Marley & Me

Marley & Me was pretty good. Even though I am not a dog person, I still could sympathize with the people who are. A little background: It's Friday night and I didnt have anything to do, so I rented Marley & Me and Seven Pounds, which I haven't seen, yet. Anyway back to Marley & Me, it was basically about a young family who bought a dog that taught them a lot about life(sry if you haven't seen it). Well, the movie was pretty good. I like the part when the family moves to Philadelphia for the husband's job. I also like the part when the wife is honest about having kids, but not wanting to not have them if she could go back.

The dog was so cute. I ended up getting the movie because a lady in the video store said that she couldn't watch it after a little girl told her that Marley dies(sry again). Thats not why I got it, but thought it would be a good movie, and it was. I recommend it. It has funny scenes, loving scenes, drama scenes, family scenes and more. Marley & Me was really sweet. Its a must-see.

I Wanna Talk About Love

What is love, and is there enough of it going around today? So many times we tell the people that love us that we love them, but what's wrong with loving a stranger? And I not be surprised if some of us don't even tell the people that we love, we love them, either. Love is free and it takes little effort, but for some of us it is the hardest thing to do. I feel that if we had a little more love in our hearts, society would be a better place. With love, there is no room for judging amongst one another, backbiting, jealousy, or hurting. Even if one of those does occur, love allows us to forgive and even forget, if we wanted to. I wonder if I could ever love so selflessly, but then I realize that there is nothing to wonder about. I feel that we are created to love and to be loved-period. There are so many distractions like personal gain, which includes: success, status, and money. We forget the small things like giving selflessly, sharing, caring, and volunteering our time to those less fortunate. All of the things learned in elementary school are not taught anymore. I think they are things we need to know the most about, even at this stage in our lives.

Love to me, is not just something that we should say to our spouse or lover. To me, love is an action that includes being there for someone when they don't deserve it or may not even know what is best for themselves. Love is treating someone how we "should" be treated, I say "should" because some of us don't "want" to be treated with love. Some of us have a self-perceived image that we are not worthy of love, but those of us that feel that way need love, too. After all, we are created to love and to be loved-period.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. -Kent M. Keith

Spring Break

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!....lol..... It's Spring Break! A friend and I have a road trip planned. We planned on going to the Galleria Mall to shop. So far, I got a manicure and bought somethings that I have been on my list, for a while. I think I might go to My Spa, My Way, I finally have the time..... but not the money lol. A break for me would be a break without go to see a movie. I don't know what I will do today, maybe I'll just do nothing....not. I don't know what I am going to do, but I am going to do something. Maybe I'll take a pre-roadtrip to Northwestern to see some old college friends. I've been wanting to go for a while.



I got all my work done, and I went to class everyday this week. This break is well deserved and needed. I haven't been this happy to be on a break in a while. I guess I have really been working hard this semester. Well, I guess it's time to get back to my retreat. Talk to you soon!

Saturday Night

I am a college student, stuck in the house on a Saturday Night with nothing to do. I am trying to come up with something, but I can't figure anything out. I guess i'm tired of doing the same ol', same ol'. The options are to go to a movie, eat, or the Boardwalk, and that's what I usually end up doing with a few friends. My friend sent me a text, and we are in the same boat. She doesn't know anything that's going on tonight, either. I can't wait until I turn 21 on June 12, I'll have more options to go to places that stay open later. There is this nice place, but it is for people 21 and up. I cant't wait to see what it's like. I've heard good things.

I would like to be in my own apartment, invite some friends over and just chill. I would like to go to something where there is a purpose and a cause at hand, like a banquet or a charity ball. I can't wait for spring break. I would like to travel more, too. Hopefully, for spring break me and some friends are going to go on a road trip. So far, today, I did a load of laundry, cleaned my room and go a little homework done. I'm thinking going to go to the LSUS game. That's what I think i'll do. I am going to the game. I am going to text her back, and suggest gonig to the game. I will be supporting my school and having fun at the same time.

School Work

I chose to write about something that is heavy on my heart, and it is school work. I mean wow, this semester is the most demanding that I have encountered(not really just at this moment in time). I guess I thought it would be different, but hey I guess you get out what you put in. I just don't understand its like do they really expect us to do all of this work they are demanding on our break? We would be much more willing to do work if we actually got a real break. I don't mean to complain; I'm just venting my feelings. On a positive note, it could always be worse so thank God for some kind of break. I am also learning a lot about myself, like how I deal with stress and how much pressure I can take. It must be a lot because I haven't broke, yet. Hopefully, everything will work out for the better in the long run because right now I don't see the conclusion. I'm just in a rat race and I want to get to laying back, making decisions, and calling the shots, lol. Maybe I have a lot to learn and a long way to go, but it still feels good to talk about it. I know deep down that I am becoming a better person and a stronger person. I need to learn how to walk by faith and not by sight. I could say that it's all looking bad, but it's not. Hopefully, if the Lord says the same, I have a bright future ahead of me, and what I am going through, now is preparing me for it. I could say that I have it good, but that would be an understatement. The opportunities and privledges that I have are unmerited. I wish I could say that I had more support, but I know where my biggest source of support comes from, and it is my heavenly Father. I don't know where or who I'd be without Him.

Looking Up

Things are looking up. Test week is over and the stress is coming down and I'm looking up. This week I was just stressed out and didn't know which way is up, but now I feeling light, calm, and rested. I got my grades back, and I did good on my tests. I had work this week and I got all of my orders out for Valentine's Day on time. I love where I am at right now. I am thankful and content. I have learned that it is important to have balance and to prioritize. I got all of the importance stuff out of the way, and now I don't have to feel guilty about having fun and enjoying myself. When I do what is necessary, everything else just seems to fall in place. I have learned that Procrastination is not good, but being pro-active is. Hopefully, I will keep my new habits up. LOVE.
