As promised, here is my “I like it : You hate it” post.
I didn’t realize how MIA I had been this past week until I actually signed into this here blog. I missed it. This week has been very busy to say the least. I was put on a social media analysis project, while in the middle of two formal interviews that lasted 1.5/2 hours each, then a final interview and a whole hell of a lotta stressing. (Sorry mom, but I had to.) My friends {{YES, I HAVE MADE FRIENDS!}} took me out on Thursday and Friday to “get my mind off things.” And by get my mind off things, they meant half priced wine night at some sushi place that I have never heard of. Let’s just say half price wine night did the trick, but it also kept me up until 5am and work on Friday was well, just peachy y’all.
Without further adieu.
1. ABC Family- I am addicted to their silly little shows that I just CANNOT stop watching. Pretty Little Liars is a show I am sure many girls enjoy, but my dirty little secret is Make it or Break it. I love that show. Seriously, love it. I don’t know why though, you can tell that when they actually do the gymnastics they get actual gymnasts… so why didn’t they just cast the actual gymnasts? Lauren Tanner… I love to hate her. Seriously. Let’s please look more like a mouse and sound like one too, but I love you… and then I hate you. If we are being honest, I was actually worried you weren’t going to make the fake ABC Family Olympic Team. Also, ABC Family you have all of these “Original Movies,” that you put out… AND I PUT THE RELEASE DATES IN MY PLANNER. Oh, my, gosh, I am giving away all of my secrets. The acting… it is just atrocious, and I just can’t even get past it… but I can’t.stop.watching. {{I also put the entire 25 days of Christmas schedule in my planner.}} I have serious issues when it comes to ABC Family.
2. Country Music- It has seemed that every boy I have dated, and the majority of my college friends hated country music, and then they hung out with me. It is like it is my life’s mission to turn people into country music lovers. Last summer when I was head guard at Salem Glen I would turn the radio on country every single time I was in charge of the pool. Oh, you want to complain about having to listen to country music? Let me just tell you if I have to hear Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain” one more time I am going to fling myself into that pool and you will no longer have a lifeguard. Seriously, one day I heard that blasted song EIGHT TIMES in one shift. 107.5 KZL stop putting your music on repeat and get some freaking variety. I am also hesitant when guys ask what my favorite type of music is. Oh, you like country? You must really be a redneck and have no class. Let me go grab my mom’s old overalls she just handed down to me real quick, brb.
3. Writing Papers- Now this is probably the first one that has the most hate consensus. I just really like to write papers. (on topics that I am interested in, or if it is a challenging prompt.) I am not really into the whole write ten pages on the prose of American Literature in the 1800′s. Whatever. Those types of papers are where you learn just how great of a BS’er you can be. Some of my favorite nights at NC State were perched on the ninth floor of the bookstacks, pulling an all nighter, savoring the McDonald’s Mocha I just forced myself out to go get, blasting country music (and/or Justin Bieber) into my ears, hoping and praying that I would stay awake and live through this night. Maybe I wouldn’t have had to pull all nighters if I actually DID the work before hand, but when you take 18 hours of PR and Journalism classes you tend to be down to the wire on papers… a lot. All hail the procrastinators, and the fact that college taught me to crank out a 5 page paper in thirty minutes and still make Deans List.
4. Justin Bieber- I didn’t even plan how perfect of a transition that one was. But really, I love JB. I follow him on Twitter, but I am not one of those teeny-boppers that beg for an RT or a follow back. I am kind of really excited that his new album comes out on June 19th. My cousin Beth and I are going to have a skype session dance party to Believe. (that is the title of the album) I even have poster in my room in Winston-Salem, and a poster in my room in DC. My little brother got me the poster as a joke for my college graduation… little did he know just how much I would love it, and that I was going to actually hang it up in my room. PS I am going to his concert in DC… who’s coming with me?
5. NC State- I am not saying that you are hating the best ACC school in North Carolina, but most of you I am sure are indifferent to my little slice of brick heaven or you just don’t care at all. The people in DC get it confused with the Tar Holes frequently, which at first I was confused about. You live in Washington D.C, just a stones throw away from VT and UVA and you don’t know who the school is that is in your same conference? Then I realized absolutely nobody who lives in DC is from DC. Where you are you from? “Arlington.” No, no, no, where are you from Originally? “Oh, Winston-Salem, you know Wake Forest?” No. “Birthplace of Krispy Kreme?!” I LOVE YOU GUYS! Insert heavy eye roll. Back to NCSU. You can love us, you can hate us, you can be indifferent to us, or not even know who we are, but we are the Wolfpack and we are ranked #1 preseason in the ACC for the upcoming basketball season. You might not know us now, but you will.
6. Tequila- I don’t really have an explanation for this one. I am just one of those.
7. Monogramming everything- If you don’t like monogramming, you just don’t get it. There are times, when I am coming down to a decision about buying something, the decision is made on whether or not I can monogram it. I even have a monogrammed Market Tote for my dog. Bags, many bags, hats, earrings, cars, iPhone cases, market totes, rings, Tervis Tumblers necklaces… everything. I even have a monogrammed Market Tote for my dog. Your judging eyes are full well accepted on this one.
8. Peeling sunburnt skin- As you are gagging and/or throwing up in your mouth, I will go ahead and tell you I love popping zits/blackheads too. This trait was inherited by my mother. I’m not even going to go into explanation because I am sure many of you would rather have a visit from Chucky the doll than hear me talk about this.
I feel like this is an acceptable stopping point. I do have an announcement though! This hear bloggy, blog might be receiving a pretty decent uplift here in the next week or two. It is dependent on how something works out. Just wanted to give a heads up if in a few days you come over my piece of the internet and see something a little different!
