This is a Deep Blog Post (AKA Considering Changing Majors)

I've literally changed my major so many times, it's laughable. But for the first time, in a long time, I think I decided that I want to change my major again.

It's ridiculous but I'm actually thinking of changing from Public Relations (the major that I always seem to go back to) to Social Work.

Reasons to Change:

- What the heck am I going to do with a degree in Public Relations? I literally have no idea. I really don't want to end up working in an office with a bunch of paper work, and that's it.

- My ultimate goal with social work would be to do marriage/family counseling. I know this may sound silly, as I'm only 19, but I really am interested in how to keep a relationship and family afloat. Since I was young, I always have looked into deeper reasons as to why my own parents relationship failed, and I love learning about the relationships between siblings. I am an only child, and I always wonder how I would have been different if I had a sibling.

- I really want to help people. I love to talk to people to make them feel better.

- I want to be able to work wherever I end up living. I don't really want to move to, like, New York City as I would have to if I decided to stick with Public Relations (Because I'd want to work in fashion or music).

Any advice would be appreciated. alkdfjoiadufl.a,skdjf

Happiness & Things I Bought

So the guy I've been dating was gone all last week, on a family vacay.

It really didn't hit me how much he meant to me, until he was gone.
I found myself sitting in my house, really missing him.
I'm falling for him, that's for dang sure.
On Sunday night, we went to see The Dark Knight Rises.
When I got into his car, there was a little bag on the seat. I really didn't think much of it, and put it on the middle console of his truck, while I continued asking him about his vacation in Orlando.
Then, when I finally stopped rambling, he picked up the bag, and sorta nervously said "This is for you."
I opened it up and found this adorable necklace inside! 

(The ring is separate, but I've been wearing both everyday since). 

Is it not completely adorable!?!

I love that it's one of those necklaces that the thread wears out, your wish comes true! 

That being said, I have 3 wishes:

1. I want my grandma to be healthy.

Monday, dad and I went to the doctor with my grandma, and they're going to perform surgery to take out, what they believe to be a tumor, on her ovaries. It's scary because she has emphysema, from smoking in her younger years. That being said, the surgery is quite risky, and she could be in recovery for up to 6 weeks. 

2. I want Sorority Recruitment week to get here all ready!

I'm ridiculously nervous about this! It's over a month away, but I am already planning outfits and what nail color I will wear, and how I will wear my hair. It's so nerve racking. But I'm just hoping I get in to the right sorority for me :)

3. I want Boy who gave me this necklace to be all mine.

Seriously... I'm obnoxious. But I really am falling for him... hard.

I can see myself with him for a long time to come...

Today

I found this at the bookstore, and thought it was cute. So I took a picture.

I bought these books at said bookstore. Yes, I bought into the craze. But I also need reading for the cruise I'm going on next week!

Then I bought these at Sally's!

I lost my teasing brush last year, and really felt like I needed a new one.

I also needed the purple cuticle pusher, because I'm giving myself manicures basically every other day.

And finally, I bought a China Glaze nail polish in "Pelican Gray" :)

That's all for now everybody!

It's Okay Thursday!

This is my first time linking up for It's Okay Thursday!

So here goes nothing:

It's Okay:

... To have gotten straight bangs today. (Taking a leap with my hair is a very good thing).

... To hope that the guy I'm dating gets to meet my family tomorrow! 

... And to be totally nervous/excited for it :)

... To order the most expensive thing on the menu because Daddy's paying (Kidding!! We split the meal!)

... To give myself daily manicures.

... To not tidy up my room every single day. 

... To have no clue what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. And to figure that out when the time comes.

... To be excited that I'll be going on a cruise in a week and a half (but to be sad too, because I'm missing a lot of friends).

... To not be ready to go back to college in a little over a month. (Really, where did the time go, Summer?! ) 

If You Really Knew Me

Since I have seen this on basically every blog, I decided to join the band wagon :) 

If you really knew me, you'd know: 

- I have one of the most obnoxiously high pitched voices of life. (Okay, it might not really be that bad, but it can be annoying.) And I have a loud laugh.

- My two favorite genres of music are country and post-hardcore. Yes, you read that right. If Jonny Craig and Luke Bryan did a concert together, I would be the happiest girl on the planet.

Jonny Craig

Luke Bryan

- I have an 18 inch scar down my back. I had scoliosis surgery in 8th grade, and was out of school for a month. Yada yada yada. It just looks cool and I tell people I don't need plastic surgery, because I already had metal surgery ;)

- I order Venti Skinny Vanilla Lattes at Starbucks. Yummy in my tummy.

- I'm an only child and my parents divorced when I was 6. Like any child of divorce, I could write a long sappy story of woe. I won't. It wasn't that bad and it's made me who I am today.

- I have panic disorder. I like teaching people about it. I've had many panic attacks, one so bad that the ambulance was called on my behalf during band practice...

-... Speaking of band practice: I was in color guard in high school. We placed at state and all that, it's how I met two of my best friends.

- I'm a hopeless romantic. I may have met my soulmate, but he might not know it yet. Anywho, I can't wait to get married. And not in a way that I want to rush my life by, I simply mean I want nothing more than to pledge my love to someone, and commit to them for the rest of life. I want to be the only person in my family to NOT get a divorce.

- I want 4 kids. Mostly because I was an only child and I (in the future) want a noisy, crowded home that's completely full of love.

- I'm a beauty guru. Just kidding, but I spend all my money on makeup. Oh and nail polish. I love nail polish. You will never see me without a manicure (done by yours truly).

- I love driving, yet I hate other drivers. I get very aggressive. Oh well...

- I come from a diverse background. I was baptized in a Methodist church at 3 months old, raised Catholic, converted to Judaism at 6. My step father is Haitian-American. So yes, my step-family is black. Additionally, every member of my dad's family (except my grandma) has tattoos. I love it though, because it taught me to accept others, and never judge a book by its cover :)

- Speaking of religion, I had a bat mitzvah at 15. But I sometimes read the new testament. I don't know what my religion is technically. But I love praying and I am extremely spiritual.

- I have 6 piercings. Regular earrings, one cartilage pierced, my belly button is pierced (re-did this today) and hip dermals.

- I'm addicted to Junior Mints. Like seriously.

- My first car was a '94 Chevy Suburban. His name was Macho Mike. I now have a Nisan Versa I call Vinny. Yes, I'm one of those people who names my cars.


- I have two dogs. Hope (who I've had 5 years, and was rescued through a local agency) and Pierre (who I literally found in my backyard one day, and nursed to health).

l-r: Pierre & Hope

- I never know what I want to be. I have changed my major 3 times. But now I'm back to my original major (Public Relations) and I couldn't be happier about it.

- I love quotes. Like I live by them. I have a journal for them and everything.

- I always carry some water, chapstick, and my phone with me. Everywhere.

Okay, TTFN (ta-ta for now)!

xoxo,

Eileen

Friday Favorites & Letters

Favorite TV Moment

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7 - Reunion Part 1 - Photo Gallery - Bravo TV Official Site

I may have been 14 when The Real Houswives of Orange County first premiered, but I have been a faithful viewer since the beginning. This season, I was glued to my TV to catch every episode. I can't wait for more crazy drama on Monday, with Part 2 of the reunion! 

Favorite Purchase

This is my Lilly Pulitzer Planner in the print, "You Gotta Regatta". My mom actually bought this for me, and I am so in love with it! August can't come soon enough, so I can finally start using my planner! 

Favorite New App

You can pretty much always find me with my iPhone in hand, sometimes I even sleep with it (is that TMI? I don't care). Naturally, I'm always looking for the greatest new app!

Check out Paper'd! (Are you enjoying the noticeable Lilly Pulitzer background on my phone? This is the print, "A Thing Called Love") It's got awesome iPhone wallpapers for lock screen and home screens! 200 come with the free app, but upgrade for only $1.99 and you get 300+ extra wallpapers. It's worth the upgrade, I did it, and they're even cuter than the free version! 

Favorite Tumblr Find

I sent this via text to my boyfriend dude I've been dating and he thought it was so sweet. It's the truth though for me, and he is all 3!

Letters:

Dear T, Thank you for the fun times this past week. I love just hanging out at your house being cute and everything with you. Have fun on your family vacay this coming week! I'm going to miss you a lot. 

Dear Dad, Thanks for putting up with me all summer. Only 5 more weeks to go! Just kidding though, you are really awesome and I would be no where without you.

Dear Mama, I really can't wait to spend this weekend with you in the woods! So exciting! And thank you for your daily texts, you're amazing.

Dear Grandma Joy, Thank you for allowing me to help you clean up your home all summer. It's so much fun finding family treasures, like the family bible :) Also, I've been praying for you every night that the tumor is not cancerous. Monday we find out, and I know Dad will be right by your side. Please don't be sick, I love you and need you. You bring Joy to my life (pun intended, and that is her real name!) 

Dear T's Parents (Mr & Mrs A), Thank you for allowing me to come on family outings. I know your son and I aren't technically boyfriend & girlfriend (at least not yet...) but you and your family have treated me like family. Thanks for bringing me to the movies, and for dinner on Tuesday. I loved gossiping with you, Mrs. A, about Real Housewives. You crack me up! :)

Where have I been?!

Hi lovelies, 


I know I've been M.I.A. for about two weeks! I was up visiting my mom in Fort Walton Beach, FL. I love the beach life up there, as well as spending time with all my family. My grandpa turned 81 on June 30, and we had a great barbeque style dinner for him :) 


I also have been getting more organized and have gone on several shopping hauls. I really need to get a job,  so hopefully once I get back to Tampa for school, I will work on that. I would love to work at Lush or Ulta, but I'll honestly take anything I can get.


I hope you all had a healthy and happy 4th! I'll be writing a lot more, pinky promise.


Love, 
Eileen
