PRETTY MUCH BEST SUMMER EVER 2012
Alrighty, I guess I’ll update you guys now! Sorry, I kinda forgot that we were supposed to be doing this. Well, my first year so far at APU has been nothing less than amazing!! I seriously love it SO FREAKING MUCH. It has kinda pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and actually socialize with people. Me, socializing? Crazy, I know. My roommates, (Rachel, Christina, and my “fourth roommate” Lauren) are some of the greatest people I have met, and I’ve become so close to them in the short amount of time that I’ve known them. However, they will never replace you guys, Megan, Kim, and Sarah. But yeah, they have really taught me a lot about myself and it’s definitely been an eye-opening and humbling experience to have to live in a small room with three (sometimes 4) girls. It has surprised me how many close friends I’ve made while at school and I seriously feel so blessed to be at a school where everyone is so accepting and kind.
My Roommates! <3
Bradley:
So, I guess I should update you in the situation with Brad haha. So since I have a long time, I will give you the long version :). It will probably be boring, so you can skip ahead if you want. So, I met him in the very beginning of the school year, probably around the second week of school. I had seen him one night and the next day I kept telling my roommate, Christina, how I thought he was super cute. The next night, my other roommate, Rachel, and I were hanging out in the lobby of my dorm and up walks Brad with his friend, Andy, and they introduced themselves to us. He seemed pretty cool and dorky and I didn’t exactly have a crush on him, but I still thought he was super cute. I remember that he kept trying to make me sign up for a quidditch team that this really weird kid from our school was trying to start hahaha. So, the next night, my fake husband at the time, Kyle, and I had to get a divorce because Kyle was getting an actual girlfriend. I went up to Brad and asked him if he wanted to be my fake fiancé, and he said sure. So, then him, my friend, John, and I went to the Den (this restaurant on campus), and John and Brad kept whispering and stuff and I was like “What the heck is going on?” So, John takes me to the center of the Den (btdubbs, it was super crowded at this time) and Brad walks up behind me, gets down on one knee with a ring made out of the wax from Babybel cheese and says, “Emily, will you marry me?” Everyone in the Den starts to cheer and clap and people kept saying “Do it! Do it!” Oh my gosh, it was soooo embarrassing. And no, I swear I’m not making this up. So I eventually said yes, and the rest of the night, we went around trying to convince people that we were engaged. But, after that night, we went back to being just friends and eventually we broke off our engagement. He thought I was super crazy and he was really mean to me for about a month and a half because he thought I was totally in love with him. (Ok, maybe I was, but I tried to convince everyone that I wasn’t.)
My lovely engagement ring :)
Until GYRAD (Get Your Roommate A Date). My roommates got Brad for me, and we went on a photo scavenger hunt. Brad and I decided to just take a bunch of pictures of ourselves and when we went through all the pictures we were like, “and this is a picture of us giving a stranger a dollar.” We thought it was incredibly hilarious, but our friends didn’t think it was that funny. So yeah, that was a great bonding moment for us. But at the end of the night, he started being really mean to me, and I ran to my friend, Joe, who I have a very strange relationship with, but I’ll have to fill you in on him later. So, anyway, because I hung out with Joe so much, and especially that night, I think that Brad thought that I liked Joe. But, eventually Brad and I started talking a lot more and we started to hang out one-on-one instead of with our group of friends. We would stay out every night until 3 a.m. and just talk about nothing. One night, we stayed up til 8:30 in the morning just watching movies (namely A Very Potter Musical :) ) on the lawn outside all night. He even had work that morning at 9! We had started to act like a couple. We would hang out all the time and he would put his arm around me and we would cuddle and hold hands. Our friends even couldn’t stand to be around us, it was great. Then, over winter break, we talked on Facebook every single day for hours on end and we couldn’t wait to see each other again. Then, the week we got back to school, we started hanging out a lot again, and before the week was over, he asked me out on a date. I said yes, but then went back to my room and thought, “Why aren’t I more excited about this?” I thought about it a lot and came to the conclusion that I didn’t like him anymore and that I thought of him as only a friend. And I know, you’re probably thinking that I could have just gone on the date and tried it out, but both Brad and I knew that this date meant that we were going to take our relationship to the “next level” and it wouldn’t have been fair for me to go on the date and then say I didn’t like him like that. So, one night I sat him down and gave him the typical “I think we should just be friends” speech. It was so hard! He even started to tear up :( But he kept saying, “It’s fine.” And then, he was like, “do you wanna get something to eat?” and then we had the most awkward meal in the history of awkward meals. After, he was walking me back to my dorm and I asked him a stupid question about his mail or something, trying to make some type of conversation, and he was like “Why do you think we should just be friends? I don’t think this date would ruin our friendship.” I felt so horrible!! Ahhhh, I don’t even remember what I said to that, but I seriously felt like such a bitch. After that night, things were substantially awkward between us. We still talked and stuff, but we kept getting into these really stupid fights and it just seemed like he kinda hated me. Then one night, I sent him a super long message on Facebook about how I hated that our friendship sucked so much now and how I miss him, and he sent back a super long message about how he felt the same way and it made me cry! One thing he said was, “I wish you would see yourself the way I see you. Because you are honestly so beautiful and it makes me sad that you don’t see that in yourself.” Oh my gosh, I was seriously like bawling. I kept thinking, “Did I just end something with the only guy that has ever actually liked me?!?” But my roommates assured me that I had done the right thing. So basically, after that our friendship began to improve a lot and now we are pretty good friends again. Not anywhere near where we used to be, because he was honestly my best friend for a while. I know that I’ve never been through a breakup, but this definitely felt like one. I miss the friendship/relationship that we used to have, but I’m happy the way things are now. So, yeah, sorry that that was so long haha.
I liked how he was ok with my weirdness.
I guess I’ll just update you guys on the rest of my life in a future post, since this one’s so long. I hope that you enjoyed my dramatic, overly long story of my “almost relationship.”
Hey, so I got WordPress on my iPhone so now I have no excuse to not post on here! :D so I’m not the best writer and I don’t communicate we’ll so this will probably a huge mass of words that aren’t very well organized. And since this is on my phone there might be some weird autocorrect things xD yay!
Kay, time for an update:
School:
My second semester seems fine. I’m taking intro to bio, eng1a, intro to psych, intro to stats, strength training and track.
Bio seems okay. I think I’m getting a B in the class. My teacher is pretty cool. He’s dorky and funny. He likes avatar: the last airbender, and other dorky things so it’s fun to talk to him. I can’t wait to get all the prerequisites done to do anatomy!
I think I might get a not so great grade in English. I’ll have to retake it :/ I just can’t get the whole rhythm and the feel of writing. But my teacher is pretty okay. He’s funny as well.
Psych is interesting. The mind is so mysterious and just wow. But the actual class is kinda boring. I try to stay up in class by eating. And there’s this guy who is kinda my friend because he liked my gir jacket on the first day of school. I may have told you guys about this: he tried going in for a hug once and I awkwardly stood there with a “you seriously think i will let you hug me” look and he stopped xD I don’t enjoy hugs from people I’m not comfortable with. Yeah. I’m awesome at awkwardness.
Stats seems alright. My teacher likes to say um a lot and he repeats a lot and goes off on long math tangents so I fall asleep. But I don’t miss anything.
So many things to do! I really need to talk to my counselor. I wanna transfer to long beach city college. Go to massage therapy school since it takes 9 months then I could get a well paying job like my brother. See about transferring to cal state long beach and being a physical therapist (if I still want to be one). So many things! Gotta sort them out!
Track:
Track is tougher thank cross country. It’s more about speed instead of placing. I don’t plan on running competitively at my four year because it’s even faster at a four year. I love competing and I know I’m going to miss it when I’m done. I’m going to hopefully run some marathons and stuff. I don’t like biking or swimming very much so triathlons and such are not on my bucket list.
My team overall is pretty awesome. They’re a fun bunch, but not the same fun as LHHS. It’s college. It’s different. There’s a thrower on the team who can throw Olympic distances I think and his name is Remy (the one is red, alex in the grey is his brother). My captain, Ashley, would tell him to pick me up and throw me because I’m the smallest on the team xP
So on Friday we had a track meet at saddleback and I do believe I qualified to run in our leagues preliminary meet? I’m not totally sure, this is my first track season xD so far my personal records are 5:25 for 1500 meters and 2:42 for 800 meters C: we have some invitationals coming up so hopefully I’ll pr some more C:
Friends:
I miss you guys so much. Everyday. It’s not the same with these new people. It may be because I only got close to my team but it seems whenever I talk or someone else talks its a competition. Everything I say must be one up’d . When I talk with you guys it’s not a competition of who knows more, who’s been through more. When we talk we don’t talk to each other like we’re stupid.
I dunno. Its not the same. I’m not as comfortable.
Boys:
Ben. Ben is cute. He is quite attractive (i steal pictures from Facebook if you can’t tell). Sarah got to see him at my last track meet. He didn’t go to the one Megan and Greg went to though :/ he’s cute and dorky but I just don’t know him. I like his voice. It sounds nice when he talks. I would ask him if he’d wanna hang out or something but his car was totaled earlier this year because someone hit it when it was just parked. So no car. And I can’t talk to him on Facebook because he doesn’t go on very much. Ahhhh! I have to talk to him in person :| what is this?! Jk, but yeah. I wanna get to know him before doing anything.
So there. Update. Done! Kim out. Peace. Word. Yea.
My jaw has been locked up and is sore and painful, I switched birth control and my body isn’t used to it yet and I’ve been bleeding and having cramps every day, I’ve been having horrible migraines, and I’m just now getting over my cold…it’s been a hell couple of weeks!!
But in OTHER news…I miss you guys!
My Valentine’s day was mostly going to class and doing nothing except taking stupid notes. Greg and I saw the Vow at night and I actually really loved it, but it made me cry so much – it had a horrible ending (well okay it wasn’t HORRIBLE but it was really sad…). I would still recommend going and seeing it though, because Channing Tatum is sooooo freaking hawt…and you get to see his abs multiple times…AND his cute butt too…

Oh and Rachel McAdams was in it too, and she looked so drop-dead gorgeous, I just wanted to steal her hair and her clothes and her face….I’M NOT WEIRD OK
How was your guys’ Valentine’s Days???
<3 :) Megan
Love this picture ;)
It all started at Thanksgiving dinner, 2011. Passing the butter from one to the other, we became the Sisterhood of the Traveling Butter (kind of like…the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares). Cheesy? No, buttery. Stupid? Maybe.
In any case, we’re best friends, the four of us: Sarah, Emily, Kim, and me – Megan, and that isn’t cheesy or stupid. We go to four different colleges, now: UCI, APU, Saddleback College, and CSULB, respectively. Even though we’re far apart, we still love each other and will continue to share the “butter” with one another.
SO here are the rules to govern the use of the traveling butter:
