I complain... a lot and I'm not going to act like I don't. But lately, I've realized a lot of people get mad over nothing. There are, in my opinion, some things that are worth complaining about and getting mad about and others that aren't. Obviously, every one is going to have their own opinion about what those things are.
In life, there are a lot more things that are out of our control than things that are.. complaining about those things you can't change really do nothing other than make you more mad and annoy the people around you.
If you have a lot to bitch about, here's an idea... write it down - that way, you're not keeping it bottled up AND you're not annoying the shit out of someone.
If you try not to let petty shit get to you, I can guarantee you'll feel better.. you won't be wasting your time mad about nothing. It'll feel so much better.
Try it.

Peace Out Girl Scout
The Girl Scouts are officially back and in cookie selling action! While I'm always excited to see these girls, I am SO ready for them to leave! I have an addiction to thin mints, and them being here is NOT helping!
Everywhere I go, they're there! Landis Green, HCB, the union, Walmart. They are unavoidable! And, I know we're not in the best of economic times, but am I the only one who thinks $3.50 for a box of cookies is ridiculous?? I know it's for a good cause and all, but 3.50 is 3.50. Not to mention, they have definitely scaled back on the numbers of cookies you get in a box.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to seem like a heartless bitch who isn't for the Girl Scouts. I'm just a girl who has no self control when it comes to chocolate hahaha.

Please & Thank You...
They are the magic words. Aren't they?
Am I the only one who learned anything from those shows we watched as kids?
We talk all day long. Can you remember how many times a day you thank someone for something they've done for you or how many times you've said please or asked nicely when you needed a favor?
One of the most frustrating things in life is feeling as though you do things without recognition. I'm not saying we have to be recognized and praised for everything we do... but every now and then a thank you would be amazing. When a friend or teacher or co-worker or parent or sibling or stranger(!) does something nice for you or helps you out with something, make sure you're thanking them. A thank you can go a long way. You are never sure of the day that someone is having but I can guarantee you that if they are thanked for even the littlest of things they have done, that can go a long way in helping make their day that much better.
That cliche treat others how you'd want to be treated comes to mind. No one wants to feel used. No one wants to feel like they're not being thanked for what they're doing or even appreciated for it.
Please & thank are magic words. Use them. Make someone feel like you care about and appreciate what they're doing for you.

Critical Thinking...Hmmmmm
So JD and I are sitting in Phi2100 aka HELL! We have no idea what is going on and felt the need to share with our dedicated readers.
Here is an example of some of the things going on
Multiple Probabilistics Premises
P1. Most Americans are people who were born in America
P2. Most people who were born in America are white
C. Most Americans are white
Is this inductively forceful? : No
If someone understands this, please share with us...otherwise we'll have to ask the girl with the pez dispenser... and trust us, we DON'T want to ask her. She is a little cray and for some reason smells like mulch :/

Breakfast is the Best!
So after body toning it up with Jean and Taraneh, I came home and was about to make my usual breakfast: omelet with mushrooms, spinach, onions, and feta cheese. But, I decided to change it up and I'm so happy I did! I made chocolate chip banana pancakes, with some fruit on the side. I used to hate breakfast, but now it's one of my favorite meals of the day. Next week I'm hoping to make some blueberry pancakes. Mmmm! The only thing I was missing this morning was orange juice, and splenda for my coffee.
Breakfast is such an important meal of the day, so make sure you eat something!

Springtime Tallahassee
It is quite exciting how amazing the weather has been lately. Tallahassee has welcomed back the sun and it's not just for show anymore, it's actually providing some heat.. but it's just the right amount of it. The wind is blowing and I can now remember that I live in Florida. With the weather this gorgeous, being outside is amazing and it makes going to work and classes very difficult. Please tell me again why I can't just lay around outside with friends and have some fun?
After this amazing weekend it's already hard to go sit inside classes and at work but the weather doesn't help. It's only Monday and I'm already looking forward to the weekend.
Positive about today? PLL <33

Deuces
So celebrating the occasion of turning 22 proved to be amazing. I must say, I have some of the most amazing friends ever. There were a handful of people who celebrated with me Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday and I couldn't have imagined them not by my side as I celebrated.
Stopping for lunch and margaritas in the middle of the day at Chili's was well worth going to class slightly inebriated. I can't say class was more interesting that way because I don't think I payed much attention, lol. Instead, K.Ho and I took pictures :)
Dinner at El Patron was amazing. El Jalisco better watch out because Patron may just be my new spot. It was much less crowded and the food/ drinks were amazing.
Shout out to my littles, Rebecca, Kara, and Mallory for the amazinggg birthday presents they gave me! Anything hearts is never the wrong way to go... and same goes for jewelry and the pictures of all of us are just the cutest things I've ever seen! I love you all.
Thursday night at the strip has been one of the best places to drink and dance since I've been in Tallahassee and this weekend was no different. I had one of the best nights of my life and what I remember of it, was amazing. Going to Tomahawk afterwards to eat was maybe one of the best decisions ever made. A few of us got up and did Karaoke to Spice Girls :] bringing back the old school music.
The KD brothers were nice enough to host a social and invite IP to it on Saturday and that ended up being pretty fun. Chicken was fire lol and the company was good. Instead of going to Chubby's, which was the original plan, we went to a New Orleans themed party to end the celebrations. It was ok, not the best and not the worst. It was probably a good idea to give my feet a rest from heels and dancing, but I definitely could have gone to Chubby's.
Anyway, this seriously has been one of the most amazing birthday's I have ever had. Not sure which was better, 21 or 22... mostly because I don't remember enough to compare 21.. which could add to the argument for which was better haha.
I am sooo grateful to my friends who came to as much as they could/wanted to and celebrated with me. Without you guys, it would not have been what it was.
If you haven't already, relive the weekend through the many facebook pictures that have been uploaded :) They're great.
I love you all. You have nooo idea.
XOXO, E

Lady Gaga v. Britney Spears
So I've been curious lately... what does everyone think about the new singles these two extremely talented ladies recently released?
I'm a fan of the gaga, don't get me wrong. But I wasn't impressed with her new song. I feel like she's trying to hard. Sure the message was a good one, but I don't know it seemed like as a whole, it just isn't the gaga I've listened to and loved. I'm not trying to imply that change is bad, but I don't know it just doesn't seem natural.
Britney's new song, was surprising as well. I like it for the most part, but thought it could have been a little better. The music video was interesting. I still don't if I quite get the message behind it, but that's ok too.
Is it me? am I behind on the times? What do you all think??

Valentine's Day
Whether you're dating, single, married, engaged, whatever ... we hope you had an amazing Valentine's day.
Remember, you don't need a "partner" to be happy on this commercialized day. Spending the day with anyone you love, is all today is about.
Personally, I think saving your expression of love for today is dumb. I'm a firm believer in constantly and consistently letting that special someone know how you feel for them. It means more that way. Don't get me wrong, definitely show love today... but please don't make today the only day you do something nice for that someone.
Hopefully, whether you were alone, with friends, or with your boyfriend/girlfriend, you did have an amazing day and a great start to the week!
It's gunna be a good week :) We'll be celebrating! 2 days and counting...

To All The Teachers Out There
You would think that with all the education professors, instructors, and teachers receive, they would be a tad bit understanding when it came to assignments.
For years I've battled the issue of having weeks on end with nothing to do, and then comes that one week where every teacher decides to load on assignments, tests, and quizzes. I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling....
Another issue I have with teachers... ALL THE READING! Now don't get me wrong.. I actually do enjoy reading for most of my classes, but it's extremely difficult to stay on top of reading 100 pages a week for one class, when I have FOUR other classes to keep up in as well. Come on teachers, you know we aren't just taking your class!
I understand that being in college, along with grad school is a weeding out process, to see who is taking their studies seriously, and ultimately who has the most "dedication". But college is also is a time that is meant for independence, growth, and fun!
I'm not asking for a pass from work, but I do think that teachers should be cognizant of the work load they are putting on students.
To all the teachers out there who are probably not reading this blog, take a minute to reflect on how much your work load sucked, and help the future generation out. It's the right thing to do!

Till Death Do Us Part?
I don't know if I'm one of the only people who freakishly keeps up with pop culture, but 've noticed how so many celebrity couples get divorced!
Considering the divorce rate in the U.S. is pretty high, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised, but yet I am!
It seems like it this trend started with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt.
A list of the ones I'm sad to see broken up:
Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson
David Arquette and Courtney Cox
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker :(
I could go on for pages, but it would take too long and would be too sad.
To end this blog on an optimistic note, I'll fill you in on the couples I NEVER want to see split:
KHLOE KARDASIAN AND LAMAR ODOM (Khlomar for life)
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden
Beyonce and Jay Z
Hopefully these couples make it to the end!

Black and Yellow!!
LET'S GO STEELERS!!!!!
Usually I don't get too worked up over the Super Bowl, but this year I'm all for the Steelers.. Why might you ask??? Because I am OBSESSED with the song Black and Yellow..and what do ya know?? That's the color of the Steelers.
As for the commercials... one word.. UNDERWHELMING. Considering how expensive there are and how much coverage you get, you would think they would be a bit better. I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much.
Half Time performance was pretty good. Fergie needed to calm her self down.
Christina Aguilera... really?? the national anthem is a pretty big deal to sing at the Super Bowl. Maybe you should have had a little quiz before to see if you remembered the words.
Princess Lea, flawless as usual.
Overall, the Super Bowl has been pretty interesting.
Down by 4 currently, but we believe in you Steelers!!!!!!!
Oh and Glee, you better rock my socks!
