October will be fabulous

Happy Fall everyone! Or should I say, happy pumpkin spice latte season! Whatever you call it, that beautiful time of the year is here, leaves are changing colors faster than I can change my outfit for the night! In all honesty, fall has always been my favorite season, theres just so much happiness in the crisp air. It makes me want to go to a pumpkin patch, decorate the house, and go trick-or-treating (yeah so what if i'm twenty). But I know this fall will be spectacular, i have barn-dance coming up, a family dinner with all my Kappas, Halloween, HOCUS POCUS SEASON!!!! and my birthday of course! But I knew there was just going to be something to top it all (yes, even better than Hocus Pocus)...
I went to bed last night thinking, "tomorrow is going to be a phenomenal day". I couldn't tell you what made me think that, or why tomorrow was going to be a day to put in the books- but i just had that feeling. Well, I had the luxury of sleeping in late (didn't quite make it to kickboxing class this morning.. sleeping was a priority) and I woke up and read my e-mails like normal. But one of them stood out, it was from the advisor in the Journalism program at Iowa, it's subject: School of Journalism acceptance decision. Well, holy shit- this is my life on the line! I clicked open, and there it was- the one word every college kid wait's for (ok probably not, but still)- "Congratulations!" I'M IN THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM AND MASS COMMUNICATIONS! I could not be more ecstatic, obviously look at all those capital letters, that means business! Hopefully I'll be reporting live from the Olympics in 2020 where I'll meet Michael Phelps and he'll fall madly in love with me. Yes, it is practical.

However, in other news: This weekend I told a man selling glow sticks to "light up the world", and I had a rap battle with my co-worker (who also was just accepted to SJMC! You go Glen Cocoa!). Successful weekend, I would say. Also, today in lecture my stalker told the whole class that he doesn't believe in marriage or true love. So... am I off the work? Or should I still lock my bedroom door at night?

Thank you, Dad.

Although there are millions of men and women who deserve endless amounts of praise and thanks for all that they have done for our country, there is one special guy I'd like to thank especially. My dad. It's been years since the man has seen combat, or even been in the cock-pit of his most prized Huey Helicopter, but that hasn't stopped him from sharing his memories with me. Ironically the idiot joined the Marine Corps on a dare by his college roommates, but that dare turned into something much more than a whim.  After more than a decade spent serving our country, my father left the Corps as a Major, and would be one of the highest ranked Marines today if it weren't for me. My dad gave up his career in the military so I wouldn't have to move from place to place, fighting to fit in and becoming detached from society. My dad gave up so much to simply be my dad, and that's something I will never be able to express my complete gratitude for.  My dad i...

Sam Ponder is just too Cool

If there's one thing I want to be in life, besides the co-host of Good Morning America, I want to be the next Sam Ponder . She's incredibly talented, creative, real, and she married seemingly the most perfect human specimen on the planet. I had to write a profile on someone in sports media, and obviously I chose this cool chick. Check it out, even if you don't know who she is, I can guarantee you that you'll want to be her best friend.  So here's to you Sam Ponder, if I ever get the chance to meet you I'll for sure bring some Arby's and an ugly sweater. 5 Reasons Samantha Ponder is not Living in Erin Andrews’ Shadow Erin Manfull She’s the sideline reporter for ESPNU College GameDay, she hosts ESPNU pregame, game, and post game events, she’s beautiful, she’s blonde, and she’s not Erin Andrews. Sam Ponder may have replaced the iconic ESPNU sideline reporter, Erin Andrews, but she’s on track to separate herself from A...

Why we can learn from our dogs.

Beyoncé once asked, "Who run the world?", and she then answered for all of us when she obviously said, "Girls"...I mean it's true, we (as a collective gender) gave birth to the world. However, I think Queen Bey forgot something very important when it comes to people, and those who rule it--it would be impossible to run anything if you didn't have (hu)man's best friend by your side. Not only do dogs selflessly provide us with something to pet and keep us warm at night, but they provide us with undeniable and unrelenting love and affection. It would be pretty lonely ruling the world without a dog there to put a little pep into your step. It seems silly, really, that dogs don't get any credit for making the world a better place. It also seems silly that I'm even thinking about dogs ruling the world (hey, that's not a horrible idea). But I think there's some value into considering that while humans can change a dogs life, it's just as...
