Life Here Is Better Than It's Ever Been
I've been so busy lately that I can't even fulfill my promise to blog often. From establishing a well-needed relationship with my grandmother, working, deciding on a school, filling out paperwork, and everything else that falls in between, it's hard for me to find the time to even blog. & even through me being so busy that sometimes it feels like death, I'm still happy with where I'm at for the most part.

Monday Blues; Or Not
Hm, so today I gave my boss my proposal for the fall semester. It was unexpected though. I honestly was not planning on telling her until the day before school started that I would not be here for 2 full days out of the week. Lol. Anyway, things turned out better than I presumed they would. She actually took it well, and approved it with no problem.
In addition to that, the fact that ugly girls want me and can't have me makes me smile. Today, someone asked me "who I was signed with?" I looked puzzled and said, "excuse me?" She replies, "I wanted to know which modeling agency you were with." I still continued to play clueless, even though at this point I knew exactly what she was attempting to do. Lmao. If she happens to find my blog, thanks, sweetthing.
On top of THAT, my day at work is going by exceptionally fast. Although I'm extremely short staffed, I'm still not stressed. I do hope that the remainder of my day goes as well as the earlier half.

From My Perspective
So, someone asked me to create a blog abiding by the topic: How the view of things from a college athlete differentiate from that of a normal college student. (Assuming that I understood the request correctly).
My response to that...
I think that the view of things from a college athlete do, in fact differ from that of a traditional college student. It adds another hurdle-so to speak to overcome. In addition to taking full time classes, working for one of the top 50 travel companies in the U.S., balancing healthy friendships, and family relationships, and completing all given assignments while maintaining a nearly perfect GPA, we still put in those long hours as an athlete.
In order to be a successful athlete, it takes hours of practice. I'm sure everyone who reads my blog is familiar with the phrase practice makes perfect. While it may not make perfection, it definitely increases the performance. I can't tell you how many hours a week I prepare (during season, and off season) in order to assure I have what it takes to compete at the college level. Ranking 1st 2nd or 3rd in all my races, I can walk away confident knowing that I did what I had to do.
The fact that I can perform greatly while managing other tasks just shows that I have more strength, determination, and will to succeed. Making sure that I'm not better at my sports, than my studies or vis versa is difficult, so don't underestimate an athlete.
Which brings me to another point- What is with teachers saying "Athlete's think they are better than everyone else because they play a sport. They deserve no extra recognition." If that isn't the most foolish thing I've ever heard. How does that even make any sense? Throughout all the existing struggles of a college student, with the stress of a competitor added only makes us stronger students. It doesn't at all mean we are expecting a free ride in a classroom because we play a sport.
Hope I answered your question, or touched on your statement fucker.

Content.
As of now, I'm content.
I finally chose my classes, which was a huge hurdle for me, because I procrastinate literally everything. On the contrary, I need to go to the school to do some last minute paperwork before I am involuntarily dropped from all my registered classes.
I am content on many different levels, ranging from relationships (friends and otherwise), work, (for now), and home life.
I will not be stressed out about the things that are so minute in life, when they are only temporary. Friends? Huh? Can I get a definition? Another one lost, more insight gained. Again, as I mentioned in one of my previous blogs, this coincides with the advice my mother used to give me about finding out a persons true colors. Even still, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. (& I appreciate the help, but I just gotta know for myself)...A clip from a Drake song. Lol. Anyway, I'm content without the friends that don't deserve to be here.
Relationship-wise, I'm fine. I've never needed a girlfriend at any time, for any reason, and I won't start now. I'm too focused on my career to begin a relationship mid-way through what it takes to get there. I am content being single. I do what I want, with whomever I want, whenever I want to do it. Do I need a main, or a down ass bitch? No. I need nothing. In the past few months, I've met several candidates (for lack of a better word) that seem to be unqualified to even be considered for daily conversation with me, let alone anything else. I believe I've said or wrote this before, if you cannot match me on an intellectual level, then get. I won't find you attractive in any way, shape, or form, if you can't hold a conversation with me (aim or otherwise) without sounding like you were raised in the worst area of Los Angeles. Increase your intellect, or continue to not know me.
Work- Ah fuck. Everyone knows that I have a serious problem working far more than I should. This semester, I chose all classes that are only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, thus making it impossible for me to work 6 days a week, ranging from 50-60 hours. I have no choice but to cut down on the hours by nearly half, which I'm certain will result in focusing more on my studies.
Choosing a school- Fuck my life. I've never been more undecided on anything this much until now. I have not chose a school, I'm considering multiple, and I don't think I'm in a hurry to choose one. They all sound interesting in my opinion. Someone help?
This upcoming semester is about to kick my ass, I can feel it now. There are no more easy classes to crowd my schedule with. With that being said, away with the bullshit, and on with school! The less stress I have in my life, the better.
I am content.

Second Chance- Shinedown
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
What a fucking mental case.
First and foremost, I'd like to apologize to the fucks that read my blog frequently and that have been complaining to me that I suck at blogging as often as I promised too.
Anyway, I hate the situation I'm in as of now. The last two weeks have been the most fucked up 14 days I've ever encountered. I wish I can take them back. But if I take them back, the only good thing I've acquired from these torturous days will be nonexistent. I've found truth. I think that it has been more of a self realization, if anything at all. Kind of a what-the-fuck-are-you-doing type of deal.
Long story short, I've returned to normality. Ciao.
