Bloging Gets-em!

Hey!
So taking a study break..which I shouldnt be..

Ive recently looked at what blogs are viewed the most...
Ive found that the juicy ones with drama, and ugly stories seem to be more entertaining to readers. Some of the more popular ones are Roommates, The Good and the Bad and Want a few crazy work stories? have caught alot of attention. Since this is what seems to be the best, I will give you more of what I have. Recently Ive been going away from my G rated blogs about classes, and combo exchanges, to more extreme college stories such as how much a crazy batmizvah party may cost you, or how to make sure you dont end up with a terrible roommate story. Now, things wont get out of hand AT ALL...but the stories might be a little more enjoyable and less studious, which will be good for the summer!

To start off this new blog idea I have, on May 7th (when school is out!) I will be posting a blog about what I learned in college. The blog will be getting a fresh new theme as well. I cant wait to share this with all of you! Hope you enjoy!

Finals are Coming! Tips and such!

Hello!
While on College Candy today, I found a helpful site for finals!
It helps you organize and restrict you from those pesky sites that distract you when you're trying to study!
I am attaching the link so that you are free to read the article, click the definitions, and see for yourself if youd like to use them or not.
I downloaded RescueTime and am tracking how much productive/wasteful time im spending on the internet everyday!
The blocking sites will be soon be added to my computer in time, because my exams are next week!!!
Facebook is a huge distraction for me! I also find myself blogging when I really dont want to study...stumble upon is also a weakness...as you can see, I will be restricted for a bit!
Im looking at KeepMeOut this weekend. This will let me check sites that i choose, ex. Facebook, once (or however many times I decide) in an hour. If i try to go back to it, KeepMeOut will show up, saying I can go on Facebook in 58 mins...
Alot of students make their roommates change their facebook password during finals week so that they cant go on...this might be a better choice then giving away you password lol

Here is the site! I hope at least one of them helps you and your grades!

Pet Sitting Pay..

SUP!
So let me run you through this...
I pet sat for the last week, 2 dogs and a cat.
I had to spend from 5pm-7am every night at the house. I had to sleep with the 2 dogs, one HAD to be under the blankets with me.
It was about 20 mins from campus, so I had to get gas 2 different times, totaling to $35.
I got paid $120.
NOW! this couple is not together, not a family, not married..per say. So they each paid me separately when it comes down to it.
So, that means they paid me each $60 for 7 days of watching their babies...I say babies because the animals sleep in bed...
$60/7=$8.75 a Day, per person.
That is without ever paying me back for the gas money...so lets try this again..
$120-$35 (gas money)=$85
$85/2(people)=$42.5 per person, for one week
$42.5/7=$6.02 a day, per person.
I also lost a crazy amount of sleep from this job...


I was SEVERELY underpaid for this whole ordeal.
I AM PISSED.

Roommates, The Good and the Bad

Okay, so the last blog got a lot of views, and I received mucho comments from friends who read it, saying they thought it was super interesting. Hopefully everyone enjoys this next one...Roommates, the good and the bad.
This is MY view on the whole situation. Experiences that happened to me, OR MY FRIENDS, in the last year. It includes some good and bad stories. Hope you all enjoy! (granted Ive heard more horror stories than success stories!)
Also, enjoy the cheesy pictures... :)

The Bad (some are pretty...at all).
1. When you go to your favorite Frat house, and all the boys call your roommate a slut. You defend her, even though youre thinking the same thoughts.
2. When your roommate comes home with a condom stuck in her from the night before, and decides shes not going to try and get it out.
3. When your rommate cries about being a slut...and all you can say is sorry.
4. When your roommate acts like you dont exists.
5. When your roommate hooks up with a guy right next to you....and you hooked up with that guy a month ago.
6. When your roommate feels they don't have to take out the trash...ever.
7. When your roommate takes your boyfriends side, instead of yours.
8. When your roommate smokes and you've clearly said you don't like it. It makes all of your clothes stinky!
9. When your roommate obsesses about her weight, when shes perfectly fine...maybe if you set down that alcoholic beverage you'd lose a pound or two.
10. When your roommate locks you out of the room.
11. When your roommate has that huge exam tomorrow to study for and you don't! Instead of going to a study lounge, they stay in the room and keep the light on, while you're trying to sleep!
12. When your roommate gets a bruise on the back of her throat from...well.... And she cant eat for a week.
13. Being afraid to admit to your roommate that you DO in fact Party on the weekends...
14. When your roommate wants to join a sorority only to get "safe rides" home at night...not to meet "life long friends"




The Good.
1. When your roommate goes to bed every night at 11pm...so you do too. (from this I stopped sleep walking, talking, and snoring completely. It made my whole sleeping pattern and habits change for the better!)
2. When you learn more then just how to party from your roommate! You learn educational information, and you learn about who YOU are as a person.
3. When your roommate asks for you to room with her again next year.
4. The special bond that you get with your roommate that no one else in your hall... or even on campus has.
5. When your roommate thinks that you are a completely innocent person...until you come home with that hicky....
6. When you can watch seasons, and episodes of old and new tv shows together...example: Ghost Hunters, RAW, and Whos line is it anyways?
7. The moment you become facebook friends and start commenting on each others stuff, even if youre sitting 5 feet away from them in the room.
6. When your roommate goes home every weekend....and the weekend she does stay in the dorm with you, you have a BLAST!
7. When your roommate takes care of you when you're sick!
8. When your roommate and her mom make you something...My roommate and her mom made me a scarf!! Its amazing!
9. When your roommates parents bring food for the both of you back!
10. Your roommate listens to your most crazy stories...and then will listen to you when you most need it, the sad times.
11. When you and your roommate rearrange the room so that your items arent so divided.

Want a few crazy work stories?

This post is dedicated to a few crazy stories from work. Im a supervisor at a caf on campus, called the Gallery. This last semester was crazy, and Id like to share 2 great stories with all the readers.

1. OOPS! Someone spilled yogurt on the floor! Gotta go clean it up. So I grab the mop and a Level one follows behind me. Her name is *Sarah*. Now sarah is kind of an awkward girl...kind of strange. But I let her entertain me anyways while I mop up this mess. I dont know what I was even saying, but apparently I said the word "Retarded". I mustve said "yeah thats retarded" or "wow this is retarded" or idk! I dont even remember what Sarah and I were talking about at the time. All of a sudden I get a smack on the head. Not a nice love tap, nor a harsh slap either. But enough to make be be like WTF??? This was not in a corner either. It was pretty open for every customer to see. I was like "what was that for" and Sarah was like "Just because your a supervisor doesnt mean you get better treatment than anyone else who says that!".."says what????"..."retarded"
So I got hit in the head for saying retarded. I apologized of course, because I clearly didnt mean to offend her.
YOU DONT HIT SOMEONE. Im pretty sure we learn this in Kindergarten. Dont hit. and I would never ever think of hitting someone, especially if they were above me in the work place. Just because something offends you doesnt mean you HIT them. You dont get violent.
So I go to my Supervisor (not my manager) and tell him the story. He looks at me and says "Well you probably offended her."
YES!!! IM SURE I DID!
He didnt do anything. He thought it was fine. So not only did I get a Level 1 hitting me in front of the cafeteria, my supervisor didnt back me up at all making me feel super stupid.


2. A usual dinner shift was taking place: Many people were entering the caf., my ex had his shifty eyes a'movin, and supervisors were staying real busy. Soon enough, the supervisors and others working in stations noticed a guy walking around and flirting with girls. He was flirting with workers and customers. He had asked my girlfriend, *Cassie* (working with me at the time) if shed like to sit with him and talk, and that she was really beautiful, and if she had a boyfriend. Cassie was so creeped out she said to his face "youre making me uncomfortable". He was there for about an hour and probably talked to about 30 girls. He would follow them, and try to get with them. It was way more creepy than it sounds. He was making everyone super uncomfortable. All of the workers kept their eyes on him the whole time he was there, to make sure nothing extreme happened.
Eventually a girl working at a front desk in the building called the police.
They arrived and escorted him out.
Turns out the cops had been looking for this guy for 3 days!!!! Apparently he had been creeping around the area and freaking many girls out, enough to make several reports on the guy!!!
He didnt even go to Michigan State! Just creepin round campus!
Be safe everyone. Carry pepper spray..and if you dont have that, hairspray works just fine. Ever got hairspray in your eye?? ...yeah not pretty. Works just as well.
Its hard though. When you get to college you become more social, and talk to strangers more and get to know people. Just be on the lookout for creeperssss!!!


**Name Changed.



Oh gosh! If only there was enough room to write all of my stories from working at Wendys for 2 years. now THOSE are some quality stories to tell!!!!!!!

ugh

SOOOO
Promised Id post the day after..butttt..my pictures arent showing up when I send them to my computer. How annoying? So Im trying to figure that out still.

This dog sitting business is just taking up so much time. This whole week Im staying at this house. I sleep here every night. Food is an issue...I need to buy some from this house. Hopefully my combo exchanges will help!
These dogs are super hyper. They love to jump all over the place. and they shed like crazy. Im actually sitting with them right now. i need to leave soon though so i can have a productive day outside of this house!

While going through a book of questions with a friend last night, we came across one that said "do you live like tomorrow is your last day?"
Our answer: I live like the day after tomorrow is my last day.

Since I cant offer any photos to you yet, maybe this will make up for it...eh. its worth a try!
