Birthdays!

What is a birthday?

Yes it is the day that you came into the world, and yes it is the day that your parents saw you for the first time, but is there something more to it?

I think that a birthday is a more personalized new years day. On new years day we celebrate the start of a new year and we look back on our mistakes and accomplishments and we try to make our life better for the upcoming year. Well technically new years does not represent a new year of life unless your birthday is on January 1st. ( Do you get what Im trying to say) Say you were born on December 16th, well when new years rolls around on January 1st and you are supposed to celebrate a new year, you are technically not celebrating a new year because you have only been alive for less then a month. On your birthday you are celebrating the birth of another year. This is the true date in which you should reflect on what you have accomplished in the past year of your life. This is the date where you can distinguish your old self from you new.

This is why birthdays are so special. New years is the celebration of a new year for everyone in the world, but a birthday is the celebration of new year for just you! There is a date and time for everyone that can specifically represent that persons first day of their own year. Every celebration of this date symbolizes a new you and a chance to be a better person then you were the year before.

P.S. My birthday is Wednesday 3/16 :)

Im Late

So I was rushing to do my math homework that was due by 11:59 tonight and I totally forgot I had to write this blog... oops! Hopefully being 3 minutes late wont hurt me to bad.

Im super stoked right now because I just found out I scored an 18 out of 20 on my math quiz! (this is such a big deal because I have been getting like a 12 out of 20 every time)

Today I was sooo thankful for the weather! It was beautiful outside today! Not to cold not to hot, perfect! I can not wait till summer! Can you believe we only have like 10 weeks of school left? Its crazy.

So I have been telling myself that I need to start working out again so I have decided that on friday when I dont have school or anything else to do in the morning, I am going to go running and run from my house to fullerton college! Its about a 4 mile run...I dont even like to run! I dont know what has gotten into me but for some reason it seems like it is going to be really fun :) If I show up to my classes on Monday you will know that I am still alive lol.

Alright well have a great rest of the week everyone!

Almost Friday :)

So I was reading through some of my blogs and I realized that I talk about my speech class a lot! Its probably annoying but I always write my blog the night before I have speech so that is always the topic on my mind. Speaking of speech, tomorrow I give my big speech on Obamacare. Shoot me now! I just hope I get a good grade!

Its almost Friday people, and you know what that means? Relaxation day for me! I havent been able to relax in a couple of weekends and it is much needed. I cant wait. Im going to sleep in and stay in my pajamas all day! I am going to be productive by washing clothes and cleaning my room, but thats about as much as I will be doing all day friday :)

One more thing. Today we turned in our final draft of our english essay. I feel pretty confident about it because I worked really hard on it so I am very eager to find out what kind of grade I am going to receive. Oh! speaking of grades, I have a D in math right now! Thats horrible! Really got to get my act together with that class, I just really have grown to HATE math over the past few weeks :(

Wish me luck on my speech tomorrow! 6 minuets of my life that I can not wait to be over!

Nothing to say...

So its wednesday night and I am currently working on some homework for my speech class. I dont really have anything interesting to say tonight so Im just going to write about my annoying researching im doing right now. For my speech I have to state my opinion on why Obamacare should be repealed... LAME!! First off I dont even know anything about the subject. Second I dont really want to know anything about the subject. And lastly this outline for my speech is due tomorrow morning and I am just now working on it. :/ So as you can tell I am really annoyed at this!

Tomorrow should be a good day (after speech class), Fullerton baseball will be in long beach playing LBC, should be a good game! Then I will return to FJC for my unnecessary media aesthetics class, booo! Then I think I will treat myself to some chickfila.... Oh wait, scratch that, Im broke! Well ill just head home and enjoy my thursday night TV with my friends and family :) Greys, Private Practice, and Off the Map!

Alright, thats all for now! See you next wednesday.

Post Valentines Day

Hello all!

So Valentines day was this past monday, and I hope everyone had a great one. Even if you are a single bitter women that hates the day all together, hopefully you got some chocolate out of it :) Anyways tonight in my blog I want to analyze the facebook status that I posted on Valentines day. This was a quote that I googled ad found it appropriate for the day so decided to post it:

"Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

First off, this sentence states that love is a condition. I have always felt like love is a feeling or a state of being I guess you could say. A condition, to me, is more like when a doctor tells you that you have a condition known as arthritis or when they tell you that you are not in the condition to exercise. More of a physical meaning I guess. Secondly about this sentence is that it states that love is when the happiness of someone else is more important to you then your own. Is this what truly makes us happy? Seeing that our loved ones are happy. I would say this could be true. When you have seen a loved one that is sad or depressed you often have no control over feeling sad with them. When a loved one is happy, even if you are sad about something, you often cant help yourself from feeling happy for them and that in return makes you happy. Maybe the happiness in others is what truly triggers the happiness in ourself. If you think about it, is there really a time when you were feeling down and a loved one came to you with very exciting news about themselves and you were not able to become happy for them and with them? I highly doubt it. So to conclude this analysis, I believe that this statement speaks the truth 100%. When the happiness of another person is the true factor for the happiness of yourself then you have truly discovered love in its most rewarding way.

Speech class

        So I am taking a speech class this semester and it is going pretty good. I had to give my first informal speech on tuesday and I thought I did a good job. The class was laughing at my story, I was telling jokes, acting out characters voices, and I was trying to be as natural as possible; as if I were telling the story to my sister. Well, my teacher told me this after I was done, "You are very guarded and need to let us feel your emotions more. You are talking to us like we are on a first date when really you should be talking to us at a third date level." I was like WHAT! I was totally being open to how I felt about my story. How open am I supposed to be? Im not going to stand there and cry in front of 30 people that I just met and don't even know their names.
      So after the class I started analyzing my life. Trying to figure out if I really was a guarded person and if it was somehow being portrayed through my speech. Well I decided im not. I open up to people that I feel I have a close connection to. Yes it is true that I only open up to certain people and those certain are not a lot, but are you really supposed to open yourself up to everyone you meet? If you walk around being an open book then there is nothing interesting about you that people dont already know. Why would someone want to get to know you if you are already letting them see everything before they even get the chance to know you. Basically the question is this; Are you supposed to let your guard down for anyone you meet, or are you supposed to only let people that mean a lot to you or people that you feel connected to have the chance to get to know you on a more personal level with no guard up?

Just a thought,

my thoughts on blogging

As I sit here ready to write another blog entry and am trying to come up with something to write about I ask myself this, "what do people usually write in blogs and why wouldn't the just talk to people instead of writing it down for the whole world to see?" So now Im trying to figure out why it is that people feel so comfortable sharing their deepest emotions with strangers through the computer but cant express those emotions in person, to their closest friends... I don't know its just a thought. I also am realizing that this whole blog thing is like a whole other world! I mean if you just search through some of these blogs there are SO many different kinds of them. Kinda cool!

Anyways back to why it is that people feel better sharing their feelings online instead face to face. Maybe it is because they don't have any personal connection to anyone reading it. Maybe it is because they just honestly don't have anyone to talk to. Or maybe they feel more comfortable because they are better at writing down their emotions instead of expressing them through words. I guess its understandable, but is this really a good thing for our society? Im not sure. I definitely dont think it is a bad thing by any means, but I cant really determine if it is beneficial or not. I guess only time will tell.

Alright well Iv got to get to bed, another long day tomorrow. But I start traveling with the Fullerton Baseball team on thursday as their Athletic Trainer so that is something to look forward to :)

P.S. Im so over this freezing cold weather!!!

Until next time,
Kayla
