So in the celebrity world the biggest news to surface is Kristen Stewart coming out and publicly apologizing for cheating on Rob Pattinson with a man 19 years her senior. In my mind, good for him; she's so socially awkward it's unreal. However, the most bizarre thing is how upset the Twilight fans are. Some highlights are below:
"Kristen Stewart. You b***h," one Tumblr user wrote.
"I said I didn't want to make a video about this because I thought it
wasn't true," NuttyMadam, real name Emma Clark, starts off in her
video, posted Wednesday afternoon. She soon devolves into tears over the
heartbreak.
"You were stupid enough to get photographed doing it!" she yells to
Stewart in the video. "Don't be so stupid! ...This is just one step too
far."
"I feel so sorry for Rob," she bawls. "I can't imagine what they're both going through."
NuttyMadam saves the worst of it for Sanders, though.
"Congratuf******glations Rupert Sanders. You just pissed off a
million people cause you just couldn't keep it in your pants," she
tweeted.
Never, ever, ever upset a Twilight fan. Ever.

Destination...?
Ever wonder where you'll end up in life?
I constantly think about this on a daily basis. I always wonder how some people find their way into their current career field or how they end up across the country from their home.
Life has thrown me some curveballs since college, and I know throughout life we'll all be given them once in a while. I also know that, raised a Catholic, God doesn't give us things we can not handle; and I tell myself this frequently.
Thus far, I have handled life's not-so-pleasant "reality checks", and may even pat myself on the back and say that I have somewhat handled them gracefully. Every day I wake up and am thankful that I still have a loving family, and caring friends, and that I have a very important guardian angel looking down on me.
I just hope that given my experiences in life thus far, I'll be able to look back on how I have handled things in 30 years and be proud of my accomplishments as well as the life choices I made. I know there is no book to tell me what to do and how to get where I want in life because if there was I'd be the first one in line to buy it; no matter the cost.
So here's to where life is going to take me. To the bad times and good times. And to all the people I meet, and experiences I have along the way.

College
This past weekend I went back to my alma mater, Western Michigan University, for homecoming. This is my third year coming back as an alumna and every year I look forward to the weekend. It is a weekend full of great friends, food, and good times.
During college I can say that I knew those were going to be the most fun times of my life. I tried to not take for granted the time I had there with the amazing people and experiences, but unfortunately there were times when I still did.
College is fun no matter what city the university is in as long as you have made a good group of friends, enjoy your classes and major, and are putting yourself out there to experience new and different things. My college career was amazing as I had an awesome support group and tried to take advantage of every opportunity given to me. By the time I was in my senior year though, I was ready to get out. I wanted to be more independent and start making the big bucks $$$$$.
Well, like everything else in my life, I had my expectations too high, and did not start making the big bucks; just small ones. And I gained my independence... and then wanted to give it back. Graduating from college is NOT that fun. Parents always tell you that college is the best time of your life, and like everything else, who listened to their parents? NOT ME.
I have been post collegiate for about 2.5 years now and am still getting used to the complete lifestyle change. I do not have that strong social group anymore. I do not get to stay up late and sleep in when I can, or want to. And I especially do not get to skip a class here or there because I would rather lay out in the sun with my friends. It is a hard transition, and reality definitely has kicked me down a couple of times. But luckily, I still have that awesome support group from college to help me up whenever I need, and to provide me with the words of encouragement when I am feeling down.
In the "real world" you are not going to get your dream job right away. In fact, you may never get it. My mother always told me that life wasn't fair, and she was right. Just because you want something and you're willing to do your best to get it, doesn't mean you will.
I am not trying to be negative or anything, it is just something I have learned since I have graduated. Fortunately, I did not give up on my dream job, or listen to the critics who told me to just stick with logistics because I was good at it and could make good money. Nope. I told them that I went to college so I could do something that I enjoyed, and I intended on applying to job after job until there weren't anymore left to apply for. So don't give up. Even if it takes you 10, 15 years; don't give up. Those who give up and just let nature take its course in the field that you are currently in is allowing you to become complacent with your life. Cheesy quotes always say that you only have one life to live, to live it right the first time. I agree. I know I am trying my best to make this once-in-a-lifetime thing right the first time.

I did it
So the opportunity I have been waiting for has finally come. I got the job in Detroit working events for a private club, and start in a little over two weeks. I have a lot to do and a lot to think about between now and then.
I have to figure out my budget (I hate this word).
I have to find somwhere to live (any ideas???)
I have to hope they will give me the time off I need to a family vacation in February.
I have to pack all my stuff up.
I have to organize my belongings.
I have to rent a U-haul.
I have to make sure my father, brothers, and boyfriend can move me.
I have to think of everything.
It's times like these that I really miss my mother. She would be putting the lists together, and gathering my items up. She'd make sure my apartment is clean and help me clean the carpets, pantries and walls. She was truly a one-of-a-kind woman and the best mom I could of asked for. Of course, I'm realizing many things about her now that she is gone, but that seems to be the way it always is.
I have butterflies in my stomach and anxiety about starting the new job. I know it's because it's new and different, but I have my concerns too. It's going to be a lot of hours, and working every Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping my family will celebrate Thanksgiving on a different day. It's going to be a big change, but I think it's the change I need and have been looking for. I know this is the right opportunity because my mom has been watching over me making sure I make the right decisions. She always told me that she wanted me to learn from my own mistakes, so here I go. Off on my own to make those mistakes and to grow as a person.
Wish me luck.

Pumpkin Spice Latte
For the past couple of weeks I have seen so many people on Facebook talking about the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks. I'm not really a big coffee fan and prefer Chai Tea Lattes, but decided to try it out since there was so much buzz.
I was stuck at work late on Friday night, and was driving to Lansing to meet my boyfriend on our way to Grand Rapids. I was tired from a long day of work so I stopped by Starbucks to give the PSL a try. Now I hope I won't be losing any friends from this post, but I thought it was bad. Really bad. I couldn't taste any pumpkin flavor and it just tasted like every other latte I've had. Some of my sips were better than others, but I couldn't even finish it. I'm really bummed because I was hoping to have a new favorite thing for Fall, but needless to say the PSL did not meet my expectations.
I think I'll just stick with the Morgan's and hot apple cider from now on.

Reality Check
One of my favorite sites for news is Yahoo.com. It has a great mix of politics, pop culture, and random facts. Today I ran across an article about the povery the US is facing, and interviewed people who are living in poverty due to the recession. Every day we hear about the job issue and recession because it's all over the news. But it really hits hard when you hear a personal story about someone who was doing so well for themself, and then slowly kept slipping until they ran out of options.
Please take time to read this story and the individual stories within the article. It makes me appreciate all that I have so much more, and is just another daily reminder that my life is wonderful.
