isugrad2012's blog

I am 23 and a graduate of Iowa State University. This blog is about the shenanigans that go on in my life.

I graduated!!
Finally done with college. Done with tests, homework, 2 am study sessions, and partying in the dorms. I still can't believe that all those years of hard work, and its over in a day. I am happy its over, but i'm not ready for the post-graduation

And i'm royally freaking out. Albeit i'm super excited as well, but the pressure is getting to me. I still have to decide where i'm going to move, whether i'm gonna attempt to find a roommate or live alone, and find a job (preferably in my field

Another question....
Where do you draw the line between doing what you need to do and taking time for yourself?

I went to the doctor this morning about the condition i mentioned a few weeks ago. They had to do a pelvic ultrasound and run some more lab work. They told me that i have cysts on my ovaries, and with the other symptoms i have, it turns out that i have

I finally spoke up...
I may have hurt a few people's feelings, but do i care? No. The truth needed to be heard. I spoke up to a guy from my past that i've been talking to lately and a friend that keeps bitching about her boyfriend's best friend and how much she hates

I always want what i cant have....
And this situation is no different. I constantly fall for guys i can't have, and play it out in my head to where i think they like me. The current guy i like works at the video store i rent my movies from, his name is Nick, 25, and he's worked t

Saturday evening
You're not alone in the love affair with everything bad, it's a love affair i've been trying to end for years now. As far as the Wendy's goes, we all slip up, we eat stuff we shouldn't eat, but don't beat yourself up over it. Try to let go of the read the rest
