Converse Traditions

I have began to realize that every where I turned, there was a new Converse tradition that I had no clue about. They all seemed pretty cool and I had slowly started planning certain things that I could do. For example, I asked my CA if we could do something like a Halloween Party on our hall. Now, I know that's not a exact "tradition" that you would usually see, but it COULD be pretty close. But then I started to realize that there was so much stuff to do for the other holidays and seasons, but not enough for Halloween. (As a small side note, Halloween is my favorite holidays of all time)

Seeing as we have a dance for 1889 Week and before Winter Break, why couldn't we start up a Halloween dance? It would basically resemble a normal dance. Instead of getting all dressed up like you were going to some sort of wedding reception, you would dress up in your Halloween costumes! There would be typical fall activities to do like pumpkin carving and bobbing for apples... And there would be Halloween themed treats to snack on while you were out having a blast! At the very end of the dance, a few people would be picked out of the bunch with certain titles. Titles like "the scariest costume" or "the prettiest costume." These girls would get prizes for working hard on getting these titles. After the competition, everyone would dance a little more and go home!

As short as that paragraph seemed, I did have a couple more ideas to talk about. But these ideas aren't necessarily solid and don't really pertain to the main idea. They can be included though. Some girls could dress up as guys like a prank and come in to parade around (sort of like I Felta Thigh :D), making a big commotion. It would all be out of fun though. Nothing to terrible to scare people off like Full Moon (yuck). Speaking of which, Converse needs a tradition of getting some smart people together and finding out who does the Full Moon pranks. Sure, it ruins Full Moon, but at least it'll stop the inconvenient pranks for some time. Sorry about that, I wasn't too happy to find out about the morning psych class and the alarm that went off, destroying their time to prepare for the test.

I actually feel like making the Halloween dance a tradition on campus for next year. So if anyone wants to help out with my idea, we can try and see if we can get it done! I think it's a really cool idea and it'd be fun to start. :)

To understand the future, we have to go back in time~

As true as the title is, I'm going to be sticking to talking about the future. I don't want to make this blog too long! I might kill the internet with my long stories... :)

This dream is going to come into parts. Otherwise, everything in the dream would fall out of line and wouldn't look to great to look forward to. First off, the most important thing to place on the table would be my dream job. I plan on working hard in all of my classes in the next four years of college. With the effort put into the work in school, I'll be able to get an internship in a hospital or any other clinical environment that will hire me. The internship will lead to Board-Certification and then my own job. The occupation ALWAYS comes first, and here are the reasons why. Jobs can give you the financial aid to support yourself later in life, like when it comes to owning a house, paying bills, etc.

After the job is at a solid state, that's when buying a home comes into play. This is the second part of the dream. The money that I earn will be put into buying a house for my future husband and I to live in for a good amount of our lives. I want to be able to have my house, with my own responsibility for something that is mine. I never grew up with the ability to be responsible, since my mother was very controlling over what was done in the house. I will say that it was great that she did what she did! If she hadn't, then I would have never wanted the responsibility as much as I want it now. And so I thank her!

Now that the job and the house are finalizing the structure of this perfect dream, the last thing to do is throw the icing on the cake! And here comes the family! Yes, when I have the perfect dream job and the perfect house, I want to be able to have the perfect family. And of course it's going to be perfect. I don't know how many kids I'll have. All I know is that I will love my family, my home, my job, and myself for making sure that everything was planned out beforehand.

I plan on spending this dream life with my significant other, De'Vin White. He will be my husband, and I definitely don't doubt this. As of today, when I post this tonight, this will be our eleventh month anniversary. The joy of his love has encouraged me to work hard at what I want, just so that I would be able to be with him for the rest of my life. Cheesy, right? Hopefully the marriage will take place after school. I don't plan on getting married during my college years. It's to avoid being distracted and way more stressed than I need to be.

Geographically speaking, I'm not sure where I might be. It doesn't really matter where I might live. All I know is that it is going to be with him. Well... Maybe as long as it is not here in South Carolina... It has been too long and I just need to get away. Possibly somewhere cold and up north, to be close to my family members and to let him love the cold like he does. :)

Troubles I could cross with all of this? Hmm... I think that grades would be one thing. But then again, I don't plan on failing anytime soon. With that circling through my brain now, maybe it would be a good idea to study ten times as hard as I do now. Just to make sure. Also, finding a house is a big issue as well... It takes time and patience. I have plenty of time, but I'm dwindling with patience most of the time. I have to not get stressed over not getting my dream home. I just need to be able to find a stable place for living and not worry about it being absolutely perfect.

Other than the things I've stated before, this is what makes up my dream life and how it's going to be carried out. I'm not giving up on it. This is what I've always dreamed of, and I'm going to keep on trucking until I reach the very end of my list! <3
