#LibraryProbs

WHERE AM I YOU MIGHT ASK?

 No not in the dining hall, like usual, but...THE LIBRARY. Yes ladies and gentleman I am sitting in the good ole library. Studying was going well...until I opened my laptop. After that things just seemed to go downhill. fast. Lets count the number of times I've actually been here in the library: 1...2...3...and yeah...that's about it.

People might think "If you don't go to the library, you're doing it wrong. There' no way you can study in your room."
In my point of view, you get just as much work done here as you would there, ya know?
For me, I have a hard time concentrating- correction, I actually have an addiction to the Internet so thats the first of my problems. Staying focused is a lot harder than I thought. Since I have no one nagging me *cough mom cough* I have to discipline myself and start planning my days accordingly...it's like I actually have to start growing up or something. Werid.

BUT BESIDES THAT. The library and I. Yeah, we're not friends. Let me explain.

1) Because this school is so dandy, there are not enough computers at all times. So, whenever I feel like being studious and actually try using the printer....there are none. Which leads to me standing around like a lost puppy and everyone looks at me as if I have 5 heads. Lovely.
2) The library is a pretty good hike from my dorm. Don't get me wrong I love to exercise and all, but when I come into the library I shouldn't look like I just climbed mount everest.
3) I have the most awkward life (if you didn't know) and I always seem to have at least one awkward encounter with a student or faculty member every time I come here and I'm not sure why this happens but it always does and I'm pretty much over it.

That is pretty much that. I think the moral of the story is...I need to stick with studying in my room because being in public is clearly just to much for me to handle. Looks like my time here is up and I think a printer may have opened up. THERE IS A GOD.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day, happy monday!
And hey, Don't forget your smile :)

HAHAHA YOU'RE CONFUSED? same.

Its 12:56 am and I'm sitting her bright eyed and bushy tailed. TEAM NO SLEEP.
I'm not really sure what's happened in the past 48 hours or pretty much the last week, but what I do know is...at the end of the day you can only make yourself happy. I've recently had some bad luck (to say the least) and I keep questioning myself over and over "why me God just why", but I guess He knows I can handle all this and somehow thinks I'll be able to get up time and time again after being knocked down.  Relying on other people to make you happy will get you no where. Being content with yourself is the only way you can really live YOUR life. Trying to make others around you happy when your the one whose suffering will lead you no where.

When I think about everything that has happened I think to myself "wow is this real life" (literally all i say now a days) but after remind myself, yes this is real life and yes all this bull sh*t is happening to me,  I say to myself "another life lesson: check." Through all the bad, you have to find a positive. I may not be the happiest girl ever right now, I may have cried my eyes out a time to many and I have may have missed another gym session ( don't worry I'm going tomorrow at 10) but I have learned so much about myself and others that I probably wouldn't have realized if it wasn't for these stupid situations.

College is one crazy place let me tell ya. No one can really prepare for this, but as long as you're confident in yourself and true to who you are, things won't be all that bad. Trust me.

And on that note, going to get some sleep would probably be the smart idea. so goodnight ALL YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE. AND HEY


Dont forget your smile :)

Where's Shakespeare At?

Papers. On papers. ON PAPERS.

I feel like all I do is find myself trying to write papers...emphasis on the word "trying".  I have discovered that trying to sit down and focus on writing is actually a lot harder than I thought. I could probably write endlessly on here, but when it comes to an assigned topic like "Massive Open Online Courses"...yeah. I rather stick forks in my eyes.  Multiple forks.
Anyone have Shakespeare's number? Maybe he can help me. If only he was still around...that man would of been my savior during a time like this.
It's funny though....my major is actually english... But I guess I have to go through the "dirty work first" (as I like to call it) and then HOPEFULLY  be able to get to write about things I truly care about and have an interest in. Gotta work my way up. Started from the bottom...okay okay I'm getting a bit carried away. I really need to write this. ERRRGGG.
Okay.
Okay.
Here I go.

Have a grand day everyone and 

Don't Forget To Smile 

:)

AND HEY PS
Go check out Steph's Blog.
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TOO !!!!!
MY GURL STEPHS BLOG

WELCOME, you.

1...2... 3...BLOG

Well hello there everyone. This is my very first post on this blog. Not gonna lie I kind a feel like Jenna from awkward except she types a lot faster than I do and has a really hot boyfriend, neither of which I have the ability to do or have...oh... BUT ANYHOW. My names Ali...you can call me...Ali, and you're probably wondering why I've started this little public diary. Welp...it all started when my friend Steph texted me in all caps "YOU NEED TO MAKE A BLOG NOW." At first I was over joyed I had received a text from my long lost best friend*tear tear* and second, I read the text again and thought to myself "there is no way in *enter few choice words here* hell that is happening."
Steph: 1
Ali: 0
... -_- YOU WON STEPH. (take note this will rarely EVER happen)

Little does she know, I have actually always wanted to start my own blog, but was too nervous to do so. The thought of people reading into my every day life seems kinda strange...but then again I have a twitter that over 500 people read so, I mean,  I guess I'm already half way there with the whole "sharing my life" thing-y.
(nice one Ali)

So starting this blog, is kind of like starting a new me (corny, i know, lets embrace it and move on)
I'm pretty much ready to post whatever I want whenever I want and not be in the slightest concern of what others think. So Steph, if you're reading this....thank you. I truly appreciate you pushing me out of my comfort zone and above and beyond to heights I could of never reached without you. You will be the first one I thank when this blog goes viral. l o l o l o l.

Well since that is all out of the way it's time to go back to reality, which consists of me drowning in endless papers for my wonderful english class. MY LYFE ROCKS. no but really someone please come do this paper for me.

Have a grand day everyone, and hey!
Don't forget your smile.
