Rochester

Fri, 17 May 2013 01:28:50 -0600

I still can’t believe how fast time is going by. I remember spending the summer of my senior year in high school scrolling through the “University of Rochester Class of 2015” page every single day, and contacting the financial aid and admissions office every day.
I thought college was going to be a lot easier than it actually is (maybe it’s because I’m always freaking over-loading). It’s definitely hard, rough and unbelievably tortuous at times.. Especially at a school like the University of Rochester.

In high school, getting a 4.0 was a breeze. I graduated with a 3.89 cumulative GPA, while also being the President of 4 different clubs, and Vice President of 3 others, and also a member of countless other clubs. In addition, I traveled abroad to complete community service every summer starting my freshman year (each trip was covered COMPLETELY — I got accepted into all these different programs and scholarships). But in college, I’m working, I’ve been taking 5 classes ever since I’ve been here, and I’m in a sorority. I haven’t had a 4.0 GPA since I’ve been here, and I got my first C on my transcript - ever. I goto every class, take notes every day, and continuously study. And I always feel like I never have time for anything else: other extracurriculars, studying abroad, and going out to party every now and then.
College is hard.

I’m a rising junior, and despite how awful it’s been overloading these past two years, I do intend to continue doing it because I know it will only benefit me. However, I do plan on adopting more extracurricular activities while also working a job, or two. I want to be the person I was in high school again. I really, really do.

Fingers crossed. AHH

Leaving at the same time doesn’t even begin to make things feel any less painful.
We have been side by side literally every single day since the start of the semester; we couldn’t be a part, ever.

You make me so. happy. I feel so special and light and protected and free around you.

3 months of endless sunshine and endless adventures won’t get you out of my mind - not even for a second. I will think about you every day. I can’t get enough of you. I can’t help myself.

I’m already counting down the days til I get to see you again. I can’t wait for you to hug and hide me from the world again.

We are so good together. We are perfect for each other.

The Real Abandoned Overlook Hotel

Unlike the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this hotel is really named the Overlook. The abandoned hotel is located in the small, wine growing town of Bernkastel-Kues in Germany. Aside from the fact that it has been unoccupied for about 13 years, there is no information as to why the hotel was closed. All of the furniture remains and it looks as if everyone there simply left. There are rumors that the hotel is haunted. According to urban explorers who frequent the spooky site, cameras malfunction, sounds can be heard throughout the premises and items seem to move around the hotel by themselves.

Im trying to write an article critique and I keep getting choked up and teary eyed. Why is it raining today? I’m so sad and I just miss you so god damn much. I wish you were here.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

I wish we could’ve talked/skyped and celebrated your birthday together. Your first college birthday would’ve been on a Friday and you would have loved it.

There’s a girl in my school who looks just like you and every time I see her, I notice my heart skips several beats. If only. The girl has no idea who I am, but I can’t help but stare at her.. And there’s a girl on my sorority whose name is Zoe, too. And her personality reflects yours. There’s so much around me that reminds me of you on a daily basis.

I just miss you, Zoe.

You’re so beautiful, so inspirational and so, so missed by me and everyone else who surrounded you.

My love goes out to you every day, but Im sending out ten times more to you on this special day. To you and your family.

You are missed, and you are loved. You always will be.

Happy 19th birthday, beautiful sunshine

Femen Stages a ‘Topless Jihad’

Earlier today, members of Ukrainian feminist group Femen staged protests across Europe as they called for a “topless jihad.” The demonstrations were in support of a young Tunisian activist named Amina Tyler. Last month, Tyler posted naked images of herself online, with the words “I own my body; it’s not the source of anyone’s honor” written on her bare chest. The head of Tunisia’s “Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,” reportedly called for Tyler to be stoned to death for her putatively obscene actions, lest they lead to an epidemic. Tyler has since gone quiet, leading some to fear for her safety. Below are images from Femen’s protests today in Sweden, Italy, Ukraine, Belgium, and France. A warning, nearly every photo depicts nudity, and most contain offensive language.

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:40:00 -0600

most days, i love you. most days, i just want to lay down in some long, lost and forgotten place to just be from the rest of the world and simply be with you. most days, i want to just document how often you make me laugh, smile and produce silly, obnoxious noises. i wish that there was enough time in each day for me to write down how much i truly care about you and how much you mean to me. soon, it’ll be a year since we’ve be together. a year full of food, fun, sleep, love and laughter. a year full of trust, dedication and inspiration. we’ve fought quite a few times - some serious fights and some not so serious fights.. i don’t even think any of our arguments lasted more than a couple of hours. we always found our ways back to each other, stronger and better.

but today, it’s hard for me to remember how much i love you because i get so angry and so frustrated. all of that negative energy blocks how much i care for you. how could i love someone so much and feel so negative towards them? you don’t like it when i get so upset, and i don’t like it when you’re upset. so why does this keep happening?

i tell you why i’m feeling the way i feel. sometimes you listen, and sometimes you hide your face behind your god damn iphone. i know you have the best of intentions and want to make me happy, but you only do that through the easiest tasks and obstacles that i present to you. when it comes to the more serious ones, like.. i don’t know.. caring about something more than just some stupid ass online game or purchasing expensive things… you say you’ll do it, but you never do. you just nod your head, apologize, hope that i forgive you, and then we move on. but then we keep encountering the same problem over and over and over again.

i come from a family who had to work for EVERYTHING. and because of that, my family quickly learned how to become self sufficient and independent. they took advantage of their education because they understood how important it was. they learned as much as they could, they tried and they worked their butts off. nothing was ever simply given to them - they had to work for it. and they did. they never took the easy way out because the understood that through the obstacles they would be granted growth, experience and other rewards. they’re my absolute role models and they are the reason why i do what i do today. overload, take on more than i can.. because I know that i can do whatever i set my mind to. i’m just trying to find my limit — if it even exists.

you have no excuse to be tired, to be uninspired or unmotivated. you have the world at your fingertips, so the least you can do is try. because nothing should ever have to be presented to you on a silver platter. work for it. i want you to work for it. i want you to stay focused and really try. you know how much this means to me.. and you know why. this is one of the few things that ONLY YOU have control over. it COMPLETELY effects you and no one else. yeah, i guess it indirectly impacts me, but that doesn’t matter.

i want you to be a member of my role models. i want to be able to say “damn, my boyfriend is such a hard worker. he’s passionate, he’s smart and he’s motivated.” i want that so much. i want everyone else to see it too.

i know you can do it. so why aren’t you? just please. please. please. work for it. you’re so full of surprises and i feel like this is one of them.

i do love you, lots. more than i ever could have imagined. so isn’t that enough of a reason to get you to do this? i shouldn’t have to push you this hard.

so until you decide to do something about this problem, i’m going to keep pushing you. but there will be a point where i won’t be able to push you anymore (and i feel like that point is coming up real soon).

come on.
