Worst. Subject. Invented.

"Mathematics was invented for mathematicians." - Copernicus

Yes. That is EXACTLY who it was written for. Guess what? I'm NOT one. And I'm pretty sure most of us aren't (no offense). So why are we forced to do it?? It's like reading a letter not meant for us. Unbelievably rude.

Whoever made it a requirement for school has gotta get out of their house sometime. See how the world really works. I have honestly never seen a day where I've actually had to use algebra. I mean, I can understand basic math, like 1+1=4 (haha, joke.. sorta), but why make us learn the more complicated stuff that, let's be honest, we hardly ever use and even if we do, it's too long and complicated for most of us to understand TO use. 

Math should be outlawed as an offensive subject created for the sole purpose of teachers to torture their students.

Kbye.

The Only Way You'll Get Me

I've been thinking lately about what I'm looking for in a guy. Even though everyone around me has been dating numbers of people, I've never seemed to be that interested in it. I tried to convince myself that I was, and I actually think I may have been at one point, but if it really came down to a guy asking me out, I'm pretty sure I would have said no. Because it sickens me to think about going into a nonchalant relationship like that. I'm not saying the first guy I date HAS to be the one, and we have to be intending to marry in a couple months. THAT sickens me. But I'd like to know that the relationship is going somewhere meaningful.
Probably the basis of a relationship like that is when two people respect the other as a human being. The usual relationships you see in public schools are just based off of selfish interest, such as what they can get out of the person. I want someone who doesn't look at me and all they see is a woman's body--they need to see me. By 'me,' I mean my personality and what's inside of me, and value that more than they value my looks.
More importantly, he has to love God. I always see the sayings like "I want to be your one and only," and "your number one," etc. But that is exactly why I don't want to hear. God has to be your number one, and if I take that spot, then any relationship we had will be ruined. I'm not saying this because I'm trying to preach at anybody, or I think I fit those requirements (because I don't). Believe me, if there's someone who hates "Christians" like that, it's me. But that is one thing I've learned from 2011. God always has to come first. After he comes first, and all you do is to please him and what he wants, then everything comes so easily, and even naturally.
On a more interesting note, here's an awesome list of ways to "win a girls heart" I got from this guy on YouTube. He's pretty much the most hilarious thing out there...
His list:
10. find out what she likes
9. encourage her
8. compliment her
7. get to know her family/friends
6. support your local chivalry
5. don't post cell phone mirror pics all over facebook
4. don't lay it on too thick
3. keep your hands to yourself (THE awesomest point me made. :))
2. make her feel safe
1. be her best friend

Things I'm Thankful For

I know this is super late, but I figured it´s better late than never, am I right? ;)

Well I was thinking, and I thought it'd be nice to make a list of the things I'm thankful for! Because I want to be cheesy right now. Deal with it.

1. Mom
I know we get into way too many fights, and too many times I treat you like I couldn't care less that you're my mom. But in reality, I couldn't ask for a better one. You're perfect in every way for me. Everything you do is to make sure me and Luke have a better life, and you do it all without a man by your side. Honestly, I don't think I'd survive in a situation like that. But you did, and still are, and you're the best role model I could hope for

2. Luke
Again, we have so many differences and get into pretty nasty fights sometimes... but I still wouldn't trade you for anyone else. You're the sweetest, caring brother when you want to be, and in your own way, but I know that deep down you care about me. So yes, I'm thankful for you.

3. My friends
I love everyone of my friends. They're always so supportive of whatever crazy idea pops into my head, or whatever I start raving about even if I realize later it was the stupidest thing ever. I'm so thankful for how you all stick by me even when I embarrass you in public. ;)

4. Life
I know I complain a lot, and sometimes I wish I'd never been born. But in the end, I honestly am so thankful for my life that God has given me. He's made me see so many awesome things I couldn't see before. And I understand that all these things he's putting me through are for the best--even if I can't see it at the moment. But in the end I know that it's all part of making me into the person I'm supposed to be. And to be honest, I get a little freaked out thinking about what in the world you've got planned for me... but that's ok. I'm ready to take on what's coming, because I know you won't test me beyond what I can handle.

5. Everyone in my life
I only just came to realize this now, but I'm actually thankful for all those wonderful, funny, hateful, annoying, pain the butt people God's put in my life.  Again, it's all part of what he's got planned for me. If all you disgusting and wonderful people never existed, I can never become who I'm supposed to be. Even though I have a hard time putting up with some people, or an amazing time hanging out with others, I'm actually really grateful that you're all in my life.

What's the point?

Ever stop and wonder what the purpose of your life is? Not just life, but YOUR life.

I have.

I don't see one.

Every single person I've ever met seems to fit in this world. They know what they want, know how to get it, and know how to relate to the people around them. I just don't get it. I never have. I've tried as hard as I can, but I can't make any sense of how people think.

I wonder if I was meant to die young.

I can't see my future.

I've never met anyone I could ever see in my future.

It's a blank.

Complete. Blank.

And I ask myself, why am I here? I've never helped anyone, or made an impact in anyone's life.

What's the point of my life?

Am I just some play thing made for entertainment purposes?

If so, what's so entertaining?

Who Will You Let Run Your Life?

Have you ever noticed how popular, pretty girls can make your life miserable? It's as if they have the power under their fingers to turn the whole world against you if they have any small reason to dislike you. Most of the time you don't even know what you did wrong... if you did anything wrong at all.

Who gives them the right to even be able to do that? In my opinion, it's the ones that so badly want to be liked by them.

They're the gullible ones who believe anything a popular girl has to say about someone, even if they have every reason to believe it isn't true.

They're the ones who say they hate how stuck up those girls are, but if it seems that they're starting to get accepted into the "In" crowd, they jump at it.

And they're the ones who allow themselves to be run by some girls who think they have it all.

Why do they let themselves be manipulated, then?

Either because they're too stupid to notice, or because they're so obsessed with being liked, even for a day, that they'll do it anyway.

You might now be thinking, "Ha ha, wow, they're so stupid." when in reality, we don't realize how easily that could happen to you. It may not happen in such a simple way as that, but there's other ways you kiss up to people.

Next time you realize you want to be liked by someone, and you're doing silly stuff because you're so desperate for they're acceptance, stop and think. Do you really want to be like those people who suck up to someone just because they're pretty, or have a lot of friends? Is that how shallow you want to be?

If that person doesn't like you, then it's their loss. I can honestly say, without knowing who is reading this, that you've got so much more worth than whoever that person might be. You're better than them because you're able to find you're own way without the satisfaction of knowing people are willing to kill themselves for you to like them. Because you know who you are.

Again, who says the popular person has got the worth they're treated as having? Who set them above all other people as the perfect role model in life?

Think before you start letting someone run your life.

Figure out if they're worth it before you do.
