Life's Little Book of Instructions

" I like nonsense; it wakens up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
--- Dr. Seuss

It's just a thought...

Maybe he's just not that into you...

Just from the title of this blog, I bet you can guess where my inspiration came from. Needless to say, it's a subject that has gotten me thinking...why are we so concerned about over analyzing everything people do in relationships? I guess as girls, we are conditioned to believe that when a guy says something, there is a lot more to what he is saying than just the words coming out of his mouth. However, the only reason we believe this is because we, as girls, do the complete opposite. That is, we cannot be direct. Sorry, but you have to face the truth. We try to avoid hurting people's feelings, confrontation, whatever, by beating around the bush. We say something, but we mean something else. I'm not saying that I'm not guilty of this too, but what's the point? Guys are direct. What they say is what they mean, simple as that. So, now that we have established that, lets move on...

As I said, boys are direct. If they want to call you, they will. If they want to text you, they will. If they want anything to do with you, they will make it happen. If you are waiting for one of the things said above, but have yet to see any progress, guess what honey...yup, you know what I'm gonna say, he's probably just not that into you. So next time you're at a party and have consumed a bit too much, and you start to get that slushy, mushy feeling in your stomach when you see couples all around you, don't grab your phone and call that potential guy because it will only lead to bad things. Instead think WWPCD, what would Princess Camilla (hint hint: she's the princess of Wales) do. Would she call that guy sobbing about how he is such a jerk and how he should care more about her? Would she check her phone every ten minutes to see if he texted her back? Would she text him AGAIN just because he didn't respond to the first text? Clearly, the answer to all these questions is NO. So, that means you shouldn't do any of these things either, becuase your just as much of a princess as she is...kinda.

Skeptics and True Believers Part II

I was inspired to write part II of this blog after sitting with Tonhu in a place that I frequent quite often, the lounge on the second floor of the Thompson building. We sat there for a long time recapping on this past weekends events and, you guessed it, fate.
As you can probably guess, I really am a believer in the concept. I mean, c'mon, how many times have I already mentioned it in this blog?! I just think it's a fascinating concept, and I am always looking at it from different angles.
Its funny how no matter how strongly we believe in something, one day, someone can just come into our lives and completely break down the complex we hold. I know what I believe, and when something, or someone, seems unattainable, I should just know that the situation is out of my hands. Just stop trying. No matter how many times I say that to other people (Nhu =]), its hard to believe it yourself. Yep, here comes that word again. Fate. Whatever is supposed to happen will. So just open your hands, and let it all fall away. Stop stressing yourself out becuase there is nothing you can do.
Valentine's Day is only a week away. Wanna know my plans? Well, me and Tonhu are going to be doing...nothing. Yep, nothing. In fact, it seems like were going to be the only people left on this whole campus, becuase everyone is going home. I liked what Nhu wrote, she said, "how is it that most of my friends have found... "the one". while i've never ever even had "one". My response to this is that you just have to believe that this is just the bulid-up. On the fourth of July you watch fireworks go off, one by one, some bigger and brighter than the others. But, you always know what will end up happening. The grand finale, the best part. All those other "fireworks" are just fillers until the end. Just know that right now it might seem like your the only one without someone to watch the fireworks with, but that just means that when you finally have them laying in the grass next to you looking up at that beautiful sky, it will be that much better.

Chasing the Night.

Let's turn this up a little bit louder.

There's nothing like an...let's call it "eventful" weekend after a stressful week of midterms.
I really am having the time of my life right now. I don't mean that I don't miss my best friends at home, and the amazing times we shared there, but this is something different. A different experience entirely. I think that the fact that you're not at home anymore makes a huge difference. You don't have to be home at a certain time, and you depend on the friends you have around you to be your substitute family.
Were young. What everyone says is true, this really is the time of your life, so enjoy it. Do something crazy, take a chance, don't be afraid to experience things. Above all, appreciate all the beauty that life has to offer you, because that is something that we ofter forget to do until it is too late.

"These are the days that we will always remember.
Chasing the night to make our days better. "

Life is a never ending learning experience, and I'm sure enjoying the ride.
