I'm ringing in the new year with a 12 year old.
I'm sick at home on the couch with my 12 year old sister. My brother is off with his girlfriend. My parents are off at an event. I had planned to be with my friends wearing this and these, instead I'm wearing these and an oversized frat shirt. This better not be a sign of how 2011 is going to be for me!

Confession 32
Somewhere I messed up in counting.
I know my last post was confession 30, but it was really confession 31.
I'm back on track now.

Confession 30
I'm going to live a very full life.
Today I went to visit my 95 year old great aunt. For being 95 she looks terrific! She has lived such a long full life. I fully intend to live a life just as full. I can't think of anything sadder than being old and knowing you had a boring empty life.

Confession 29
I'd rather wear pearls than diamonds.
Pearls are effortless and always classy. Sometimes diamonds just look like you're trying too hard. Diamonds are flashy "look at me" jewelry while pearls are simple and understated. Every girl over the age of 13 should own at least one pair of pearls.

Confession 28
I have been completely worthless this entire Christmas break.
I know I'm not alone in this. I'm fairly confident that a good 85% of college students have been the same way. I'm going to start being productive tomorrow, after I wake up and eat lunch.

Confession 26
I think red nail polish is tacky.
I will never, never, never wear red nail polish. The only exception to this rule is for tacky Christmas Sweater parties, redneck wedding swaps, or any other event that calls for one to look low class. I always wear pink or natural/french. The same goes for my toe nails.

Confession 25
I am completely 100% done with my Christmas shopping!
This is a big accomplishment considering I only really started about a week and a half ago. Since I finish school so early in December I wait until I'm back home and the semester is over before I really start to shop. I did cheat this year and ordered some things online when I should have been studying during finals week, but there is only so much time you can look at Spanish verbs before you want to cry. So anyway I'm completely done shopping and wrapping. Now I just get to wait for Christmas morning to arrive so I can open all my sure to be fabulous gifts, and I can see the happy looks on my family's faces when they open all their fabulous gifts from me!

Confession 24
I've left my phone off all day.
I was so tired of getting annoying texts from annoying people that I turned my phone off. I've enjoyed a simply lovely day of baking and watching movies with no annoying interruptions. The only thing that would have made today better would have been a good strong cocktail.

Confession 22
When I was little I wore Walmart clothes.
In-fact, my whole family shopped at Walmart. We had the money to shop at real stores, but my mom convinced us that spending more on clothes was pointless and silly. I thought something from JCPenny was fancy. Now I wouldn't be caught dead wearing real clothes from Walmart (things for swaps and other themed parties don't count).

Confession 21
Being nice is often harder than it seems.
Do you know anyone who is really annoying but doesn't realize it. I sure do. I have a friend who is annoying, but she has no idea. To make it worse she thinks she's helping. I can't be mean because she'd be very hurt. Ugh, sometimes its so annoying to be the nice person.

Confession 20
I hate diets.
Really I hate the big deal everyone makes when you go on a diet. I especially hate the big deal people make when you lose weight. I don't want people to comment on the fact that I weighed more before. I just want people to look at how hot I look now and be envious.

Confession 20
Leggings are pants.
You are required to wear them with a longish shirt (think tunic) and boots. You can not wear legging as pants with heels or flats, unless its with tennis shoes to the gym.

Confession 19
I've been home for a day and my room is a disaster.
I'm usually very particular about my room being clean, but when I've been coming home my room always seems to turn into a mess. My room at school is so neat and clean, my friends laugh and say I'm the only college student who dusts and swiffers every week. I can't really figure out why I allow my room to look this way at home; my best guess is that I feel like I'm on vacation.

Confession 18
For the first time in my life I'm considering hiding my report card.
Yes, I realize how 5th grade that sentence sounds. I have always made good grades in school without trying, but not this semester. For the first time in my life I've made more Cs than As. I'm absolutely terrified for my parents to find out. Its silly, but sometimes I still feel like that 10 year old little girl who wants her daddy's to be proud and brag about her good grades at work.

Confession 17
I've gotten completely overwhelmed by school this semester.
My grades are going to be far from great this semester. I've gotten in completely over my head with all my extra activities. This is finals week and I need some major prayers.

Confession 16
I love Kim Kardashian.
I think she is a positive body image model for girls. I love how she wouldn't let them airbrush her body in that photo shoot. For that one move she will forever be one of my favorite celebrities.
Anyone know where I can find a workout to get her butt?

Confession 15
I hate when my team doesn't win.
Every college football team I wanted to win this weekend lost. This is especially painful because it is rivalry weekend. If Auburn wins the national title I'm going to pretend like this football season never happened.

Confession 14
I've never had cheese and crackers until today.
I can't believe I've lived my entire life without this treat. I can't believe my mother never packed this in my lunch once. If you're like me and have somehow missed out on this treat you need to go try it, now. I had cheddar on a triscuit and it was delicious.

Confession 13
Elf is the best Christmas movie.
Really there is no competition. There is no other Christmas movie that comes close to being as good. I could watch Elf all year round and be happy. If you don't agree with me you need to go reevaluate your life.

Confession 12
Teachers who give homework over Thanksgiving break have no soul.
Do I really need to give an explanation? If you have experienced one of these teachers, you completely understand.

Confession 11
America being so overweight is a direct result of Thanksgiving.
It is not the best idea to invent an entire holiday that revolves around stuffing oneself with as much food as possible.
America's obesity is because of the pilgrims.

Confession 10
I still watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
I'm in college and I still look forward to it every year. I get really excited for Santa at the end, but I'd never admit it to anyone. To me it signals Christmas time is here.

Confession 9
I hate when the sheets on a bed aren't put on tight enough.
Nothing is more annoying than getting into bed to find that your sheets are bunchy. That's the most uncomfortable thing ever. I feel like they make sheets bigger than they use to because the sheets on my bed at school always seem to come undone.

Confession 8
I like the Backstreet Boys way more now than I did when they first came out.
The only time I ever listened to them the first time around was at the skating rink for birthday parities. I just didn't think they were that good. Now I love my pandora radio Backstreet Boys station.

Confession 7
I have no sympathy for trashy people.
There are many things in this world we don't have control over (brains, beauty, money, race) but something we have 100% control over is how classy we are. You decide to be trashy and for that I can not forgive you.

Confession 6
I have a broken heart.
A boy broke my heart years ago and I still haven't been able to put it back together. He made me believe he was the one and I trusted him completely. He broke my trust and I forgave him. He broke my heart and I forgave him. He broke my heart again. I hope I don't forgive him this time.

Confession 5
People who don't use their turning signals in cars are dumb
There is a reason the automobile industry continues to build cars with these. How difficult is it to use one? I mean its just a simple flip of the wrist.
If you don't use them you're not only dumb, you're lazy.
The same rules apply for changing lanes.

the dark
being fat and ugly

confession 3
I've thought about being anorexic before.
Like every girl my weight has always been a source of anxiety for me. I have forever been wanting to drop ten pounds. I'm ashamed to say the idea of developing an eating disorder has popped into my head more than once. I've always been rational enough to realize this would be the worst way to achieve my goal. I'm scared one day I won't be rational enough to talk myself out of it.

Confession 2
I feel sorry for ugly people.
I wouldn't call myself gorgeous, but I'm pretty darn far from ugly. Sometimes I just can't hate someone because I feel so sorry for them. I really don't know how some people go through life being so unfortunate looking. Surely these people realize they're just not pretty

This is not my first blog.
I made the mistake of allowing people to know I write my other blog, so I can not experience true freedom when I write. I first started writing because I wanted a way to express myself. This new blog will be that way.
