One Year Later

Today, Elliot and I make a year. I think that speaks enough for itself. 

Recently Seen

So I've seen two movies, a while back, that I haven't blogged about...BUT now I am, and so it's forgiven. The first movie that I've watched was The Business of Being Born:

I loved this movie. It's about the different types of birthing and the different experiences. It goes to show how birthing is a business. It starts Ricki Lake and her experience as well as a few other couples who decide how to give birth by themselves. It goes behind hospitals vs. home birth. It gives you a lot of information of how everything works. It's mainly focused in New York City. I say watch it, especially if you're expecting. 

Next, I saw Babies:

I loved this movie, absolutely loved it. It's a documentary filmed all over the world in different parts of different oceans. It goes to show you the beauty and the dark side of the oceans. It's a gorgeous film. You get to see so many unique creatures and they tell you about them as well. I would say watch it just because of how pretty it is. 

To Rush or Not to Rush?

            Deciding to rush was one of the hardest decisions I had to make in High School. I went to an all girls, private, catholic high school. When I say the majority if not 75% of my class rushed, I’m not exaggerating in any sense. We graduated with 211 girls, at least 75 of them rushed at my college only and got into the sororities they chose.

            At first my decision to rush was a silly reason, I wanted to move into the dorm early. I just couldn’t wait to get out the house [now I kind of miss it]. Then when I really thought about it, I came up with the reason I wanted to rush was because I wanted to meet new people. I’m a people person, no doubt, but at that time I just wanted to meet so many new people. Little did I know what the summer had waiting for me.

            All in all, I’m so happy that I decided to rush. I found a great fit with the sorority I’m in now. It may seem silly to think that there’s a huge group of girls that I can call regardless of what time it is for help. Honestly, I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world.

            Something that you must remember though is that you’re doing it for you, not for anyone else. My biggest piece of advice: don’t let others influence your way of thinking. Don’t let them put ideas into your head, because at the end of the day you have to be happy with the decision you made. 

Alive.

I'm back from Manchester. Bonnaroo was amazing. Everything I hoped for and more. Now, I need a break. Two more days of work (after today), and then I have another 4 days off. For now, work and then cleaning. 

The Final Day: Roo Day 4

Today is the final day at Roo! We're expecting to see:

I don't know much about them, but then again my friends really enjoy them so I'm sure it'll be great!

Amos Lee: 

I really like him. It should be an amazing show!

Another band that Elliot is SO excited about seeing! It should be fun! I've heard some of their music and it's amazing.

I'm looking forward to them. They seem like they'd be really awesome live!
