long over due. . .

woah! it is definitely apparent that i've neglected my blog. 'bout time i update whoever does read this about my crazy life. to keep from writing a book, here's a list of some of the things i've been up to, enjoy =) ::

• met so many new people, some of which i've become extremely close to. 
• started hanging out with some old friends that i hadn't seen in ages.
• been visiting my family more, especially my oma. also been calling/texting them more, too.
• went to another concert, 3OH3!, Down With Webster, Neon Hitch && HelloGoodbye to be exact =)
• got my first tattoo!! it says "embrasser vos defauts." ("embrace your flaws" in french)
• finished up my fall quarter at UC.
• finally got a job, that consumes so much of my time. however, i absolutely adore some of my coworkers. such great people. 
• got an early christmas present: iPhone4 =)
• made the decision that I am, indeed, moving to Toronto by the end of next year, or early 2012.
•  been more active, and finally loosing that stubborn freshman 20

that's all i can think of off the top of my head, haha, so much has changed though. i've definitely become more aware of my surroundings and am not taking anyone's bullsh-- anymore. having no drama in my life is absolutely amazing, and i intend on keeping it this was for as long as possible.


alright loves, until next time. . .

peace&&love ♥

fell in love...

   well, it's official -- I fell in love with Toronto when I went there. it was absolutely my scene. the people are so nice & the humor there is hilarious! I love how the downtown area is so large and diverse. it just.... suits me. so... with that being said, I am seriously, 100% considering moving there next summer or winter of 2012. everyone except two of my best friends think I'm crazy. I could really care less what they think. it's become one of my goals & I'm making it happen.

   with that being said, my best friend who went with me & I also took a trip up to Bala, ON to see one of our favorite bands play, Down With Webster. they are crazy awesome as a band & as people (all 7 of them!). this was our second time getting to hang with them after the show & they're still the same down to earth people we went in Cleveland. if you haven't heard them I suggest you check them out NOW! haha ...but really! they are nothing like I've ever heard! so original and they're concerts, HOLY SHIT, epic win! there's so much energy, hype, & just all out craziness you can't help but want to go to another concert. (which we are! haha. it'll be our 4th, maybe 5th, DWW show this year.) 

   anyways, other than that, being back in reality suckkkksss. haha, but I'm dealin'. hopefully next week I will get to see one of my best friends from home for a couple days. cause some trouble, as usual. haha =) classes start in less than a month. ahhhh, so weird how I'm almost done with college!! then it's off to grad school & finding a job I don't mind doing for the next ohhhh forever. hmph. haha

peace&love♥

craziness...

   WOW. My life is absolutely crazy, random, hilarious... I love it. As Drake would say:

"I know way too many people here right now that I didn't know last year. who the fuck are y'all? I swear it feels like the last few nights we've been everywhere & back, but I just can't remember it all. what am I doin'? what am I doin'? ohh, yeah, that's right: I'm doin' me, I'm doin' me. I'm livin' life right now & this what I'mma do till it's over... but it's far from over." 

   Speaking of Drake, I am crazy excited to roadtrip with one of my besties to Canada this weekend! I've been to Canada before, but that was a goood 9-10 years ago, & I was with my parents. We're definitely gonna be hittin' up the clubs & bars! We're also going to see one of our favorite bands play! If you haven't heard of Down With Webster already, i suggest you check them out! SO awesome! They kick major ass at their shows -- so much fun! ahhh! Just talking about this trip is getting me stoked!

   On another note: I finally finished my first quarter of my Junior year! 5 more quarters & I am donnnneeee! So crazy. Now I'm just trying to figure out where I'm going for my masters. Too many choices at the moment. Haha. Tryin' to narrow it down... & quick!

   But yeah, enough rambling for me! it's 3:10am & I have to be up in a couple hours. Enjoy the picture ^^^ always gives me a good laugh! so adorably awesome =)

peace&love ♥

changes...

   holy crap, has my life changed in the matter of two weeks! it's definitely bitter sweet, that's for sure. I was ready for this though. these changes I've made were long overdue. now it's just a matter of falling into my new routine until the next chapter in my life comes along. 


   as for the summer, I am swamped with German & my other classes. however, that doesn't mean I won't be having any fun. one of my best friends & I are planning a road trip. just thinking about it gets me hype for what's in store. I'll definitely be doing more this summer now that I am free to do what I want, when I want. 

peace&love ♥

♥...

my life is awesome. =)

decisions...

   yesterday I spent a lot of time listening to music & it really got me thinking. I realized that a lot of things I had been doing in my life were based around what others wanted me to do. with that being said, I took action. this morning I dropped out of the only reason my parents let me come to UC & I am picking up two more languages. I still haven't decided if I want to stay in Marketing or not, but I know for sure I want to get back into International Business. I've always been a huge fan of traveling the world.

 yeaahh, there are a few people mad at me, but FOR ONCE I am so excited about my career path. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders by dropping that program. I know things can only go up from here. this week has been such an eye-opener, & it couldn't have come at a better time!

   now there's only one more decision to make... where the hell am I going to go for vacation at the end of the summer? =)

peace&love ♥

my life...

   my life is random, & I love it. I have met so many people, got to experience so much, & have so many goals & dreams for the future. I have the best family, the most amazing friends, & the cutest dog ever! I couldn't ask for anything more. =)

peace&love ♥

movie night...

   feelin' a movie night, tonight. with how stressful this past week has been, i'm taking a night off. no cell, no parties, nothin'. just me & netflix. =)

   tomorrow is a different story! thinkin' I might go downtown & explore a little bit. I've lived here a year & a half now & have yet to see what's all down there. definitely going to go out with some friends, too, & enjoy my last weekend with them before we all part ways for the summer. unfortunately, I'll still be here taking summer classes. maybe find a part time job & save up for a vacation before school starts back up again in the fall.

   17 days & I officially start my junior year. crazy how times flies. graduation seems like it's just around the corner. don't know whether I am more excited or sad that it's all coming to an end soon.

   well, not much to say & this movie is callin' my name.

peace&love ♥

countdown: 7 days . . .

soo, instead of studying for my business law final, I am writing this post & watching one of my favorite TV shows. I wish I could focus, but I checked out for the summer sometime last week. considering I have 3 exams, 2 homework assignments, a presentation, an interview, & 2 finals before I can say "deuces," I'm gonna need a ton of Starbucks doubleshots to get me through this week.
as for the summer, not sure what I have in store other than 6 weeks of classes & some much needed R&R. maybe a little road trip to Myrtle Beach, mmmm, that would be great! 


[[random]] if you haven't already checked out Empire Avenue, dooo itt! =)

frustration...

   for the last few minutes I've been extremely bothered by something, and i really need to get it off my chest. i normally don't rant, but i just can't process this.

   since 2004, I have had two of my very close friends pass away in car accidents. I still think about each of them regularly, because they both made such big impacts on my life. I miss them so much, and I still celebrate their birthdays, and deaths, and all of the great memories I have of them.

   my friend Jordan, who passed away May 18th,  2004, was such a great friend. he always knew how to cheer me up if I was having a horrible day. 

   my other friend, Nick, passed away July 11th of last year. he was by far the most random person I've ever met. he always came to me with relationship problems because to him, I am the "queen of relationships." he also gave me my nickname, "dmill..."

   the thing that has extremely struck me, is that someone thought Nick's one year anniversary was today.. they claim to love and miss him so much, but how can you mess up someone's date of death like that? I can see maybe a day or two off, just because the days seem to scramble together when such a horrific event occurs, but a month & a half?!! it just makes me wonder, were you really that close with him? I feel like this shouldn't bother me the way it does, but he was one of my closest guy friends, and to have someone who also considers him one, too, mess up his d.o.d like that just breaks my heart.

   I would give anything to have these two friends back in my life...
