Hey, I don't have a whole lot to update about, I just felt like I needed to write something in here...Since not a whole lot is going on as of right now, I think I'm going to do a couple different things. I am going to put some of my 'favorites' on here such as movies, music, tv, books, etc. just so you guys can get to know me a little more. I'm also going to make a list of goals, whether it's for this week, this month or just sometime in my life. I'm going to get that all figured out and then post it later. For now I'm just going to talk about my favorite movies. I'm really bad at deciding which is my favorite but this is the order I'm going with for today, also, no Disney movies are in this list because that's a whole different category, so here it is...

15. Moulin Rouge - This movie is so good! I love Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman! It's a love story musical, which you will come to see many of my favorites are.

14. The Devil Wears Prada - Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Adrian Grenier, Stanley Tucci, and Meryl Streep, what's not to love?! This is an awesome movie about working in the fashion world, so of course I love it!

13. Crazy Stupid Love - This movie is packed with some really awesome actors/actresses. It has Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon and many others.

12. Mean Girls - "It is so fetch!" No but seriously, this movie is hilarious and I quote it at least once a day. It stars a couple of my favorite actresses, Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfreid, and of course Tina Fey and Amy Poehler just make it even more hilarious!

11. Water For Elephants -This movie is sooo good! It's very sad at parts but it's worth it because the story is wonderful. Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon are perfect for it and did a great job. I encourage everyone to watch it.

10. 27 Dresses -I love this movie so much! Katherine Heigel and James Marsden are awesome, and it's just a great, funny movie.

9. Hunger Games - This movie is just awesome!! It's so amazing, go watch it if you haven't seen it!!

8. Easy A - This movie has some of my favorite actors and actresses like Emma Stone, Amanda Bynes, Cam Gigandet, Lisa Kudrow, Aly Michalka, Penn Badgley, Thomas Haden Church and of course Stanley Tucci! It's hilarious and I would definitely recommend it!

7. Meet Me In St Louis - Judy Garland is one of my all time favorite actresses and this is one of her best movies. The story is great, the music is great, it's just overall amazing.

6. Burlesque - Christina Aguilera, Cher, Cam Gigandet, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci yet again make this movie awesome. It reminds me of Moulin Rouge a lot but it's so different at the same time. The soundtrack is probably one of my favorite cds of all time, it's really good.

5. Sweet Home Alabama - This is the movie that I can watch over and over and never get sick of it. Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey and Josh Lucas make it even better. It's one of those movies I watch every time I know it's on tv and I know all the words to it...It's great!

4. Pride And Prejudice - This movie is just...amazing. It's very slow and if you don't like movies about that time period you will be completely bored, but it has such a great love story. I love how they go from not being able to stand each other to loving each other. Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen are wonderful together, and Donald Sutherland is just awesome.

3. Titanic - I love Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, they're amazing. It's the ultimate, tragic love story. Spoiler Alert Warning!! If you need that warning though I am very disappointed and you need to go watch this like ASAP. Everytime I watch it I still hope Leo won't die in the end...it's just so sad.

2. The Wizard Of Oz - I don't even know what to say about this one. It's fantastic and if you haven't seen it I'm afraid I can't talk to you until you go watch it. It's the classic story about there being "no place like home" and appreciating what you have. It also has great, catchy music, and of course Judy Garland!

1. Phantom Of The Opera - The newer version with Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson and Minnie Driver. This movie is just so wonderful. I love it so much, and the music is amazing. I even have the soundtrack. I would definitely suggest watching this, it's my all time favorite and it has been for years. It's a love story with suspence, action and singing. What could be better?

Hey! I am all moved back into Ball State! I moved back in last Saturday, I got to move in early because I was a part of Opening Committee for the residence hall I live in. For those of you who don't know a residence hall is what most people often mistakenly call a dorm. A dorm is where you sleep, a residence hall is where you live. Wow...I hang out with way too many people involved in housing and residence life hahaha. Anyway, back to Opening Committee, I basically had a blast! I made many new friends and became closer to those I already knew but wasn't super close to. We have been having so much fun! Oh and I also have my van here this year so it's been pretty fun going to do all these random things. We've gone out to eat, to the mall, to Wal-Mart at midnight to get The Hunger Games, etc. Let me just tell you, that Wal-Mart trip was fun but exhausting! We had all gotten up early to do check ins and then we didn't get back till 2 am and had to get up and ready to do check ins again by like 8 am. We all got so much stuff that they literally got one of the move in carts here to bring in all the stuff. Opening Committee put on 2 programs for opening week. There was an ice cream social/game night which turned into a huge dance party. We learned the Interlude dance, which is kind of my new obsession. If you haven't heard of it go YouTube it, the song is Interlude by Attack Attack and there's a real easy dance to it but when there's a whole room doing it it looks awesome. The next night we had karaoke, which was also a ton of fun. So many people showed up to these events, it was crazy! I hope we can get people out like that for Hall Council events and programs.

Sunday we had got together and had waffles, it was like the waffle sales we always have but it was just for us and they were free. It was pretty fun. Monday was the first day of classes. I only had one, family wellness. It seems like it's going to be a pretty easy class, kind of like a health class but also about families. That evening a few of us went to the Student Center, I didn't eat because I was getting dinner later with Matt but I went and hung out while the others ate. We then came back and chilled by the couches, it was before or close to 6 pm. The group got bigger and Matt came over so we ordered pizza and he stayed for a bit but there were like 7 of us that stayed there till after 11 talking. We were there for over 5 hours! We had a lot of good conversations though and we had a lot of fun. Today, well technically now it's yesterday, I had 3 classes. I was nervous because I can't reach the elevator buttons in the buildings where 2 of my classes are. It all worked out though and I think this semester is going to go great. I had my computer class, then lunch with Matt and Bri, then French, and then the study of designers and forecasting. I came back to my room and was talking to my mom because I'm stressing out about money. I then got very upset because a lot has been on my mind lately and I was thinking how I would normally talk to Bethany about this stuff that's bothering me. So then I was really sad and kind of losing it because it's still rough. I started to feel better though after a little while. I decided to check Facebook and stuff when one of my new friends sent me a message asking if I wanted to watch Mean Girls, so the same group that was there for 5 hours yesterday was there again watching that. It was fun and I definitely needed it.

Well I think that's about all for now. I need to go to bed, I have to get up in 6 hours. I'm sure I'll think of more to write after I post this but it'll just have to wait till next time. Night!

Hey, so I am currently sitting in bed, watching Pretty Little Liars, eating yogurt, and going though other people's blogs. I came across one person's and it kind of upset me. They were talking about how much they didn't like themselves and how they felt like a failure. It brought back all those feelings I had last year and years before. I've been feeling so much better this last year and I'm so grateful, but I have never come across someone feeling those same feelings at least not in current times. People are always like 'yeah I used to feel that way' or something along those lines but I always felt like they were just saying that to be nice or that it was a long time ago so how can they really understand since they were so young? Reading this blog made me realize I'm not alone. I feel so bad for this person because I know what it's like to be in that place. They are only seeing the negatives in their life. They need to see all the positives, they need to realize how great of a friend they are, they're funny, and super nice. I wish they would see all the great things that everyone else does. I hope they see this and feel at least a little better...That's all I have for this time, I'll try to write again soon!
