Done forever

I will be graduating college on Friday. I am the first person in my family to gradute from college so my family is making a big deal about it which is mildly annoying. My older sister told me she cant come because she has to work but I think she doesnt want to come because I followed through with my plan to graduate and she did not. Regardless I am graduating and I am ready to be done with Nebraska.

Stress, stress, and more stress

Let me first start by saying I have become obsessed. My hands get sweaty when I am around it, my heart starts racing, and my face turns red. I am constantly thinking about it and therefore freaking out and wondering what it could possibly be doing now.
"It" refers to my grades, the last grades I will ever receive in my entire life. I have never been one that gets really nervous when grades are beginning to be posted but my mind has taken over my body and all I do is check my blackboard and subsequently recalculate my gpa. I am pathetic.

Oh and finals week stress is still kicking my butt.

Movies

So this semester I have seen more movies that I have in any other semester in my life. My boyfriend likes to watch them I guess so he thinks it is a good past time. Well this semester I have seen Confessions of a Shopaholic, Marley and Me, Slumdog Millionaire, State of Play, Taken, and some other movie with Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe (cant remember the name I wasn't into watching a movie at all that night). Anyway so I am all movied out but I thought I would look back and see if any of them were actually worth it.
So far I would say Slumdog Millionaire was totally worth it. The movie had a lot going on and knowing the background of it made me want to see it.
State of Play. Interesting since I am kind of into journalism (I hate writing news stories however). Political thriller not too bad.
But the best one was Taken. I was dragged along to the movie with my boyfriend and one of his best friends as well as one of mine (yes HE had a genius idea that they should date, I bet you can guess how that turned out), but anyway it was soo good. The previews didn't even begin to tell you what was going to happen in that movie. Definitely one to see this year.

Dead Week

So I hear it every year and I dread the week before finals no matter how much I have going on because it sucks every time. I am in my last semester at UNK and ready to get out of here and have a little break before I find a job. Dead week is kicking my butt this year. It is called dead week because it is supposed to be a little break before finals week, at least that is what the rumor is every year. Well turns out the only thing about the week that can be proven is that teachers are not allowed to assign any new week that wasn't on the syllabus since the beginning of the semester. So generally what I get out of dead week is the fact that all projects, papers, stories, and anything possible is due this week. Thats cool if my major wasnt communications and therefore all I do it projects, papers, and stories. I have one test during finals week....ONE. But I have a million and one things to do this week. AHHHHHH I needed that little venting session, much appreciated and I'm sure any student would agree Dead Week=Hell Week.

Daisy of Love premiered tonight and one of my favorite reality shows of the moment is Tough Love. I am a sucker for trashy reality television like I Love New York and Rock of Love. But I miss my favorite the Girls Next Door with Holly, Bridget, and Kendra who were all dating Hugh Hefner. It was such a good show and I loved it but it ended horribly. Not one of the girls is dating him anymore and Holly last I knew was dating Criss Angel, Bridget is dating a movie producer, and Kendra is engaged to a sports player. It is depressing and the final episode was so sad but Tough Love is beginning to fill that void I had with Girls Next Door.



Tough Love is hilarious. Pretty much the show is women with different relationship problems are given some tough love from a match maker (and he is super hot fyi). But anyway it is good so check it out sometime, on VH1.

Rule the World


As I sit here still jobless and graduating in May I began to think of all my college friends that don't have jobs as well. So then I began thinking that we could pretty much live on an island and rule it. With all the people that we know in our lives that have different skills you could run a business, a town, or even an island. As I have said before I went to Chicago and our morning routine began with a trip down the block to the Corner Bakery to start planning the days activity. Every since I left I have been wanting Corner Bakery breakfast bad, so then I started thinking of my college friends and all I am missing in the equation is the rich friend who can afford to take over the Starbucks and franchise it into the Corner Bakery this town needs. I would have an HR person, managers, PR person, and a lot of people to be the waitstaff. I think it is legit and it would feed my craving, and need for a job :)
