Lists!!!!

are disorganized?? do you live a crazy, hectic lifestyle? are you a college student?....If you answered yes to any of the above questions then it seems as though you need some organization in your life! I have my moments when I can be lazy and not seem to care about anything, however for the most part I like my life to be as organized as possible!! now, you don't have to get as crazy as I do when it comes down to organizing your life, but I can try to give you some helpful tips to making your life a little less crazy and a lot more organized.
some of the things you might need:
- highlighters
- post its
- note pad
these are just some because, like I said you might not want to go all out like I do. Every week I make a list of what goals I want to achieve for the upcoming week. I set my standards high and then categorize them. some of my categories include: school goals, work goals, personal/ health goals, and household/ chore goals. I like to separate them, this way if I do not reach all my weekly goals by Sunday I know what category I need to work more on, or less on the upcoming week.
I usually make my lists on Sunday nights. I get my note pad and highlighters and break down my categories and reflect. I think of the week that has passed and think of how I can strengthen my goals to make myself better. each category is a different color therefore when I reach or achieve a goal I can cross it off and I know exactly what category it came from. once you get into it, it kind of gets fun (either that, or I am just plain crazy OCD haha). I love my lists and they help me so I do not slack off during the week in any category.
this is what a mock up of my lists would look like
goals for the week of Feb. 24- 30
school
-go to every class
-finish my paper before it is due
-revise my paper
-talk to counseling about graduation!
work
-create 5 new and exciting art projects
-get books on zoo animals
-think of a new science experiment that the kids will love
personal/ health
-go to the gym at least 4 times
-bet my time on the treadmill
-try a new machine
-squat down a little further
-eat more salad
household/ chores
-clean my room
-put my clothes away
-start making my bed every morning
-do laundry
*****remember this is just a mock up of what some of my goals would look like*****
you can change anything the way you want to, however it is your list and your life that you want to organize. One of the things I have focused on a lot is the gym. as some may have read in my first blog of the new year, I have taken up a new lifestyle and I am proud to say that I am sticking to it and have yet to give up!! working up and eating healthy has cleared my mind and has helped me become more organized with my life. it has also helped me stay focused. I know where my mellow place is and I know how to get there and use it to my advantage. I take deep breathes and calm down before a stressful situation can get me down.
organizing your life can help in many ways and I encourage you to try it if you are seeing that your life needs to be cleaned up a bit.
*****AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS/ COMMENTS/ TIPS OF YOUR OWN/ OR NEED MY HELP WITH ANYTHING....COMMENT BELOW PLEASEEEEE*****

First, I want to start blogging more! I have been here and there with my thoughts and finally I realized I want to keep blogging! I go to school and work full time and have an insane family so I have a lot to blog about. The time is the tricky part. I feel like sometimes I need to schedule in time to breath in my schedule. But I will make time for blogging ;) scouts honor (even though I was never a scout)
Second, I have recently taken up a new lifestyle change and have become quite obsessed. I have started working out and eating healthy and I feel awesome.

BIGGGGGG BROTHERRRRRR

So.... One of my favorite summer shows is Big Brother. This is season 15 and quite frankly I have become somewhat obsessed with the drama and cast of this season. The show has only been on for 3 weeks now and there has already been so much drama inside the house, and because of some of the house guests actions the drama has made headlines and have cause somewhat of a controversy in the Big Brother community. I have been a fan of the show for 5 or 6 seasons now and I have never been this interested in the cast like I am with this one. If you have never seen the show it is a competition show.  16 strangers come into a house for the summer and compete for various powers in the house. The house guests make alliances, they lie, cheat, create showmances, back stab, and betray. The house guests compete to be head of household. The HOH gets a private room and power for a week. The HOH must nominate 2 house guests to put of the block. The two house guests must fight to stay in the house but only one can stay. The power of veto is the next competition where the HOH, the two nominees, and 3 other house guests fight to win the pov. The pov winner has the power to either keep nominees the same or pull one if the two nominees off the block. If they choose to pull someone off the block the HOH must replace that nominee with a different houseguest. During the live show each houseguest, excluding the HOH goes into a separate room(diary room) to place their vote on who they want to evict from the big brother house. The HOH can only vote in the event of a tie. Other completions they compete in are have/have not which is a food competition. If you are a have not you a forced to sleep in horrible conditions in a terrible room in the house. You must also take cold showers only and eat slop. Needless to say it does not seem fun to have to be a have not. Other than other details here and there that sums up the show. Each season there is a twist to keep the cast on their feet. This season there is house guest who wins MVP each week. If you win MVP you must select a 3rd nominee. Also as MVP you have the power to choose the replacement for the pov comps. So far this season there has been racism, slander, bullying, and just straight up horrible attitudes on the show. If you are a fan of the show I would like to hear your option on the show and the recent drama that has been blowing up in the house. If you want to check out the show and find out what it is about for yourself you can go to CBS.com and select big brother. If you become as obsessed as I have you can also go under the live feed tab and subscribe to 24/7 access to the house. The first 48 hours are free. I will make a blog tomorrow about some of the drama that has been going on in the season(which is a lot) even though the season basically just started. This cast for sure is making for good tv and is definitely setting new highs with ratings. If that was their goal going into the house then I must say they have done a job well done, I must also say if so much dram has been unleashed this early on in the game I can just imagine what is in store for the rest of the season. I want your feed back and questions. Don't be scared to comment your opinion because I for sure want to hear what you think of the show(if you watch it) if you don't you should give it a try :) until tomorrow..... Kisses~ Brittani

Samantha

A good friend of mine and fellow blogger...well actually my "little sister" has given her audience a task, a challenge if you will. She challenged people to watch all seasons of Sex In The City. I decided to take the challenge and revisit my love for the show. I wanted to really try to understand each character while watching the show this time around to see how my option has changed about the girls or to see if they have even changed at all. One of the characters I criticized a lot was Samantha. While watching the show years ago I labeled her as sex driven and slutty but re watching the show this time around I have come to see her as more. While she may still be the most sexually active female on the show she is also one of the most successful females as well. Samantha tells it like it is and as much as she can be a bit much, many people seem to wish they had the strength to say the things she says out loud. Putting the sex driven, horny female aside and focusing on her career and who she is, it is clear that she is very outspoken and does what she wants. She is very impulsive and is not afraid to speak her mind. Many woman only desire to have some of these qualities. Samantha knows what she wants and goes for it. Some woman may call her bitchy but I think she is a wild, spunky, successful woman who knows exactly what she wants and for the most part, gets it! What are your thoughts on the character of Samantha and if you really think about it, do you think your option can change the way mine did? I would love to hear your thoughts :)  kisses~ Brittani
