Working the Night Shift

Hey yall! I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but I have a new job as a desk worker on campus. I work the late shift (either 1-5 am or 5-9 am usually). I am surprisingly not as tired as I thought I would be & I am actually getting by well with little sleep. Tonight I am working 1-5 for the first time and it's going well so far. Some of the perks about my shift are that I get to go to different buildings that I would never go to if I didn't have this job, and I get to do some studying, homework, and sometimes catch up on shows. One time I watched 3 episodes of Teen Wolf in the time span of my shift. I also get to work when hardly anyone is walking through, so I get to pretty much get paid for doing almost nothing. It's pretty great! I don't like getting up early or staying up extra late, but it's a paycheck so I can't really complain. There's no one to bother you. You hardly see anybody, unless it's Thursday and they're coming back from partying all night. So far I haven't experienced that, but I've heard the horror stories. Unfortunately, I don't get to have my laptop so I'm forced to use the computer that is used for swiping people in. That means when people come in or have to check out I have to switch screens fast. For the most part I can't really complain about my job!

This week I am just going to have a random list of songs that I usually listen to when I'm just chilling out and not doing much.

1. "Dirty Little Secrets" by The All-American Rejects
2. "Somewhere in Neverland" by All Time Low
3. "Chocolate" by The 1975
4. "Three Cheers for Five Years" by Mayday Parade
5. "Lightning in a Bottle" by The Summer Set
6. "Adorable" by Artist Vs Poet
7. "Counting Stars" by One Republic
8. "Demons" by Imagine Dragons
9. "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore
10. "Jasey Rae" by All Time Low

There you have it folks! I hope yall have a great day! What are some songs you like to listen to chill out and relax?

Live for God & Love for Music!

Expectations

Hey yall! Have you ever had one of those weeks where you feel like everyone is just expecting too much from you? You have to dress a certain way, act a certain way, have certain opinions, and talk a certain way. If you have an off day or if you do just one little thing that is different, it's like you having to be sick or something. & it's not just from classes, it's from work, family, friends, peers, people walking down the street, & just everyone in society. The only person, at this point, that I really care about what they think of me is God, & I know that He loves me no matter what. I just get fed up with having to put on a front like I'm in the wrong if I forget about one little thing or just do something that's out of character for me. It's like I can't have a bad day or a bad day without making someone mad cuz they expected something from me that I didn't provide. The worst part is that I feel if I say anything then I'm a jerk for telling someone what I think. Even if it's someone I'm close to, I feel like I can't say anything without getting accused of acting really strange. Sometimes I just forget to do things cuz of the hundred thousand other things I have on my plate to worry about that desire my attention. I don't mean to forget things, it just happens & in the moment I can't do anything except say "sorry" & try to move on from the situation. Or there's those situations when I don't wanna hear someone complain about how sucky their day has been, but I don't feel like I can tell them that I don't wanna hear about it cuz, once again, I come out looking like the jerk & like I don't care about them. I do care, but in that moment I just don't wanna hear about something negative. Society expects too much out of us & the only way to deal with it most of the time is too sit back & listen & not say a word. It's the only way that you will for sure not look like the bad person in the situation. So, I have this blog to write all my feelings out & if you've made it to this point then sweet! but I understand if people don't wanna finish it cuz let's face it, I don't have expectations of anyone reading my blog. I'm glad I have a place to go to get out all of my feelings in a healthy way & if people read it then that's cool, but I don't write these in hopes that someone will read it. It's a way of getting things off my chest before I explode.

So now that that's over, here's the part you were probably actually waiting for.....MUSIC RECOMMENDATION TIME!!!!! This week are 10 songs that will probably help you let go of all your pent up emotions & rock out.

1. "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan
2. "All the Small Things" by Blink-182
3. "In Too Deep" by Sum 41
4. "American Idiot" by Green Day
5. "Honesty" by Cartel
6. "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard
7. "Lost in Stereo" by All Time Low
8. "Chin Up Kid" by Forever the Sickest Kids
9. "Oh Well, Oh Well" by Mayday Parade
10. "The Best Thing (That Never Happened)" by We Are The In Crowd

That's my list! Do you have anymore to add to the list? Hope yall have a great week & don't let the expectations of the world get you down. 

God Bless!
