I Suck At Blogging

The best friends are those who encourage you to be a better person but still love you for exactly who you already are. I am a lucky girl.

This is going to be really difficult.

Refreshing

"I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people's lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am a Republican."
-Meghan McCain

Thanks, Meghan, for proving that we're not all close-minded bigots.

Can We Have 26 Hours in the Day Please?

Dear University of Florida,

Can somebody please tell me whether or not I can take calculus at home and receive credit for it? All I'm asking for is a competent adviser who can answer at least one of my questions before I spend $300 on a class! Get back to me soon.

Love,
Jana

Srsly?!

On April 30th I will officially be finished with my first year of college. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I'm pretty sure I just graduated high school like fifteen minutes ago. I'll definitely have to start working on one of those cheesy "What I Learned My First Year of College" entries.

Anyway, I think for fall semester my classes will be:
ECO2013 Principles of Macroeconomics
MAC2233 Survey of Calculus
SPN3301 Spanish Grammar and Comp. 2
CCJ3038 Law and Society
and maybe AML3041 American Literatures 2 or ENC2210 Technical Writing

Hmmm...decisions, decisions.

25 Things

So I'm finally going to do the infamous "25 Things" list about myself. I figure it will be a reasonably interesting and fun way to introduce myself. Enjoy :)

1. I originally wanted to write this blog entirely in Spanish. I thought it would be a great way to improve my grammatical skills. Yeahhh not gonna happen, lo siento.

2. I started college off as a criminology major, but now I'm majoring in economics. I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into with this although it will definitely be interesting! I've learned that economics is a study you can apply to virtually any aspect of life, and that fascinates me.

3. Since my hair has been dark for awhile now, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and go for blonde this summer.

4. I love being able to help people. Sometimes, this comes at the expense of being a human doormat, but I'd rather be seen as that than not help my friends when they need me.

5. My most recent music obsession is Lady GaGa. Have you heard her?! Amazing! She also rarely wears pants, so I have to love her by default.

6. On that note, I would wear a dress or shorts everyday of my life if I could. I hate wearing jeans.

7. I'm addicted to trashy VH1 reality shows. Rock of Love and Tool Academy? Yes please.

8. I think August will bring a lot of changes into my life. I'm moving into a condo with two fabulous roommates and that makes me feel like a grown-up.

9. I truly believe that Special K Fruit & Yogurt is the best cereal out there. Not that I don't love Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but I feel like I am close to being a grown-up so I have to eat healthier cereal. With that being said, you should go find your keys, get in your car, and drive to Publix to buy some. Try not to get addicted. I dare you!

10. I can read each Harry Potter book (or any other type of leisure reading) in a day, but it takes me three hours to read two acts of a Shakespearean play (darn you, Twelfth Night).

11. I love love lovvve pretty pictures. If you ever want to get me a present, print out a nice picture and give it to me in a pretty frame. I just made the holidays a whole lot easier for you. You're welcome.

12. My dad is the smartest man in the whole world. Don't try and argue with me because you are wrong.

13. The iPhone is by far the greatest invention ever. If you're going to buy a new phone, this one is definitely worth every penny.

14. I'm a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters club here at UF and I am so excited to get a little :)

15. At home, I rarely clean my room or make my bed. In college, I ALWAYS clean my room and make my bed at least every other day.

17. I hate when people think that coming from a single parent household is some kind of "disability" or an excuse to not be successful. Coming from a single parent family has never inhibited me in any way. If my mom and I can do it, you can too.

18. I'm an only child so I guess I've never really properly learned how to share. Not that I'm outrageously selfish, it just rarely occurs to me to borrow from other people so it weirds me out when they want to share my stuff.

19. My name is Jana. Ja-na. Rhymes with Hannah and banana. Not Jayna, not Jenna, not Johna. Jana.

20. Even if I travel around, I'm pretty sure I will end up living in Florida when I settle down, which I am perfectly fine with. Florida has so much to offer.

21. At college, the thing I miss the most about home is my dog, Cookie. Next in line are my parents. I also miss not having to walk down ninety-eight trillion flights of stairs to do my laundry.

22. I've gone to the gym almost every day for the past month. This is so uncharacteristic of me but I really really love it. It makes me feel so good!

23. Cuban food is my favorite.

24. I love to splurge on sunglasses. They are an easy way to make every outfit look fierce and put together.

25. I seriously need to go to bed because I have to wake up in six hours. Gross.

I'm Everywhere!

I have a Twitter account now because I really need to procrastinate more (cough cough...)
