Finding the JOY in the JOurneY (School vs. Sleep vs. Social Life)

Song of the Day: Almost There by, Anika Noni Rose

If I can relate to any of the Disney princesses, it would have to be Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog 

Let's compare!

We both: 

• have parents that loved us so much 
• love to sing
• know what we want in life, and know what we must do in order to get there 
• are workaholics (or in my case, a "schoolaholic")
• and love our family and friends and will sacrifice our own happiness for theirs 

Now granted, the whole "turn into a frog" thing never happened to me, nor have I found my husband yet... but Tiana and I are pretty much twins. And I look up to her because she was able to achieve her dreams through her positivity and her hard work.

However, we have one problem: we give up our own happiness in order for others to be happy, and we lose focus on what's really important in life.

Luckily for her, she was able to realize that by the end of the movie, but as for me....
I still have the rest of my life to figure this out.

Repentance (The Untold Story Of Maya)

Song of the Day: Gold by, Britt Nicole 

So I have something I should share with you....

So you know how in Lion King Rafiki gives the best quote in the entire movie? 

He says 

Yes the past can indeed hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.

Or something like that anyways....

Well, he's right. Now I shouldn't be using Lion King as an example because they botch up this theme (the past that Simba was running away from actually was not his fault....so we're not going to delve into that) BUT I do have a point I want to make.....

I've been running away from my past. There I said it.
And let me tell you, I haven't had it easy....

Summer Semester (What time is it? Summer School!)

Song of the Day: Summertime by, New Kids on the Block

So I decided to make this more like a journal by blogging about things on a weekly basis instead of highlighting important events in my life. Besides, I feel like a LOT of things have been going that are worth noting (and that have been happening on a weekly basis). 

Let's see....

See this is the probably the hardest part of writing: whether it be a research paper (that I'm currently procrastinating on) or just a casual blog, it's always hard to begin writing what I want to talk about.

This is a reason why I am not majoring in English. English is way too hard for me to comprehend...

(if only it was as simple as calculus....)

Anyways, 

I guess I can start with the Summer semester, which is infinitely a thousand times better than spring semester.

Let me tell you why:
