Have you Shared Some Kindness Today?

So this woman came in to work today from Columbia and ordered two coffees and a brownie which came up to 8 something. Well she tried to pay and her foreign card didn't work on our registers. She called her husband to go outside to their car and get a credit card. Well the lady behind her offered to pay for it so her husband didn't have to go out in the cold to go get it. The lady from Columbia argued for awhile with the other woman. She gave in and the other lady paid for her drinks and the other woman's drinks. Then she told the woman from Columbia that it was just a nice thing to do and that she was honored to give something to someone else. And no she wasn't a hippy or rich or something like that, she was in her late 30's early 40's and in jeans.It was just nice.
You don't get many people who just do nice things for each other anymore. I mean it's not like we have to pay for things for anything but just doing something nice. I mean karma isn't the only reason we should do generous acts. We should want to because we want to better mankind. That's why I love when people are just doing things because they know it's just a good thing to do. It makes the world a better place when we just stop and do something to make someone's day.

Love always,

Valentine's Day made me understand this it's not about the presents or the closeness [even though that is nice and everything] Being 400 and so miles away gives me a new appreciation of what I have. I not only have gotten closer to my sisters in college but me and Mike can see if we are gonna make it if he decides to do something overseas where I won't see him for awhile. But it does have it's drawbacks. I miss him alot while I'm here but it makes it so much better when I'm home. So I'm not bitter when I'm all alone here, I just think of I'll be just like this when I go home. :)

Valentine's Day 2010

So I'm not very happy with how this day will be this year. Not only am I over 400 miles away from my Valentine, but there are so many couples who are spending it right in front of me. I'm a little bitter in that I won't be able to see someone who loves me besides my sisters. Thank you Blizzard 2010 keeping me and my honey from being together this year. like he really cares, to him this is another pointless holiday in which he has to be overly romantic and spend money.
I guess I can suck it up and deal this year and next year being so far away and hope that next year I can be where I want to be.

Childish Greeks

So there was this party tonight at one of the guys from a national fraternities and it was in the middle of no where. I get this call at midnight from a friend asking me to come pick her up since she was uncomfortable with the drinking and upperclassmen hitting on her. I finally get her at like 1am and really pissed since one of my ex friends and her friends refused to leave the party just because she was only thinking of herself. She could have asked someone to take our friend back to campus and came back. If I hadn't been awake the poor girl would have been stranded there. When I confront her friend, she tells me it wasn't up to her to find the girl a ride home. Talk about selfish. it made me so angry. I mean how dare you invite the girl to come along and not give a shit if she makes it back to campus safely? Or if she felt uncomfortable? What kind of person does that make you? She uses people and then when she's done she dumps them aside. But I'm so much smarted than that. I've got a few years ahead of these bright eyed naive freshman.
It just shows how these young freshmen think. The other Greeks sometimes give the rest of us a bad name. They know who they are. Then they wonder why people accuse sororities and fraternities of binge drinking and wild out of control party.

They act as if partying is everything. I really feel sorry for them. What did you come o school for? Cause I know for damn sure I came to get an education. I drink sometimes but I have limits to when and who I drink with. It is so sad. But like I told my sister, they will just have to learn the hard way and I'll feel sorry for them when they do

Rice and Riblettes

So I haven't been on here lately due to illness and cleaning my new dorm room (yea!). How better to start off the New Year with something healthy, quick and tasty. So I've been an on and off vegetarian (vegetarian at college but when i get home McDonald's calls me) this is gonna stop. It's hard being a vegetarian in college and having no money for the mock foods. But I stocked up before I came back and had a really cool idea for a meal. So it's not original but most people don't really think of it.

Ingredients:
Morningstar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblets
Uncle Ben's 10 Minute Boil in Bag Rice

Since I live five floors from the kitchen I just use those plug in kettles to boil my rice. Then the microwave to heat up my riblets. When the riblets are done i put the rice in a bowl and then the riblets on top. If my can or beans or peas weren't outside in my car I would mix one of them too. It's really good, well i like it. :)
