"Life is not a fairytale. If you want something, you have to fight for it."

-Taylor Shields

Live. Love. Laugh.

Every day, we take chances.

From the moment you walk out your front door, anything could happen..

Hit by a car, randomly shot, mugged or raped or struck by a lightning bolt.

There's also the chance of you getting any form of cancer, having a heart attack or being diagnosed with a disease that you may have never even heard of.

What I'm getting at, is that we're all going to die.

Most of us assume that we'll grow old and die of old age. We'll have fulfilled all of our dreams, have four grand-children and have a cute old husband or wife by our side.

Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

Criminals exist. Incurable diseases exist. Natural disasters exist.

And there's nothing we can do about that.

What you can do, though, is live everyday like it's your last.

Remind the people you love that you love them, everyday.

Don't live with regrets.

Work towards achieving your goals.

Live your life to the fullest.

"Live it up today, because you may never see tomorrow."

This post may sound morbid, but that wasn't my intention.

Yesterday, I realized how short life can be.. And I would hate to leave this world without letting the people I love know how much they have shaped me into who I am today.

With that being said, I want to give a huge thanks to all of my friends, my family, and to Matt. ♥

Random late night post.

It's almost 3am and I'm not really tired.

I'm singing some Dallas Green and thinking about life.

No, I am not drunk.

Random thought: I can't wait to go back to school.. It's weird, when you're in school, you can't wait until summer. You think that working and doing nothing is going to be AMAZING. But after three weeks of this "amazingness," you get sick of it (well, I do/did) and now I can't wait to go back and learn.

God, I'm such a nerd.

My favourite part about going back to school is school shopping - not for clothes, but for school supplies! Binders and pens and paper and an agenda and all that dorky stuff. :)

Two and a half more months! (Because I move back on August 17th for RA training).

So. Stoked.

Goodnight!

Love.

I've been sick for two weeks..

It sucks.

Oh, and it seems like every single time I finish blowing my nose (which is often, by the way), I sneeze. Then I have to blow it again. WHY?! haha.

Anyways, I went to the library today and got three new books. Lev, I got one called "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner (It's not about sex, promise :P). But anyways, I've only read the first page and I can already tell that I'm gonna like it, so if you want, check it out! :)

Time for me to go to work..

Love.

Earthquake? Wha?!

My friend Anna's washing machine often makes loud noises when it's too full, so this afternoon, as we were watching One Tree Hill, we assumed that the unusual sound we hear was that. After about a millisecond, we turned to each other and freaked out. Her little sister was in the basement with us, and she said "DOOR WAY!" literally 30 times. Anna held both of us as we stood under the door frame and pretty much cried. I thought I was going to die.

Hahaha. We're amazing.

Once it was over, we ran outside to see if anybody else was freaking out. Nobody. We went to her neighbours, and she was super chill about it.

A few minutes later though, that same neighbour ran into Anna's house and was panicking because both cell phones and land lines weren't working. Cell phones didn't start working properly until about an hour afterwards.

Anyways, long story short, a 5.0 (originally dubbed a 5.7) magnitude hit pretty much all of Central Ontario - North Bay, Ottawa, Toronto, and (I know this isn't in Ontario) Montreal.

It's funny to see how we reacted when these things happen in other countries around the world every day. But I'm definitely glad I got to witness that, cause it definitely doesn't happen around here very often (and hopefully it stays that way).

Love.

Fat ass at heart.

Tonight I decided to go to gym. I went for about an hour. I felt good.

When I got home, after my shower though, guess what I did..

I ate!

Ice cream and a half of a slice of pizza. Bahaha.

Best part is, I don't even care.

Here's my logic: I probably would have eaten that anyway, so at least I went to the gym to cancel the junk food out :)

I think I'll always be fat, but I'm okay with that!

Love.

Life Updates!

I apologize for being M.I.A. pretty much since summer started. I'll try to hop back on the blogging wagon and get some posts up!

Work has been pretty crazy because one of our receptionists quit, which means that her best friend that works with me did too. Therefore, we are only seven people now instead of nine. Because of that, I'm working a boatload, and am closing every day but one this week. Great. That was sarcastic, but it won't be once I get my paycheck :)

Apart from that, I've been hanging out with friends! I took Matt out for his birthday dinner on Thursday, and we came back to my place and had some cake & ice cream and watched "Shutter Island" afterwards. If you haven't seen it yet, it's pretty good until the end. We were both kind of like... WTF. Those kinds of movies are kind of disappointing, but this one had a pretty good twist. I don't really know what I'm saying, so I'm gonna stop talking about it now!

On Friday night, I took Matt go-karting with a few of our friends. It was my first time and I had a really good time! The place we went to apparently isn't the best, but it was outside, so that was cool. About ten minutes in I totally lost control of my wheel and went through some grass, then back on to the track. I was so confused, haha. Afterwards, we went to one of our friends' place and played some old school Nintendo on a projector outside, then went to a bar that we used to go to years ago.

Yesterday, I went to go visit my grandfather in the hospital for Father's Day. He got transfered to a hospital that is known as the one where people go to die.. Kind of upsetting. It's weird, he looks like a different man.. Like, physically. Not only because he's tired and in pain, but I don't even know how to explain it. He just looks different.

There's my little update!

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do for my fourth year. Matt told me yesterday that he's probably going to be staying in Toronto the summer to fourth year.. I'm not entirely sure what to do. I mean, I'd obviously survive if we didn't live in the same city for a summer, but he got me thinking that maybe that's what I should be doing too, just because it's true - you gotta think two steps ahead if you want to get somewhere in life. But then there's the money issue, and all that good stuff.

This post is going to be far too long, so I'm gonna cut it here.

Hope everybody is doing well!

I'll post some more soon, promise! ♥

Love.
