From The Girl Who Had To Rebuild Herself

Hey,

I know you probably don't recognize me, and that's a good thing. But I have a few things that I need to say.

I was broken, to the lowest of the low. I lost my job, I had no motivation to get out of bed to even shower or go to my classes. I completely let myself go. And at that time, I really didn't care.

I know you may never understand what I had gone through to get to such an awful place as well as I know that you may never understand why I had to rebuild myself all on my own. It wasn't an easy path doing it on my own, but it was well worth the journey.

I gained so much self-confidence from doing that. I gained the knowledge of how to be independent and only to depend on myself. I was able to grow and become the person that i needed to be.

If you knew me a year ago, six months ago, or heck even a month ago, I am not the same person as I was then. I am continuously growing and changing. I will never apologize for changing or growing.

I've come a long way since I was that 18 year old that could barely leave her bedroom or even shower. Now, nearly a year later, I am a 19 year old that actually has every thing together. I may not be perfect, but I am me. I finally got to a place that I can be proud of. And at this moment, me being proud of myself is all that I need.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
