Do they get it??

ughhh .. are parents really that much older than us .. they really dont understand what we are going through .. they always see everything from their point of view and never see it from yours .. do they not realize that they were college kids once too .. they cant look back and see how it was when they were in college because im sure it was the same.. you want to go out you want to party .. but there are things you need to do also .. you need to study you need to go to meetings for clubs .. you need to do your schoolwork .. in the life of a college student there is constant pulls and pushes .. there are all the people pushing you to succeed yet there are all the things in life that pull you another way .. you WANT to see your family and you miss them but there are things you NEED to do .. and sometimes the needs out weigh the wants and your left in a shitty situation because in life you cant always please everyonee.. and in the end you need to try to make yourslef happy and if somehting makes you happy you shouldnt feel ashamed or put down for doing it .. so do what you need make time for what you want and have some funn along the way .. life is a lemon so suckk it :) who knos maybe ull get some lemonade outta that suckka. :)

2. Do you still live with the parents?

Well when i was eleven my parents got divorced, and which i think seems to be in most cases, me, my bro, and my sis stayed with my mom. My dad on the other hand originally moved to new city.. which at the time was pretty sweet because it was 15min away convenient, and i would see him ever other weekend if not every.. Then do to financial situations, he moved upstate to newbourgh which is 45min away from my house, now that sucks, the amount that i saw him slowly began to dwindle, slowly but surely. Now he is moving up to albany; that's fucking mad far.. at first i was kinda pissed about it, thinking that i wouldn't really see him at all anymore. Then i realized that the whole moving away from your parents is just naturally what happens, in my case it's just taking place sooner than later...

happy 27th!

Coming home on Friday, I surprised my mom. She did not know I was coming home this weekend. So as soon as I got home I took the car and went to the mall. I know that to my mom, it probably seems that's all I do when I come home. But the other day my sisters and I were talking through text messages and reminded me that it was our parents anniversary this weekend. So we were trying to figure out what to do. My older sister, Deanna came up with the idea to make reservations and give them a gift card to a restaurant. I came up with the place, The Melting Pot. Deanna and I have been there and rave wonderful things about it, and the other day my mom was saying she's never been there. So I decided since it's a special occasion and a fancy place, it was perfect. Both our experiences there we received roses, a card and a picture at the table all set up. So when Deanna made the reservation she ordered that it be there, costing us an extra 20$. After all her work, I was in charge of buying the card. I remembered seeing this card in the Hallmark store in the mall over summer, and I said it was perfect for my parents, but I didn't buy it. So now I have to go to the mall and hope they still have it and find it. Luckily I they did have it and I got it. The card was a funny anniversary card, which fits our relationship. My family is always talking about budget and the card said on the front along the lines of, "Mom and Dad- You deserve a trip to Paradise with the sun shining and the warm sand in your toes..." and in the front says "but we're on a budget and this is all we can afford!" and taped inside the card is a little umbrella you put on drinks! haha happy anniversary! It was a funny card and they loved it. The dinner on us part, was just the icing on the cake. They were so shocked when we told them that they had dinner reservations at 645pm that night! My mom was planning to eat with all of us, but we wanted them to get away for the night just the two of them.
Unfortunately, I had to go back to school and did get to help them get ready for their dinner.
But my sister texted me and told me that my mom was so excited to go out that she was dressed up with lipstick on and everything ready to go at 4:45! haha
well... happy 27th anniverary mom and dad!
