Olympics!

Hey y'all!

I love the Olympics! This time is my favorite time period ever! The fandom mixed with the hot athletes mixed with excitement it is ahhh!
So Sochi opening ceremony aired last night, it was definitely original and I felt so bad for Russia when the fifth circle failed right at the beginning. I would have cried if I was the engineer behind that.
I heard that Russia wanted to make the Ceremony like China's from six years ago. To an extent, I think that they did but I personally liked London's the best. London kept my attention with all of the performances (plus I could understand them) but I do like the technology that Russia brought to the table. The Olympic God lights where really pretty.
The Olympics are where I feel like athletes get their full recognition for what they do. I don't pay attention to who wins what any other time then these moments (Olympics). I know I am not the only other one to do this either. At the Olympics, they get to be with other people who risk life, time and hundreds of dollars. They do this and push them selves for this event where they get full recognition and to walk into the Opening Ceremony and stand there for their country and prove their worth. These medals are like a symbol saying "Hey I didn't waste my time!" "You all who said I couldn't do it were wrong!"
People like him who are the only ones from their country bring so much pride and deserve so much more. He is from Bermuda and there are others who are the only ones from their country or the first one to send their country to the winter Olympics. They make me proud. They have been dealt the most crap probably in their lives and they pushed through to get to that ceremony and hold the flag for their country.
 This guy, Antonio Pardo, made me smile so much last night. He did what I would probably do if I was a lone athlete. He danced, jumped and ran with the flag. He is from Venezuela, a Alpine skier and a survivor. He had a brain tumor about 35 years ago. The surgery pluralized half of his body but he has since been able to recover completely and ready to represent his country. He is an inspiration with his saying "do it because you love it" and clearly he loves his country, life and skiing.
This is what the Olympics are about: love. Love for a sport. Love for your country. Love for life. Love for the world and what it brings us.

I hope y'all enjoy life.
Love y'all!

Valentine Cards

Hi Y'all!

Here is some hearts made of shoes and feet that my friend and I did at the movies!
So I have been extremely into Pinterest lately, it's beginning to get unhealthy for my email with all the notifications from Pinterest. But my email shall survive. I like to look at the DIY page because how cute some of the ideas people come up with are. If I was to strive to do what some of these people do, it would be ugly but I can admire them. The stores have probably been ready for Valentine's Day for like 2-3 months now but it only now about that time. A scholarship that I did for Do Something had me make Valentine's Day cards for the elderly. I made mine then looked at Pinterest (dumb move) to be blown away by some ideas that people come up with. How do they do it? I just do not know.

look how cute these are for babies


  I love the Birthday one and all the details in the right one.

 Little kid things like this warms my heart to the tips of my toes.

         I know the p.s I love you isn't a card but it could be. The one with the heart and circle is so simple which I see is the best way to show love. You could show love everyday which is why Valentine's Day confuses me. Why do we need a special day to show love? Marketers are the only reason I know. But the thank you card has inspired me to make my own Thank You cards for graduation. I will let you know how they turn out.I know I am not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day but I hope you all have a great day!Love y'all!

Wrap Up

Hi y'all!
Happy last day of the month!
For me, this month has been about tv shows with a bunch coming back and new ones starting.
The Fosters, Teen Wolf, Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Reign have all come back and they have all shifted and molded to a new view point which have kept me on my toes. Oh and being a teenage girl I cannot forget Pretty Little Liars. Then new shows have come about or I just started paying attention towards like The Bachelor (shoot me I am a female and he is hot) and Opposite Worlds plus Are You the One?!

Tune in for an ALL NEW Episode of The Fosters next Monday 1/27 at 9pm/8c on ABC Family! Every show has to have a love triangle apparently and The Fosters are no different. Now that Wyatt is gone, they brought in this cute, evil little triangle. I am not sure how I feel about it nor the extreme desire that Brandon has to be with Callie. He is quite intense regarding his puppy love but she needs someone! Everyone needs someone.
Stiles from teen wolf such an awesome show I love his smile! ERMAHGAWD ok, so when me and my bro saw this episode, we just paused it at this scene and laughed. now we call it the 'Stiles Smile.'





This is from last season but Stiles in this scene made me smile so much. Teen Wolf has gone darker than dark this season! Like legit evil demon dark. They are moving around couples it is such a different show in a sense this season than other ones. They brought in a new girl, Kira, whom I don't quite know what to make of because the story line around her is confusing but she makes Scott happy. Then Stiles might have helped the murder kill her, I don't know. It is confusing but I like it. Mostly because of Stiles and Isaac. Isaac is hot and he is morbid which is funny to me which is probably bad in a sense but I don't care.





Keeping up with the Kardashians

This family, I don't even know where to begin. They are so screwed up on a level that it is hilarious. There values on certain terms like family is amazing and something to applaud them for but other things it is like WTF?! The show is a guilty pleasure for me. There is no real rhyme or reason behind the episodes other than something that they cook up like last Sunday it was Kris wanting to be on Broadway. Before that it was something about Scott finding a hobby and lying about karate. It is so stupid but the way they handle it is insanely comical.
'Reign' (The CW) - new series this fall follows teenage Mary Queen of Scots to French court







 I love Frary and extrememely unpleased by the fact that Canada gets to watch the new episodes before us Americans. But the new episode last night was so good with the Catherine situation and the baby! I actually now don't mind Bash but still prefer Francis. I have 2 posts talking about Reign already here and here for y'all.
Pretty Little Liars ...













Sorry to all of my friends but I would have stopped trying to find you after the second death. Allison was not a friend to risk life for sorry but she wasn't. I want to know how much longer can they prolong the life of the show? Is it going to be like Soap Opera's where they continue for 15 years or is it going to send before the actors turn 30? I am frankly getting bored with this show at this point. It is getting ridiculous. They sent Caleb away which I am disappointed about since they were my favorite couple. Spencer is now crazy and nearly a druggie. Aria is oblivious which makes me bad. Emily is partly stupid and in love still but at the same time realistic regarding certain life aspects.
The Bachelor~Juan Pablo Galavis








I am incredibly late on this trend but I love it now. I was watching Sweet Home Alabama on CMT but that show ended and this one came on! He is so sweet and genuine; it is adorable. My favorite girl is becoming Kelly, the dog lover, or both single moms. I don't quite know about some of the others but the Hippie was hilarious and real which I thought was good but I don't blame him for getting rid of her.
Opposite Worlds: Elimination 1









This is a new show on Syfy. It is a game show that is an experiment to see if technology affects the performance of humans through having a team live in the future with tons of technology then another team life in the past like cavemen. They are actually having viewers become a part of it by using Twitter to provide rewards and punishments for players. Each week a player leaves the game through a competition. Each team, the future and past, gets to vote for one member to be safe from elimination. These two players are then voted on by America to select who gets to pick the 2 players to go against each other. The loser goes home while the winner returns to their team. It's interesting in my eyes.
Are You The One? is a new dating show coming to MTV from Monday.
This is the cast/ contestants for MTV's new reality/ game show where they have to find their soul mates in order to win the cash prize. They all have find their sole mate it is such a strategy game which is why I love it! I could so help them win this game quicker because I have that mind set where I strive in these situations where you have numerous moving pieces but all you need is a plan. Of the players, I hate Shanley. I think she is only in this for herself but it is a team game. They need all 20 people to become pairs of 10 that are matches but she is hooking up with Chris who has already been deemed not her match. Stupidity.

So those have become some of my favorite shows this month. I hope you check them out!
Love y'all!

Sanity Sunday

Hey y'all!
It is officially a new week. We can make this week whatever we want whether we want it to be amazing where we pass all three of our test or awful and depressing where I don't study and fail them all. It is up to us to make this week the best we can!

In the Game of Life (the board game), you keep going, rolling the dice and moving spaces.
The same is for actual life except you are handed the pre-rolled dice and just keep moving. 
There is nothing forcing you to keep moving except for yourself. You have to keep moving forward
as is said in Meet the Robinsons!

I recently found this quote on Instagram which is one of the best places to find cute quotes likes this one. Pinterest is too but I prefer Instagram's app over Pinterest's app.

You can also find quotes like this one from Harry Potter! Which is also great
inspiration because in reality, we are all muggles and nobody is greater! As Dr. Seuss said something
along the lines of: no one is youer than you! So just be you and don't let anything they say hurt 
you because rubber and glue. If you don't know the saying, google it:)

My goal until next Sunday is to accept changes in life and be caught up on my Speech reading. I hate change which is pretty sad because I am by no means old and relating to some saying about how old people hate change. I don't know. I might as well be old for that aspect. I shall let you know how that goes.

Goo Luck and Love Y'all!!
