Tattoos

Tattoos are becoming more and more common with our generation. Especially in my area and my age group it seems that everyday someones getting one. This is something that was considered a horrible thing to do in the time our parent's grew up. Only "convicts" and "bikers" had tattoo's. As the times change this is something that is not true anymore.My parents were always against the idea of their kids getting tattoos. And as all my cousins began to do it they became more understanding of it. & i have to admit that i have one I got my tattoo on my ankel. Everyone I told said it would absolutely kill,They told me things like that I would have to hold my breathe while he was tattooing me and they discouraged me to do it.I shouldn't have believed the hype, it did not hurt as much as I thought it would have. I can't say that I enjoyed the experience. I don't think anyone would enjoy being stabbed with needles over and over again for a half hour, but don't believe the hype. If you are considering a tattoo but are hesitating because of the pain, I would encourage you to go for it. I got a a heart with a C in the middle, which is something that meant a lot to me. It means a lot to me because i made the guy trace over my grandmothers C that she makes so now i always carry a piece of her with me

Christmas shopping .. What to get ?

during christmas the only thing on peoples minds is what do i get them for a present. everyone is so concerned with getting someone the best christmas present. and i will agree it is a very hard thing to do. but everyone makes it way to important anywhere you go in the months of november to december is what do you think i should get so and so for christmas.

Family

my family is a very close family, and over a year and a half ago my aunt and her three kids have moved to florida. this has been very hard for my family because we were always at their house since they lived upstairs from my grandmothers house. so it was expected that everytime you went to my grandmothers house and run into my aunt and one of her kids. last christmas it was very different because she wasn't here to celebrate it with us. but this christmas she is flying down because she realized how important the holiday is to our family. and she doesnt want her kids to not take part in the family traditions that we have and carry on. so i am counting down the days until december 19th !

Break

I cannot wait for winter break because since has been my first semester in college i have barely had time to myself. so this break will give me a ton of time to myself which is much needed. I never realized that college was going to be so stresseful and filled with so much work as this semester was. next semester i will be in all different classes though which is exciting because i want to venture out a little more and see what i like and how i can handle certain classes. and who knows maybe something i thought i wouldnt like i will turn out to love. we'll just have to wait till january to see how everything turns out. also i can't wait for my friends from highschool to come home for a whole month so i can see them. i know we just had thanksgiving break but it was only a few days now they will be home for a whole month which is a lot longer then five days.

Christmas

You can smell it in the air christmas is just around the corner. now i know since im eighteen years old i shouldn't love christmas as much as i do but i can't help it. i love christmas because i love how my family gets together christmas morning to have christmas breakfast. this is a tradition that was started way before i or any of my cousins were born and my mom and her brothers and sisters have carried it on to us. last christmas was the first time that we were missing one of the families because they had moved back to florida but this year their coming back just for christmas which is very exciting because the last time i have seen them was in june so its been a while. also this year will be different too because my cousins and i will be doing most of the cooking this year. because our main chef is undergoing a very important surgery so we are trying to give him less work to do while he is recovering so theres less stress for him. overall i just love christmas because it just brings out the good in many people if you never noticed that.

New Semester

My feelings towards ending this semester are mixed. half of me is excited to be moving onto other classes but then i am also sad because i am nervous about how my new classes will turn out to be. I'm starting to wonder if my classes are going to be filled with new people and are very challanging or if they aren't as challanging as i expected them to be. I hope that they will help me decide what i would like to be so by the end of this year i can declare my major. when i first started college i wanted to be a nurse but now since my classes in psychology i am leaning more towards social services. Next semester i will be taking my core classes as math english 1100 religion and discover New York i will also be taking another psychology class which i am very excited for.

The Dark Knight

Even since the summer when i had seen the movie The Dark Knight i had been counting down the days till the movie comes out on dvd. This movie was one of the best movies i have seen in theatres in a while. Even since i was little i was always obessed with the movie batman and this new addition to the collection has made the obsession grow. When i found out the movie was coming out on December 9th i have been counting down the days. I cannot wait to have the movie for myself so i can watch it whenever i want.
