VACCANCY.COM--BLOG SCHOLARSHIP

Recently, I've moved from Baltimore to York on a voyage most young adults set sail on in their late teens. Yes, I'm talking about the college experience. I've heard stories about college, but nothing amounted to what I've been going through for the past month. My campus is a commuter campus and therefore means there aren't any dorms available. I unfortunately failed my license test and therefore do not own a car. So now I was faced with two problems; where was I going to live and how was I going to get to and from school? Searching for an apartment was not an easy task, being bombarded with too much information to grasp I began to panic. I was recommended to search on http://www.vacancy.com to look for a suitable apartment. Once I visited the website all my questions had been answered, an affordable apartment with accessories and was in walking distance of my campus! Can you say IDEAL?! So excited and full of anxiousness to live in this nice cozy apartment that I can call my own. A sense of independence, freedom, and maturity was instantly obtained when my family and I went to visit the apartment. I had the ability to be alone and socialize whenever I wanted to. The appliances were immaculate, I just can't wait to move out of my family members home and into one I can call my own!

"One mans hell is another mans heaven . ."

I'm so emotional and stressed, and its as if nobody can relate to the way I'm feeling. In the next 14 days I'll be shipping out on a new life away from everything I once knew before. The bickering and arguing is exhausting, especially when it's over the smallest shit. With each new argument I creep more and more out the doorway, with each cherishable moment and I find myself walking back into the house. I wake up with new feelings every morning, and a old emotions every night. Constantly battling my feelings with my actions, I act angry when I'm feeling nervous and cry hysterically when I'm excited. This is such an extremely new adjustment I'm going through.. and I'm jst trying to get the best fit.

If Love Had a Face

If Love Had a Face, it'd be you
Kisses from the sun cant even amount to
A gift from God, and a blessing so true
If Love Had a Face, it'd be you

Fights with no purpose, we all go mute
Rather go breathless than to argue or dispute
To me you're like the air that roams through a flute
If Love Had a Face, it'd be you

Doing everything old, acting like it's new
A feeling so pure it's obtained by just a few
There's no a vein your love hasn't seeped through
If Love Had a Face, it'd be you . . <3

Just poured a piece of my heart
and tad of my soul into this poem..

Jordan R. Wren,
I love you.

Hits The Fan

PART ONE Im a lot different from people in my age group. Most people can't see where their life is going within the next ten days, let alone the next years. I have a game plan that I've been creating and editing for as long as I can remember. I made it my goal to NEVER be like those I've grown around and to never blame my misfortunes on my environment. I've never been the type to point fingers because something in MY life didn't go right. Most of the time I blame myself even for the events that could not have been avoided. The amount of stress I put on myself probably isn't appropriate, but I feel as though I work and accomplish so much more when under stress..which is why I always keep the stress level high. It really annoys me when someone who's suppose to be a support factor isn't there. Always have something to say and someone to say it to, but doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. PART TWO I have 2 options for my life; To pursue my dream and become an amazing magazine journalist or settle for the "Average-Joe" lifestyle.. Getting a 9-5 job, coming home to a great family, then getting up the next morning to do it all over again. It's nothing wrong with that life, but I can't imagine myself living that way. I need the fast pace life the city has to offer, going to red-carpet events so I can cover the story the next day is more my speed. But what am I giving up? Is my potential family more important than my potential success? This is a constant battle I'm being faced with now, and that I'm probably going to be faced with as I get older. When does marriage and children come into play when I'm plane hopping from city to city to fulfill my job title? Guess the answer to all my questions will be answered sooner or later..

Coin Flip

Day after day we're constantly given the chance to make good and/or bad decisions. Some of us choose what we believe is right, while other choose what's wrong on purpose. Flipping the coin of life, sometimes we get heads and other times we get tails. When people aim for tails, it can be assumed they want attention. More than likely they want POSITIVE attention from NEGATIVE actions. What comes off as entertaining to some, hurts others. Imaturity is the leading cause in bad decision making. Some of us aren't mature enough to understand that getting a quick laugh out of our peers can come with grave consequences. People often don't think outside of their shallow box, their thoughts don't get much deeper than "Maybe if I make this joke or maybe if I pretend to be tough people will think Im cool?" That's all people want; acceptance. But WHY ?! Why is the acceptance of others soo important? You're that ashamed of who you are that you have to manipulate a Lie that you call "life" in order to feel comfortable? Insecurities roam that deep in your soul, that the clothes you buy and the $200 dollar shoes you were so pressed to get, cant hide who YOU are so stop trying. Let people see you for who you really are. You're not this person that's a "player" nor the type to fail classes, so WHY are you portraying actions that don't match your personality? The people you're soo keen on impressing will eventually fade away. You see, as jokes get old so do we. The same ol' "LOL" moments you once use to share with the "cool" ppl eventually aren't funny anymore. So then where does that leave you? Ask yourself, how do you want to be remembered..as the follow or the leader?

Ohh That's Cool

The rate of teen smoking has become astronomical within the past year. It's like everywhere look, I either see someone about to skip class to get high, or people posting pictures of them with smoke blowing out their mouth. I'm not judging, nor do I care what people do with their lives...But It's annoying when I see people who have been athletes all their lives or honor roll students getting kicked off teams and failing because they wanna be "cool" and smoke. This post isn't directed at one particular person nor one specific group...If you're taking this to heart, then maybe you need to rethink the value of your actions. People drink, people smoke...I as well as the rest of the world is well aware of this..That's fine, I can careless. The concern comes into play when people start turning into things they aren't. Putting on a "front" for others so that they are still considered "cool." Participating in events they wouldn't of participated in a year ago, becoming a person they would be ashamed of it they looked at themselves from a different perspective. It seems as though sudden music popularity is increasing this phenomenon, artist such as Wiz Khalifa and Yo Gotti who praise the art of smoking are affecting the way of life for many young adults who want to follow and emulate these celebrities. If you want to smoke, who am I to stop or judge you? But do it because you want to, not because you want accreditation from your peers. Not because you want "clout." Be yourself, Be your own person, it's not illegal. .

Healthy vs. NON-Healthy

Now, I understand that it's no one's business what happens between you and your significant other. But there's a difference between a healthy and NON-Healthy relationship...Teen domestic violence is at its highest peek ever and yet it's going ignored. Young girls and guys are being harmed, threaten, and even killed by someone they thought they "loved" and "trusted." And domestic violence is not only physical. It can be verbal or mental abuse. So please, always remember love does not hurt. .

Feliz Anos Nuevos !

Going back in time for inspiration seems

priority.
