GROUP BLOG!

Today I'm recruiting my roommate and her boyfriend to help me compile a list for this lovely piece of my heart... Cause it's Monday. and it's blog day. And I'm so happy today!

SO, on that note, We present to you:

Things we wish weren't real

1. Summer Classes
Like seriously, why can't we just enjoy summer without worrying about Marrketing Principles? Ew. That doesn't sound Summery.

2. Poison Ivy
"Because I have it along my body and it itches."- Galyon

3. Back hair
"Because it's weird." -Colleen

4. Mosquitos
They bite, they're weird, they spread diseases. And they look super creepy up close. 

5. Calories
We like food. All kinds of food. Mostly sugary food. And there's a lot of calories in it. 

6. Coke Zero
Why couldn't we just make Diet Coke taste more like regular Coke in the first place? That would have made sense...

7. Private Twitter Accounts
Like, either tweet appropriate things, stop caring, or get off of Twitter... I LIKE TO RETWEET.


I could go on and on... but it's 11:30 and the club is jumpin, jumpin. Just a little Destiny's Child reference... ;) Happy Monday!

Furry friends!

I want a puppy REALLY bad. Like, look at this guy.

He's like "Take me home, we'll be cute together!"

But that's ridiculous because I can't play with, walk, or train a puppy. I don't have time or patience.
I just want people to let me play with their puppies!
But I want you all to stop naming your dogs really trendy names. Like... I don't want to be specific here and offend anyone... But you could stop naming your dogs names that start with a B and are actually a make of car and might have been the name of a child on Teen Mom. Just a thought.
Also you all could stop paying ridiculous amounts of money for weird mutt mixes that aren't really cute. Rescue a dog. It's really nice and they want you back. Like, if you rescue it I don't even care if you name it something stupid. But if you get a rescue you're probably smarter than that.

Anyways, my favorite animal right now is a goat. I point them out everywhere. I watch videos of them. I look at memes of them. I laugh out loud when I see them.My cousin Michael had a goat once, and I forgot until my Aunt Lisa told me about it in Jamaica. Because there are goats EVERYWHERE in Jamaica. I don't remember it very well but it was funny for a while. But this video of goats gets me every time...

So, I like to consider myself someone you might come to for a smile. and If you really want to smile, you should look up goat stuff. And if you don't come across this yourself or somehow haven't discovered this gem or are really excited about this post and waiting for this link... here's a video of a goat featured in a T-Swift song. Enjoy. ;)

An Ingenius Plan

In honor of finals week here at the glorious campus of Iowa State, I'd like to help you all out. Gather 'round!

How to get through a stressful time, Alexa style.

1. EAT. Obviously you need vitamins and stuff. But we don't want our bodies to go into starvation mode or anything, so let's fatten up just in case. Eat an entire bag of Reese's minis, chips and guac, leftover Applebee's, a strawberry every time you open the fridge, a surprise cupcake(I'm really liking this whole being someone's girlfriend thing... especially when there are cupcakes involved.) Like, have one of everything.

2. CHECK YOUR FACEBOOK AND TWITTER CONSTANTLY. You never know when something new will come up. You know you can't wait to creep on pictures of your cousin's wife's brother's roommate's baby. Ellen DeGeneres might tweet the funniest thing you've seen all week, and you need to be on top of that. Don't blink. 

3. MAKE SURE EVERYONE AROUND YOU BELIEVES YOU'RE BEING PRODUCTIVE. Don't let them see your computer screen, EVER, because then they'll get really mad when you keep complaining about how much work you have to get done. And then when they complain to you, you can be like, "I haven't moved from this spot all day, studying/work/whatever is consuming all of my time."

4. RED BULL. The less time you sleep, the more time you have to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING productive! Don't ever start doing real work until around 11 pm. Ruins all the fun. Right about when you start to think about getting something done, grab a Red Bull. People will think you're exhausted from work, but really everyone should try all the new flavors. I prefer cranberry.

5. CRY. Definitely do that, and complain a lot about how this is so unfair, why do people even do this? School is so stupid, I wish I could be a professional cupcake eater, wahhhh....

6. CRAM AS MUCH PRODUCTIVITY INTO THE LAST MINUTE AS POSSIBLE. Oh, it's 10 pm and you have an 8 am final/deadline/event? Time to start that work now. Better hop to it! But make sure your facebook/twitter/e-mail/pinterest/tumblr/phone/snapchat are open constantly so you can have a terrible excuse to take a break!

Take it easy, and pray for an epic curve. XO, Alexa
