I watched part of the Rosa Parks memorial service tonight on CSPAN and something occurred to me. Too many people, including myself, take for granted the importance of Rosa Parks and her actions the day she refused to give up her seat on a bus all those years ago. Maybe it's because the wave of change that emanated from her actions did not directly ( Read more... )

Have you ever thought you were somewhat intellectual then try reading a naturalist book and realize you're not? Well, I know I'm not a dumbass but I'm starting to realize how terribly lacking my philosophy skills are. I feel like I should tackle writing and philosophy classes because those are the only ones I'm truly scared of here at MSU (besides ( Read more... )

There is such shitty weather outside today. It's cold(about 5 to 7 degrees above freezing), rainy, and pretty windy which isn't condusive to attending class. But, I trudge through it anyway. I went to bed at a decent hour last night and got up when I usually do for my 8:30 which gave me enough time to make a gorgeous muchroom omlet and a bowl of ( Read more... )

My latest revelation as to where I should take myself is quite interesting indeed. First a little back ground. I'm beginning to realize why I got to upset after the breakup. I know you're thinking, "well of course you're supposed to get upset" but notice I said why. The fact that for the first time in my life someone was completely devoted to ( Read more... )

Don't get me wrong, I love fall but the actual christmas season is possibly the best holiday season of the year, aside from my birthday of course. Anyways, I've been keeping busy with exams this week, and by busy I mean library studying from 4:00-9:00pm last night followed by more studying in the apt till 2:00am. Oh yeah, and I studied the day ( Read more... )

Things are slowly but surely getting better. Every minute that goes by I become more and more rational...which doesn't make sense because I wasn't always so rational before. Anyways, I've decided any stress intervention should involve the stressee signing a waiver that permits the people running the intervention to come and take that person ( Read more... )

Well, things have gotten better the past few days. Realizing how many friends I have and how much they care for me has really done it. Even the people I barely know are willing to lend an ear which means the world to me. I wanted to stay home this whole weekend but I'm definitely glad I came back to campus. Last night I went over to Katie Chinn/ ( Read more... )

I think I've found the words to describe how I feel ( Read more... )

Just when life seemed to be perfect it all came crumbling down in an instant. I can't describe the pain in words but I know I'm not the only one to have experienced it. I hope things get better soon because I can't do anything but be reminded of whats gone. Time heals everything right?

I saw Rufus Wainwright last night at the Wharton Center and it was amazing!!! I don't think I've been to a better concert, ever. It probably helped that I had 3rd row seats and I could basically touch him but still. He is so much better live than on CD. Too many bands just suck so bad live, stage presence and energy isn't enough. When your voice ( Read more... )
