Soul Age Quiz

http://higherperspectives.com/soul-born/


I took this quiz about when my soul was born and the results were pretty interesting.

This is the result I got "Your soul was born when you were born! You're brand new! You started this life with a clean slate, making your reliable, kindhearted, generous to a fault and not jaded by the woes of the world. Your soul is pure light, without all the baggage that others come with. You're relaxed, easy going and can light up any room with your smile... Use your innocence well because you're only brand new once!"

What kind of soul do you have? If you took the quiz do you believe the results were correct?

My result seems to be pretty accurate. I'm still pretty innocent, kindhearted, and easy going. I like to give everyone a fair chance. It is important to me to help others and not hurt them.

Pretty Little Liars

A friend of mine got me into the show Pretty Little Liars. It's on netflix right now. The show is about teenagers, but there is so much drama. A person called A is stalking these girls, framing them, etc. They cannot figure out who A is and the story seems to never end. It's like a never ending mystery show. I would recommend checking it out if you like mystery, drama, romance, etc.

Some things I learned from Pretty Little Liars:
~People lie (A lot).
~Nothing is as it seems.
~Even strong people go through hard times.
~Sometimes your worst enemies are better than your best friends.
~Sometimes your worst enemy is your best friend.
~Girls play way to many games.

Honestly, there are a million things you can learn from pretty little liars. Let me know the lessons you have learned from it.

Burpee Workout

I already knew I wasn't in shape, but this showed me how out of shape I actually am. If you are looking into getting back into working out, this is probably not the exercise to try. It is a good test to show you how much you can improve though. I made it through the first two sets of burpee's, but couldn't bring myself to do the third. I was lightheaded, out of breath, and in plain. I know that sounds crazy and stupid, but I haven't worked out in years (other than riding bikes). I'm trying to get back in shape to run a 5k with my friend next month.

Let me know your experience with this workout. I may not be able to do this whole workout in one workout session, but I plan to split it up throughout the day. I will get back in shape. Try it out and comment :). 

Cafepress Shop

I love creating things and coming up with designs, so I decided to give this a try. Some of the items are from pictures I have taken and some of them are from designs I created online.

If you are creative I would suggest trying out this site to sell stuff. I just started yesterday (none of my stuff has sold yet). It's worth trying it. If you want me to check out your shop or ideas feel free to message me.

http://www.cafepress.com/ezstuff

PS: It is really not that easy to set up your stuff on this site. It took me a while to figure it out. You need to create your shop before making your items. If you do it the other way around (Like I did), your items will not be found on the site. You can put the items on your own site as well if you own one.

Dubsmash

My boyfriends sister got me into dubsmash. I downloaded it as an app on my phone and it is really fun to use. I will post some of my video's for you to check out below. If you try it feel free to send me a link to your videos, I always like a good laugh. 

This is just one of my video's. I will probably post more eventually or I will put a link up if I put them on youtube :). Stay awesome. Have fun on dubsmash.

The Science of Happiness

Right now I am taking a free class called the science of happiness. I am not an expert in happiness, but I think that human dynamics are interesting. One common theme among humans, is that most people are striving towards happiness. I am partaking in this class and trying to participate in the discussions.

If anyone else is interested in stuff like this feel free to look into it. edx.org is the provider of the class. The class is taught by professors at Berkeley. If you want a certificate saying you have taken this class, they do have them available at a cost. The class itself is free though.

I hope you check it out and have fun if you decide to take it.

Goodreads Giveaways

For all of you book lovers out there, goodreads it awesome. I use it to review books and enter into book giveaways. There are a million other things you can do on there as well.

I would suggest checking it out when you get a chance. The link is https://www.goodreads.com/. There are new giveaways each day. To get to the giveaways section go to the drop down menu that is on the side. It is always nice to rate the books that you get from the giveaways. The authors will really appreciate it.

Good luck everyone :).

Naming Force

Naming Force (namingforce.com) is a good website for entering contests to earn extra money. All you do is sign up and start coming up with names for companies and/or products. I have been using it for a week now and came up with some pretty awesome names (even though I have not won yet). The companies will give you a description of what they are looking for. The process is really simple and fun. Hopefully I will win a contest soon. To earn a chance to submit more names into the contest you can vote for other peoples company names.

Good luck on winning everyone. Happy voting as well :).

Music Moods

This may not be true for everyone, but music makes my life better. There are lyrics that can describe what I am going through most of the time. There is music for good times, bad times, mad times, sad times, and any time. It is normally a healthy outlet for people that are struggling. I absolutely love music. If it wasn't for music I don't think I would have made it this far in life.

Music does not work for everyone and will not help everyone, but it could. If you are struggling please find a healthy coping meyhod, like music.

Do you have songs or a different coping method that has helped you through hard times? I hope you do :).

Complexities in Caring

This is going to be me venting and just thinking out my problems, so if it bothers you feel free not to read it. I am not a fan of people posting about their personal problems online. To me this is more than just a personal problem. To me this is a problem that most if not all of you reading this post have probable gone through.

Friends are complicated. It doesn't matter what kind of friends you are and you don't even have to be friend I guess. Relationships in general are complicated. Sometimes when we get caught up in our own problems we don't see the bigger picture, but when we step outside of ourselves there is always a bigger picture. As I am up late at night thinking about friendship, I realized that there are probably a million other people in the world struggling in relationships as well. 

Maybe it's a significant other, a parents, a best friend, a worst enemy, a bully, or someone you barely know. You sit there struggling and thinking you are alone.... But you aren't. Non of us are alone in this. There is someone out there in the world struggling with the same problems you are. Plus most relationships go two ways and the person on the other end of the struggling relationship might be feeling the same way.

I am not a person to give advice on this subject. Chances are if you are hurting, scared, depressed, confused, unsure, feelings used, vulnerable, etc. any advice I could give you wouldn't change your situation anyway. I think it is OK to feel all those things. They are just emotions. Can emotions be painful? Yes. Does it sometimes feel like you won't make it through? Yes. Will you cry, scream, freak out, yell at people, be in a bad mood, retaliate? Maybe, that is kind of up to you. 

I guess my point is that it is natural. It is natural to get caught up in relationships. We are human and we get caught up in relationships because we care. Caring can give us some of the greatest joys in life and some of our greatest pains. They are kind of bonded in a weird way. Joy and pain have a crazy complicated relationship. Sometimes things don't work out and you have to let go. Sometimes you have to fight your heart out to hold on (and it may not work). Just know that you are not alone and that the struggle matters. Eventually, it is worth something. It's a lesson, an experience, a part of life.

Even if this post doesn't help anyone else, I know it helped one person. It helped me. Thank you for reading and I hope I don't get labeled as a crazy person lol.

Money on the Side (Animal Lovers)

This is an awesome opportunity to remember or do if you have your own house. I plan on doing this when I get a house hopefully. If you need a dog sitter or want to become a dog sitter check out these websites:
1. https://dogvacay.com/
2. http://www.rover.com/

If you are wanting to find a sitter, just search your area and the results for open sitters will come up.

If you are interested in being a dog sitter you must create a profile. Try to post some good pet-friendly pictures, told about your experience, set a reasonable rate, and say if you want to watch the dogs at your house or their house. Good luck finding a job or side job my fellow dog lovers.

DV and SA

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault are a pressing problem in today's society. I'm not saying these issues didn't exist in the past, but with the use of the media and connections we have today, we are better able to address and spread awareness of these issues. I was an intern at a women's shelter that is fighting to spread the word and help put an end to these issues. Every person deserves a safe and loving relationship. Don't be afraid to get help. There are people out there who can help and will help. You are not alone and you will never be alone.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox made a speech at SVSU yesterday and I was able to see it. She is AMAZING!!! I know a lot of people are transphobic, but honestly that is an issue that they need to deal with. Laverne is a powerful African-American trans women. The first time I saw her was on Orange is the new black. She plays a trans women who was sent to prison. Orange is the new black has a largely diverse group of people in the show, which is part of the reason I love it so much. It brings awareness to Lesbians as well, making it more acceptable and talked about.

Anyway during Laverne's speech she talked about some history things, including the poem "Ain't I a Women." Laverne has overcome so many 'isms' and she is still following her dreams. Even if you do not like trans-people, you have no right to treat them like dirt. This is often times the case, which is sickening in this society. America is not free or brave, we hide behind politics and institutional oppression, because we are scared to accept each other. We are all human.... So stop judging others and let them be themselves.

Orange is the new black can be found on netflix.

What the Post

I haven't posted on here in a while and I figured, well why not post. I have another blog that I post to now, but that doesn't mean this one needs to crash and burn. I will write about more personal stuff on here, while I write about more general stuff on the other blog.

Right now I have a pretty lame life, consisting of school, my internship, and reading or trying new things on my free time. I quit my job at Salvation Army (the thrift store) before starting my internship because we were having scheduling conflicts. I kind of miss it, but I really don't most of the time. I miss talking to the people, customers and workers.

Here is a really random thought, Trix cereal is pretty flipping awesome, but it has a chemical like after taste. I was just eating some, then I realized the taste after words. I'm glad I have some gum here.

That's all for now broski's, I really need to start posting on here more, so I will try to follow through with that. Good luck and happy days ahead everyone.

Go Girl (Get to peeing)

So we all know there are some crazy, funny, interesting, useful, etc. things that have been invented. Well today I found one that probable fits all of the labels that I just threw out there. This thing is called a Go Girl (http://www.go-girl.com/). I'm not sure I fully understand the concept of it yet. I get that you pee into this thing, but where does the pee go from there. Does it simply angle the pee away from your body, so you're peeing like a man? Or does the pee stay in the thing until you are done and then you dump it out?

First off, if it makes you pee like a man for when you are out camping or whatever, then that is pretty cool. You can finish your business without having to worry about snakes or spiders or anything else getting you in the butt. Not to mention you will not have to worry about squatting in poison ivy. But if it stays in the cup thing..... That could get awkward. Like what if you have to much pee for it to hold? What happens then? Or if you somehow manage to miss the cup thing. I mean don't get me wrong I'm not calling all of us dumb, but Americans are pretty good at having twinky moments.

On top of all this it is reusable. I don't know how you are going to clean it and sanitize it if you are camping or out in the middle of no where, but hey at least it is said to be reusable right? Just I'm gonna hope if you use it you at least find a river or something to wash this dodad out with before you put it back in its little carrying case.

Idk what you all think about this, but it is an interesting little thing.....

Do what makes you come alive!!!

          Something on earth needs to be created. Earth is BIGGER AND BETTER than all of us. Yet we all seem to get wrapped in this misconception that we matter and that everyone is out to get us. We get wrapped in our tinny little brains. What we want, need, or how we feel. Yes, you matter to people and yes you are a piece of the puzzle. But guess what, everyone is a piece of the puzzle. Everyone has an important part in life, but they are so focused on themselves that they can not see it. They can not see that they are important enough.

          I want to start a movement. There are a lot of movements to join as it is, but there is so much more to life than all of that. I like a separation, an outward focus, and a dream to make this world even bigger and better than it already is. We get caught up in our needs and destroy everyone and everything around us. Some people are always going to be that way. That is not my mission though. I interact with people I am trying to help all day, but it's a little piece of it. 

        I think everyone needs to find a root, a place where they can go and be happy, then build on it. Take that and grow it into something bigger. If you are not making yourself better or doing something more. If you are caught in your own head, then pick your butt up and find a different place. Replant your seed, redo your life. But do something different. BE BETTER AND DO BETTER!!!! You are not dead or defective. You are caught in your own mind, so get out. Stop the cycle. If I or anyone else trigger your unhappiness, then move the flip on. KEEP STEPPING BRO!!!! People make themselves unhappy, so make yourself better. Find people to help and support you, and get better. End of story.

Love that class

 MY PROFESSOR TODAY LOOKED JUST LIKE CHRISTINA YANG from Grey's Anatomy. Her personality was kind of like her too. She was talking about plagiarism and how it was bad. She gave us some examples, then goes just don't do it, its bad and everyone cries. Then, she smiles and goes well not me I don't cry, but you will cry and your parents may cry. She was so funny. I am going to love this class :). I can not wait to have class again next Friday.

If I ever get married I want a picture like that. I will make it happen lol.

My new roommate seems awesome. I walked in today and she was cooking. They had the door open waving it, because it was smelling up the whole house. I don't mind the smell, but it was really strong lol. They looked so embarrassed when I walked in. I thought it was funny.

I have the blondest and most sensitive friends. I love them all, but it is just odd. I mean idk how I always end up with the friends I get. I love it haha. I'm alone now so I get to watch Grey's which is exciting. I better hurry before someone messages me wanting to meet up. I need to get a lot of stuff done today or else I will be doing homework and scheduling all weekend.

Nice Boulder

 Like legit bro lol. Seriously that picture sounds just like me haha. This is probably going to be a really short post. I may even go to bed really really early tonight. I am wiped out. Everyday this week I leave my dorm early and come back really late. Half the time my friends want me to stay over, but at some times I know it just wont work. If I am as pooped as I have been lately and they have a later class than me I know I will not get up.

Right now I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. Like rowing but replaced with waiting lol. I was taking the time to get stuff done that I need to, but now I did as much as I felt like doing. Plus I am about to fall asleep.

Oh boy busy, busy, busy. And I'm very blonde, blonde, blonde. Any who, for those of you in relationships on top, enjoy it. And for those of you boulder lovers, we are better :P. Jkjk.

Whatever floats your goat!

Hello everyone. I will still be trying to update my blog as much as I can. Between school, friends, groups, reading, trying to get back in shape, planning events, and trying to stay up to date with my latest shows (plus watch all the friends episodes), not to mention sleeping and eating time; I will probably not have much time to blog. I should not be up this late blogging, but I just got home and took a shower.

As I have been journeying through this semester I have already started to grow even more as a person. Sooner or later I would like to be completely honest with everyone about my life, feelings, and what is going on. I am an honest person and I am open to talking to people about my experiences. I have a hard time writing the events that happened throughout the day on here. As I walk into this new semester I hope to gain more skills and be open to learning.

I would like to address something really quickly. I normally vent, write about life, people, funny stories, etc. I would like to be able to share more with you, but I hold myself back from just writing about my day. My goal of writing isn't to give you a play by play of my daily life. Sometimes I do like to share news with you though. As I write this blog I think about a few of my good friends who read it and wonder if they wish I would tell them the info, instead of writing about it on here. Truth is I would love to share all of this with them, but it's just not that simple. With that being said I have an announcement...... I was asked to become the leader of an amazing group on campus.

Though I would love to talk more about all the amazing things this semester has in store for me (or the groups of us) I have to get to bed. I woke up at 9:30 and this is the first time I have been home since then.
