It's That Time of Year

Hey y'all! I am support pumped that it's almost Christmas! It's my favorite holiday & something about this time of year just makes me happy. One of the main  reasons for my happiness is that I get to celebrate Jesus' birth, but also I love everything about Christmas. This year I even started listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, which never happens & I am usually strict when it comes to that, but this year was completely different. If you don't celebrate Christmas, then you can probably relate to whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year. I don't like the snow & coldness much, but Christmas makes up for it. I live Christmas!

Here is my top 10 Christmas songs/covers to put you in the holiday spirit:

1. "Ho Ho Hopefully" by The Maine
2. "All I Can Give You" by Jason Lancaster
3. "Oh Holy Night" by Hey Monday
4. "Wishlist" by The Ready Set
5. "Baby It's Cold Outside" by Kurt & Blaine from Glee
6. "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey
7. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Letters & Lights
8. "Christmas Mittens" by And Parker
9. "Mistletoe" by Justin Bieber
10. "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" by NSYNC

& there you have it folks! Hope y'all have a great week & if you're like me & have goals then I hope you do well.

Things Have Changed

Hey y'all! I'm watching you in advance that this is a rant blog & I'm sorry. So I've noticed the reason why I don't feel comfortable in my home town, & it's because everything has changed! When I was younger I was so blind to all the drama that actually goes on here. Now that I've been away for a while, I see that things have changed for the worst & I don't feel wanted here anymore. People have lied to me for months & I'm so sick of always feeling like I did something wrong! I just wanna go back to college & move away from this place. Besides most of my family & a few true friends, I have nothing else left. God has opened my eyes to the things that I couldn't see before. I'm not saying that my college is perfect, but I actually feel at home there. There's drama, but compared to this place it's like nothing. When I'm home I question every decision I make & if I can trust anyone, even some family members. The worst part is that I love my family & friends & my dog, but once I get the money I'm leaving this one horse town & moving onto some place that I feel like I belong. Right now I'm ready to go back to my classes & escape reality. My tears feel like they're gonna fill with tears at any moment, which never happens, & after the night I've had I just wanna get away as quick as I can. I'm an introvert but at this level I wanna go deep into a bubble of my own & shut out the world, which I know isn't what I should do. Have you ever felt like that? It's the worst! I thought the drama would be gone once I graduated but it's gotten worse in some ways.

Okay rant over! once again I am  so sorry to load this out on y'all but I had to get it out. Please keep me & my friends & family in your prayers while we get through this. Thank you if you read until the end. I love y'all & hope you have a great week!

Husband Material

Hey yall! So lately I don't what's gotten into me, but all I've been thinking about is my future relationship (whenever that will be). I know God has a guy in the future for me somewhere, sometime, but I am so impatient (yes, ironic I know). One minute I'm thinking about a really great guy friend of mine that everyone thought I should date. He's no Prince Charming, in fact he's a big old goofball, but he's one of the sweetest guys I know! I though for a time it could be him, but then I realized that I was just thinking that cuz others said that thought it was a good idea. Whether it could actually be a thing or not I have no clue. But there is one guy that is also a friend of mine who is husband material. All the girls think the same way (it's almost a daily topic). He's attractive, love the Lord, super sweet guy, has a great sense of humor, kind, considerate, loves coffee, loves TWD, muscular, and all together a great guy. I know I would never have a shot with him, but whoever he dates is one lucky girl! Not only do I get to see him on Thursdays, but I see him usually at lunch/dinner, and we just happen to go to the same church (well when he shows up every other Sunday). I am such a girl when it comes to him! I feel like I instantly smile and go all girly when he's around and make a complete fool out of myself. I think it may just be my hormones messing with me, but I know that he is a great guy. For now I'm happy with just being his friend, but I kinda wish it would turn into something more. Sometimes I just wanna scream "Hey _______! I like you!" It doesn't help that his hometown is literally 15 minutes away from mine and is where my aunt and uncle live, so I just wanna invite him to hang out. I know I have to do the Christianly thing and wait for him to pursue me, but gosh dang it I can't stand waiting! Once again, that's just the girl in me. It's such a strange feeling to like someone. I don't really know if I like it or not, but I guess I'm just gonna have to deal with it, at least until he graduates/moves away. Okay, rant over!

Now for the music portion of this blog. I have my Top 10 love songs this week especially for this blog. So here ya go!

1. "Marry Me" - Jason Derrulo
2. "1, 2, 3, 4" - Plain White T's

#TeamJerzak

Hey yall! Today I got to thinking about a person who has been really influencial to me over the past few years (& it's not just any person). I've talked before about how my favorite singer is Stephen Jerzak, & he has made such an impact on my life over the past 3 & a half years. I was first introduced to his music by my friend Morgan Graham. It was June right before my senior year of high school during a weekend vacation that our families & their CB club take together. She showed me his cover of "My First Kiss" by 3OH!3. From that point, we watched his music video for "Cute" & other videos he had posted. Let's just say I was hooked from the start! I remember the funniest moment of that night was when Morgan's grandma walked into the room & was asking what in the world he was singing. The next morning she was telling everyone at breakfast that we were watching a video & the guy was singing "this is the way I kiss" (wrong lyrics btw but it was hilarious to hear her take on the song). Ever since that night, I have loved his music. I tweeted earlier that it was amazing to see how far he has come musically, & it's so true! I started out seeing long-haired, 17 at the time, Stephen doing covers & making his first music video to him creating a pop album with a signed label to doing songs with Cady Groves, Leighton Meester, My Genuine Find, Jamestown Story, Romance on a Rocketship, & Dylan Lloyd. The first online purchase I ever bought was his zombie shirt (which I still wear as a sleep shirt, holes & all), & if that isn't dedication then I don't what is! I feel like I know him almost on a personal level, even though we have never even met & he only knows who I am because I tweet at him all the time & I tweet his sister, mom, & best friend (Dylan). I can proudly say that I have been a part of Team Jerzak from almost the beginning. His music just keeps getting better as he gets older. From 17 - 21, Stephen has always been the same guy he has always been, & it's all because of his fans. I hope that I can meet him one day, but for now I am okay with just listening to his music & watching his videos & live chats. I encourage everyone to check out his music & see why I love him so much! If you want to check out his YouTube it's youtube.com/stephenjerzak. His Facebook, Twitter, & Soundcloud are just the website name /stephenjerzak. Stephen, if you are reading this I want you to know that I am so proud of how far you have come, & I'm excited to see where you will go next!





For this week's Top 10 songs, I'm gonna countdown my favorite Stephen Jerzak songs of all time.

1. "Cute"
2. "Best Friends"
3. "Party Like You're Single"
4. "Dance & Drive"
5. "King"
6. "Come Back Home"
7. "Lost for Words"
8. "Party Girl"
9. "Where Did You Go"
10. "Hawaiin Punch"

I hope yall have a great rest of the week! Stay warm where ever you are!

P.S. If you have twitter, make sure to tweet #Jerzday & tag Stephen & his family in it ;)

Boys are Idiots!

Hey yall! Sorry if there are any guys reaidng this, but guys are idiots! You have the guys who are complete douchebags, and then there's the totally sweet guys who are scared to do anything. It doesn't help that in the Christian community guys are the ones who are supposed to pursue the girls, which is tough cuz they aren't good at reading signals. It's like my roommate. Her and one of my guy bestfriends have liked each other for over a year and have just recently admitted that they liked each other. They didn't know whether to go ahead and pursue the relationship or remain friends for now, so they prayed it out and let God take it over. Well after talking, he decided that they needed to remain friends for now cuz he doesn't have the time to pursue the way she deserves to be pursued. It seriously sucks cuz she really likes this guy, and she doesn't crush on guys much, but the worst part is that no one can hate him or be mad cuz he is a great guy! He isn't a douche and always has her best interests in mind, even if it's not what it looks like on the outside. They both are relying heavily on the Lord, and I just hate that she has to deal with all of this right now. I don't know how it feels to have my heary broken by a great Christian guy, but I can tell you that just being rejected by non-Christian douchebags hurts bad enough, and I don't know what I would do if the guy were actually a good guy. I wish guys were just simple to understand! Girls aren't always easy to read to, but you can at least tell when a girl likes you. Guys can be idiots sometimes most of the time! I pray that God  has His way in all of your hearts and finds a great guy for all of you cuz you deserve it. Relationships in themselves are tricky, but the only way to know if it's the right one is to take it to God.

Ok, rant over! Now onto my favorite part...the top 10 songs of the week!

1. "This is Gospel" by Panic at the Disco
2. "Cups" by Anna Kendrick
3. "One of THOSE Nights" by The Cab
4. "Royals" by MKTO (cover)
5. "Royals" by Pentatonix (cover)
6. "Fought for Me" by Paradise Fears
7. "T.F.E.R.A." by The Ready Set
8. "Clarity" by Zedd
9. "Chocolate" by The 1975
10. "Shape Shifter" by Cassie Steele

That's all folks! Have a great week & do good things! I love you all!

P.S. I'm finally 21!!!!!!!!! ;-P

2 Blogs for the Price of 1

Hey yall! I'm sorry I didn't post last week, it was a super busy midterm week! So to make up for it I'm actually posting basically 2 posts in this 1, which coincidently kinda go hand-in-hand.

The first topic I wanna talk about is how AMAZING God is! He has revealed a lot to me since Fall Getaway! Fall Getaway was a great experience to grow closer to people, but I also became closer to God through the sermons & just different senarios that occured that weekend. The main thing He taught me was that I need to learn patience (yes, I know I have to live up to my name). He has special timing for everything that goes on in my life. For example, at the beginning of the semester I prayed that I would become closer to the guys in Cru because I was feeling a little distant from them, especially the men. Then He answered my prayers not too long ago & I would say that I have a ton of really great guy friends who I am also proud to call brothers in Christ. The other night, I was getting ready to leave to head home for fall break, and my car suddenly died. So I called my friend Ben (after I had tried calling my friend Amanda, who didn't know how to jump a car) & he brought our friend Ricky with him (who actually knew how to jump a car). Within 30 minutes they came & had gotten my car started for me & I got home safely later that night. It so amazing how He can answer one simple little prayer in so many ways! He has also blessed me with some amazing girl friends too! I can't forget that I have the greatest friends in the entire world! Heck! My roommate is throwing me a huge birthday suprise & is incorporating all of our friends from Cru plus 2 of my oldest friends who live down the hall from us PLUS 2 of my best friends from back home. None of this would even be possible without Him! If you don't believe in Him, then I would at least suggest reading the Bible & learning from His Word, & also I am here to help if you have any questions.

Going back to the guy friend subject, God has blessed me with guy friends, but I'm also waiting for God to point me towards the guy that He has planned for me. There's a certain type of guy that I am looking for:

• has to be male (sorry ladies, I don't swing that way)
• has to love the Lord more than I do
• has to be really nice
• has to have a sense of humor & be able to make me laugh
• can't take themselves too seriously
• has to be ok with my "bro-ness"
• has to love music
• has to have decent hair (no mullets, hair has to be shorter than mine, & no baldness)
• has to respect me & values
• has to be unique
• has to be able to watch movies that I like & I'll watch movies he likes
• has to be a dog lover
• looks don't necessarily matter, but I have to be somewhat attracted to him
• has to get along with my family & friends

Now it's onto the music portion of this blog. Here are my top 10 songs of the week:

1. "Oceans" - Hillsong
2. "Use Somebody" - Kings of Leon
3. "Intoxicated" - The Cab
4. "Classic" - MKTO
5. "Nightingale" - Demi Lovato
6. "Fought for Me" - Paradise Fears
7. "Lightening in a Bottle" - The Summer Set
8. "Chocolate" - The 1975
9. "Oh Well, Oh Well" - Mayday Parade
10. "This is Gospel" - Panic! At The Disco

That's all for this week. I hope yall have a great week!

Am I Really Turning 21?!

Hey yall! In just 2 weeks this girl is gonna be turning the big 2-1. My birthday is October 18th, and it's so strange to say that it's almost my birthday much less my 21st! Time seems like it's flown by since I turned 16, 18, 20, & any of the major ages. Felisha, Shelby, Cory, & some of my other best friends have already secretly planned out stuff for the weekend of my birthday, but just about everyone knows but me. I kinda wanna know but I also like that I have something to look forward to. I seriously have the BEST friends a girl could ask for! Felisha is the mastermind behind the whole thing & it's so sweet that she would take time out her busy schedule just to plan things for lil ole me!

The question on everyone's mind her, including mine, is what do I want for my birthday. Whenever someone asks, I respond that I have no idea. Honestly this year when it came to what I want, all I can think of is just getting to spend time with people that mean the most to me. Maybe we could go to dinner, get coffee, or just something small like that. There's obviously things I want, but those are things that are what I think of when I save up enough money or just things that I only see as dreams, not reality. So stressful! But I know whatever I get is gonna be great!

To all my friends who are reading this (you know who you are), I love yall so freaking much! I thank God that he placed you all in my life! <333

Now onto a different subject, I want to get back into doing more music stuff on here. So, I've decided to do a "Top 10 Songs of the Week" list. I'll try to update weekly, but if I don't then please don't get mad. So here is the list for this week:

1. "Royals" - Lorde
2. "Endlessly" - The Cab
3. "Late at Night" - The Perfect Measure
4. "Roar" - Katy Perry
5. "10,000 Reasons" - Matt Redman
6. "Stupid Love Letter" - The Friday Night Boys
7. "Still Into You" - Paramore
8. "Holy Grail" - Jay Z & Justin Timberlake
9. "Best Friends" - Stephen Jerzak
10. "Who You Are" - Paradise Fears

If you haven't checked out these songs, then go check them out now! I promise you won't regret it! That's all for this week. Have a great week & I'll check back in soon!

Pet Peeves

Hey yall! In leaders meeting a few weeks ago, we were handed a paper that had a list of questions on it. One of the questions was "What is your biggest pet peeve?". At that time I said people chewing with their mouth open, but then I got to thinking more & I have a ton more pet peeves than I thought. So I figured I would share them in case you're like me & haven't really thought about it until you're in the situation, or if you are around me, you'll know what you shouldn't do to annoy me. So here's the list (in no particular order):

1. When people chew with their mouth open. It's not that hard to close your mouth while you eat. I don't wanna see your food, & the sound it makes when their mouth is smacking together like that grosses me out!
2. When someone continually calls/texts me when they obviously know I'm busy doing something. I promise whatever it is can wait until I get done with my homework or with whatever else I'm doing at the time. Unless it's really serious, please just leave me alone until I am able to answer you back.
3. When someone repeated calls/texts back-to-back after I don't answer the first or second time. If I don't answer then that means there's a reason why I didn't answer the first time you called. Just calm down.
4. When someone acts like we are closer friends than we actually are. Please don't call me "sis" if we aren't actually close & act like sisters. I only consider a select few part of the group I can call "sis" & it's a mutual thing. If I don't call you "sis" back or we don't hang out much, then that probably means we're not as close as you think, so please don't call me that.
5. When someone doesn't replace the toilet paper after the other people changed it last time. It called sharing teh responsibility. If we change it the past couple of times when it runs out, so should you. Also, if you can see that there isn't any there, you should automatically think to change it. We change it until we run out of rolls, then we expect you to do the same for us.
6. Name jokes. I really can't stand when people make "patience" jokes towards me or sing the Guns N Roses song "Patience". I only allow it if we're really good friends & if we're being sassy to each other as a joke.
7. When people nag me to do something that is obviously out of my control. For example, I don't have enough time in my schedule to get a job, but I have applied to different places. I can't help if I no one has called me for an interview, it's not that easy. So don't automatically expect that I should have a job by now.
8. Comparing me to my mother. If there's one person I cannot stand to be compared to, it's my mom. We don't get along with each other & she's not the type of person you would be proud to be compared to. Let's just say she's had a WHORE-ibble past. This one is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves.
9. Over-confident singers. If a person is so cocky & knows that they are a good singer so they sing literally ALL the freaking time, it drives me nuts! The more they sing, the worse they end up sounding. We had a few of these in choir, & let me tell you, you can definitely tell who they are as soon as they walk in the room. It's as if they want you to know as soon as they walk into the room.
10. Over-confident people in general. I sadly dated plenty of guys who were all about how "cool" they were, & now looking back it just freaking annoyed me that they only thought about them. They need someone to bring their head back to size (guys & girls alike).
11. When people judge someone without knowing them or their background. I'm not talking about the first impressions. I'm talking about when a person is genuinely nice, but maybe they have a gap in their teeth or they may be a little overweight, & people secretly make fun of them for little things that don't matter at all. I always say it's better to have inner beauty than outer beauty.
12. When people interrupt you. When a person is speaking, don't be rude & talk while they're trying to get their point across!
13. When people randomly say something that has absolutely nothing to do with what you were just talking about. When I say this I mean like if someone says "hey" & the other person responds with "so we went to the zoo today" or "I have a math test tomorrow". I just wanna be like "is that how you greet people. Or if they talk about one subject then switch to a conversation without having a transition into the other conversation or without ending the first conversation.
14. When someone always points out your flaws, but get offended if you say anything negative about something they're doing. It's pretty explanitory I think.

That's all I can think of for now, but I'll update this if I remember anymore. Is your list similar to mine? What are some of your pet peeves? Do you like these list blogs? What should I talk about next? Let me know! Have a great week! I'll check in when I can!

Back in the Swing of Things

Hey yall! I know I haven't posted in forever, but I have been super busy! I worked all summer and then hung out with friends. I also had an almost relationship with a guy that I thought I had been in love with since 4th grade, but things ended up not turning out the way either of us ever would've thought (I'll save that for another blog). Anyways, school has started back and I am in my junior year of college. It's so weird to be back here, but I have been wanting to be back in Richmond since school ended. I feel like my hometown is cool, it just doesn't feel like home anymore and I think it's because I have made Richmond my new home away from home. I love my family and friends back home, but I have moved on from there and I think God has showed me that I have done all that I can do back home. Now I am getting back into the swing of things and have started classes again. The class part is the only downside about school. Along with that is the stress of also taking on more responsibilities this year. I have become a greeter team leader in Cru and I'm also a peer educator mentor to 2 freshmen girls. On top of that I'm having to pencil in B-Stud (Bible Study), discipleship, homework time, and finding a job. I'm glad that I have God and my family and friends to help me through all of this. I don't know if I could do i without them. I just need to remember that I am not the only one dealing with this and I need to lean on others but also be there to help them through this. This semester/year has so many possibilities to explore and I am going to try to blog my progress through this blog whenever I get the chance. I hope you all have a great week! Thank you for reading this! I love you if you made it all the way to here!

Sick Days

Hey yall! Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks, I've been hecka busy. Not to mention I've been sick since Sunday night & I just don't wanna do anything. It started as just a scratchy throat last week. This week I'm pretty sure it's a head cold. My nose is runny all the time. I cough a lot. & as of last night, I barely have a voice. I missed my observations & night class yesterday, so that's an obvious sign that I'm sick if I don't even go see my kindergartners. My problem is that when I'm sick I get really whiny cuz I hate being sick & not being able to do things for myself. It's one of the worst feelings in the world! Today I'm toughing it out & trying to be productive by going to most of my classes & the Cru boys' basketball game tonight. I'm skipping Voice but that's only cuz I can't really sing without a voice (hence the name of the class). Sad thing is that that's the only class I enjoy & I had my private lesson today. Luckily, my professor was totally understanding & let me reschedule for Monday. All I really want right now is some Orange Leaf to sooth my throat & to just lay in my bed on my laptop or reading a book & listening to music. I have the greatest roomie who has been taking care of me a lil while I've been sick & gets onto me if I'm doing stuff that will make me feel worse. A good example was last night. Her & our friend Caroline put me on vocal rest so I wouldn't strain my voice anymore. I don't know what I would do without my friends here to help me. But enough about me blabbing on. What's a sick story that you've had? Have you ever been put on vocal rest? Well I hope everyone has a great week & I'll try to update next week.

Spring Semester Has Begun!

Hello people of the interwebs! I hope yall are having a fantabulous week so far! I know I am (well for the most part). My classes are going great so far! I;m moving into my new dorm in just 2 weeks! & I have Cru tonight! Woot woot! =D The only down sides to this week have been that I got into a fight with my best friend (but we made up so things are good now), the weather is cold & rainy & a lil icy, & I kinda overslept for my 8:25 AM lab this morning (but it's cool cuz he didn't take attendance & said the quiz didn't count for any point). I'd have to say that God has definitely been on my side! <3 I'm so glad to be back at EKU, where I actually feel like I belong. At home, it feels like all I do is work, eat, sleep, & maybe have a lil time in to hang out with my friends. If it weren't for my family & the few friends that I do have back at home left, I don't know if I would've survived my winter break! A month is just too freaking long to be away! I also have come to the decision that I'm just giving up on guys for a while until God brings someone into my life that will treat me right & won't try to change me into a whore or someone who thinks she has to have a man to be happy. I should have been doing this the whole time, but I was too wrapped up in what I wanted & the fact that the guy I've been in love with since 4th grade & the guy who I've crushed on since sophomore year of high school just both happened to ask me to "hang out" then broke my heart cuz I read too much into the situations. It was God's way of saying that I deserve someone so much better, but if I had waited for his timing then I wouldn't have ended up in those situations. What I guess I mean is, I let myself turn into one of "those" girls who only think about boys all the time for just a moment. I'm not gonna say that my 4th grade crush isn't a great kisser (cuz he is) but even though we didn't anything but makeout, I left with bruises & marks where he pretty much abused me. Then he never called or texted me except for once the next day. Which is another thing God taught me: to let go of people that hurt me or try to change me for the worse. I had to end up doing that to this guy, but I still wanna be his friend. He'll always be my best friend & I still love him & his entire family, but I've been chasing a boy who will never return those feelings for much too long. It hurts to let go, but the end result is WAY better!

I don't really have any music thing prepared this week, but I have watched part of "The Cup Song" from Pitch Perfect & it's stuck in my head! So go on youtube & go watch the amazingness of any of the versions online. Try it out & tell me if you can sing & do the cup thing. I've got them both down separately, but I haven't quite mastered both yet. Maybe yall could make a video & post in the comments if you have mastered it. Have a great rest of the week & I'll be back on here in about a week!

Live for God & Love for Music!

2013 is here!

Happy New Year! I feel like I haven't been on here in forever! I hope you all had an amazing New Year! I know I did! I went to Greensboro, NC for a winter convention with Cru called Encounter. It was seriously the most amazing experience of my life! I got really close to God this week & it felt so awesome. We went to tons of seminars about different aspects to get closer to God, great music provided by Brooks Ritter, great messages by awesome speakers (who were also college professors), had a Day of Outreach, & we prayed in 2013. I know that doesn't sound all that fun but you had to be there to experience everything that happened. I plan on doing it again next year too! It wasn't just us either, it was Cru from several different colleges from NC, SC, TN, & KY. If you don't know what Cru is, it's Christian Crusaders for Christ. We are a part of colleges all over the US & are one of the largest religious organization. I would seriously encourage you to at least check out one meeting, I promise you'll love it. (& when have I steered you all wrong?) That was my New Year. How was your's? What all did you do? I wanna know so comment below if you are readingn this.

As for the music this week, here is a video of the band that played this weekend at Encounter:
