Little Patty Cakes is growing up *part 1*

Here is my last summer of undergrad. I cannot believe it. I remembered talking about college when I was younger, and now I am almost finished. This year is gonna be crazy and I already feel it. Its only August! I always knew I would make it this far in life, but I cannot believe that it happened so quick. I am truly excited to finally get my degree, but at the same time I am not ready for the "grown up" things.

What I have been told

I have been told many a things.  I have been told that I look like I am ready to commit suicide with the style of some of my blogs and my tweets. What people don't realize I hold a lot of my true emotions in. They come out on my twitter or my blogspot because they are venting space. Now what do you rather? Me jumping off a bridge, or me sounding type emo online.? I know I am a dramatist and I make things worst than what it is, but its just how I am. Now if you have a problem with it then unfollow me or don't read my blogs.

Men. The anguish they give me.

People who are close to me know that I am always complaining or whining about men all the time. Everyone has their opinions about men. What is my opinion you may ask? All men are the same. They all think the same, and act the same. They are selfish and only thinks about themselves. I know that they all aren't the same, but the men I have been dealing with have fed into my opinion. Many have said to me to change the type of men that I look into. I have tried. Trust me I have, but somehow I always end up in the same trap. My resentment for men has gotten so bad nowadays that last week I continually cursed all my male friends, and took a trip up to Westchester where I walked through a couple towns via the Bronx. My best friend thinks I have a build up of resentment because I am not fully over my ex. I still to this day wear the chain he got me from Ireland one year ago this summer. My soror sister told me to get rid of it when we were hanging out Saturday, but I cannot part with the chain yet. The only time I take it off is if I am going some where fancy, or I am going to the hairdresser. Everyone who knows me or have seen me in pictures knows how the chain looks like. My ex fed into my opinion this weekend. He drunks texts me saying how he misses me, and the next day when I offered to hang out he refuses to hang out with me thinking it is best. My sis thinks he upset at himself for breaking up with me, but honestly he could have stayed with me because I remember begging to work it out with him. At my young age of 21 I am constantly either either very ecstatic when it comes to men or depressed to the point I just wanna walk very far as far as I can. I know I am young and I have virtually a lot of my life left in front of me, but I seriously feel pressured by my family. Right now as much as I envision myself in a wedding dress and the whole nine yards I feel honestly that isn't going happen.

I'm Back

Greek Life

This is semester I joined the school sorority Beta Upsilon Delta. It was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I am part of the Upsilon class of the sorority and I crossed with nine beautiful awesome ladies who I love so much. Here are the basic facts for my name and bigs....

 My sister name is Alannah. Alannah was chosen for me based for my love on Ireland. It is a Gaelic name meaning my child and beautiful. During pledging I always would go to my bigs for reassurance and guidance which made them like my parents. I am beautiful because I have overcame a lot of obstacles in my life. I never let negativity stop me from achieving my goals. I am beautiful inside and out.

Bigs: As every greek life organization I have a big sister. Correction I have two big sisters: Harley and Lady. Originally I had just Lady, but Harley was given to me at a later date. Looking back on the family tree I appear to be only the person with two bigs. I love my big sisters so much because they, along with with my line sisters, helped me through pledging.

That is it for now, I am pretty sure I will be writing about sorority events pretty soon. First event: Pinwheel Campaign :)

Arresting children over nonsense

So I was in class today in the library when the teacher was teaching us how to cite an internet link. She had us go on CNN.com and that is where i found the article. A 12 yr old girl from Forest Hills, Queens, NY was just simply doodling on her desk during class saying that she loved her friends. Nothing profane or explicit. The teacher saw this and had the cops come into the classroom and handcuff her in front of her classmates and escorted out of class. As many may know in New York City the public schools have school police officers stationed  in some part of the school. The police is there to help keep crowd control and behavior problems in the schools. But going back to this story. I thought it was crazy just to arrest a child for doodling on a desk. I remember when I went to grammar school (which wasn't so long ago) if a student wrote on the desk they simply got reprimanded and then was made to clean off the desk with water and soap. Nowadays students get arrested for that. In the article her mother explains that she was suspended for three days and the girl spent those days vomiting from the anxiety of getting trouble. This girl never got in trouble before this incident. Arresting children seems to be the new trend and it is happening more frequently that you can imagine. Children across the United States have getting arrested over silly things like this and I think it is ridiculous. Whatever happened to students just simply getting reprimanded by the teacher or the principal and maybe getting a punish assignment. I think those days are gone.... now its off to jail.....
