So immediately after getting back to school I wanted to go home. I'm tired of missing everyone. I've been thinking about going back home but I don't know if I would regret it or not. This summer is going to be great.

I've recently reconnected with someone who I had stopped talking to for a while. A group of people who I thought were my friends actually hate me and I had lost touch with them a while ago, and I just stopped talking to him because I just assumed that he never cared in the first place. One night when I was getting ready for bed he texted me and we ended up talking and having dinner together the next night and we had a nice conversation. He had realized his mistakes.

So we're friends again and even though he still hangs out with the He Man Chelsea Haters club (the word that I came up with that we call them now, even though it's mostly girls), I'm not going to hold it against him. They're just an immature bunch that are still stuck in high school and probably will be there for a really long time and will be screwed in the long run, but if they ever want to talk to me or anything I'll never push them away. Even if we may not have a lot in common I would be willing to find other things to do. It's called growing up. I've never ever in my life dealt with that much drama, not in high school and not even in middle school, so it says a lot about them.

So I will just concentrate on the friends I have and pray that the others will grow up and treat others a heck of a lot better than they treated me. :-)

My first semester here did NOT go as great as I thought, but next year will be a lot better hopefully, and if not I can always go home.

Love and crazy college days everywhere

Last day of spring break :-(

Cue the sad music. Just kidding

Today I went with my dad, stepmom, and sister to Disney World for my last day. We first went to MGM Studios and tried to get fastpasses for 2 rides but you can only get one at a time now! Not cool, so we went to Epcot instead (we have passes) and road Soarin', Test Track, and that space adventure ride.

I had a good last day and I will be sad to leave but I do miss my school friends so I will be glad to see them.

Now I'm overhearing my sister talk about her plans with her friends, apparently she plans to spend the night with 7 friends in her not too terribly big room, o_O

Love and crazy families,
Chelsea

First blog

So, this is my first blog. I thought it would be interesting after reading Kandee Johnson's blog (she's a makeup artist) and I love hers so I thought it would be cool.

I go to school up in North Carolina, I'm a freshman and I hope to study instrumental music performance for violin. I've played for about 7 years. I'm a bit nervous about my audition on the 26th though, and when I get nervous my hands sweat! Definitely NOT a good thing when you play an instrument that requires both hands! Hahahaha.

I just wanted to use this first post and talk about Kandee Johnson whom I've mentioned above. She is more than a makeup artist, she also wants to encourage and inspire others (she inspired me to write this blog!) She is one of the most beautiful people inside and out and she just wants to spread love to everyone. Even though I've never met her personally, I feel that she is a true gift from God and just a rare treasure among this Earth that's filled with hate and sadness and negativity. You can also read her personal blog where she talks about her personal life.

I also wanted to mention that we deal with hurt on an everyday basis, some more than others, and lots of times we deal with this hurt by spreading more hurt to others to make us feel better (I'm guilty of it too unfortunately!). But instead of letting that one person ruin our day we can look past it and say "This is not going to ruin my day, this person doesn't know me, I don't really care about this person so why should I care what they have to say?" or "If this person was a real friend they really wouldn't say stuff like that so I don't need this." and just keep thinking happy thoughts.

I used to be a pretty bad tempered person when I was younger and often I would say mean things to people to make myself feel better if I was having a bad day, but I've matured and mellowed out a lot and I don't get angry as often and I'm much more positive than I used to be. I'm definitely NOT perfect, I still am mean sometimes and don't do or say the nicest things sometimes but I always apologize if something is my fault.

Apologizing can be difficult too, people I know have either had trouble or still have trouble apologizing when something is their fault. I get it, it's hard sometimes! But sometimes we have to be patient with people. Lots of times I would apologize to someone when nothing was my fault JUST because I wanted to end the fight or whatever was going on, but now I wait for them because they have to learn to do it themselves.

Now I'm going to end this long lecture of a first blog. I hope it was somewhat interesting! If not then sorry it was so boring!
Love and violins
