TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM

Okay,
I have a new story to share with the lot of you.  Recently, I have just gotten out of a thing that was almost a relationship and afterwards I had a huge crush on this guy from my favorite country, Belgium.  The thing is, I have two friends who also have a crush on him.  One of the girls is British with African decent and the other girl is American with Mexican decent.  Since I have had previous problems with friends and boys, I decided to lie and say that I do not have a crush on this guy to his face and allow one of my friends to have him.  I have never in my life done this and it is stuck in my head because I lied and also allowed potential bae to slip through my fingers.  Basically, the guy doesn't like my african decent friend, but he wants to have a sex-fling type of thing with the Mexican decent girl.  I thought that I was in denial because I like him, but I say that I don't. I can only tell the truth here on this blog because no one important (a.k.a. not from my uni) actually reads this blog, not that I know of, that is.  So I feel bad because I have basically given away one of my most fond crushes away. I have done this in the past and I still constantly feel like I have lost the love of my life because I never tried with him.  Similar things are happening now and I feel like I am repeating the past.  It's amazing because I have great conversations with this guy and we have grown closer these past few weeks. I enjoy the banter that we have and also how we make fun of each other, but at the same time it is flirtatious.  With the other girls I don't see the same interaction.  This interaction is only with me so I am going through this feeling where I feel like I have messed up and I want to fix it, but I can't because I have strong doubts that he wouldn't even remotely be into me anyways.  I am not sure, but I am going to try to ride this out and not think about it which is basically avoiding the situation.  I have no strong advice except follow your gut and do not fear possibilities even if they seem impossible to you they may not be.  The worst thing to do is to not try and give up because in the end, you wonder 'what if?'  that is the worst feeling to have, even worst than rejection.  Even with rejection, there is a form of conclusion and closure to move on instead of the way I feel where I have no clue and I am confused.

Sincerely,

I LOVE MY COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY CLASSES

Okayyyyy, this post will be short and sweet with a little romance to kindle the moods for anyone curious about syllabus week of college/university.  For this semesters classes, I endured two classes on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, three classes on Wednesday, and one class on Friday.  Mondays and Wednesdays are my favorite, not because of the classes, but because of who is in them.  I will come back to the who after I finish the what.  The classes seem relaxed and chill, but that makes sense since I am a communications major.  The work is actually easier than high school and more interesting than extracurriculars, which is saying something.  Ok, now onto the "romance."  I met this guy the third day of orientation week because he helped my mother bring the rest of my bags to my room.  My mother thought she saw a spark in his eye when he saw me.  I think my mother is hilarious.  Just for the record, almost every guy at my university is extremely attractive.  So this same guy is in one of my classes that meet Mondays and Wednesdays, which explains my love for those days.  So we kind of formed a bond in the second class this past Wednesday and the following Thursday I received the biggest hug of all time.  A hug literally means nothing, but this was the first hug from that I received from a guy in a very long time and also it was from a guy that I genuinely appreciated (the crush is starting to form).  I literally cannot stop thinking about that hug.  IT WAS JUST A HUG..., but it was warm and comfortable and lovely.  Needless to say, I am excited for Monday.  I don't want to get my hopes up, but I can't help myself.  My advice is to not feel like all of the guys in college/university want sex because not all of them do.  You just have to look in the right place for the right guy and even then you may not find a guy like that in your first year anyway.

Sincerely,
True predictions!

P.S.  Keep updated because we (including myself) would love to see how that romance kindles or dies out throughout my college/university experience.

BOYS IN UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE

Hello all,

This is just going to be an overview of the characteristics I first noticed when I encountered a boy in either college or university.  I have experience in both America and Europe because I am an American going to an international university in Britain.

First, boys from anywhere in the world in their first year of higher education look for the same thing from girls.  You do have to remember that only three months earlier these same boys were in high school/secondary school.  They have not changed drastically from the beginning of summer to now.  Just because the age qualifies these BOYS as "men," does not mean there has been a revelation where stupid becomes intelligent.  Of course there are exceptions to these terms!

Second, boys can be extremely smooth, especially in Europe.  They seem nice and sweet and caring, but trust and believe nothing can come from this in the first year of higher education.

Lastly, try not to bring a boy to your room...unless you want them there for extra curricular activities that involve gender equality and immersion.  I hope you understand what I mean.  Prepare for some kind of action if you bring back a boy to your room alone.

Luckily for me, I have not done any of these things, but I know many people who are highly knowledgable in this subject.  My advice is to just be safe in all of your decisions and put yourself in the mind of these sexually charged wieners in order to think straight and understand.

Sincerely,
True Predictions!

MEETING PEOPLE IN UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE

Soooooo, I have started college and it is now two days into orientation.  Not saying that I am an expert or anything, but I have tips on how to meet people when you enter university or college.  I did not do these things, which is why I am writing a blogpost on a night when everyone is going out.

Tip #1:
Do not have a single room!

I thought that having the extra privacy would affect nothing.  I was wrong, the privacy at the beginning of a new school experience makes it harder to make friends.  If you do have a single dorm room then make sure to get out and go places.

Tip #2:
Make sure your parents leave ASAP!

The parents hinder you from doing anything and everything.  Try to get them moving along at the first opportunity possible.  It was especially hard for me because my mother is like my best friend and when I was without her I was uncomfortable, but that feeling of AWKWARD will go away once you meet friends.  So get over the awkward feeling of being alone because everyone feels that way and you are not special.

Tip #3:
Say hi!

Literally say hi, hello or something to everyone and anyone.  I personally only did this twice and because of it I have friends...I think.  People receive communication well unless they are mentally ill, but then again they usually don't mind because it is inevitable.  For me saying hi was hard.  I am an introvert when it comes to meeting new people not because I don't like meeting people or because I am afraid, but because I like solitude just as much as socializing.

Tip #4:
Explore!

You should explore both your campus and the area around your campus so that if any situation were to occur you are prepared for the worst.  I am not a fan of surprises so this helped me a lot.  I was able to go into the city and also wander around campus with all my free time being a lonely university student with no friends and family gone.

Tip #5:
Always have your phone!

People love to hand out their number during the this awkward start to the school chapter.  So make sure you have a phone to give that info.  Another reason is because when you are alone you can (watch me) whip that phone out (that previous parenthesis was referencing the song) and pretend that you were doing something important and that you have a life somewhere on the internet.

I don't know why I am giving these tips and not following them even though I could use them?  I am sitting in the common room with three other girls to my left watching a movie and I refuse to acknowledge their presence.  Seriously I won't even look at them because...

I am also one of the youngest in my university where everyone is over 18 easily as a freshman.  I did manage to meet a really cute guy because my mom got his help bringing my bags to my room.  She is literally my wing-woman.  He later said hi to me and remembered my face.  I died a little inside.

In all honesty, you can't mess up your first days of college with all of the activities most universities and colleges provide all you have to do is be yourself and live and learn.

Sincerely,
True Predictions!

Rushing Through Love

...I have no excuse for not posting in so long. I do have a life...sorta. I'm about to give some advice that I should have taken for myself a long time ago. I am going to share my journal entry from last week:

I have never truly loved a boy to my fullest potential. Obviously because I'm a teenager and another reason is because I know what I want. The guys I have encountered so far have not given me what I want so I play along in their little games to gain experience in being a teenager. In all actuality, I want someone in my future who can provide for me but still allows me to grow and be my own. Someone who can travel the world with me and not want children but at the same time have fun. Idk that's just what I want. 

Now I just wrote this to get it off my chest, but look at it.  I mean LOOK AT IT! This is legitness xD I wrote some deep stuff even though I am not very sentimental. My advice is to not rush love because what you want will come in time. I never understood this cause I've practically been single my entire life, but it's okay because the time will come when it comes. So yea I'm done and I will be posting more this summer.

Life and Boys Of Course

My absence is in my sincerest of apologies.  Life has been CRAZY since school started and now it is my job to fill in my lovely strangers on the events that occurred.  To start, I fancy a whole new kind of boy, but shit got real today. I say new kind because this boy is gorgeous and liked by all. At first, I thought I had a chance because I've gotten close to dating a dude out of my league. Apparently his best friend likes me and my nemesis that is dating one of my closest friends used to like him. I shall mention that that supposed friend no longer talks to me because of this chick. 

Now back to this boy that I now adore. We shall call him B for my security and sanity. He thinks that his friend likes me and that I like his friend, but in fact I like B not his friend. Since he thinks I like his friend, I am almost completely sure that I have no chance with him because guys don't believe in doing that whole "dating a friend's crush" deal. I will be single forever. I feel like there is no hope for me. I'm dying inside. Since this is an update, I have no advice. I have learned nothing about life, only about school and studying, but that is for another post in the future.

Peace out,

True Predictions!

DEFINITION OF A POTENTIAL THIRST TRAP

I am literally sitting here with my butt crack hanging out of my pants, no bra, and a large tee-shirt on.  I have not a care in the world anymore.  I am going to make this year the best year ever.  Well to start off with my FANTASTIC year, I developed a crush on a freshman, worst decision of my life and that will never happen again.  Then to kick it off right after that, I developed a crush on a sophomore.  That lasted a good week until my third crush developed on a hot junior boy.  I have completely forgotten this crush until now LOL.  I have become a thirst trap WAITING to happen.  It is like I have love at first sight for every cute single guy that walks in my path.  It is like I have no remorse in choosing a suitable high school boyfriend or maybe I have gone completely mad.  These are the things I asked myself until the other day.  I had completely pushed him aside.  I had completely ignored him and tried my hardest to forget him and throw him into the past.  It is as if every time I think that he is gone and I will never have to deal with him again he pops back into my life, my mind, and my thoughts...just like that.  This has been happening for years.  The same guy that is in basically all of my posts, the same guy that is in my text messages to friends, the same guy that I have had an on-again-off-again crush for most of my pubescent school days IS BACK.  I do not know if he is hear to stay or if he will actually disappear for good.  I do not like this whole "I don't know" thing that I have going on.  There has to be some reason why the heavenly Lord has continuously brought him back into my life...

Sincerely,
True Predictions!
