So here's a play by play of my eveing. I am not making this up, despite how funny this is.
-I came home from work. Changed into my pjs
-checked my email and saw that i had a package so i went downstairs to get it.
-while i'm downstairs there is a cute guy down there getting a package too. there was a little bit of flirting going on.
-i went back up to my room and statused about it.
-about 40 minutes later i get a friend request. i look to see who it is, from what i can see of the profile it looks like the guy from downstairs.
-i flip out because how did he know who i am. i'd never seen him before.
-i then added the guy.
- a couple seconds later i realize i statused about him and that he is going to see i think he's cute. flip out #2.
-i then go to delete my status, and fail. only increasing my flip out. finally after a few minutes i am able to delete it.
- then i go downstairs to ask my roomie who was working the front desk if the guy asked her my name. how else would he know who i am.
-she said he did not, but his name is jacob. ...... the guy that added me is andrew.
- i go backupstairs, bummed it wasn't the same guy and kind of creeped out that some random guy added me.
-i then decide its ok to put that status back up. along with a new one further explaining how i thought the guy that added me was the one from downstairs.
-literally 2 seconds later, the guy that added me LIKED THAT STATUS!!!
-completely mortified on all accounts that i just want to crawl under a rock. however i will not be able to sleep because i am all would up from getting excited/freaking out!!
only in my life would such crazy things happen.

Gobble Gobble
Well Thanksgiving is just 8 days away! This time next week I will be packing up my little suitcase getting ready for an awesome weekend at home! I have so much planned so I know it will feel like it's flying by!
The other day I started thinking about what I'm thankful for. I had a few conflicting feelings about this, depending on what perspective I took.
Currently the country is in a horrible economic state, we have some horrible politicians in office that are screwing all the little people. People are more focused on religious issues and having policies made controlling what a person can do with their body, rather than ensuring that everyone can have a good quality of life with a job, health care, and a home. Many Americans think that America is the greatest nation in the world and that we are entitled to what we have. Lately I haven't been sold on that idea. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that I'm an American. I had the oppourtunity to go to school, to freely practice my religion, to have a job, to wear what clothes I want. Those things are forbidden for women in many countries. So, yes I'm thankful I'm an American. But I don't think we're the greatest nation in the world right now.
We are supposed to have freedom of religoin, yet a majority religion is trying to push for policies that will dictate how the rest of the country lives. Other countries can see how bad our health care system is, and they can't believe it. We're supposed to be the best, yet we don't even come close to being able to help everyone. The other day I saw a cartoon of a Chinese family eating in their home. The child was staring at his food, and there was a caption over the mother's head that said "Eat your food. There are starving children in America."
It's seriously sad, but it's true. How can there be that big of a gap in the United States of America, that some people are obese from eating too much food, and other's are starving on the streets.
I come from the middle of the country. In what I'd say is the middle of the middle class. Yes, sometimes life would be easier with a little more money. But I'm thankful I was born into a family in that position. I feel that I've grown up being able to understand both sides to the best of my ability and that I learned the value of money and working hard. I'm thankful that my family has been lucky to have such good health. People say that a lot around Thanksgiving. However, after learning about the NUMEROUS different birth defects and diseases that a child can be born with in my genetics class my perspective on having good health really has changed.
Despite all the things that are going wrong in the world, in my country, and in my state, I am thankful for the little things in the life. Which don't seem so little right now. I'm thankful for my family, for being born in the United States of America, and for having good health. I've been thankful for these things in the past, but this year they have a completely different meaning for me.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Texts
The other day I stumbled across a post on my twitter that said "I'm the girl. You're the boy. You text me first or we don't talk today."
I found that hilariously funny and accurate. In my own experiences, boys can't seem to make up their mind. One week they complain you text them too much. The next they complain that they always have to text you first, and that you need to start texting them more. Women can't win!
When you're "talking" to a guy, and you can't quite figure out what they want out of the situation or how they really feel about you, it usually is best to let them text you first. 1. You don't want to be that "annoying-clingy" girl they talk to their guy friends about. 2. How much they text you may be a sign of how much they really like you. If he only texts you once a week, or worse, once a month, I think it's safe to say, move on.
I'm the type of person that always has my phone by me. I check all the time, and the only time I don't respond is when I'm in class or working. What I don't understand is how you text someone, and it will take hours even days to get a response. I'll admit, I have read a text message, but didn't have time to send a reply or went on to keep reading other messages and have forgotten to text back. How many times have you gotten the cliche "Sorry, I didn't see your message" text? It gets even more suspicious when you're hanging out with said person, and they are CONSTANTLY on their phone.
Another contradiction I've found with guys is that it's ok for them to search through your phone and see who you've been calling or texting, but it is NOT ok for you to do the same to them.
Here's a few hints. 1. If all of their inbox/outbox is empty everytime you see them. Consider leaving that one on the side of the road. Clearly he has something to hide. 2. Most guys remember to clear their inbox. However, most don't think to delete their pictures. If you are snooping, check their phone pictures. There's always something interesting.
If you happen to be interested in or with a guy that exhibits these traits. Get lost!!

Dilemma
Going to a big school can be good and bad.
Problem 1: There are professors and fields of study that are ranked nationally, but going to a big school means your campus is BIG. You have 15 minutes to walk, bike, or run across campus to your next class if you have classes back to back.
Problem 2: You pretty much run to class, which means, even though it's only 70 degrees outside, or in the winter months -20, you are sweating by the time you get to class and thirsty, after a few of these "running sessions" you're out of water.
Problem 3: Class isn't that long. On average 50 minutes. You don't want to drink too much water or you may have to get up and use the bathroom, potentially missing important information.
Problem 4: You better hope you have a good deodorant, and that the people in your class do too. We've all had that smelly kid we had to endure sitting next too. It's even worse when your seat is assigned and you have to sit there for an entire semester.
So, do you arrive ontime to class, drenched in sweat, thirsty, with the potential to pee your pants and make your nearby classmate sit with their hand to their nose the entire lecture, or do you walk leisurely and enjoy the view of your beautiful campus (One which devotes countless amounts of money to it's buildings and grounds upkeep) and arrive to class a few minutes late and have everyone stare at you as you walk in???
