"You are looking outside, and that is what you should most avoid right now. No one can advise or help you - no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself." -Ranier Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young PoetIt's funny how the longer you're away from someone, the more you notice whether they have changed or not the next time you see them.

First off, I don't even remember the last time that I wrote a blog; I definitely need to get back in the groove of doing so. For the past two months, I have been through the only ups and downs--like any regular human being of course. So yeah, I quit my OL "job" for reasons that I won't mention besides me being mentally tired and, quite frankly, I was unhappy. The summer was fun and I had an

Damn, the clock is ticking at such a speedy pace. The summer is almost over; a successful summer at that. Next week is my last session for summer orientation and it's kind of sad, but rewarding at the same time. Who would have thought that these weeks would fly by? It seems like just a minute ago I was meeting my co-workers/friends for the first time. It's funny to see how we became so close

B. Scott is a fabulous firecracker of a man. For those who do not know who B. Scott is, he is an avid video blogger who has gained fame across the worldwide web. He has even gained so much recognition that he has been recently involved in the NOH8 campaign in California to combat Proposition 8. I was put onto B.

Another morning that I'm awake. Why do I keep doing this to myself? I mean really, Friday I was up from 12:15 until *gasp* approximately 11:20 am Saturday morning. Not to mention I had a performance at 8pm later on that Saturday, so what was I thinking? What influenced me to do such a thing? Maybe it was the little bit of "Finding Nemo" that I drank for celebrating Princess' success at the

WordsCan you imagine how words effect a person? One word can turn a whole day upside down. A few words can cause unbearable pain. A whole sentence can sometimes lead to destruction. It's crazy because in this day and age, we should be finding words of encouragement; words that will push us forward instead of drawing us back. We as human beings need to try and live by meaningful words, not just

Talk about your turn of events! Just when you think that things go down hill, they tend to pick up in another way. To start off, I totally passed my Black Psych quiz; got all of my multiple choice and true/false questions right (that's 80 points right there lol) so I just have to see how the short answer section is. All in all, I passed. Not to mention my professor's going to be out of town

This past weekend has dealt a strong blow on my heart. As everyone who's read my blog knows, I've been losing out on a considerable amount of sleep lately due to papers and projects and all that's in between. The past two days, on the other hand, have dealt me some cards that were unexpected.So Monday night I was walking through the SUB (Student Union Building for the non-NP heads) to go to the

So lately I've been having a lot of discussion about this one topic: being who I am. It's all down to the clothes I wear, how I act, who I interact with, and all that jazz. I have come to a clear realization that people unfortunately look at me a certain way: family, strangers, whoever.Last night I get into the house (quite frankly minding my own business) and I had on this nice low V-neck long

Damn...that's all I can say right now. Just as soon as I get so close to the finish line, I feel like something causes me to trip. Right now I don't know whether I should have a vendetta with my Spanish professor, or if I should look at my English professor (or the English department rather) in a different way.Might as well start out with the good news, since that's what we like to do in life:

So my homie skillet Angel made up this little holiday called March of Gratitude. What you do is each day of March, you state what you are grateful for everywhere you can: your away messages, Facebook status, on your wall, etc. If I can say so myself, this is the most brilliant thing that I have ever heard.This month, I have realized all of the things--big and small--that take a positive effect on

So the other night I'm up bored on Facebook (my usual routine when I don't want to do any form of work). I see that my friends do these little quizzes that is meant to tell you things like "What Kind of Superhero Are You?" and such. Well I found one that I took interest in, which was "Which Fantasy Creature Are You?" and I went along with it, not expecting any results. Heck, for all I know I was

So yeah, it's been a considerable amount of time since I have written a blog, and might I add SO MUCH HAS GONE ON IN MY LIFE!First and foremost, the two words that sums up the theme of this semester: NO RESPECT. To clarify what this means, it's pretty much another way of saying that I've just learned to let live and let go. I guess you can say that I've become a little nonchalant with my classes

It is so hard to really find those people that you can call "friends" nowadays. Some people are fair weather friends; they come and go like the seasons. Then you have the select few friends that stick around for the long haul; the friends that you cherish, love, all that good stuff that you can definitely be honest with, laugh, talk, etc.Now I'm completely aware that most of my posts have been

So yeah, decided to make this whole blog thing lol. I was pretty much curious, since I'm always seeing "blogspot" this and "blogger" that, so I said "hey, why not try it?"Anywho, I guess I can use this first blog to explain what the title of my blog is. For those who know me--especially my best friends back home--my nickname is Phoenix when I'm with my group XOXO (we got that from Gossip Girl,

I'll be honest: this college life is hard. I find myself going to sleep all hours of the morning, night, whatever you want to call it. Some days I do the work required, other days I forget the work that I must do. Spanish is most definitely kicking my ass. Hell, I even S/U'd the course (long story as of what that means, but let's just say it's a step closer to me not giving a fuck.) In the

Home: for me, it's a place where you feel that you're comfortable, where you can be you, where you have family. I can comfortably say that I have two homes: New Paltz and New York City. It's actually funny; New York City becomes less of a home to me as the days go by. However, what reminds me that I still have a place there is not the busy streets or the flashing lights, but the friends that I

I am most definitely feeling the spring air. This weekend has been, by far, the best weekend that I have had in New Paltz since Blue and Orange Weekend and my first week of school. Friday night my friends and I went to the Kappa party and had nothing but a feel good time. Anytime I dance I just feel free, so even though I still feel sick for some odd reason, I felt relief on the dance floor.
