nychicabonita asked: Hey, are you a History major?
Professing love for my professors.
If you can’t tell, I had an amazing day. I’m officially a college sophomore and I have the gratification of feeling like I have the best professors on campus. I’m taking 5 history classes, with 3 professors and they are among the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever come across. How can I go wrong? I’m aiming for all A’s this semester, which could land me on the...
Reception.
I’m natural. Like borderline bald. Do I love it? Of course. Will my friends love it? I’m not sure. To say I wouldn’t care would be a lie, because I do care. Honestly, I’d love to be an inspiration to someone. I’ve got a bad ass outfit planned, make-up and all included. Starting of my sophomore year of college on the right foot — without hair, without doubts.
Confidence.
I always had it, some would even say too much. But I’ve been experiencing confidence of a new kind with each trip I take to the barber. I just came back from the shop and my hair is now at the shortest length that it has been since I was born. Isn’t that amazing? I love my hair, or lack thereof.
To be or not to be?
Jealous, that is. I see my close friends in long relationships (one year and upwards) and I find myself yearning for the same adoration and love from someone else. Sure, I have family. I’ll always have family. They keep telling me to be patient. At what time will it be my now? When will I find him? Or maybe I won’t, and he’ll be the one to find me.
Fuck the rain.
Only time that shit falls is when my ass has plans.
Almost fancy.
Nails done, hair done, EVERYTHING DID. I tried gel instead of acrylic. Eyebrows are threaded to perfection. In the morning, the low cut and design will be back. FANCY for the first day of my sophomore year of college. My day went well.
Son, I'm about to watch The Last Exorcism.
I’m scared, genuinely. It’s way more plausible than vampires, aliens and killer zombies (You know, the usual “scary” movies). Pray for me. I probably won’t sleep.
The reality of things.
I am just creative enough to find a reason to blame every other person other than myself for each problem in my life. But where’s the respect in that? I am the one in ultimate control. Yes, life throws curveballs and yes, people will have an influence on my decisions. But see, they are just that - MINE. It’s so much easier to sit and wallow in bad experiences and choices, rather than...

I'm tired of everything being anti-Obama all the...
My friend’s boyfriend posted the dumbest shit ever on Facebook earlier. “why does Obama have a twitter? shouldn’t social networking be a little low on his priorities?” Like really? McCain’s ass has a twitter too. Not to mention the fact that President Obama is most likely NOT the person tweeting. How in the hell would he have time to? Bite it. He’s your damn...
I hope the next guy that's interested realizes...
I am a prize. I’m multifaceted and full of stories to tell. Is he going to be ready to listen to them? To tell some of his own? I realized only recently that I was settling. This time I won’t. Take your time and get to know the girl behind the name. I promise that she’s worth it.
Aaliyah's been dead for 9 years.
I remember where I was when I heard. She was one of my favorite singers EVER. Had she been alive now, Beyonce and the other female singers would be shit outta luck.

Damn Kat Stacks really put Soulja Boy out there.
Why would he even trust her that much to be doing shit like that around her. Shit I’m mad he’s even doing that…

Oh it all makes sense now, this motha fucka is on coke. No wonder he was inhaling like he had asthma in pretty boy swag.
FUCKERY. case closed.

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
1. I’m a Sagittarius and I’m a strong believer of Astrology. 2. I’m a college sophomore at a community college. 3. I love seafood. 4. I was born and raised in New York City. 5. I support LGBTQ rights 100%. 6. I’m a natural! 7. I plan to transfer to NYU or UF in 2012 as a Nursing major. 8. I love ANYTHING related to Roman/Greek history....
Miss Jamaica should have won. Case closed. It's...
Yes.
I need some headphones.
Quality & affordability are key, of course. Any suggestions?
b-luxe asked: stay positive! i'm sure you'll be fine. :)

Forget whatever the hell you heard, Florida DOES...
Frankly, I’m ready for it. My body has not yet acclimated to Florida weather, even after living here for 5 years. But I think Florida cold is different from New York cold. Besides the fact that its cold for longer periods of time in New York, Florida has the breeze. It would only be 50 degrees outside, but feel way colder because of the strong breeze. Whichever way, I’m ready for my...
The hardest semester of my life so far starts in a...
:(
Peace Corps?
Its a possibility now. Traveling, volunteering and real world experience all tied into one. I’m seriously considering it.
Morning Thought : Want people to look at you...
My words. My sentiments. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
I will never be too old for back to school...
The supplies part anyway. I love smelling new paper. It could be the fact that I’m a writer, too. I appreciate new pens and a blank sheet of paper. Either way, I’m stocked up on pens and notebooks for the year.
The beginnings of my bucket list.
No I don’t have a death wish, but there’s much I want to see and do before I meet my maker. 1. Visit the Point of No Return in Africa. ( If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google it. We google everything nowadays.)
2. Visit Greece. (Roman/Greek history is among my favorite historical time periods.)
3. Make the NY Times Bestseller’s List. Self explanatory.

You have to get it wrong before you can get it...
Failure isn’t a crime. Its what we learn from our failures that make a difference.
There has to be hope for us.
My parents have been married for 17 years, together more than 20. Nowadays, people are lucky to make it to a year. Marriage is becoming more like an insurance policy or a business deal than anything else. I’d love to marry a man like my dad, but I’m not holding my breath.
This might sound odd, but I understand my mess.
If I do laundry and just leave the clothes on my bed, I’ll know where to find anything I need. My parents don’t understand that though.

in the folds of the sweatshirt

If you open the door, walk through it. If you...
We create our situations. If you’re sad, get happy. If someone’s causing you pain, cut them out of your life. I make ME happy. I know what I need, want and love. So now I sit, jotting down new plans and erasing the ones that didn’t work.
I know that I'm wrong.
I just feel better when you’re there to tell me so.
J.Cole is refreshing.
I honestly feel like I’m listening to a story instead of reading one every time I listen to any of his tracks. Yes, some tracks are meant to be chill music, but even his “chill” hits are lyrically profound. I love “It Won’t Be Long”, go download it if you haven’t. His album is only album I will buy this year. Only album I’ve ever bought besides...
Morning thoughts.
Don’t hate the people that love the hype. They keep moving so that they don’t have to focus on the fact that they have no where to plant their feet. Instead, pray for them.
I never wanted to be famous.
I wanted a loft back home in New York, a gorgeous husband to travel the world with me, and a strong enough imagination to make it on the NY Times Bestsellers List. That and a few dollars to take care of my grandparents in Jamaica and to adopt. It’s not unreasonable. As a matter of fact, every day that I get older and closer to 20, I get more scared that I’m running out of time to get...

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now. I could only think of 5 things/people.
Nicole I hope you realize that by running away from your problems, you’re running away from your siblings. Relationships are better when they are balanced. Yes we share a a father and a last name, but I’ve never felt like such a stranger to anyone in my life. I only wish...
