Goodbye Summer

This summer was nothing how I planned or expected to be. In the beginning, I was content being home & waking up to my man every morning, but now I'm truly happy in Ohio with my momma & feeling more independent everyday! As I say goodbye to these summer days, I reflect on everything I've been through these past couple months & I can't believe I made it. I more than made it, I overcame things that would hold other back. I was down for a little but I picked myself right back up. I'm beyond grateful for all my REAL friends & all the support they have given me. You never know who is truly there for you until you are down & out. 

But with all that said, I can't wait to walk into class tomorrow afternoon & get my focus back! I am elated that this summer is coming to an end & college life is picking back up! I've learned so many lessons this summer but the most important lesson was to never sell my self short. The sky is the limit for my future & the things that I can achieve. Accepting mediocrity is not an option and will not be accepted in my life anymore. I will do whatever it takes to reach my goals & die trying. 

To all those going through a hard time out there, I feel for you & I promise you things will get better. Keep your faith & keep your head up. A come up will come your way.

Welcome Back!

It's that time of the year again !

Time for overly priced books, new dorm bed sets, new & old friends, new teachers, & so much more! I assume most of my readers are college students so let me be the first to wish you a good luck on this academic year! College is full of opportunities that are just waiting to be taken advantage of so don't spend the whole semester at parties and in your bed. Here are a few tips on how to make you the most well-rounded college student there is.

1. The first thing you should do when you arrive on campus is find friends! You will find people of every shape, color, age, & background!

2. Join a club! You will meet so many people with the same interests as you! Joining a club gives you something positive to do & you'll be able to include it on your resume.

3. STUDY & GET THE GRADES! We can't forget the point of going to college. I know studying is a hard concept for most to comprehend but if you come up with a schedule & routine for yourself, it'll get easier. If you don't get good grades, college will become pointless and a waste of money. (P.S. Studying with your friends never works!)

4. Do something active ! Bowling Green State University will be my third university & only one required a gym credit. Making sure you stay active & exercise is something most kids our age seems to forget when we get to college. (Freshman 15) Almost all colleges offer intramural sports & they don't require any experience or for you to actually be good at it.

5. Don't be bed written! Go to football games, basketball games, lacrosse games & other cheesy campus events. Having school spirit, believe it or not, is a big part of enjoying college. When you believe in your school, you'll develop a sense of respect & pride for you school.

6. Last but NOT least, don't make a fool of yourself by partying too much. Condone yourself and have respect for yourself. No one likes someone who does too much when they go out because at the end of the night, it's your friends that will have to babysit you & that gets old, real fast!

If high school was the best four years of your life, you indeed did something wrong. Just kidding, kind of. But college should no doubt be the best time of your life. Don't be like someone I know & stay in your room on the phone with you boyfriend your whole first year of school. (Me) You live & you learn, so this year, I'll no doubt be following all of my tips to every extent. A very important Come Up!

Party hard, but study harder!
Best of luck,

B.

Lately

Lately I've been having writers block
Most of my material comes from my emotions & now it's like my heart is in shock
See my hearts been broken & it felt like there was no coming back
But surprisingly my heart is making its own comeback
I've been smiling a lot & I think it's because of you
Its the way you stay true and the other amazing things you do
Would you believe me if I said I was in love?
You saw me at my worst & told me soon enough I'll rise above
I'm just so grateful that finally someone loves me unconditionally
& I love the fact that her name is me.
