Kaylee and I

Paige, me,Kayla and Kayla's friend. ( Character from Harry Potter, Cinderalla, Nemo, and a Nerd)

Halloween is a time where everyone gets to dress up! The past couple of years I didn't get to really dress up. This year was different. I decided to be Cinderalla, a somewhat sexy one. Last night I went to an awesome Halloween Party, it got busted at like 2am or around there, but I had so much. There were some awesome. costumes, my friend CaLynn was a louffa, a group of my guy friends were The Beatles, two of my guy friends were Pregant Nuns, there was a cookie monster ( 2 actually one in an actually cookie monster and a sexy verison). There were a few people at the party that didn't dress up, those people are lame and don't know how to have fun.  I hope you like the pictures I post, throughout the weekend I'll be posting more.

Struggling in Life

It's Thursday, one day before the weekend begins. For me, Thursday's is a hard day for me. One, I have to get up at 6 am to get ready for school, two I have to sit in rush hour traffic to get to school, and three it's the end of the week and all I want to do is have fun & relax but I know I have school work to do. I really struggle to stay focused on what needs to get done. But lately I realized, this isn't' just happening on Thursday's, I've been struggling to stay focus on school and everything since I started my new classes back in September. Every week, I try to get re-focused and get things done but I can't seem to. I get my homework done but at the last minute right before class. I don't get any of my reading done. I say I am gonna do laundry, but I keep putting it off until I have a tons of it to do and nothing to wear, same with the dishes, I don't do them until I don't have any left to use. ( You are probably thinking they sit in my sink but they sit in the dishwasher) I tell myself, I need to go to the gym but I never do. So what do I do when I just can't focus and I feel like I am struggling so much to keep pushing onwards? If anyone has some advice to give me, I would love to hear it!

I looked up some inspiring quotes for myself, and also for those that may also be struggling in life....

* What a great feeling to look back on what you've already climbed.


*Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. -Joshua J. Marine


*Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.

*Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.- John Heywood


*Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure.. than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt

Single VS Being in a Relationship

I have been single since the end of July. Back in high school it would have bugged me being single because then I always wanted a boyfriend. Right now, I don't mind being single. I like being on my own most of the time. Then again, I wouldn't mind being in a relationship, as long as it was a good and healthy one. I believe there is advantages and disadvantages to being single, and vice versa with being in a relationship.

Single

Advantages:

More time for yourself.

More time for your friends.

More time for your family.

Free to do what you want, when you want.

Can talk to whoever you please.

Flirt with a guy if you please, with out

someone getting mad at you.

Disadvantages:

No one to cuddle with.

No one to have date night with.

Your friends that do have a significant other does a lot of things

with them instead of you.

Can't double date with your best friend and their significant other.

NO Sex....

Being in a relationship

Advantages:

Someone to spend your time with.

Someone to have date night with.

Sleepovers

Can double date with your best friend and their

significant other.

Sex

Disadvantages:

Less time with friends, and family.

Less alone time for yourself.

Depending on your significant other, can't talk to whoever

like a friend of the opposite sex.

Sometimes can't do what you want.

Every one is different and prefers different things. Some people don't want a relationship and prefer to be alone. Then on the other hand some people like to have a significant other. To me, it doesn't matter, I do better on my own but having someone is always nice too.

A friend is, A friend isn't...

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

A FRIEND IS....

Respectful

Caring,

Uplifing,

Inspiring,
Encouraging,
Helps you grow,
Loves you for who you are,
Always there for you,
,Understanding,
Listens to you.

A FRIEND DOES NOT....

Put you down,
Acts disrespectful towards you,
Say mean things to you,
Try to change you,
Say things that they know will offend you.. Espically regarding your beliefs,
Shut you out,
Ignore you

A friend supports you , A friend lets you be friends with whoever regardless of their opinion, A friend backs you up, A friend is honest with you.

A friend does not tell you that you are fat; if they ask, there is a nice way to put things, A friend doesn't try to blame everything on you when you try to confort them about issues, A friend does not talk behind your back.

If someone you consider a friend is not treating you right, confort them, do not let them get away with it.

Sometimes a "friend" crosses a certin line, and enough is enough, you need to tell them that if they are going to treat you badly, then you can't be friends. It may be hurt to lose a friend, but you deserve a friend that is going to treat you well and with respect.

And alway remember treat others how you would like to be treated in return.

Much Love,
Ash

Do what you love!

" To love what you do and feel that it matters- How could anything be more fun?" - Catharine Graham

I say, everyone should do what they love, regardless of other's opinions. As long as it matters to you and makes you happy, do it. I love fashion!, that is way I' am going to the Art Institute, for Fashion Marketing. I can honestly say that I like going to school now, because I am doing something that matters to me and makes me happy. Other's may not understand why I am spending a ton of money on going to an Art School, but in my own opinion being at art school is right for me. It gives me a chance to be creative with my ideas and inspiration. It gives me a chance to turn those ideas and inspiration into a career for myself. I have so much fun at this school, learning is fun here ( most of the time).

What do you love? If you love it, it matters!

Much Love,
Ash
