Hola Pedro!

Embrace it.

The Top Knot Bun

There's this thing called the Top Knot Bun. You can google it (Cause it's the age of the Googles). So OF COURSE if it's a bun I had to try it! I love buns! Buns buns buns. Well obviously if you have thick long hair it will look perfect if you want to add a bird house on the top of your head cause it looks like a cray cray nest, not bun. So if your hair is right for the top knot bun, lucky you. But if not, get a stuffed bird and stick in your hair and it'll look perfect. 

Don't worry, I know I'm cute.
You don't need to tell me.

Little Boxes

Hello fellow bloggers!

Yes, I know I suck at blogging. 

But embrace it.

Here is a little video that I love and
I LOVE this band so check them out.

Mind Readers With Restrictions

If only we could all read minds. It would make life even more interesting. But some feel that it would be a violation to read peoples minds. Well to you disbelievers, here's a proposal. It's called mind readers with restrictions.

You can read one person's mind every hour. But you will only be able to read their mind in that hour, no one else's. This creates a fair restriction.

Think about it. You're at a restaurant. There's a group of friends. One of them looks awkward or seems to be judging you. You read their mind. Either it'll lower your self-esteem or you can shrug it off and have a laugh. But if you really want to have a laugh, when they start thinking about you, you should look at them and stare them down. Then they'll think, "Wow, can she read my mind or something?" And then you just give them a creepy smile and mouth "Yes" and then walk away. 

If only, if only.

That is all. 

Courtney. NO ONE LIKES YOU!

Never Fear

Never fear. I have returned. To be honest I don't think anyone really reads this blog and I have betrayed blogging for Pinterest and journal writing. Nonetheless, "read on!" (If you get that reference to Marcell the Shell #2, I'll love you forever). Rachel requested I start writing on here again so here ya go guurlfraand. 
I could update you on my life but lets be honest, that's BORING. So instead I will share with you some thoughts from my most favorite class EVER. My interpersonal theory class has seriously changed my life and it's not even midterm yet. My teacher is amazing. Everything he says I want to write down because everything he says is pure goodness. So here are some thoughts from him that I think everyone should keep in mind.
-Meanings are not in words, meanings are in people. 
-Body language is harder to fake than your words. 
-"I'm not a huge fan of 'I love you', I'm a huge fan of 'I love you because...'"
-What happens to you doesn't determine how you feel. How you think does. 
-Charity is not an emotional state, it's a spiritual state.
-NEVER EVER make an important life decision based on emotion. (Seriously...so freaking true)
-Love is what gets us together, not what keeps us together. (For example in marriage you need more than just love)

READ ME. And Participate.

Hello all!

I'm hosting a contest for TOMS so you should all participate and tell yo' frennz.

Here are the rules: Email me (maryrose93@gmail.com) a picture of you wearing your favorite pair of socks (Preferably a picture of just your feet wearing the socks so I can be able to see these precious socks better). THE WINNER who has the best, funniest, most creative pair of socks will get the book "Start Something That Matters" by Blake Mycoskie (the creator of TOMS).  You may be thinking, "I'll win...a book?" Yes, yes you will. But this book is grand. If you are a supporter of TOMS and the cause they are involved in, then you may find the story of TOMS, the experiences from Blake, and his happiness found through Charity enough to consider a good read.

So that's it. Send me a picture and you may win an awesome book! Simple as that. Spread the word!

P.S. CONTEST COMING SOON!

Hello. We're Gettin' Official.

Hello fellow bloggers! It has been while so I figure I should update you. 
I changed my major! Communication it is. And I'm planning on clustering in International Studies and Photography. Yes, plans change but that plan sounds pretty good to me. If you don't know already, I'm in love with Humanitarian Aid and so I want to have a major that was to do with Non-profit Organizations and Humanitarian Aid. I really feel like that will be a useful major in this world with all the natural disasters and people everywhere who are in need. 
So I guess that's big news. 
Now here are some pictures of life recently. 
P.S. KEEP READING MY BLOG. DO IT. BECAUSE...I'm going to be hosting a contest soon and the winner gets something that has to do with TOMS.....so KEEP CHECKING BACK. And tell your friends. I keep you posted and I'll do the contest on facebook too. :)

WE MADE THIS FOR YOU.

Embrace it.

Ich mag...

Oh man. I desire these.

Look at that mustache...

Don't worry, they're for women too.

Haunted Mazes

I don't know why it is, but when it comes to haunted things...I am a baby. On Wednesday night Erin, Mikenzie and I went to a haunted maze but did we know it was going to be haunted? NO. So basically no one told me I was supposed to bring depends. And apparently it's a dumb idea to run away from the scary people dressed up because THEY CHASE YOU. Which is ridiculous. So I spent my time running and hiding behind random people I came across. But I learned that if you try to make small talk with the creepy people, or you just don't react, they go away. We carried on some nice conversations with them and they helped us find poor Mikenzie because she got lost. But the ones that have hair...I dont know why but they scare the heebie jeebies out of me. Something about fake hair....

And we won a Jamba gift card, a grocery store giftcard and a bucket of cleaners in the maze. Only college students would be excited about a grocery store giftcard and a bucket of cleaners...

Hello Belly Shirt. You Must Be New Here.

And I FREAKING LOVE it. Well now it's a belly shirt. I guess that was cool...in the 90's. But Modest is Hottest. So now I'll just cry and morn over that lovely shirt...

 Here's a picture.

That's the shirt BEFORE.

Now imagine it half that size. :( :( :(

It's Not A Party Unless Somebodys Barfing

Hello dear blogging friends. It has been too long. I would like to make up for my absence by telling you a freaking awesome story. 
Ok so. Our apartment was in Apartment Wars with this other apartment of guys. So during church we snuck in their apartment and sprayed EVERYTHING with this pumpkin spray which smells good, but oodles of it is BARFY. Then we hung up an awesome unicorn poster and took their towels, shower curtain, all their pillows and their couch cushions. And they live on campus so...well...they didn't really have anything else left in their apartment. Hahahaha suckers (I mean lollipops...). Well when they got home from church they decided to play dumb act like nothing happened. Well. That night (or I should say the next morning) at 2AM we hear this POUNDING on the door and it wakes us up. Have you ever been woken up from your slumber due to pounding? It is SCARY. Tori runs in our room and tells us someone is at the door and we all didn't know what to do. So we turned off the lights and hopped back in bed, hoping whoever it was would leave. Well then Tori gets a call from her boy toy telling her to open the door. And we're like: Heck. Freaking. No. We though it was them (or their scary roommate). Then he tells Tori to look out the window, so we do and what do we see? Popcorn poppin-- just kidding. We see THE FUZZ. THE COPS. THE PO PO (well...two cop cars). So we're freaking out because we thought they called the cops on us for taking their freaking pillows. We answer the door and the cop tells us to get the boys stuff we took and bring it downstairs. So we do. Please remember. It is 2AM and we are groady in our jammies. He brings us to Tori's car where we see Erin and Tori's boy toys TAKING THE TIRES OFF HER CAR. Their plan was to take all the tires off and put her car on wooden blocks. And they were succeeding UNTIL...somebody called the cops on them thinking they were stealing Tori's car. Hahahaha. So they explained to the officers how this was just a prank and we had to clarify that we knew them and all the jazz. If we didn't, the cop decided to scare by saying we could be charged with breaking and entering and they could be charged with grand theft auto. Well let me just inform you that we didn't "break" in. They left their door UNLOCKED!! Well long story short, it was embarrassing cause we were in our pajamas with the fuzz and everyone in our complex was either looking out their window or on their balcony starring at us. Great. Good impression. But the policemen were actually SOO NICE. They said "Thanks for entertaining us for a little bit. This is actually pretty funny. One of the best pranks we've seen and we get this a lot because it's a college town." And then they just talked with us and joked around and it was hunky dory UNTIL we see our apartment manager come down...oh no. We were all freaking out when we saw her MORE then we saw the police. But she was pretty understanding! All she said was "You guys owe me cookies". And she's prego so she has every right to be anal!! 
So. Something that could have ended VERY badly actually turned out ok. And now I have a story to tell my future children. I'd prefer not having anymore encounters with the police anytime soon though...especially because we weren't even more then two weeks into school when this happened. Way to start off. 

Now here are some pics of recent occurrences:
