Karma is not a bitch.

So the one thing I believe strongest about in the whole entire world, is Karma. I feel that everything happens for a reason, the energy you put into the world is what you get back out, and most importantly the way you treat others is the way you will be treated.

So I'm just going to start off with how the world works. I truly know that things happen exactly the way they are meant to and in the long run everything is going to be ok. I have found that when I look back on the bad things that have happened in my life, only good came from it. Yes, at the time I might have freaked out and thought my life was over. It just seems that one bad thing has only led to something even better. This outlook on life has taught me a lot. It's helped me stay positive and not give up because I know what ever is going on, is happening for a special reason; so that something even better can show up in my life. My mom is the one who taught me this, ever since I was really little and I think that her teaching me this has definitely effected me only positively in life. My mom has taught me so many amazing lessons. The two other most important things she reminds me on a daily basis are; treat people the way you want to be treated and to always be positive, because when you are you will only get positivity back into your life.

This is why when I see people constantly complaining on Facebook, or whining non stop to their friends it drives me crazy. Of course everyone vents and everyone complains once in a while, its a part of life. But when someone is constantly negative and constantly putting the bad energy into whatever room they are in it really just effects everyone. At the time of dilemmas, I really wish everyone could always breathe, and remember everything is going to be fine. And trust me I know, this can be extremely difficult at times when something upsetting is going on, but after a while you will realize that bad event only happened to better your life. Positive thoughts only make positive outcomes!

My third and favorite lesson my mom really stresses is karma! What goes around, really does come around. This helps me to always treat people the way I want to be treated. This can be hard sometimes, especially when there is someone who doesn't deserve to be treated nicely at all. Maybe they were rude to you or are just overall a bad person. I know a lot of people like that in my life, and all I do is either stick up for myself and say whatever I need to say, to defend myself without being too unnecessarily rude. Or better yet I just ignore them because I know that something will happen to them because of their mean, rude behavior; and they will get treated just as bad one day and they will know how it feels. I encountered a situation today where I tried my hardest not to just blurt all the extremely rude, sassy comments I truly wanted to say to a really rude girl in one of my classes. She just decided to be the nasty girl she is and say really mean things, and called me a pretty unnecessary name. Don't fret because I held my composure stuck up for myself in a non-rude way and walked away calmly knowing she has some bad Karma coming her way. The universe will not let her get away with what she did, I'm positive. People need to know they can't treat people however they want to and not get away with it. That's where Karma comes in. Remember Karma is a bitch, only if you are. :)

Literary Escape

I went to Book-Lovers Paradise for the first time this weekend and it's such a quaint place. It's a family-owned bookstore that runs on donations and there are some excellent books there. The mismatched furniture makes it very homey. I found a Nutrition and Physical Fitness book from 1973 and an Analysis of Human Motion book from 1962 there. I have a French-English dictionary from 1962 as well. There's just something about old books that really gets me excited. It makes me think of all the people way back who must have benefited from that book before me. I love old things, they just feel historic. I would recommend checking it out, they have multiple book clubs that sound like a lot of fun.

Klub Kaoss

Personally, I don't think people realize what they're doing to themselves when they line up for pictures at Kaoss. Anyone can see them because they're posted on an open facebook profile. Girls take this opportunity to "let loose" and "go wild", when in reality they're just using a random teenage boy as a pole. Just saying. Don't get me wrong, im sure it's fun and all. I realize there's no rules at Kaoss, but all classy girls should still have standards.

Mall Frustrations

One of my biggest annoyances in the world are people who do not have common sense and/or do not understand what they are hired to do. It is the most annoying thing in the world when you (a paying customer!) need help and the employees are either too rude or incompatent to help.

To start with at Forever 21 my friend really loved these shoes that were on the mannequinn and for those of you who have been to that store it is very unorganized so she asked an employee for help. Well, the first person did not even know what we were talking about and sent us to the dressing room to ask the girl in there. This prissy little girl treated us like we were a bother to her! What does she think she is getting paid to do? Sit there on her phone and stare at all the clothes? She glared at us and said, "Did you look in the shoe section." Wow you know what, I never thought to look there! You have been such a great help thank you for caring about the people who pay for YOUR paycheck! Ugh they need to train their workers to treat their customers with more respect!

The last store we went to was Charlotte Russe and it was not much better. The line looped around the store, there was one person and the registers and he did not have a clue what he was doing. He spent five minutes on each person taking his sweet time from scanning the shirts multiple times, to folding them at an incredibly slow pace and putting them in each bag gently and pausing for dramatic effect? And he kept asking me all these questions! How should I know do I work here! Plus I was in a hurry because I had somewhere to be in 20 min. and when I got home I realized he had not taken the security tag off the shirt! Stores need to be much more proactive in training their employees

Dress Dilemma

Ohkay so I found the perfect prom dress! Or so I thought... rumor has it that another girl is going to buy the same one! I'm friends with her but I wouldn't be going in the same group... so should I buy it or no? It's only $180... And should I ask her if it's ohkay for me to get it? I really like it a lot and I already have shoes that would match with it... HELP!!!!

Weak To Strong With Bumps Along the Road

I started Physical Therapy on Friday for my back. My back has been in a lot of pain while I sit, stand, lie down, or do any physical activity. The diagnosis was that my right side, my dominant side, is weaker. I was taught some stretches to help ease the pain and strengthen my right side.  I also found out that I cannot run anymore because the up and down movement of my back was to rapid when I run. I am only allowed to walk, swim, and use an elliptical. This really frustrated me because I am used to running a lot and participating in quite a lot of physical activity.I did the stretches 3 times a day Friday through Sunday. Then on Monday I woke up to so my stretches before school. I began them and then back froze up and the severe pain began. I could not move to roll over to get up but I decided to push through the pain. I could barely walk. I laid in bed the whole day and could not move in bed at all. It was the worse pain I have ever been in. I was really frustrated because my back was starting to feel better and now I couldn't even move. The next day my shoulder and neck still really hurt. I took it easy hoping for it to heal fast! Today I had to go to school because I can't miss anymore school. I am still in pain but I did do some stretching today. I am hoping to recover fast and am very excited for my next Physical Therapy appointment.

School start time

So our school start time should definately be changed. I mean 7:45 is waaaaay too early, I still feel asleep and most likely I'm gonna crash at some time during the day. There was even a study at this one school i forgot where that started school and hour later and their test scores went up. The teen body clock starts at 9 and we would be more refreshed and awake in class, so doesn't our school want fresh awake students? Something to ponder about.
