Happy Valentine's Day Suckaaaa's

- Happy Valentine's Day. Ahh who am I kidding? Valentine's Day sucks. There's no doubt about it. Everyone is running around advertising, and announcing their love and guaranteeing their eternal emotion and devotion for one another. It makes me sick to my stomach. I honestly believe if someone genuinely cared and was concerned about you. You would see and hear it more often than once a year. I mean think about it, every year, you're presented with a cheap box of chocolates, CVS flowers, and a .99 cent Valentine card picked by the blind. Is it just a cover up for all the wrong doings in the relationship? Don't get me wrong. I am not a single woman grilling everyone else who is dating. I'm just being me: real. I someone to love me based upon their personal choice and feelings, not because some heart shaped holiday card sponsored by Hallmark forced them. Anyways, hope everyone enjoyed their day. <3

What's the Big Deal?

- "Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light ... Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight ... And the star- spangled banner in triumph shall wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" We've all heard these words before.  It is traditionally played at the beginning of public sports events and orchestral concerts in the United States, as well as other public gatherings. This year it was sung during Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration. The National Anthem is often criticized for the way it's sung, whether done bad, or lip synced. Unfortunately Beyoncé was a victim of lip syncing. Word spread like wild fire through radio play, and he say, she say, which eventually led to a press conference about whether she did it or not. She was more than happy to admit to it and was satisfied with her performance. I personally didn't understand the dramatics over if she did it and why. We've all witnessed Beyoncé sing hundreds of time without lip syncing and she sounds astounding each and every time, so what's the big deal? She's proven her credibility more than once. People seem to never be satisfied. So may I ask again, what's the big deal? 

Freezinggg in the Rain..

- What’s up with the weather in Virginia lately? Relaxing in the warm sun on Monday, putting on our rain boots, warm clothes, coats, and opening umbrellas on Tuesday, by Wednesday one would think it’s Christmas morning, and by Thursday, everyone is sick. And what’s even more bizarre is the fact we (myself, and the other residential students here at Richard Bland College) have to walk to class regardless. Imagine walking in 18 degree weather for over 10 minutes to go to a pointless class that only last 50 minutes. The only thing that would come out of that experience is a red nose and a slight cold afterwards. Commuters have the advantage to come and go as they please, and crank the heat up as we freeze. I strongly believe that either we, the residential students get to drive to class or even use some of that good old tuition to invest in “E- Z Up’s” which are basically shelters to protect from the rain or snow during an event, but in this case while we’re walking to class. Matter of fact I have a better idea, run shuttle buses on campus to pick us up and drop us off every 15 like downtown bus lines. Until then, I guess it’s just take the risk of getting sick, or just not show up to class today. Which would you choose?
