If you believed in it, you would be doing something about it (myspace)

When you thing Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
the way we danced all night long
the moon like a spotlight on the lake.
When you think happiness 
I hope you think that little black dress
think of my head on your chest
and my old faded bluejeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

Totally in love with that song. But in other news...


THINGS I HAVE LEARNED THIS SEMESTER
(because it obviously wasn't anything in the classroom!!!)
1. Dropping a class does not make you a bad person.
It means you are willing to admit defeat, and know you signed up for more than you can handle. It also means you are keeping yourself from ending up in the emergency room because you body has way too much stress on it.

2. Sometimes late night conversations are better than studying 
Sometimes your friends really need you. Sometimes you really need them. Sometimes it is just knowing that the memory of walking around the Bear Trail and talking about how you want to pick up the brick from the construction site will stick with you far longer than the formula for calculating the Variable Overhead Variance will. Or the memory of lighting the Christmas Tree at 2am during finals, the sick slumber parties, the endless movies and giggling, the recruitment talks and random deep conversations... etc.

3. True friends will do ANYTHING for you. 
Sometimes anything is pick you up when you stayed home from school sick in bed and take you to the mall. Sometimes its bringing you Pei Wei because you had a bad day and can't stop crying. Sometimes its bringing you medecine when you are both broke and sick. Sometimes its a shoulder to cry on, help with homework, or a place to crash.

4. Family is forever. 
Going home for Easter, I LOVED seeing my cousins. I don't know why, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but it was so fun to sit around and laugh with them and be goofy. And my brothers... ohhh goodness. There is a 14 yr old with a michevious smile that makes me soooo happy every time I see him... even when he decides to beat his big sis up haha. And I love when Matt comes over after class, or calls me at 1am to see if I will make him something to eat.

5. Discipline would be a good thing to work on 
Haha... this applies to my grades, my time, and my money. Ohhhh goodness, the things I have learned this semester.

6. Good music can change your day
I have a mix on my iTunes that is amazing. Its called Country Time on the Beach. Haha, I dont think that needs explanation. I love it.

7. I like the simple things 
Sometimes all the material things around me really start to bother me. Sometimes the importance placed on them really makes me sad. In the long run, it will all be gone and it doesn't matter. What WILL matter are the friendships... the memories... the lessons learned... what you leave behind.


I'm a small town girl... I love blaring country music with the windows down. I love to have fun, but don't like drinking and wild partying. I have a million thoughts and hopes and fears, but I don't share them until you take the time to talk to me and get to know me. So many people THINK they know me, but it makes me laugh because they have no idea. My good friends know me, I hold nothing back. If you want to know something or are going through a rough time, you should come talk, I give some good advice sometimes. I like to hook people up, because I love to see my friends happy. I don't date because I haven't had anyone try and prove its worth my time right now, I am tired of settling and tired of chasing. If you want to show me otherwise, be my guest, I try almost everything once. I have a patriotic streak, don't talk during the National Anthem, or I will go off on you the moment it is over. I hate not being taken seriously, I may be short and I may look young, but I will get my point across one way or another. I make some of the best cookies you will ever have. Not that complicated, very simple, but you will eat a lot. Trust me. I can be really stubborn.... like, really. I like to write letters. Not emails, but letters. Maybe I was born in the wrong generation. I am determined, I go after everything full force, and then I might completly change my mind, but its not because I didnt give it everything I have.

and now... I should go study for finals. or something like that.
