Regular Registration Begins for May and Summer Credit Classes - 4/27/2015 - Dallas County Community College District



I'm rebooting my college career. I'm going to take 9 online classes that will transfer over as my required electives for general studies major with concentrations in business and sociology. I have 61 credit hours currently. I'm so excited to start again.

Status Update

So my summer wasn't all that great. I never managed to find a job to pay for my tuition in time. So what am I doing now? I moved back in with Mommy. I know, I feel shameful that I couldn't make it on my own. But I swear the next time I move out I will not be moving back unless a great tragedy befalls me like death or disease. But setting aside the mellow drama, I did manage to find a job near my mom's place. I'm basically a pet janitor. I clean up after dogs, I provide them with sustenance, and play with them for about four hours a day. It has its pros and cons. I love it though because it helps me think about my life and appreciate it more. I'm earning double the money than I was before. I'll be out of debt soon but the Texas State Fair is coming up and that event may hinder me a bit in my budget. You can tell from my other blog that I am what they call a Foodie. Basically a person who enjoys food a lot and is a borderline addict. I enjoy trying new fried foods that come out every year. It's like a tasty adventure but my mother just thinks I'm fat. It's not like I want to gorge on food all day, I just want a taste of everything. Tasting flavors can bring inspiration or fond memories to light. I wanted to be a chef when I was little but I didn't have the confidence especially with my mom's countless off color remarks resounding in my head. If you've ever watched Awkward. on MTV then you get what I mean when I say my mom is a bonafide care confrontation letter kind of mom only verbally and so into your face you can smell her words before she finishes saying them. Another reason I was reluctant and unhappy about moving back in with her. Maybe I should have sent all my things to her and just lived in a shelter on the street? I kid but seriously she can really lay into you if you're not strong enough mentally. Enough rambling so here are my goals:

1) Pay off all my credit card debts
2) Pay off library fees and other debts
3) Save up money to cover tuition fees
4) Save up to go half on a used car
5) Get my driver's license
6) Help my mother pay my brother back for installing our new air conditioner
7) Sign up for 2013 classes
8) Save up money to move the eff out!

Hopefully I'll graduate by 2014. I really need to work hard because now that I've hit rock bottom there's no where else to go but up. I have to climb out of this rut and live my life responsibly. I can't rely on people to bail me out anymore. I can't act like a spoiled child. I need to succeed and thrive. I'm also trying to publish some ebooks so that I can have some start up capital for my marketing ventures that I want to start. There so much I want to do I just really need to focus on managing my time more effectively so I won't fail in the business world. Donald Trump one day I will come after you and take your spot at the top! That is my goal peeps.

Look forward to more posts and excerpts from new books coming out soon. Once I've blogged at least 365 pages I might consider converting my blog into a book as well. Maybe some bored teenager or house wife will find interest in my life's discoveries?

When Life Gets You Down, Reinvent Yourself

Year 3 coming upon year 4 and I'm still behind on my credits. I don't understand why I can't pass my classes atTWU. Am I cursed with senioritis or am I just an unlucky fool to keep getting difficult professors? I'm still trying to connect to this campus but I still haven't fallen in love with the curriculum. Maybe I chose the wrong school because no matter how difficult a class may be, I should still love what I'm learning? After all that's why I'm here, right? What if my passion and enthusiasm never comes back? I'm terrified, I'm broke, and lost my financial aid. Summer school is my last hope but I need money to off my health services fees. I need a job but my opportunities are limited because I don't have a car our a license. FML, my last resort is to sell my things. For now I must struggle against the odds and search hard for a job or start my own business. Wish me luck please, I'll needed every one.

I'm Still Alive

Yes, unfortunately I am surviving. Why do I sound so glum? Because being an adult sucks. Paying bills suck. Buying necessities suck. Having useless insurance sucks. And to top it off family drama makes life suck in the worst way possible. I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. I naively think that if I don't stay in contact with them, then the pain will slip past me like goat blood above a door during a plague. I'm burying myself in work and mindless distractions. I'm doing better than last semester because I'm actually studying because I'm scared of losing my financial aid and I would really like to get out of here soon and start my life somewhere new. I want to be successful and travel. I want to start a dozen businesses and live of the excess profits. I want to live a luxurious life style and maybe get married. I wish I had more confidence in myself and my future. My current goal is to bring up my GPA so I can study abroad and pay off all my bills this year. Hopefully in a few months I can start saving for paying off my student loans when I graduate. I really need to get a driver's license soon before my age gets too embarrassing. Right now I'm suffering from stomach flu symptoms, insomnia, and muscle fatigue. I'm trying to get back in shape so I can gain more confidence where prettier clothes. I wish it easier to avoid all the tasty bad foods but they're so cheap and appetizing in the advertisements. Maybe I should go on an oatmeal/ramen diet so I can shrink my waistline and save money? Or maybe I should try the low carb diet? It's working for my family. I just really hate the nasty bowel side effects for the first couple weeks. Grossness. I will no longer make promises in my blog so that none shall ever break plus its too much pressure to dictate my update schedule. I'm a college student with lots of priorities and the majority of them consists of eating, sleeping, and watching stuff on the internet. I am an internet junkie and my fave places to visit are Facebook, Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Youtube. I'm wondering if I should start a food blog but wouldn't that be overdoing it? I've started so many blogs already that I can't seem to keep track of. I have a tumblr account strictly for my photography hobby addiction. I had a xanga but forgot the password to it. I know there's others out there they just slip my mind. But I'm trying to keep this blog alive because its soothing. I kinda would like to have fans but at the same time I guess its good that no one really knows my blog is alive because it feels like a private journal. The kind you buy at a cheap store with no form of security on it what so ever. So open but no one cares to look at because you're so open already to people in person. I'm not showy, just friendly. Well, I'm bored now. Good night Blogspot or whatever your name is now.

Hello Again!

   Yes I know, I'm a very bad college student for not updating more. Please forgive my laziness for I am a college student and therefore have earned the right to be lazy. So guess what? I am now a sophomore and currently I'm finishing up my last class for the summer and looking forward to my new 2010 fall schedule! I feel like the luckiest student amongst all my friends on campus because since I was brave enough to stay for the summer to take classes, I was able to snag a couple on campus jobs!
   Yay for the graduating seniors of 2010! Woot woot! Loving life so much right now and my tuition is fully covered for the year and I some extra left over for text books and cleaning supplies for my new dorm room or I could buy a load of new clothes. Ah decisions, decisions. And that's why the credit card was invented!
    Of course I fell for the devils trap and now I owe a lot of money this month but my next paycheck will surely cover it, if not I can rely on my financial refund to fall back on. I refuse to ask my family for help for financial issues because I want to prove to them that I am an independent woman. I will get past this minor hurdle and move forward to success.
    Since I will be writing articles pretty soon, I think it would do me some good to blog more to sharpen my writing skills. I think I may have slight dyslexia. Practice makes perfect and hopefully I won't have anything to worry about since I type so fast. I've recently switched from Metro to Sprint. Those of you can sympathize who know or currently bear the frustration of dropped calls and poor customer service with Metro. I love my new blackberry curve. I see now why they call it the Crackberry. It's perfect for work and school and it was free from Sprint. :)
   I promise to update more soon. Tips for college students and checklist will be posted next time. Thank you for reading.

Death by Bleach and Pinesol

   This weekend was so stressful for me. I started moving into my new apartment yesterday and I finally finished late today in the afternoon. My muscles ache all over my body. My apartment has three floors and no elevator. Who ever designed these apartment buildings were either fucking stupid or cheap as hell not to include fucking elevators. I'm definitely going to lose a lot of weight this summer. Me and my boyfriend made up yesterday. I'm not sure what happened exactly. It's like he melts my anger away so I can never be angry at him for very long when we're together but its so easy to be mad at him over the phone. Why is that? And today I'm starting to get frustrated with him again because it feels like he doesn't want to talk to me. I called him twice today and he gave me lame ass excuses for why he couldn't talk to me. Why can't he just be honest with me damn?! I do not trust him anymore. How can there a long lasting relationship with out trust? Sometimes I feel like he's just playing me. Am I the fool in love with a jerk? I don't want to be a stereotype. I thought about going on a break so I could just focus on myself but how long would that be? Separation can either break the relationship or make it stronger but most of the time it ends in disaster when someone starts to fall for someone else. Of course that's already happened but I don't want it to happen again...

End of Semester

So yeah, I didn't keep up with my blog as much as I originally wanted too but life happens, frustrations mount, and homework piles up. Thankfully I finished my final exams on Thursday. Currently I'm waiting to move into my new apartment and for summer I classes to start. I'm taking math for summer I and an online history course for summer II. I'm stressed out over the slow process to move and get financial aid for summer classes. But what's mostly bothering me right now is my relationships. My relationship with my family is strained and the love of my life is slowly shifting me to the backseat in his life right behind his best friend. I feel like I give so much and he returns so little. I don't feel important and neglected. I have doubts of my relationship lasting the summer and in a way it kinda feels like I'm just poking a dead animal with a stick hoping it will still move. I feel like I did everything right as a good girlfriend but it isn't enough. Why does this love have to be so freaking complicated?! Its ridiculous. I love him with all my heart and I know I will always love him but he's too selfish to give me what I need in a good boyfriend. My hearts so much just thinking about him. I want this pain so badly to end.

sleeping with a broken heart,

your Texas Pioneer
