( As for the play, I'm making good progress on it because I have an idea of what I'm going to write so I just need to write it. The issue I have with plays is that I'M NOT VERY CREATIVE! I find it difficult to capture an audience's attention with words because I don't know what interests an audience. I know what I'm interested in but every one is different so I can't base my play on something that only I would want to read. Just like these blogs, for example, I could post whatever I wanted, as long as it was not breaking the terms and agreements of the site, but that does not mean people will want to read it. As for the rest of the assignments, I know I will get them done to the best of my ability and still be able to turn them in on time. My problem is getting work started because I find myself more likely to have questions about the assignment and my ideas once I begin working on an assignment. If it was up to me, I would take a week off of doing other things just so I could sit down and work my way through all the things I would have due in the next two weeks. Then again, I probably wouldn't be able to think about working let alone use my brain to tackle an assignment. To be honest, I could have gotten some of my play done yesterday but I was busy stressing out about my speech. I basically couldn't stop obsessing about one thing so I prevented myself from moving on to another thing. Once I got my thoughts in order, I spent the rest of the day listening to music just to clear my mind. I didn't make much progress yesterday but I'm hoping to turn things around and focus on getting through these next two weeks.
I was told to make a blog by more than one person. Apparently, it is the new fad or something. Anyways, I don't like putting my thoughts on paper. I have never been very good at it. I can't write papers very well, I can't make up good songs or poems, and I have never once had someone appreciate the effort I put into my writings. I guess I just don't have the talent to write. I'm not ashamed of it or anything. I'm not going to be a writer, a poet, a song writer, a screenwriter, or even a literary critic. What's the point? I rarely read in my free time. It does not excite me to sit down for hours and read the thoughts or ideas of another person. I read books, don't get me wrong, but I just don't take free time to read literature. It's just who I am. I'm an action person. I like to see things happen. I like movies and television. I like visuals. I dream in colors, words, and movements. Everything happens for a reason, I truly believe that. I just so happen to not be a fan of literature and that's just who I am.
