While it may be hard for the outside world to understand, a LOT goes on in a single week in Suite 107 at Belmont Abbey. In particular a lot has gone on this past week between me and my best friends, who also happen to be my roommates. We have had moments of pure joy and craziness (if you have ever hung out with us for more than five minutes you have probably been a witness to our crazy acts) and we have also had moments of pure dissappointment and upset. We have laughed, screamed, cried, and sarcastically told eachother the perfect and awful happenings of our week in real time. During a certain midnight discussion one night us girls realized that we were not being treated by those humans of the opposite sex in the way that we deserve. Through us ranting and screaming and crying and being depressed we realized that we clearly have the wisdom to treat a women in the way in which they not only desire, but deserve. We also realized that we were being selfish for not sharing this wisdom with the entire world! We figured the only way to do so was to start a blog. While our origional plan was to create a joint blog between the four most smart girls I know (Kayleigh, Jaime Lee, Angela, and myself) with an agenda including spelling out to the male population the proper way to treat us girls, we thought this would be a bit drastic and that maybe we should split off and each make our own blog to not only teach men how to treat women, but to also praise and be thankful for the many many gifts in our lives....no to mention, being a Business/Marketing major a good writing background doesn't hurt! Thus, here is my blog.... Perfect, as far as you can tell....
I pride myself in being a happy-go-lucky 19 year old who attends a beautiful Catholic college in the sunny and warm south and has the opportunity to play the sport she loves everyday with the 17 best teammates a girl could ask for, while being surrounded by the most wholesome best friends and powerful supportive family of anyone I know. As everyone else, my life is not as perfect as it seems on the outside, but I try to my hardest for you not to realize anything different than a perfect life.
While I created and named this blog four days ago I haven't had the opportunity or inspiration to start blogging until I went to church this morning. As my favorite priest was on the alter speaking the words of the gospel, the final sentence stated, "So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect" Matthew 6:48. Well, if this wasn't a sign to start blogging I am not sure what would be! In my opinion living perfect doesn't mean that you never make mistakes, it simply means that you strive to be perfect and to be thankful for each and every gift God has blessed you with. It is unrealistic for us to be imperfect. Being perfect is about enjoying life, loving family, and making the best of every moment you have with your friends.
