Picking a College

Picking a college is a big decision. There are so many to choose from. In my case, I know what I want to do. I want to be an interior designer. So the question is not what my major should be, but what college is the most accredited for my major. I am constantly getting emails from all these colleges and it is quite overwhelming. It's hard to decide which one is better. I want to go to the best school for interior design, I'm just not sure which school that is. I will most likely have to go out of state. Most people say I'm stupid to go out of state and pass up all the KEES money I already have. The KEES money and any other scholarship I can get for in state colleges is great and hard to pass up. But I want the best school for my degree. University of Cincinnati looks good, but I still don't know all that much about it. It is just going to take a lot of research and college visits to make this decision.  

Goodbye 2010...Hello 2011!

A new year has begun. It is a time for new beginnings and  a clean start. Many people make new year resolutions that are often broke by the end of January. I do not make new year resolutions. I think they are pointless. No one sticks to them, so what is the point? If I want to make a change, I will make it. I don't need a new year to make me change. A new year is a new beginning, but why do we need a new beginning to start living our lives the way we should? When people think of new year resolutions they don't think of something they truly want to change. They think of something that they can try for a few weeks and the just quit. New year resolutions are a good idea, but often don't have the result they should. I will change for myself, not because someone says I should just because it's a new year. Change only happens when a person is willing to accept it. That is the problem with most new year resolutions; most people don't want to accept the change they are trying to make. New year resolutions are just a fun little thing to think of when a new year rolls around and that's all there is to it. 

Line Checks

Line checks have came early this play. And this time instead of doing a couple scenes at a time, we are doing an act at a time. An act wouldn't be bad if you didn't have 150 lines in the first act alone. And those lines aren't just simple little sentences, they are whole paragraphs. To make matters worse, we have to memorize our lines with out blocking. Blocking is extremely helpful when it comes to memorizing.Memorizing may be difficult but it is necessary. In every play we have struggled with our memorization. Getting memorization out of the way early will help in the long run, even though it sucks right now.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

The worst part of every relationship is the break up. No matter the situation, break ups are hard. They hurt and only time can heal the pain. People say that breaking up with someone has about as much pain as a loved one passing away. Friends and family can try and help with the pain, but they can never fully take it away. Only time will allow the wound to heal. Break ups may be hard, but the first break up is always the hardest. It was your first love and a part of you doesn't want to let it go. But then you realize that you have to let go. Letting go is the best thing to do, the only way to be happy. The realization of knowing you have to let go sucks. It hurts, but the pain is only temporary. But no matter how many times you tell yourself all these things, you cannot accept them. You just know that you are hurt and that's all there is to it. You want to feel okay again, but you feel like that may never come. You know it will, but it just doesn't always feel like it. Friends and family may not be able to cure it, but they do help. They get your mind off of it. They help you have fun. But sometimes after a break up, a person just needs to be sad for a little while. They need time to feel their pain to make it all seem real. A person cannot move on from something that doesn't feel real. And after dating a person for a long time, you are in shock when the break up comes. You think to yourself where has the past two years gone? How did we get from where we started to this point. Those two years seem like a blink of an eye when it all comes to an end. But that blink of an eye changed your life. Every relationship impacts you in some way. The relationship may have ended but it is just the start of many more to come. Break ups are often seen as an ending, but it's also a new beginning. 

Snow Days

There have been so many snow days this semester. January has seemed to just fly by because we are never in school. Don't get me wrong, I like being off from school. I just don't like having to go to school until June. There comes a point where you just get sick of snow. You are ready for summer. I am sick of always being cold. I can not wait for summer to come. It's funny how in the summer 45 degrees seems so cold, but in the winter it seems so warm. We have had very few days above freezing this winter. I am just sick of the cold. I hate having to start my car twenty minutes before I leave. I hate having to scrap snow and ice off my car in the morning just so I can see. I am tired of looking at my car and thinking about how dirty it is, but knowing that it will do know good to wash it. Summer is much better. I can not wait to when I can drive with the windows down and finally use my sunroof again.I cannot wait until I can go outside without having to wear a jacket or have several layers on. I'm ready for summer, like a lot of people are. 

Anatomy

Every year the Anatomy class dissects cats.Honestly, I could never take that class just because of that one lesson. I don't think that people that do take the class are wrong though. It is just a person preference.The one thing I cannot stand is when people posts pictures of them and their cat they are dissecting on Facebook. No one wants to see that. It's just gross. What's makes it worse is people name the cat they are going to dissect. I absolutely cannot stand listening to people talk about dissecting a cat in Anatomy, especially at lunch. People just need to take their class and do their work while leaving the rest of us out of it.
