Friday: Forward Progress

Now I know the title has nothing to do with any of the questions but it does have to do with the song of the week. Please check out the song of the week and comment below if you did and/or want to share if anyone in your life had passed away at a young age.
Onto the advice.

Allieloveslife Asked:
Did I eat healthy today? 
Breakfast- an egg.
Lunch- nothing
Snack- Apple and a little bit of white skinless chicken
Dinner . Chicken Salad with half a teaspoon of olive and a teaspoon of red wine vinigear. With 3 whole grain crackers.
Snack : half of an apple.

Dear Allieloveslife
No you didn't eat healthy today. Healthy doesn't mean eating less. Eating healthy means eating a good proportion of food throughout the day. An egg for breakfast is not enough to start your day. Skipping lunch is not a healthy thing to do. You did good with the apple and white skinless chicken but you really need to work on food for the start of your day. There's a reason why breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it's because its the fuel to start your day. Your body runs on calories throughout the day. If you don't have a certain amount your body will store any fat that it can find from the food you eat to help your body function properly. Start with fruit like an apple for your breakfast because it does make you full in the morning. In all honesty, that would have been better for you to have than an egg. Eat healthy, eat smart.

My Guys: Connor

I am a band geek. I was in the band all four years of high school and I made friends with the most incredible guys ever. Most of the guys I met in junior high.  One in particular has always had a part of my heart; his name is Connor.
Connor and I met in the 7th grade while in band. In the 8th grade my family ended up moving into his neighborhood and he lived up the street from me. Connor and I became really good friends; we do just about anything for each other and no matter how many times I've gone up to him and said "I hate you" there's always the "I love you" not too far behind it.
Connor isn't just a regular guy. Well to me at least he's not. He's my Spiderman (inside joke) and will always be.
He's the type of guy you'd want to take home to meet the parents. He's the kind of guy that is rare to have as a friend. He's a great listener and is always there for his friends. He's far from perfect.  Sometimes he doesn't seem to understand but he tries his best to see things in a different light.
I deal with a lot of different guys but Connor isn't the kind of guy I hang out with for months at a time and then stop. Connor and I can go months and months without talking, hanging out or whatever but we always fall back in each others' lives. He's part of what makes me beautiful.

Guy Advice: He Has A Girlfriend

Have you ever liked a guy but he had a girlfriend? It sucks right? But what if he's flirting with you and making you think you actually have a chance? That hurts the most. But what does that say about the guy? Shouldn't he at least do his best to be faithful to the girl he's dating?
Think about it. Why like a guy who has a girlfriend and flirts with you? Put yourself in the girlfriend's shoes, wouldn't be unfaithful to you?

My Inner Nerd

I have a lot of time during the day, so what do I do and why don't I blog sooner? Well I am actually very unproductive. I procrastinate like crazy and being a college student that is probably something I shouldn't be doing. At the beginning of the quarter, my business law class was arranged in different groups to work on presentations together for law cases, I am not going to go into that fun stuff but I did make a friend in my group and he is awesome. However, he got me to get into the TV series Merlin and I watch that most of my days when it could be better spent studying anatomy.

Friday: Worth It, Loving Back, Looking For Something More

Friday! I have a busy weekend ahead so let's get on with my weekly advice! :D

Aunoriasplace Asked:
Is waiting worth it?
I am dating a guy who is just wonderful. The thing is, I don't see him all that often. When I asked him out, I knew he was leaving my school to go to another. He had told his friends and I this before I asked him out months before. I haven't seen him in months. The thing is, his new school is way controlled and it's a bit like college, but when he gets home leave for a couple hrs, he txts me through a gmail account. Is this trouble worthwhile?

Dear Aunoriasplace
That depends if you think this guy is worth the trouble. You knew what you were getting into when you asked him out and he also knew what you two would be getting to as well.
Do you think he worth not always seeing him or talking to him as often as you would like?
I don't know if this guy is worth the trouble for you but it's something you should think about. Don't think about the problems think about this guy being worth it or not.

My Guys: Me in High School

As part of the "My Guys" series, I wanted to start with a little about me, and my own personality. I have worked hard on becoming who I am and I have learned a lot about myself when I was in high school and these guys that I will be writing about have helped me so much.
I have never been your typical girl. I didn't wear makeup in high school, I wasn't ever in style, I had one girl friend and a million boy friends, but despite all that I was known around my high school. Not for anything bad but for the friends I have or had in high school; we're still friends just not as close and that's what college can do for you. In junior high school I became friends with the most popular girl in school and her association made me popular and that popularity carried on through high school. I was part of the spotlight not only because of her but because of the guys as well. I hung out with guys who were athletes, the band geeks, the stoners and the skaters; I hung out with pretty much every clique in high school but only one was where I truly belong.
I am a band geek and I admit it with pride. Band is the hippest part of school. I take pride in being part of my high school band because I had an amazing band director and I made amazing friends. My guys are band geeks.

My Guys: Introduction

Have you ever had a guy do just about anything for you? Well I've had more than one guy do just about anything for me. I hate to say it but I am spoiled and not so much by my parents but by my friends, mostly by the guys in my life. I am not only grateful for my parents but I am also grateful for these guys in my life. They spoil me like crazy and I don't understand why because I am anything but sweet to them. I whine, I bitch and yell at them probably worse than their mother. For the past eight years I've been trying to figure it out why these guys put up with me because I'm not as awesome as I may seem but let's just talk about these boys because I love them all and those who read this blog need to understand what kind of guys I deal with, from the sweet nerd to the player, to the band geek to the music producer and everything in-between. So this is just a short introduction to my own "series" called My Guys, in which I will introduce my readers to different types of guys that I personally know and how they treat me and how I treat them.

Casual Day

Stop Comparing.

It seems to me that a lot of us compare ourselves to other girls and just become even more insecure about ourselves. We're not perfect, far from it and that girl you always compare yourself to, she may seem perfect or the girl you've always wanted to be but you only get to see her when she is "perfect" and believe me she's not perfect. She has insecurities and compares herself to her friends and family. She knows the negative being said about her even when its whispered behind her back.
We already look in the mirror and judge ourselves; what we like, what we don't like about our own body image why do we have to use other people as mirrors and point of what we don't like about ourselves even more.
As a girl who has been compared to my cousins and my two best friends, I know that it can be hard to start believing in yourself but you have to stop comparing yourself to other girls whether they be your peers, family members or famous celebrity, the comparing has to stop. You have every right to be happy with yourself. You have every right to be who you want to be. Be positive and stay positive about yourself for yourself.

Friday: Not Asking You Out, Deal with The Cold, Falling for A Certain Type

Another Friday filled with advice from me. Enjoy :)

PenguinSusieQ Asked
I like this boy but he won't ask me out. 
I like this boy for a while and he likes me too and we both want to go out with each other. But the problem is is that he hasn't asked me out and its been a while. What do I do???

Dear PenguinSusieQ
Why don't you ask him out? I mean if you both like each other does it matter who asks out who first? Go on a date or if you're not comfortable asking him out on a date then ask him to hang out it'll be like dipping your feet in the water instead of diving right in.
Have some one on one time together.

Outfit of The Day

So here's an outfit that I wore, not the exact outfit but something very similar. The sweater dress is similar to one that I do have just instead of the tan color mine is gray and black. By the way I totally had a guy walk up to me and say "How you doin'?" Highlight of my day proves that you can still look hot and still be covered up.

Midterms!

I don't think I've had to study this much for my midterm. Business Law kicks my butt more than aerobic walking.
So how do I study for my midterm on Friday? I go over my notes, I read through the chapters and I make myself flashcards. Will that help? I don't know yet but I'm hoping.

1. Know the concepts, the vocabulary words, any equations, and make sure you can solve or create examples. 
2. Study with another person in the class that way they can help you and you can help them
3. Reread 
4. Create a study guide or ask your teacher for a study guide
5. Ask questions if you're still not understanding. There are no stupid questions when you are trying to learn. If you don't feel comfortable asking in class then ask before or after class or e-mail the teacher

I wrote this mainly for myself but if this has helped you then awesome!

Beautiful For Me

Today I woke up 20 minutes after I was suppose to and I had no idea what to wear. So I threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I did my makeup and put my hair in a ponytail. I got to school in hopes that I would be getting cookies from a friend but he woke up late so he didn't bring them. He texted me while we were in class that he was so sorry and that he'll have the cookies tomorrow. At the end of the text he said that I looked beautiful today. I think that made my day even though I didn't get my chocolate chip cookies I was looking forward for the past two days; I got a compliment and the best part of it, I was being beautiful for me. I did my makeup for me, I dressed lazy and yet I was still told that I looked beautiful.
It's important for me to dress the way I feel and look the way I want to look. And you know what I do, I dress the way I feel and look the way I want to look. I do my makeup or I don't do my makeup. I wear what I want to wear. I do my hair the way I want to. I'm beautiful for me.

How to Balance Friends and Relationship

It seems to me when in a relationship we forget that we have friends who need our attention and if you're one of the lucky ones who can balance your friends with your boyfriend or girl then good for you; you have mastered a hard part of friendships and relationships. But to those of you who are having a hard time balancing your friends with your significant other then I have some advice for you.

1. It's important to make time for your friends so plan something with just them 
2. Bring your boyfriend or girlfriend on some hang outs with your friends but not all 
3. Don't forget he or she is also trying to balance you and his friends so when he or she is with them hang out with your friends
4. If you have lunch together make sure you at least take some time apart from each other to say hi to other friends 
5. Balance and time management is very important. 

Those are just some simple tips or advice. Remember you're young and boyfriends or girlfriends may come and go but your friends will always try their best to be there for you.

Friday: Homecoming, Stress, Guy Friends

This was a really sad Friday. I would just like to say I love you Uncle Roger and you will be missed. RIP

MCG0096 Asked:

First time to homecoming and I've worn heels! Help?

Homecoming is in a week and I just got my dress but I never worn heels in my life before. I asked my friend and she said to walk around in them around the house but i only have a week! Is that really going to help me or should i just go with flats?<--If i do with flats won't that kinda be awkward?

Dear MCG0096

Walking around the house will be a little helpful but you don't have to wear heals to homecoming. You can wear some cute flats if you prefer because in the middle of homecoming those heels are going to kill you. And I don't know about your high school but when I went there were a lot of girls who took their heels off and dance bare footed or had an extra pair of flats.

Short and Not So Sweet.

I just want to make this quick because it's been a long day. As part of the one year death anniversary of two people I would like to post a haiku I wrote almost a year ago in the memory of D. Topps' death.

Life just beginning

It ended with just one shot

Never forgotten

September Favorites!

Before I begin I just want to say a little bit about the month of October. This month will be a very emotional month. A year ago during this time month two people I knew passed away. One was shot and one was hit by a car. So during this month for Song of The Week I will post songs for them every Friday leading up to a very special rap that was written by a good friend of the guy who was shot. Now onto a lighter subject, my September Favorites!

Part of My Life: My Mom

In all honesty, my mom is truly my best friend and I can sincerely say that I don't know what I would do without her. My mom has taught me a lot in my 21 years and I love her for it. She helped me be confident in myself, figure out that guys aren't everything and that no matter how old I get, I'll always want my mom to take care of me when I can't take care of myself.
