Life & Christmas

So as you all know, Christmas is right around the corner and I'm quite excited.

ANDDDDD 6 days left until my 18th birthday! 

Yes, to answer your mental question, it does suck having a birthday 3 days after Christmas. But what can you do? I'm just happy that I'll be 18 before the majority of my classmates will be.

I don't have a lot to write about so I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Merry Christmas everyone! (in 3 days) 

Late - (Draft from August)

Hello writers, readers, or anyone who has managed to get to this blog somehow. I haven't written forever, so I felt that a greeting was necessary.

Why haven't I written in forever, you may ask. Well, I'd like to say that I was on an exotic journey through the Amazon rain forest, or getting a front-seat view on the wild animals in Africa, however, I wasn't doing either of those things. No, instead, I spent most of my August in British Columbia and working.

Okay, okay, so it hasn't exactly been an eventful month. British Columbia was awesome, and I saw so many beautiful things. Work is alright, too, but doesn't compare to being able to relax. I'm getting paid though, so it isn't a big deal.

School started on Wednesday, and I've been a little stressed. Yeah,  I know, it's only been 2 days, and it's not like I'm overloaded. 

Life & Success

I wrote a blog post a while back titled "Life and Rejection" where I ranted about how I had experienced some major rejections in the past year.

Well, it's not quite 2014 yet, and I wanted to write about my recent success.

I doubt anyone knows this, but I applied for the Loran Scholarship in October. I received an email about a week ago that said I was a semi-finalist and I would be getting interviewed over the phone.

And now I'm heading to Toronto in February to do in-person interviews! 

Life & The City

And what a week it has been! I went from chilling in my bedroom in my small town to heading to the city for basketball camp. In the course of 1 week I went to a Carly Rae Jepsen concert, tubing on a lake, swimming, shopping (bought a new dress!), hot tubbing and of course playing basketball. Today is my last day in the city and I have mixed feelings about going back to my small town. On the one hand, I miss my friends but on the other hand, there's always so much to do in the city!

I definitely miss my computer. I mean, make fun all you want, but that's something that I could not go without for very long. I've managed a week - but then again I have my iPhone, so it doesn't really count.

In about 4-5 days I'll be heading to B.C. for some great times as a family trip with my cousins. I'm super pumped for that :) hopefully we'll see some great sights!

I'll probably blog more when I'm not typing on this stupid, tiny iPhone keyboard. Peace out!

#FigmentCovers

Sorry guys, I needed a place to put all of my stuff for figment. 

Life & Rejection

Wow, from hands-on experience with rejection all I can say is that it sucks.

This is the third major rejection I've experienced this year. I know I shouldn't be making a big deal about it, I don't even know why I am... but it hurts. As many of you know, I got fired from my first job ever in April. If that wasn't enough, the talk with my ex didn't go over as planned and no there is no chance that anything will ever happen. And now... REJECTED from something I applied to a few months ago...

Why? I wish I knew, honestly. I hate those fucking phone calls. Those, "We're sorry, you didn't make it, but we encourage you to blah, blah blah."

Fucking, bloody hell. Why don't I have more control over this?

I wish I could just start over, sometimes. Or go back and undo some of the stupid things I've done. I know I shouldn't regrets, but, hell, I do, and I can't help them.

"One day it's here and then it's gone,
How are you still holding on?"
-One Day, Kodaline

And then, to make it even worse, my mom comes in my room and asks if everything is okay. I hate fucking crying in front of people. I feel like an idiot every time it happens. I know some people are just like, whatever, you cry, you get on with life. But fuck. I'm the only person that I can cry in front of without feeling like a complete idiot. And even when I cry I'm just thinking... stop, you're better than this. Stop crying. It's not even that big of a deal. Why are you crying?

It just sucks.

Life & How To Be A Heartbreaker

Rule number 1,
Is that you gotta have fun
But baby when you're done
You gotta be the first to run

Rule number 2,
Just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
So l-let me tell you

Okay, but seriously, that song is catchy.

ANYWAY, I've been working on my novel, and I've hit the 20,000 mark. (which is around 2 hours to read) so that's awesome! :)

I'm excited to write more and develop it more.
