Love is like a Vitamin.

I have been trying to figure out what colleges to go to.
I have listed the colleges and a reason why,
hoping I can find the right one.





1.) Sacramento State- My mother's brother and wife live there, along with my Nana. I love Sacramento; I fell in love with it the first time I went there. It's so peaceful and yet it's a town that never sleeps.







2.) Oregon State University- They have the best psychology program there and I have family there. Their science program is top notch.






3.) Boston University- Ohh, I love Boston. It's funny because I have never been there, yet. But I know I want to go there and practice.














All I know is that I want to get out of this hello hole they call Fresno.










I know I am going to take a year off and study abroad, clear my head,

before I encounter 12 years of school.

I don't know if I can do 12 years......

Tagged!


I was tagged by Slayville, so now it's my turn.
Seven Weird Facts:
1.) I cannot stand the feeling of cotton balls.
2.) Orange is my favorite colour, most people hate it.
3.) I love the smell of fresh clothes out of the dryer.
4.) My plan is to get my MD and PhD,
but I have a feeling that I am going to hate my life if I do.
5.) Simple things inspire me.
6.) I only have a few friends.
7.) I am pretty tall for a girl my age, 5'8", and I am still growing.

Quentin Fields.




Quentin Fields was a basketball player.
He was also a son.
A brother.
Somebody's teammate.
Somebody's friend.
I never knew Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will.
Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore.
If you were suddenly gone how would your world react?
Whatever you imagined was wrong.
There's nothing romantic about death.
Grief is like the ocean: it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us.
And pain is like a thief in the night.
Quiet.
Persistent.
Unfair.
Diminished by the time and faith and love.
I didn't know Quentin Fields but I'm jealous of him because I see how his absence has affected the people that did know him so I know that he did matter to them.
And I know he was loved.
People say Quentin Fields was a great basketball player.
Graceful.
Fluid.
Inspiring.
They say on a good night it almost seemed as though he could fly.



And now he can......

I know I won't cry...

"Because I know that there is somebody waiting for me..."


So my life is one big mess- It is a constant surprise, but not the good ones though. Sadly. I need excitement in my dull life, or lack there of life.






I read a story about an 8-month old boy named James. He was a normal boy, until he had a seizure and his mother rushed him to the hospital as fast as her car could take her. The baby was given a spinal tap test and had to have blood drawn. If anyone has experienced spinal tap, you know it hurts like hell and drawing blood isn't that much fun either. But instead of crying, the baby simply laughed. The solution- he couldn't feel pain....



Imagine what life would be like without pain, without sorrow, not knowing what happiness was......
