The Road Not Taken.

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

come back. come back. come back to me baby.

What if life was a movie? There would be clear "right" and "wrong". Upbeat music would signal a disaster. A prince would always save a princess. Conflicts could be turned into sing-a-longs. Animals could talk. Average people could be spies. High speed car chases would be prevalent. A wild night in vegas would cause a large hangover and a lost friend. Anyone could achieve fame. Superheroes would live among us. New worlds would be in the back of a wardrobe. Pirates would rule the seven seas. Vampires would make excellent boyfriends. Hogwarts would be "just another day at school". Every wish would be granted. Nice guys wouldn't always finish last. Rain would always be romantic. Noah and Ali would always be "meant to be". True love would break any spell. Credits would roll after every climatic kiss. There would always be a happy ending!

Happy Hallo-week!

Boo!

Here's something you may not have known about me, I love Halloween! In fact, the Halloween festivities are pretty highly ranked on my list of favorite holidays! Now, don't confuse my love for the season as "a love for satan... blah blah blah" (as many "old-folk" tend to confuse)! To be more specific, I love Hallo-Week because:

1. Mellocreme Pumpkins! Mellowcreme pumpkins are, by far, the best Halloween candy; and probably one of the best snacks year-round! Oh, and just so you know, Mellowcreme pumpkins are not the same as Candy Corn. They do not taste the same, nor do they compare in taste or quality.
2. Seasonal Movies! Halloween themed movies are "to die for"! (No pun intended) But I love laying in my bed, eating Mellowcreme pumpkins, and watching Halloween movies. For example ABC's "Thirteen Nights of Halloween" and Lifetime's "Nightmare on LMN Street" are so fun to watch. And of course, I can't forget to watch "Hocus Pocus"!
3. Playing dress-up! Probably the most noticiable part of Halloween is the opportunity to "dress-up". Although it's not normal to wear an actual costume throughout the entire Hallo-Week, it is fun to add seasonal socks or jewelry to normal outfits! I love dressing for the holidays!
4. Cookies, candy, and treats! Decorating cakes, brownies, and cupcakes are a great way to enjoy any season; especially Halloween. Since the holiday is centered around the tradition of "trick-or-treating", its easy to find tons of candy and other treats around town. Halloween treats can give anyone a reason to indulge!
5. Pumpkins! My favorite part of Hallo-Week is picking and carving pumpkins! Not only is pumpkin carving a fun activity, it's also romantic and can be a fun event for a relationship! I can't wait to carve my pumpkin!
Also, Taylor Swift's new CD came out yesterday; it's amazing! I love T-Swift and her relationship songs!

With a little love...

I don't usually get sick. By that, I mean that I don't usually come down with any illnesses. Basically, my immune system must be pretty badass. However, when I do get sick... it gets ugly. No fears, though; I'm not going to bore you with the nasty details. But just know that my immue system seems to fail in the worst possible circumstances. Take for example, today I got sick during the ACT (during one of the most critical moments of my young adult life)! It was miserable. However, because of this, I got to spend the entire day in bed (which I desperately needed)! To make a long story short, I'm not very excited about seeing my scores!
In more interesting news, I attended the celebration in Five Points for Hootie and the Blowfish! It was amazing! Several wonderful musicans played, including Patrick Davis, Five Way Friday, and the Blue Dogs. There were also several apperances by Darius Rucker and other members of the original band (Hootie). Basically, it was one giant party; as Five Points typically is! I must admit that I did purchase a $20 tshirt. Although Chandler believes that it wasn't a smart move, I believe that the investment was definitely worth it!
I'm also pretty excited about seeing my pictures in a magazine! Well, I probably made that sound a little more exciting than it actually is, but I am going to be in a magazine. Because my neighbor is a photographer, she allowed me to model a few shirts for an equestrian magazine.

Did you know....?

I'm a nerd. Truthfully, one of my favorite hobbies is looking at random "fun facts" on the internet; or in our school agendas! So just for your entertainment, here are some of my interesting facts that I found today:
1. "Stressed" spelled backwards is, "desserts"!
2. Cats can hear ultrasound.
3. The elephant is the only animal with four knees.
4. Approximately two-thirds of people tilt their head to the right when they kiss.
5. Just days before the World Cup of 1966 in England, the trophy was stolen and then later retrieved by a dog.
6. You will weigh less if you weigh yourself when the moon is full.
7. Coco Chanel started the trend for sun tans in 1923 when she got accidentally burnt on a cruise.
8. "Jaws" is the most common name for a goldfish.
9. Coca-Cola was originally green.
10. The population of the world an live within the state boundaries of Texas.

She's a good girl; loves her mother...

Today in English 102, we read the story, "The Necklace", by Guy de Maupassant. For those who have never heard of the story, here's a link:

http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/Neck.shtml


Anyway, the plot of the story describes a young woman who is severely dissatisfied with her life. The woman longs for a life full of riches and luxury; however, she finds herself stuck in the realms of middle class. The story continues when the protagonist recieves an invitation to a lavish party. The party provides the woman with the "opportunity of a lifetime". This event is what she has always desired. However, in order to attend the party she believes that she must borrow some jewels in order to look fashionable. She borrows a beautiful diamond necklace and is regarded as the most beautiful woman in attendance. Much to her dismay, at the end of the party, she loses the necklace. The woman and her husband then spend the next ten years of their lives paying back the debt of a replacement necklace. At the end of the story, however, the protagonist discovers that the original necklace she lost was only made of fake diamonds, not nearly worth the amount of money she paid for the replacement.

The story can teach a numerous amount of lessons and morals, but the one that sticks out to me is "dissatisfaction". If the main character was not so displeased with her life, her situation would have been drastically different. It is important to be grateful for everything you have, and everything God has given you.

"God gave you a gift of 86,000 seconds today. Have you used one to say 'thank you?'"-William A. Ward

rain rain go away; that's what all my haters say.

Why would haters want it to stop raining?!


I'm not scared of much. Let me rephrase that; my fears are somewhat literal. I find myself fearing little things such as spiders, tornados, railroad tracks, and obesity. However, recently, my biggest fear seems to keep reoccuring; especially this year! More than bugs, storms, and chubbiness, I'm scared of the future. Moreover, I'm terrified of the unknown.According to most adults, it's perfectly normal to have doubts about the future. However, it seems that recently all my peers are starting to put their lives in perspective; or at least they're getting some sort of "life plan". Up until today, I thought I had one as well. While I was working on college applications, I found myself thinking about where I would be in 10 years.
In 10 years I'll be 27, preparing to turn 28. I'll be approaching 30 and gettting closer to middle age. That concept scares the hell out of me!
Honestly, I don't know what I want to be, who I want to marry, if I want kids or not, or even where I want to settle down; and it doesn't seem like 10 years is a long enough time to figure all of that out!So right now, I, along with millons of other high school seniors, am being asked to set up the foundation for my future. My senior year is forcing me to come face to face with my biggest fear. Honestly, I don't want to get old, and I certainly don't want to be living in my parents house for the remainder of my existance!
So, in light of my stress, I did the typical "Rebecca thing", and looked up a quote to make myself feel better. Lucky for me, Abraham Lincoln provided an excellent antidote for my woes!

"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." -Abraham Lincoln
So like Abe suggested, I'm going to start living one day at a time!


Also, I saw this envelope on PostSecret a few weeks back. It really struck me and made me think about the kind of person I am.

Honestly, I think I would have looked inside of the envelope; what does that say about the kind of person I've become?! Would you have looked?

Today, I was chatting with Stevie while at "the wonderful establishment" known as Chili's. Basically, she reminded me about the joys of the blogging community. Therefore, I got kinda excited and felt the need to blog a little!

1/4th of senior year is done!Honestly, high school is lame. Recently, all I can think about is college and finally getting away from Camden High School. Because of this, I have the worst case of senioritis imaginable! It's not that I dislike high school, I've just had enough of it. I've had my fill of high school clubs, high school grades, high school stresses, high school drama, ... etc. Due to my severe medical issue, some of my grades are suffering. To be more specific, my grade in Honors Physics is horrible. It's by far the worst grade I've ever made, in my entire life! The irony in that statement is that I took that class to recieve an "easy A". Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way that Honors Physics is not an "easy A" class! Furthermore, it's also ironic that my highest grade happens to be in AP Cal. hmmmm, I never cease to amaze myself.

Okay, I'm done venting! On a more interesting note, since I have not blogged in a while, I feel the need to reintroduce myself!1. My name is Rebecca; Sometimes people call me Becca. But other than that I don't have anymore nicknames... nicknames are lame. sorry. 2. I have been dating Chandler Jones for 2 years! Although sometimes I like to "defriend" him on facebook, just to spice up our relationship! (And no, I did not puposely draw a corralation between "2 years" and "number 2" on my list. 3. I've learned how to play the introduction to Free Fallin on the guitar. And yes, I am proud of myself considering I'm not the most "musical person."4. Sometimes I tear up when a sad song comes on the radio. 5. hide yo kids; hide yo wife; and hide yo husband too, cause they rapin' erybody out her'!6. I have a gerbil. Mr. Stella!7. I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying ayyy-ohhh. 8. I lost one of my favorite earrings at the Camden homecoming game this past weekend. 9. Like Corey Smith, I drink keg beer from a trashcan til the whole damn thing is gone. 10. Unfortunately, I've learned that my mood and the mood of my family is a corralation to the score of the most recent Carolina game. ilovecocks. Round one of Senior Pictures:

Senior Year!

It feels good to be on top!

I'm going to try and make this year the absolute best!

xoxo

Build me up, buttercup baby; just to let me down!

Yeah, you gotta love those oldies!


Do you know what I love about this time of year? The sales! Yesterday, I went shopping and much to my surprise, I only spent 7 dollars on jeans; in multiple stores! This time of year, the stores are preparing to change from their summer collections, to their new, fall collections! And every good shopper knows what that means, amazing bargins! But the clothing industry also made a stronger impact on my life. As I was browsing through the racks I found myself making a "clothing store revelation". In the life of a teenage girl, the summer months provide an opportunity for change. Who will you be next year? As the stores change from their old collections, you need to as well. Before the next school year begins, figure out the person you want to be... and become that person! Like Sequoyah Prep School says, "Change is better!"

(Oh, and if you have time, you really need to get to New York & Company! They have a huge sale that will blow your mind!)


In other news, I am finally home from the beach! To tell you the truth, the trip went by too incredibly fast! One moment I was relaxing in the sand, and the next, I was packing my bags again! But the vacation included some amazing family memories, and some that aren't so "family oriented!" One of the ultimate highlights was Chandler's birthday! While we were soaking up some sun, Chandler turned 19! He's truly an old man now. But for his birthday, he decided to reward himself with his very first tattoo! I will admit, I was a skeptic at first. I really didn't know what to think about him getting a tattoo, but after seeing it, I love it!

You can decide for yourself.
Chandler's tat!

Peace, Love, and Crabs!

(and for those of you who don't know, that's the slogan for Joe's Crab Shack!)

I have a confession. I confess that I am one of those people that constantly wants something new. Now I'm not refering to having something materialistic, although I do tend to want that as well! But, what I actually mean, is that I can always find something new and exciting to strive for. For example, yesterday my family and I took a journey to Margaritaville, (unfortunately just the restaurant). But while I was there, some of the workers were allowing guests to take pictures with a tropical parrot! Now, being from a little town in South Carolina, I'm not very familiar with these pretty birds! So the opportunity to take a picture with them was extremely exciting to me! So now, I have an obsession with cute, little parrots! In fact, I have readjusted my future plans to include adopting a tropical parrot! I've even planned to name him, "Alexander Marley Buffett"!
"Marley," because of Bob Marley and because of his association with tropical islands!
"Buffett," because of Jimmy Buffett, of course!
And "Alexander," because it adds of sort-of ring to the entire name!
But I'll call him "Marley" for short! - and yes, he will talk!
Anyway, if you are to meet me in the future, please ask to see my pet parrot, because he will be there!

In other news, the beach is amazing and it's exactly the way I wanted to spend my summer! The sun is hot, the waves are cool, and the "gatorade mixed with a little surprise" is truly excellent!

In the words of Bob Marley,
"Live the life you Love; Love the life you Live!

Actually, I do know how to spell gangster...

R-E-B-E-C-C-A!


Now, I have to admit, I've definitely put the blog on hold recently. But no worries; because I've decided to start writing again! According to me, this blog is a form of ventilation; like my own personal stress reliever. And believe me, recently I've needed a way to relieve some major stress and anxiety! So, some of you may be wondering what I've been up to recently. Well, this past month my life has changed in many ways. For one, I've learned that trust is a privledge, and the people you trust should be only those who are willing to defend your reputation, not slaughter it! Believe me, it's hard to have to defend your reputation to those you have never met; and even harder to defend it against those you've known your entire life. So, if I had to give any advice to someone in the future, it would be to "use good judgement before calling someone a friend. Not everyone has your best interests in mind."

However, in light of my recent troubles, I was given the amazing opportunity to attend Palmetto Girls State! Words cannot describe the impact of that camp on my life! The getaway provided me with a chance to not only escape Camden, but also an opportunity to meet several extraordinary young women. These wonderful young ladies changed my life. They proved the extent of real friendship and helped me discover the importance of "my own voice". Now, I'm sure there are some skeptics; I know, because I was one at first! How could a little camp have made that much of an impact... blah blah blah?! Well, I have a theory: In my opinion, Palmetto Girls State was a success because, for the first time in our lives, everyone in attendance was on the same academic level. Everyone there was a Class President, or team Captain! Therefore, each and every girl was forced to form real relationships outside of their comfort zones and without dwelling on their own achievements. So, like I stated eariler, I created friendships that aren't ever going to be replaced. And to that, I am forever greatful! Thanks Stokes City, for being there when I desperately needed a friend!
Boom! Like thunder, Stokes City is gonna take you under;
Flash! Like lightning, Stokes City is oh so frightning;
Cool! Like rain, Stokes City is gonna bring their game! :)

On a less serious note; I'm at the biotch(beach)! And I'll be down here until next Sunday! (the one after the Sunday thats tomorrow, haha!) Anyways, I'm getting some much needed relaxation; and some much needed time with Chan! You know, to "mend our relationship". A relationship that I screwed up; but thats a whole different story. However, I have some extremely exciting news! First, the "Sexpedition" now has an awesome system! It bumps.... hard! Secondly, I painted a badass cooler! It's amazing and I'm extremely proud! So, with that being said; I'm off to enjoy the first night of my vacation!

Cooler pic, love!

You're the devil...

Instead of blogging right now, I really should be reading! About a month ago, my history teacher (Patty) assigned us a reading assignment. All we had to do was read this little book about some "devil in some damn white city." Well, unfortunately I decided that I would put-off reading until at least the last few weeks of school. I was even hoping that Patrick Hinson would completely forget about the book and move on. I was wrong! Now I'm finding myself only a few hours away from the test date! Wonderful! To make matters even worse, Patrick has repeatedly stated that, "if you don't read the book, you WILL fail the test; sparknotes will NOT help you... blah blah blah!" So, I'm feeling a little hopeless! Or at least I was.... In the midst of my hopelessness, I remembered the words of a wise diva! Beyonce once stated, "I'm a survivor, I will not give up, I will not stop, I will work harder, I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it, I will survive, keep on survivin'..." and guess what Beyonce, I'm a survivor too! I will survive this petty "Devil in White City" test; and I'll do it without even reading the book! However, I do want everyone to understand that, Rebecca Cobb is not a procrastinator! But I did completely disregard the importance of this book! Did you know that there are only five days left of school; I did! xoxo

I got 99 problems; and they're all bitches!

Well, if there's one thing I've learned this week, it's that "Change is a good thing!"

"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back. Don't." -Lucas, One Tree Hill


I'm starting over.

xoxo

Welcome back, trickkk!

I feel like I haven't written anything in yearsss!


And honestly, I don't feel like repeating my entire life-story of the past month! But to briefly recap, I will mention that prom was great. Well, the actual prom sucked! But the party bus, and the night at Jessica's was extremely riveting! Also, I took the SAT again a few weeks ago. Hopefully, I did a lot better than I did the last time; like a few hundred points better! But sometimes, you can only ask for so much.
Speaking of academics, recently I took the APUSH exam. For those of you who don't understand the acronym; it stands for AP United States History. To gain college credit you have to make at least a 3 on the exam. To be honest, I'm really not sure how great I did. I'm praying for a 3, but I'm expecting the worst. However, I'm sure everything will work out, and I'm even more positive that Carolina will not decline my application simply because I didn't pass the APUSH final exam.

But yeah, enough of the chitter-chatter! I have something extremely important to say; rompers are in! Now, I'm sure whoever is reading this is probably wondering where that comment came from. Well, it was stimulated from a rude comment I overheard in the hallway a few days ago! I was being bold and choose to wear a cute, fashionable romper to school. Unfortunately, some of my rude and childish fellow students couldn't see the genius behind the adorable outfit. Anyway, I pity them! So stick that in your juicebox and suck it! Bam!

Okay, well now I feel a little rude. But whatev!

Tonight I have a Junior Leadership induction ceremony! holla!

Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot! I think I have finally convinced my mom that I should get a little companion to keep in my room. By that, I'm refering to a possible new addition to the Cobb/Moseley household. A hampster! I'm too excited! And I've already choosen a name.... Stella Marie Carter-Minaj Cobb! It may need a little adjusting!


Did you know that Zaxby's milkshakes arrive prepackaged?! Neither did I!

xoxo

Double your pleasure, double your fun, and dance forever!

It's prom night!
Because I am a little behind on my preparations for tonight; I don't really have a lot of time to post an amazing new blog. But I will tell you that tonight is probably going to be one of the best nights of my life; at least I hope it will be. My expectations are extremely high!

So basically, I hope everyone is safe and has an amazing night!



Party, Party, Party; Let's all get wasted!
xoxo

I ain't no hollaback girl!

It's Spring Break!
Well, actually Spring Break is almost over; but the key word in that last statement is, almost! However, unfortunately I will be spending the remaining period of time at the wonderful Chili's establishment! yay!

But before I put back on my uniform, I have some pretty exciting news. First, I finally got a bank account; well, I finally got an account I can actually access myself. Sadly, I haven't yet recieved my debit card; but just the fact that I finally have one makes me giddy with excitment! Also, I have made a decision about my hair length. I've decided to grow my hair even longer! I was looking on the internet recently, and I saw a picture of this girl with really, really long hair, and it looked adorable! So, I decided to give the look a try. However, I am in serious need of a trim; otherwise my split-ends will take over my head before I get the chance to add more length! Anyway, I'm super amped about it! After all, anyone can chop off their locks, but not everyone has the patience to wait for their hair to grow out! blah, blah, blah; you get the point!

Also, a TON of people have stopped me, while I'm working, to tell me that I look like Jennifer Love Hewitt. Hmmm? But she's pretty, so I'm okay with it!



Did you know that Gwen Stefani wrote "Hollaback Girl" in response to Courtney Love calling her a "cheerleader" during an interview with Seventeen Magazine? Neither did I!

xoxo

I hate pollen!

Hello Spring!
Okay, yeah, Spring actually started a while back; but whatever, I've been too busy to write about it.

Anyway, today I would like to formally announce my hatred for my gas tank; tractors; and interstate traffic! All of which I had to deal with today! So, this weekend I decided to travel to the lovely town of Orangeburg to visit my wonderful boyfriend. Since I had to work tonight, I had to come home early this morning. However, when I went to pull out of his driveway I found that my car was screaming at me! Actually, it was the gas light screaming that it was thirsty. Unfortunately for me, that means I have to fork out my hard-earned cash to quench it's thirst. Because I drive a bus, I realized that anything less than $20 would leave me stranded on the side of the interstate; so I decided to be a little rebelous and only purchase the minimum; $20. So, I'm driving home and I realize that the traffic in front of me begins to slow; ugh! The reason for the slow-down happened to be a stupid tractor going about 30mph in a 55mph zone! Naturally, I was speeding anyway; so I had to slam on brakes for the darn thing! Well, not only did the tractor back up traffic for about 3 miles, it also refused to MOVE! I followed the big green devil for at least 45 minutes! However, finally it turned off and my travel continued normally. Until about 10 minutes later when I discovered that the interstate around the Camden exit was backed-up! Apparently some idiot at the highway department decided that it was a wonderful idea to fix the road in the middle of the day! Let me tell you, that isn't a good idea! However, I eventually made it home; only to discover that my bus needed gas... again! ugh!

Since I'm already complaining, I might-as-well mention my only problem with Spring... pollen! As I'm sure many of you know, I have horrible allergies! And this year, pollen is really trying to kill me! If you've walked outside recently, you know what I mean. It's literally like walking in snow; except that the snow is yellow and makes me sneeze! The grass, sidewalk, furniture, and my car is completely covered in yellow crap! Usually, I never wish for rain, but in this case I'm really begging for a downpour to wash the pollen away!

In other news, I finally took my prom dress to the alteration shop this afternoon. I've been procrastinating, severely! However, my girl Wanda always has my back; and assured me that my dress will be ready on time! I love Wanda!
Speaking of prom, I am extremely happy to announce that my friends and I finally have a ride for prom! Thank God and thank you Aly Bolin and Madison Wilson! However, I would like to take the time and briefly share my appreciation for the way my friend uncovered our hot prom ride. Aly told me that while her and Madison were shopping in Sandhills, they heard someone playing a Lil Wayne song! Naturally, they looked for the source and it lead them to a party bus! Which again illustrates the power of Lil Wayne! Without Weezy's guidance, a bus would have never been found! Thanks Weezy!

Enjoy the hot weather; I will!

xoxo

I get sleazy for Ron Weasley!

Well, not really.

Anyways, today I picked out a rather cute outfit; if I may say so myself! However, in my room I put on some earrings that matched. However, when I got to school I realized that my earrings were a totally different color than my actual shirt. lovely! Also, much to my excitment; I braided my hair! I've really gotten really good at braiding stuff now!

Another interesting aspect of my life is the fact that today I finished my Editorial for the school newspaper. I'm glad I finally got it out of the way, and now I don't have to worry about it. It's about a new proposal by our district school board that might make us have to pay for our classes, parking, and athletics. It's really ridiculous if you ask me; but I'll leave that for you to decide.

Yesterday at work, I had a really bad day! For some reason I just happened to do everything wrong, and my boss didn't let it go without acknowledgement. Now, I'm sure those of you who know me realize that I very easily get my feelings hurt. So it isn't a surprise that I spent my ride home from work last night, crying. I don't think I was that upset that she yelled; I just think I was a little embarrassed. Hopefully today will go a lot better! Or at least, "someone" won't be there!

Also, I am in the middle of a crisis; a hair crisis! From the time I was little, I've always loved long hair! It got to the point where I would litteraly cry if anyone wanted to cut my hair. But recently I've given a lot of thought to cutting off some of my locks. I know I'd really regret it later; but I can't help wanting a new look. Advice please!

Finally, I have made a very important decision! If I had the opportunity to pick a charity, I've decided which one it would be. I have formally decided that I would sponsor an organization that combats the rudeness epidemic! Seriously, people in America need to take etiquette classes! That's all i'm saying.



Also everyone should go see The Last Song this weekend; I know I will!

ps. I'm tired of seeing stuff about how bad tanning beds are on talk shows... ugh!

xoxo

"Nice to meet you, I'm John Holmes!"

To speak simply, The Carolina Cup was fabulous!

Instead of typing on-and-on about what happened; I'd much rather show a few cute pictures!









Did you know there is a type of alcohol called Pancho Villa?! Neither did I!

xoxo

You saw horses at the Cup?!

Okay, I'm sure everyone already knows this... but, the Cup is tomorrow! I'm so excited about it. I've been looking forward to this weekend for a loooong time. And even more exciting, I don't have to work that day! yay!

Today, I found a few more things pretty exciting as well:
First, I learned that splitting a large pizza, four ways, at CHOPS is a wonderful idea! I had enough to fill my stomach and I only had to pay 2 dollars! Also, I learned that bringing a "light-up, Miller Light Cup" to school makes my whole day more enjoyable. After realizing that there were no clean cups in my house, I was forced to bring a "party cup" to school! In my opinion, the flashing colored lights made the day go by extremely faster! Next, I found out that locking my car keys inside the house, will make me late for school. Yes, instead of checking to make sure I had my car keys with me before I locked the door, I locked them inside my house! Thus, I didn't make it to first block. Furthermore, I learned that I will never again get into a tanning bed without something to block my heels from getting burned. Yes?! My heels actually got burned by the tanning bed and now itch like crazyyyyy! Lastly, I learned that for the past week a huge Gatorade bus has been parked in our school parking lot! Apparently, Camden High School won some kind of award and is now being "tested" by Gatorade. I think Camden High Athletes might even be featured in a commercial! Pretty cool stuff! Too bad I picked this year to not play softball... just my luck!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful time at the Carolina Cup; I know I will!

xoxo

We're hot like tamales!

I am so busy!

As you probably already realize, I have absolutely no time to write blogs anymore! I'm extremely angry that I haven't found the time or the inspiration to share my valuable words on the internet. Words cannot fully express my sadness.

But to update everyone on "the hot stories of my life:"

1. I have been working at Chili's for a little over a week, and I've learned to never again underestimate the toughness of the food industry. It's harder that I ever imagined. Plus, you meet the most rude people! Honestly, I have never witnessed this kind of harsh language before, in my life. The rudeness of some people extremely surprised me! Seriously, there is a difference between a server and a servent!

2. I'm getting crispy! And no, I'm not refering to Chicken, like Madison and Mary Hay believe! I'm actually talking about tanning. During the past week, I've frequently visited the tanning bed in hopes of "not being white" for the Cup this weekend! As expected, I'm not super tan (like I would love to be), but I've managed to aquire a satisfactory bronze! And I would like to announce that I'm well on my way to becoming a guidette!

3. My Spring clothes are missing! As I'm sure everyone knows, Spring is officially here! That means that I can finally wear bright colors, skirts, and shorts. Unfortunately, it seems that all of my Spring wardrobe has gone missing. Honestly, I can't find anything to wear. And worst of all, since I now have a job, my mother has been extremely reluctant to buy clothes for me. Which sucks because Chili's doesn't pay an extreme amount.

Anyways, hopefully, I'll get back to my normal schedule of blogging as soon as possible! But in other news, today I played an old Christina Aguilera CD, and it changed my life! My new favorite song is "Love Will Find A Way"! Even though it's old, it's ahhhmazingggg! Also, another life-changing event took place when I finally went to Yogen Fruz recently! It is also ahhhhmazingggg!

Soooo, I'm off to "hit up" the tanning bed!

How could you be so heartless?!

And no, I am not making a reference to Kanye!
Today, I happened to turn my tv to channel 10, only to find out that Oprah was on. Now usually when I think of the Oprah show, I think of the heartwarming stories that I really don't want to see, cause they make me sad. Today was no different. When I turned on the tv, I got really interested in a story about a woman who last year, was viciously mauled by a friend's chimpanzee. The gruesomeness of the attack sent shivers down my spine! However, it wasn't the detailed description of the attack that really brought me to tears. During the interview, Oprah asked the woman about revealing her face to the world. The woman replied that she would on the Oprah Show because she thought it to be the most tasteful way of approaching this difficult issue. However, what she said next made me utterly sick!

Oprah asked the woman why she insisted on wearing a veil to cover her damages. The woman replied by saying, "There are people who are constantly trying to take my picture to place on the cover of a tabloid. The price for a picture of my damages are extremely high! And I don't want to scare people."

The fact that there are people in our society that would try and invade someone's privacy to that extend truly upsets me. And also, the fact that they are willing to pay to expose the life-altering damages to the world in such a inappropriate manner is revolting! Not only that, but the fact that the victim of the tragety is concerned about scaring people; or the fact that she is even thinking about the harsh reaction of other people at all! What kind of person would look at this woman in a negative light? It brings tears to my eyes and really makes me think long-and-hard about the American society! In my opinion, this woman should be openly accepted and everyone should do their best to attempt to return her life as close to normal as possible.
How could you be so heartless?!

Anyway, sorry about the rambling, I just had to get that off my chest! But okay, I have a confession; I love love love RuPaul's Drag Race! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, It's a show that comes on VH1, starring a bunch of men that love to dress up like Drag Queens! And for some reason, I find the show extremely addictive! So if you have some time, watch it. If you can get past the idea of men dressing up like woman; you'll love it! Also, I would like to announce that I think I'm no longer a trainee at Chili's! I believe that I've finally moved up to official Hostess! It's very exciting! On another note, today is St. Patrick's Day! So of course I wore green today! In my opinion, if you didn't wear green today, you have no holiday spirit; and therefore, cannot be my friend! Well, not really; but still, you should have worn green!

Alright, I'm off to start my Spanish project! ewww.

"Do not open your test booklet until I tell you to do so!"

Probably the most important fact I learned today, was that the SAT is extremely scary! Not only does the test totally exhaust you, but it pretty much determines a course for the rest of your life! So, if you haven't noticed, I'm a little freaked out about the results of todays test, considering I don't really want to end up working at McDonalds for the rest of my life! My scores, however, don't officially get posted for like another month or so, so I've got a little while to calm down. But as long as I don't have to spend the rest of my life asking customers if, "they would like fries with that?", I should be fine.

Also, since I've been working, or training, I've learned something. I've learned to never take for granted the work of a bus boy! While I've been training, I've frequently been asked to help clean off and clear tables. Let me tell you, its really hard work; and sometimes a little nasy. So, from now on, I will never leave a table without (at least) trying to clear off my spot!

Also, it's been rumored that the Jersey Shore cast is going to Miami next season. I wanted to firmly announce that I really don't care where they go, as long as the show comes back on soon!

Okay, I have to start reading "The Devil in White City" for my APUSH class!
Be Smart. Be Fun. Be Sexy!

Oh my heavens!

I am SO excited!

"Some people say you're going the wrong way...

when it's simply a way of your own!" -Angelina Jolie

Hello Hump Day! Today, I am happy to announce that I did not have a Spanish quiz because of an assembly that took up the majority of first block! Yay! Therefore, I'm in a wonderful mood! That's the good news.

The bad news is that I have almost no time to write an interesting blog. Ughhh! It's extremely dissapointing. However, I still have a great announcement to make... I got a job! Rebecca Cobb is an official Chili's Hostess! I'm so excited that I finally may have some money in my pocket! Because lately, my wallet has been a little thin. So, anyway, today I have job training. I don't really know how long that will take; but hopefully I'm a natural at showing guests to their tables! Also, along with my job, I have to have some black pants and a white top. Because I only have one pair of black pants and like two white shirts, I finally have an excuse to go shopping! Double yay!

On another subject entirely, last weekend in Chareston, I got a dress for the Carolina Cup! I can't remember if I mentioned it in my last post or not. But anyway, it is lovely! I am soooooo ready to wear it; I just hope that the weather makes my dress appropriate! For the last two years, the Cup has been horrible because of the rain and cold weather. But I have a really good feeling that this year is going to be really different; at least I hope it will be! So if you don't have anything to do right now, please pray for sunny weather on March 27th!

Here's a picture of my lovely sun dress! Isn't it just, simply adorable!
(and thanks to Madison Wilson for modeling my dress in the photo!)


Dear Lord,
Please let the sun show up on March 27th! I'll be really cold and grumpy if it doesn't!
Love, Rebecca

I'm broke down in the Holy City again!

Happy Tuesday Afternoon!

My weekend was amazing! It was so amazing that I don't even know where to begin when it comes to explaining what happened! Well, as you probably know, I spent the weekend with Chandler in Charleston! The simple fact that I was with Chan made me quite happy, but the fact that we were together in Charleston, made it a million times more enjoyable! Everything from the Cooper River to King Street was absolutely stunning! So instead of just typing "on and on," I'll let you enjoy some pictures from our weekend in Chuck Town!






(Sorry Chan, for that last picture!)

xoxo

I tried to be chill; but you're so hot that I melted!

It's a natural thing for a girl to want to change up her look. Unfortunately for me, my mother and boyfriend are totally against it. They're always commenting on my "lovely dark hair" and "beautiful dark features"! So, I figured there was no harm in trying out new looks on the internet! So for your enjoyment, here are some celebrity hairstyles, on me!

The Taylor Swift!

The Miley!

andddd
The Stephanie Pratt!


Friday kinda rhymes with party! Well, I made it through another school week! And, after recieving progress reports today, I realized that I'm going to have to start working really hard to get the grades I want! But luckily, I have a whole weekend before the "hard work" begins. Anyway, I'm extremely excited about tonight, and the rest of the weekend, because Chandler and I are going to Charleston; along with a few of his family members! It's really great that I get to get away from Camden for a few days; especially considering I have to take the SAT next weekend. So, i'll get to relax a little before stressing over "the biggest test of my life!" While I'm in Chareston, I might even find a Cup dress considering I'm probably the last person in Camden not to have one yet! Keep your fingers crossed! Lastly, yesterday, my grandpa installed my banisters for my room! They are adorable and they really finish off the room! Muchas gracias to my wonderful grandfather who made them! Oh, and just incase you didn't realize, my new railings are in the picture to the left!

Have a sexyyy Friday night!

Loop de loop!

Remember in kindergarten when everyone learned to braid? Okay, well this may come as a shock to you; but I never learned anything about braiding. I was the only one in my class that couldn't braid their hair or complete braided craft projects. Why? Because I couldn't master the delicate art of braiding! Someone would always have to braid for me. It was horrible; and honestly, it was life-altering! During my kindergarten years, all the way through elementary school, braids were in style! Every little girl running around the playground would come to school with stylish braids. They would even sit in class and play beauty shop where, of course, braids were the the latest fashion trend! Well, fortunatly for me, braids went out of style, and I was let off the hook for a few years!

Well, braids are back in! And during the summer, when I first noticed the trend, I made it my ultimate goal to learn to master the dreaded braid. I am proud to announce that I finally did! And today, I actually wore my hair in a cute braid! I was very pleased! So to add to my positive attitude towards braids, I decided to share my absolute favorite braid fashion!

The "Front" Braid!
If you're not a good French-braider, get a friend to help. Or just be patient and practice! First, make a center part, then section off the front of your hair one to two inches from your hairline. Then, Pull the rest of your hair back in a clip to keep it out of your way. Third, Grab a small piece into three small sections. Now tightly braid from one side of your head over to the other, adding more hair as you go along. Fabulous!

It's already Thursday?! Today, was pretty chill. I got up, got ready, and went to school; no biggie! Of course, in first block I had to present my speaking proficency, and it actually went great! I was extremely surprised that I remembered all the lines without getting nervous; but I did! Also, shout out to my wonderful partner, Miss Alicia Bolin! holla! But anyway, I'm really excited because a dancing episode of All-Star Workouts is supposed to come on today on Fit TV! So I'm a little amped! Also, for your enjoyment; I added a few interesting photos!

These pictures always make me smile; so here's some fun from the throw-back pile! (and yes, that did rhyme!)



Loves it!

"Every woman should have...

four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything!" -Paris Hilton

Oooh Paris!
I found this quote today while surfing the internet and found it extremely entertaining. I came to the conclusion that it needs no explanation. This quote speaks for itself!

I thought it was supposed to warm up today! Well, as usual when I try and predict the weather, I'm wrong. It was actually extremely cold today and we actually got some snow last night. Apparently I haven't been paying much attention to the news lately! But anyway, this morning I was pleased to find out that we had a two-hour delay for school; and it was absolutely wonderful! I got to sleep in and most importantly, I didn't have to perform my speaking proficency today! Holla!

So today I was driving in my car, and I noticed a CD in my case that I hadn't seen in a long time. It was JoJo; from like 5th grade! Now you probably don't know this, but I was a huge JoJo fan. She was my hero when I was in middle school! So, needless to say, I rocked out to her songs in my car all afternoon! So that brings up a question I have; Where is JoJo?! The last time I heard anything about her, I was in middle school and just learning to do my own make-up. So, if anyone would like to inform me with this important information, please feel free!

Also, I'm sure you noticed when you logged on, but I gave my blog a make-over; please enjoy!

"You don't know...

anything!" -Common insult told by the majority of Americans; and probably other countries too!

In my 11 years as a part of the public school system in America, I have learned many things. And no, I'm not refering to quadratic equations, run-on sentences, or conjugated verbs! For your enjoyment, here's a list of some extremely important things I've learned throughout my lifetime!

1. Just call me Miley! And yes, if you're wondering, I am refering to Miley Cyrus. Ever since Miley Cyrus became Hannah Montana/Miley Stuart/whoever her scitsofrenic personality claims to be, she has gotten on my very last nerves. Now I realize that she is the role model for many little girls; and I'm not going to lie, I really like some of her music; but she seems to be everywhere! And the fact that I can't escape Miley Cyrus really bothers me. So I have come to the conclusion, that I could be the next Miley! I mean, not only do I have the voice of an angel (cough cough), but I also wouldn't have a problem standing beside Liam Hemsworth without complaining! Thus, making me the perfect Miley Cyrus. I mean, you could practically replace her today; and I promise no one would know the difference!
(ps. Before anyone decides to hate on me; I do have Miley Cyrus as my current ringtone! Bamm!)

2. Barack O-sham-a! First, I would like to admit that I think having an African American as president is a wonderful opportunity for our country. However, in my opinion, I can imagine some much better candidates! By that I am refering to Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., more formally known as Lil' Wayne! Weezy is, first and formost, my hero; and I have decided that Wayne would make an excellent president. For example, speeches would be a hundred times more interesting! You cannot tell me that someone would actually prefer a "two-hour formal address" to a "hot beat and sick flow!" Basically, I have come to the conclusion that Lil Wayne will be president some day!

3. Viva-La-Mexica; No thanks! As many people know, Mexican food is like having a party in every bite! I have come to the point where I strongly disagree! Although I am in love with quesadillas, tacos, and burritos; I have learned that the only thing in every bite of Mexican food... are calories! Considering that my love fest with Mexican cuisine has caused many of my favorite jeans to betray me; Mexican food and myself have decided to break up! Officially!

4. Boats and Hoes! In this day and age, I have learned that you aren't anyone... unless you can quote 'Step Brothers!' Now, I'm not going to brag, but I'm pretty hip when it comes to 'Step Brothers' lingo! So to everyone who wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex, more than anything when you were younger; I salute you!

5. I invented the freakin' poof! Thanks to the MTV hit series, 'Jersey Shore'! I've learned that the hottest thing to be in society today, is a guido or guidette! If you're hot, tan, have a freakin' poof, and love to fist pump; you'll naturally succeed in anything you do. Lucky for me, I'm 100% freakin' guidette babaayyy! Well, not really. But sometimes I do like to pretend! GTL (gym, tan, landry) 4eva!

6. You're like a drug to me! Well, let me begin by saying that I absolutely love the Twilight Series! I'm practically you're average Bella! However, I don't believe that I am a vampire. Due to the success of the series, there are probably millions of kids actually thinking they're a vampire. Not only does the situation make me laugh; it also makes me kinda freaked out. I mean, if a person chased me, thinking they were a vampire and threatening to suck my blood... I would be a little afraid! So, I've learned to never trust anyone who believes that Edward Cullen is their vampire friend!

7. Ummm; the slow lane is that way! This little paragraph applies to anyone who has ever been in a hurry. If you are constantly late for things, you know what I'm talking about. In my 17 years of life, I have learned that being late is not your fault! Honestly, everyone knows that when you are in a hurry it seems like every grandma in town is in front of you! So, I've discovered that being late is just a fact of life. But just so you know, if you get in my way... their will be consequences!

8. Spanish is of the devil! Today, I had a Spanish test; and it really taught me that there is no hope for my Spanish career! Number one, I don't understand a word of it. Number two, it makes me extremely angry! Now, I realize it's supposed to be the "easiest foreign language to learn... blah blah blah!" But guess what, it's not and neither is the page-long speaking proficency I have to memorize tonight. ugh! No me gusta el Espanol!


9. The 'Wonderful' Wizarding World of Harry Potter! If I had one wish, I would wish that I could go to Hogwarts! Why you ask? Why not?! Everyone knows that Harry Potter was, pretty much, the most amazing series ever written! Thus, the new theme park at Universal Studios will be the most wonderful thing evaaa! I am unbelievably jealous of everyone that gets to go; because I might not be able to for a while! However, I have learned to never give up; and you can believe that I will never give up on my dreams to attend the new theme park! If you don't like Harry Potter... you suck!

10. My blog is so hottt; yours is so not! One of the most important things I've learned, is that the blogging community is vicious! I mean, when I started blogging, I was literally trembling! Bloggers are very sensitive about their followers and posts! However, I'm officially announcing that... "it is on!" And that goes for you Abby... who's is currently sailing around the world! My blog is totally hotter than yours, and you know it. Be afraid, be very afraid!

I've been 17 for a whole week? What?! It's Tuesday! And that means that I'm one step closer to Friday; yay! Well, today was pretty hard. Why? Because I had my second chapter test in Spanish. And it was almost just as hard as the first one. I'm so discouraged about my Spanish ability! And tomorrow will be even worse! Tomorrow I have my dreaded speaking proficency! And it's practically fact that I will mess up and forget the whole thing! Ugh! But whatev, for the rest of the afternoon I plan to study my butt off!

Okay, I'm off to pick my sister up from school! Ta-ta!

xoxo

"Back to reality...

oopps, there goes gravity!" -Eminem

Reality bites!

And I'm not talking about reality shows; although sometimes they do suck! What I really mean is, when you're brought back to reality by a bad situation. If you woke up this morning and had to go to school or work... you know what I mean. Sometimes, it seems that when everything is going perfectly, or you're really having a good day, reality sets in and everything crashes down!

Unfortunately, this happens to everyone. Everyone has experienced one moment that can totally screw up everything! The bad part is, that these moments usually occur in the most unnecessary circumstances! For example, last year, I was having a really good week. I was making really good test grades and, to be honest, I had looked pretty everyday that week. Well, Friday afternoon I had a softball game; and I had forgotten my entire uniform! Ughh! I was utterly annoyed! Anyway, after school, I drove right home (really fast) to grab my clothes before we were supposed to be at the field. I ran inside, grabbed my jersey and headed toward the car. Right when I got outside, I saw that my car had a flat tire! Just my luck!

Situations like this happen everyday! The important thing to remember is that everyone will understand a "bad day". Since it happens to everybody; it's easy for people to relate. Also, it's important to realize that it's not the situation that is important; it's how you react to the situation! If you approach the bad situation with a positive attitude, it always makes everything better!

Soooo, since I'm talking about "Reality", I figured I could name some of my all-time favorite Reality Shows:

10. John and Kate Plus 8!
9. The Buried Life!
8. What Not To Wear!
7. The Hills!
6. Laguna Beach!
5. The Real Housewives of...!
4. America's Next Top Model!
3. The Real World!
2. The Biggest Loser!
... and...
1. The Bachelor! (Season Finale Tonight!)

Oohh Monday! Today, I had a really hard time getting out of bed. I don't know if I stayed up too late, or if I was just tired from the weekend? Either way, I was really dreading my alarm! Once I got to school, the day only got worse. It was when I realized how busy my week was that I got really depressed. Today I had my APUSH essays; tommorrow I have my Chapter 2 Spanish test; and Wednesday I have my Spanish Speaking Proficiency! Ugh! Basically, tonight I'm going to be hitting the books; literally! Also, today I picked my classes for next year. My senior year was supposed to be super easy; but it turned out to be super hard. I have signed up for mulitple AP classes, and I'm kinda freaked out. But right now, I still have to worry about this year!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday afternoon! Adios amigos!

xoxo

There are times in life...

when the only thing you can do, is be utterly speechless.



Today feels like one of those days. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am!

"I look once more...

just around the riverbend; Beyond the shore; Where the gulls fly free; Don't know what for; What I dream the day might send; Just around the riverbend!" -Pocahontas

Disney has always been known for making films that can relate to real life. In the movie Pocahontas, the Indian princess is forced to choose between two ways of life. Her choice is represented in her song, "Just Beyond the Riverbend". In the song, Pocahontas must choose between two courses of river. The smooth and gentle path, or the unrealiable, ever-changing course.

Many times in our life we are faced with important decisions. These choices can utterly change the course of our lives. One bad decision can permanatly devestate your outcome as easy as one good choice can better your future. Most of the time, when facing important decision, people don't always look ahead. Many don't understand the effects that one choice can have on a person now or in future years. My advice for everyone would be to consider all possible outcomes before making an important choice. Consider how the decision you make will effect yourself and others. Make a choice that will not only positively effect your life now, but many years into the future.

While some decisions can create major changes in your livestyle; others are simply difficult because of personal taste! Today, I went prom dress shopping. When I left my house this morning I knew in my head the dress I wanted; and I was confident that they would have my perfect gown. Over the past few weeks I had literally stalked this dress and had warned my friends about buying it. So, when I got to CBs in Lancaster, I was ready to purchase my perfect prom gown. Fortunatly, they had my dress... however, it was 8 sizes too large! So, being that prom is too close to order a dress from the internet and expect to have it altered, I was left to skim through the selections they had availiable. Because the store is so wonderful; everything I tryed on, I loved! I can honestly say that I tried on at least 9 dresses that I fell in love with! Unfortunatly, you can only wear one to prom. So I was left with an important decision. Should I choose the fun animal print, the flirty pink number with the lovely back, or the teal dress that my mother loved (this is also the dress that my mother loved a month ago while I was trying on pageant dresses!)? I had no idea what to do!

But, with the help of my wonderful consultant, I narrowed my selection to two beautiful dresses. I had to choose between the pretty teal dress and the black and whilte giraffe print gown. Although the decision between two prom dresses doesn't sound like a huge deal; I had to consider every possible outcome of my decision. If I were to choose the teal dress, it would be pretty, but it wouldn't have made me feel like a princess. However, when I wore the black dress I felt stunning. So finally, I made a decision and the black dress is all mine! So, like I said earlier, my advice to everyone would be to consider the outcomes of your decisions. Whether they be big and life-altering, or small like prom dress shopping; think before you act!

Happy Saturday! Like I mentioned above, today I picked out the perfect prom dress! I'm so excited! Rachel, my sister, also picked out a dress that looks lovely on her. I wish April would hurry up and arrive because I'm dying for prom night! Anyway, I think today Rachel, Lindsey, and I are going to have a girl's day and watch movies! But first, I think I'm going to take a little nap. I'm dead tired.

Here is a picture of my dress from the internet! I have the one with the pink tie! In my opinion, it looks better on me than in the photos; But enjoy anyway!

"Find a guy...

who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her'!" - Unknown

As surprising as it is, I haven't yet dedicated a blog to Chandler David Jones; and he constantly reminds me. So, today; February 26th, I will dedicate my blog post in honor of my amazing boyfriend, Mr. Chandler Jones!

Almost a year and a half ago, I started dating the wonderful Mr. Jones. Although it hasn't exactly been a fairy tale; I'll admit, that we've shared some "magic" moments. So I thought, what a better way to explain our relationship than stating five things that I find amazingly attractive within Senor Chandler?! Here they are:

5)The way he talks is simply adorable! Okay, that sounds kinda strange, but it is true. Chandler has a habit of making up little sayings or statements; and they are hilarious. I can honestly state, that he makes me laugh every single day. And everyone knows that the way easiest way to enter a girl's heart is to make her laugh!

4) He's a true gentlemen! My name is Rebecca Cobb, and I have extremely high standards; and I'm sure Chandler will agree. I was raised to believe that a man should always do certain things for a woman. This means opening doors, paying for dinner, and always having a jacket on-hand in case the lady gets cold. Now I'm sure your saying that chivalry is dead... blah blah blah; but not in our relationship. Chandler does an excellent job of displaying actions of a true Southern gentlemen; enough to please my high standards!

3) He has goals! In my opinion, the biggest turnoff is a guy who doesn't plan ahead for his future. There is absolutely not chance, what-so-ever, that I will end up with someone who doesn't have any aspirations. Chandler is the opposite; thank God! He actually has personal dreams and goals for himself. And it's the most amazing thing to see someone you care about, try and succeed.

2) He has his priorities in order! Priorities are a big issue in relationships. Girls want to be high on their boyfriend's priority list; but not higher than the things that are most important. Chandler has figured out what is most important. It was neccessary for a boyfriend of mine, to understand the importance of God and family. In my opinion, a girlfriend should fall into the third (or tied with second) category. Chandler knows the importance of his faith and his family; it's a major positive!

1) He's my best friend! Most importantly, Chandler David Jones and I are best friends. We just seem to naturally "click-together!" I can tell him anything and I can always trust him with my secrets. It's extremely important that a boyfriend and girlfriend connect on many levels. One of the levels is definately friendship. If you aren't friends, how are you ever supposed to be more? The fact that Chandler and I share that unique bond really brings us together!

In my opinion, I have the greatest boyfriend in the world. Even though we have fights; it doesn't effect how close we are. I look forward to spending a long time with Mr. Chandler David Jones!





ps. Chandler, if you are reading this; I'm sorry!

" I need a vacation!" - Jeezy!

I've got the winter blues! The weather for the last two days has been absolutely freezing. Plus, there is a horrible wind blowing that sends a shiver straight down to my bones. Basically, Camden, South Carolina is really really cold!

At the beginning of February, that dang groundhog saw his shadow. That meant that we would be recieving 6 more weeks of winter! Well, I'm at my wits-end. I've always considered myself a more of a "warm girl". Although the winter provides some amazing holidays and the opportunity for snow; I've always loved the spring and summer months! So, I'm getting a little antsy for a warm-up. Because of my anxiety, I figured I would take the opporunity to "heat-up" my blog a little! Well, everyone knows that the summer months are all about taking amazing vacations. During May, June, July, and August people flock from all over the world to enjoy many lavish vacation spots. Well, the hottest vacation destinations have officially been updated. So I thought I'd add a little heat and officially take everyone on a little vacation by announcing the top ten, best vacation spots in the world!

10. Bora Bora! These French Polynesian islands are among the most beautiful islands in the world. The crystal clear waters and white sands have attracted many people; especailly for honeymoons. Celebs like Charlize Theron, Sharon Stone, and Nicole Kidman have enjoyed this island paradise.


9. Turtle Island, Fiji! What do you get when you add one island, 100 staff, 14 private beaches, and a maximum of 14 couples... the perfect vacation spot. The privately owned island in the South Pacific accommodates no more than 28 guests at any given time, creating an environment of total privacy and seclusion. Turtle Island has played host to couples like Brittany Spears and Kevin Federline, and Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey!

8. Boracay! Also in the Asian Pacific, the island of Boracay provides one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the world. Boracay is the perfect destination for both those seeking relaxation and those in search of adventure.

Hello Sunshine! I'm so excited that the weekend is almost here. I've had such a stressful week. Unfortunatly, next week is even more packed; but I'm not thinking about that right now. So, this weekend I'm really excited about picking out my prom dress. I'm going shopping Saturday and hopefully I'll pick a truly amazing gown.

Wish me luck!
