Hallloweeeenn!
This weekend was very legit. It was full of halloween spirit which I absolutely loved!! I miss being a kid and going trick or treating. But I do have to say halloween parties are much more fun. Hanging out with friends while dressed up as whatever you please is always great. When I was a kid, my mom would pick out cute little costumes for me. I've been a witch, an m&m, a poodle girl, etc. Although these costumes were cute and clever, I like being able to do me. I was a nurse last night and at the last football game I was "the ultimate party animal." Costumes are fun to pick out because you get a chance to be weird and creative. Although I find it completely unacceptable, girls could wear practically nothing and still be welcomed to parties. You can also look like something crazy and be accepted. My friend, Taylor, dressed up as a girl waiting for her boyfriend to come back from the Vietnam War and her boyfriend dressed up as a soldier. It was too cute! I was a nurse last night and my boyfriend was "Doctor Shots". Its fun to match people. But thats about allll I have to say about halloween. I can't wait til next year when halloween transforms yet again into COLLEGE HALLOWEEN!!!! <3

This I Believe
Take the Good with the Bad
Living Life could easily be the most complex task known to mankind. Everyday is a new learning experience. Whether the learning experience is good or bad, it forms you into the person you become. Everything in life happens for a reason.
There are times in life where you reflect on recent events and just think, why me? I have found myself asking this question during many occasions in my lifetime. I’d be lying if I said none of these events have affected me at all. In reality, each and every one has contributed into who I am today.
It is easy to say my dad has made the biggest contribution. Over the past few years, my dad and I have grown much closer. My freshmen year, I would’ve never pictured my relationship with him the way it is now. This relationship didn’t just happen because of our compatible personalities, but because of the many fights we’ve gotten into and all the poor choices I have made.
My dad and I never used to get along. We would fight about anything we could fight about. To act out, I started doing more of what I wanted to do instead of what I should’ve been doing. That’s when I got into an extremely unhealthy relationship with someone who had low, if any, expectations for himself. This guy fit the description perfectly of someone my dad didn’t want me dating. After a year of getting hurt over and over again, I finally learned my lesson. I gave up on the relationship expecting the classic “I told you so” speech from my dad. Instead, he helped me move on and supported me the whole way through. “I knew you would figure this one out on your own,” he said.
Although that awful relationship hurt me at the time, it helped me in the long run. I know now that it happened for a reason. That reason was to let my dad play a bigger role in my life. Since then, my dad has been there for me. He has looked out for me and helped me with some pretty difficult things. He gives the best advice and knows how to make my days better. I don’t know where I’d be without his support and I’m glad so much good came out of the bad.
This isn’t the only thing that has pushed me to believe everything happens for a reason. Friends I have gained, friends I have lost, relationships gone bad, they have all taught me so much. My friendships have taught me how to be a better friend to people and my past relationships have taught me how to treat the people I truly love. Everything in life contributes into the person you are. I can honestly say that every person that has come into my life has affected me in some way, shape, or form. I am very grateful for that.
Marilyn Monroe once said, “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so eventually you learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” Like I said, I have had many events where I sat down and just asked, why me? In the end, that’s what life is about. Things happen to teach you more about yourself than you’d ever want to know. Whenever life seems rough or everything seems life it is shattering around you, remember, it is happening for a reason.

My Enchanted Evening
Man oh man, is senior year flying by! My last fall homecoming is done and over with. I'm happy to say it was a huge success. I had a lot of fun and I'm glad it was such a memorable evening. Me and a few girls, Katie Dolder, Sarah Mills, and Rachel Tilson, all got ready at my house. It took us a while to attempt to reach perfection. We then went to creekside at 5:30 for pictures. We had about twenty people in our group and it was a blast. After that, a few of us broke off from the group and went to Chipotle for dinner. The rest of the group went to Sakura, which was over my budget. After Chipotle, we made a few pit stops and we were on our way to the dance! We got there around 8 or 8:30. As soon as we walked into the gym, the heat hit me and I immediately started sweating. It was disgusting to say the least. But then dancing happened and what not. When the dance was over, I went home, only to find out I was still grounded!!!!!!!!! So i stayed home for the night and had some company over. And that is how the cookie crumbled.

Getting Arrested..
Today I was told to write about the time I was arrested. Well, it was a rough night. It was kind of chilly outside, but not really. I guess you could say the weather was alright. But it was getting dark. I was with a few friends and we were leaving my friend Mckenna Teague's house. As we were leaving, we saw a puppy on the side of the road. This sounds like it is made up but all of it is true, promise. Anyway, we pulled over because mckenna wanted to pet the cute little puppy. Right when we pulled over the owners opened the front door to their apartment. Thats when Mckenna started yelling, "Abort! Abort!" We drove away, made a right turn towards Hamilton road when not one, not two, not even three, but four cop cars went flying past us. They all did u-turns and pulled us over. They cuffed us all and took the three guys to the cop cars to question them. Apparently there was a robbery in that neighborhood while we leaving and they thought it could've been us. They thought we had kicked down a door and tried to take someones stuff. That was not the case at all. So after being falsey accused, they made us call our parents because we were out past cufew. I now only appreciate a select few of Gahanna cops. As we were leaving, Mckenna yelled, "I'm so angry, I could kick down a door!"
