I really don't have a major regret. But if it had to be anything, as much as I hated school. I wish I was more active during my Senior year. I did the senior activities....Halloween Hoot, Senior Breakfasts(Chick-fil-A[Our Sponsor, its directly across the street], and Shoney's[Chick-fil-a in Oct & Shoney's in Feb]), T-Shirts(short & long sleeve) [and the short sleeve had the entire senior class names on it, and the long sleeve had our actual signatures], Easter Egg Hunt, Senior Luncheon! I even went on the senior trip, which was good throughout, but ended badly! It ended badly due to us waking up late and me being the last one in the shower, and my hair was in all kinds of directions. And when I was in the shower my roomates left me and the chapperone was like everybody was waiting on ME and my suitcase wasn't even packed! And when I got to the buses we still had to wait for other people, that chapperone pissed me off! LIAR! And I got a seat next to a smelly guy! At the first stop, I switched! Then Prom...what a disaster! My hairdresser took forever, si I was running late. I had to pick up THREE other people! 2 of my girlfriends and my supposed "date" I finally got home, good thing I took a shower before I left...then as I'm getting ready my DRESS RIPS!! The zipper just rips..I was so devasted! I felt really really fat of course! So all 3 of my friends are calling me wondering where I am, and how far away I am! I had to resort to an ugly brown dress I had to wear in my cousins wedding! And it stopped in the middle of my calf and was UGLY! I went from a cute, purple, short, kinda poofy but not to much, and actually matched my date to an UGLY brown frumpy thing! I was PISSED! I left my house for prom feeling UGLY! I cried all the way to pick up my first friend and almost crashed because I was crying so hard! And our dinner reservations got set back!! As we sat in the Japanese restaurant waiting for our chef to cook for us, and people were looking at us and smiling realizing we were goin to prom, I still felt hideous! My 2 girlfriends had on pretty dresses and me...NOT! And to make it worse, I forgot to tell the waiter I was allergic to shrimp and my food had to be cooked seperately, so after he started he had to take the food off and go get fresh food...he was pissed! And so was all the other strangers we were seated with. Then we were almost lost because I didn't have my glasses on to see street signs and stuff and it was dark already. Prom ended at 10:30(LAME) and it was about 9:20ish when we left the restaurant! Prom took place at the Yorktown(look it up, its nice) and it was like a maze getting to it! I felt really uncomfortable walking in with my cute hair, cute silver AE heels, and UGLY dress! But I stayed with the friends and tried to forget about it, but in the back of my mind I was counting down the minutes until they stopped the music, gave out the goody bags, and kicked us out! It came pretty quick and I hauled ass out of there! But on the journey back across the Cooper River Bridge my "date" turned into a douche bag! He started smoking out of nowhere, and I didn't even know he smoked...pissed me off more! Then I dropped my other friends off and went back to my house and changed, immediately! Then I took my "date" home so he could change. Then we went to meet my friends and iHop, way better than Prom! We sat in the empty Tanger Outlet parking lot and blasted music and laughed, tons of fun! Then we searched for after prom parties, my date knew a girl that was having a party so we went there and I didn't know her so I stayed downstairs with my friends, who drove behind us! And we saw kids still in dresses and tuxes super drunk! Not my thing at all, I don't smoke or drink...call me boring, it was just never my thing. My date got tipsy on like two beers, apparently he can't handle alcohol so I took him home and he was mad, and I was not going to risk driving around a drunk minor...no way! We went to a different party, with no alcohol and cooler people! And had so much fun!! I enjoyed after prom way better than the actual prom! I just regret not actually seizing senior year and not getting a dress way early! But! I don't have a time machine, and I can't hit the do over button! But thats the only thing I regret, I'll take the rest of life with a grain of salt!

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-17)-(Something I'm looking forward to)
I'm looking forward to finishing college and becoming a middle school teacher! Plain and simple...just like that, its what I'm looking forward to the most! I'm not really a go to school, listen to teachers and principals with the silly rules type of person, like what they had at my school..like. No cell phones, no hats of any kind(what about a bad hair day???), pay $25 just to park on your silly little campus! And we can't even leave...at least we weren't supposed too! :) I just didn't like going from class to class and listening to boring teachers and copying notes, taking quizzes and tests, and I had..the least school spirit...EVER! I just wasn't a fan of all those crazy personalities and bi-polar teachers! And school lunch...yuckkk!! For some reason, I just hated school. But I have a feeling I will mature over the course of college and be a little more patient and tolerant. We shall see...

30 Day Blog Challenge!! (Day-13)-(Goals!)
After FOREVER of trying to decide, i think i finally decided what i want to be in life!
I want to be a middle school Social Studies teacher!
I've always loved history, im always so intrigued by movies like National Treasure and Schindler's List, Blood Diamonds, Apollo 13, Glory, Diary of Anne Frank, Saving Private Ryan, Green Mile, Roots and many other movies that give some tyoe of background on people and where they come from and how America became established.
I don't think i have the patience for pre-school and elementary school kids because they ask to many questions. They ask the SAME question over and over again! And its cute for a while but all day everyday...I don't think i could do it!
High school kids are way too grown for me, almost everybody is taller than me because im 5'2'' give or take, and most high schoolers have attitudes and they are rude sometimes and as bad as it may sound, i'd rather not get arrested for slapping some sassy teenager for disrespecting me in ways they'd probably never ever disrespect their parents!
So, i thought middle schoolers...PERFECT. Not to juvenile, but not too grown and sassy. Even though that is around the time they start to find their identity and develope raging hormones i'll be the perfect teacher to teach them that they can be mature without being disrespectful. I want to not only be an academic teacher, but a moral teacher. I want the kids to know that you don't have to lose your morals once you get to high school, that you can be a good person, a cool person without being the un-popular popular person! What i mean by that is the person thats only popular materialistically, and physically but when it comes down to personality and spirit, your a complete outcast! And we all know somebody like that!
Welp...That my goal! To sorta make a difference with pre-teens and teenagers!

Whoo-Hoo!!
Sorry its a tad late but i was busy...CHILLAXINN' Last night i was watchin like 3 different news channels and watching the bottom of the screen like a hawk hopin i would see that my school was closed because of the horrible weather. But it never came up so i would just wait til mornin and and hope some more. :)
I woke up about 7 something and turned straight to the news and the thingy-ma-jigger was still scrolling and i was anxiously waiting, it was scrolling in alphabetical order and my college starts with a "T" so i had a while to wait, my moms job was delayed until 7:30 so she was happy...Then as soon as it gets to the Ts a giant weather advisory pops up at the bottom with a stupid map thingy and i couldn't see anything, and by the time it went away it was on the Cs...FML! So i turned to a different channel and it was on the Ms so i waited...There it was....My school was delayed until noon, and my last class end at 11 something, so that meant NO SCHOOL FOR ME!!!! Can you tell i was happy?? L0l. So then i was like yay!! More sleep for me, so its now almost 8 and I'm about to lay back down but i reset my alarm because i still had to be to work at 3! Then i wake up about 11 or 11:30ish against my will, but good thing i did because my phone was on vibrate and my manager then called me to tell me we weren't opening today and i didn't have to come in... Can you say DOUBLE WHOO-HOO??? So i went back to sleep again but only for about 2 hours. Then i got up, tidied up my room a bit, got something to eat, watched some t.v and took a shower (which was a bad idea due to the fact i was FREEZING when i got out) only to put on jammies AGAIN when i got out and just enjoyed my day off, and NO first day of school, but i really hope they don't cancel school tomorrow because afterwards I'm supposed to meet my former(but will be again) BFF! I haven't talked to her in a really long time or for that matter seen her,, and we're supposed to meet for some lunch tomorrow so hopefully we can!
Anywho! I need to get started on my 30-Day Blog Challenge for today! It'll be up in a little while!
Stay warm kiddies!

30-Day Blog Challenge!! (Day 3)-(1st ♥)
Caution: Very long post...But i a very good one, that i would love if you read!
Day 3: 1st Love
Well...My 1st love is this guy named Robert! I met him in elementary school in about the 3rd or 4th grade. I was new to the school and he was friendly and wanted to "show me around!" Haha! We were very young then and LOVE was the farthest things from our mind, we were more concerned about recess and art class! L0l. I quickly began to realize that he was VERY smart, he got 100's on all of his tests, while i only had 90's and 95's :( Every state registered test we took he always got advanced, while i got Proficients... :( My girlfriends and I couldn't stand him and his dorky friends! Then my mama started working at my school as the computer teacher...and HE had the BIGGEST crush on her! I would be in computer class and always catch him lookin at my mama's boobs out of the corner of my eye, him and all of his little friends had crushes on my mama, but hey he was then a 5th grade boy, so i let it past! To this very day I always tease him about liking my mama before he liked me! Haha! Fast forward out of elementary school to middle school, my mama wasn't working at my school anymore so, she was out of the picture! L0l. But, we didn't go to different middle schools because my elementary and middle school was combined and it was a charter/private school. You know what that means plaid skirts, tight oxford shirts, and knee highs! But not really, and the boys were uncomfortable in their ties and dress shoes! l0l. When middle school hit, it seemed like the girls got skankier and the boys got more aggressive! But me and Robert always kept our innocence, our friends would always pick on us that we were goody-goodies! As middle school went on, he had a crush on me and i didn't know it, then one year as school is about to end everybody is exchanging numbers, so we did too, this was the time when everybody was getting cell phones, but i had one since 4th grade, its another story how i THOUGHT i suckered my parents into giving me one! :) Anyways, we exchanged numbers right before the summer, and I'm never in town during the summer since my mommy worked in the school system she had summers off too, so we always vacationed! But we actually talked alot during the summer, and became really good friends. When school started back up, we were practically inseparable and always ate lunch together, sat next to each other, did projects together..Everything, until people started pickin on us sayin how we were goin out, and we were young so we kinda dropped each other...i know sounds bad, but we stopped hangin out in school...Publicly, we still found time for each other, rather it was going to the "bathroom" or when everyone else was at recess! We didn't do anything nasty, we just hung out and talked and laughed. And we really got to hang out alot when we both got into the honors classes in middle school. And we got to be math partners good thing for me because i SUCK at math, and he's really GOOD at it! But I'm the English wiz! Haha! And then when we had free time, and everyone can basically do anything, we were sittin in the stairwell snackin on I cant even remember what!! It was probably Skittles for me and BBQ lays chips for him..our favorites! So as we were sitting there on the stairs talking and laughing, he kissed me! Bam! First kiss just like that, he kissed me!! It was 7th grade and my FIRST KISS! I was so shocked that i didn't even kiss him back i just look at him smiled the giggled uncontrollably! Then he kissed me again and i actually kissed back that time, then he told me he liked me..."like that!" Then the bell rang and i put on my cutest look and walk and said I'll see you in class! I did look cute if i must say so myself, no skirt! A cute little pair of gray pants, a navy blue polo shirt, and a wine colored cardigan! Those were the school colors...gray, navy blue, and wine(burgundy)! So after the kiss, we continued to talk on the phone constantly and we got to know each other better, all the personal things, like family, our wants, desires, and even the small things like favorites, likes, and dislikes! (birthday, color, food) then at the end of 7th grade he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said YES! But i don't know why the HELL we thought it would be a better relationship if we kept it a secret, but that's what we did! For the remainder of the school year it was a secret?? I still do NOT know why, it was stupid! But we continued our secret "relationship" and we went to the movies once or twice, its so different when your mama has to drop you off and pick you up! And we went to this local festival together that Charleston has every year. Then 8th grade rolled around...sigh!! And lets just say his friends and my friends weren't exactly good influences! We broke up constantly! But towards then end of the year, we realized how much we really loved each other and our relationship really grew, we just had a certain level of comfort and trust, honesty, fun, and compassion that we had for each other! He was the only person to know my full name, birthday, and deepest secrets. With 7th grade and 8th grade that was a little over a year together!! Then the worst thing EVER happened!! My family decided to move! Even though it was only about 30 minutes away, it was about 5-minutes out of our school district, so that meant when i started high school, i had to start it at a different high school, in a COMPLETELY different district with absolutely
P.S. Sorry its so late, and not REALLY the 3rd day, i started this post at about 10 pm but all those emotion sorta came rushing back, and i called him and we just started talkin about the coarse of our whole relationship starting from 3rd grade! We are 10 yrs in the making! And hopefully this can all be something we can share with our kids! (fingers crossed) :) :) :)
