2014 Resolutions/Goals

So I'm not a super "New Years Resolutions" type of person... but right now I'm kind of growing up and I feel like I need a set of goals and I'll feel better once I accomplish them.

First off I'm graduating in May... thats a resolution. I guess its kind of a regular resolution, something I know will be accomplished, but still thats like an automatic check off of my list and I think I need that.

I also need a job and I'm hoping to get one in my field. I would love to get a job writing something. I know its hard, I know English Majors never get jobs unless they go into teaching... I know. But I'm not a teacher, I'm a writer and I think I can write. I don't know how, or where. If you need a writer for some reason, I'm here but yeah. I need a job of some sort.

I have a book idea that I'm working on too. I haven't started writing it yet, but its going to be really funny and cute and just a nice read. Its holiday themed, so that is something. Idk what the publishing will be like or anything, but I want to have it written at least by next Christmas, if not before. I don't want to rush it or anything.

And I want to loose some weight and start eating better. I'm going to try not to snack at all during the week. I'm going to cut back on soda, which I say all the time but I'm really going to do it this year. I'm gonna go to the gym with my dad. I'm going to look better around graduation.

And for right now, I'm going to keep up with this blog because I like it. I like posting something every day and writing something every day... but that isn't really my goal for this year. I feel like having it as my goal last year made me stress a little more over posting and making sure things were out there... and this year I just want to blog because I want to blog and I feel like I'll do it way more that way. Plus I feel like I'm being more honest and I'm just taking things in a different direction right now. So who knows, I may post every day, I may post like 3 times a week... but I will try to have as much as I can here.

Byee! Hope you are having a good 2015!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
