Blog Fail

Well here I am trying to start a blog...again. I deleted the first one, but if you'd like to look at the second one you can find it here. Anyway, I am going to try my hardest to keep this one going. I just turned 22 less than a month ago and so much is happening. Luckily you get to hear me rant about everything, so without further ado here are my top rants for tonight...

Jobs:
Right now I am trying to find a job... in this crappy economy? Yeah right. Especially when the majority of my experience comes from baby-sitting/child related jobs. It wouldn't be so bad if I could actually find parents who could actually commit and weren't as flaky as a Kellogg's breakfast cereal. (Yes, I went there...and I know you chuckled. Don't judge ;)

Financial Aid:
I am trying to find a job so that I can save up money to pay for at least one community college class. If I can do that then I'll be able to get back in good standing with the financial aid people. However, they should be the ones trying to get back in good standing with me! They royally screwed up and now I'm paying for it. Has anyone else noticed that whenever you speak with people in the financial aid office, they treat you like you're the dumbest person in the world or they seem to be ticked off at the world? When, in fact, we should be ticked off because we had to sit in the phone for and hour before we could even talk to someone!

College:
I love college. Sometimes. The friends and randomness that happens makes college a blast. However, having to decide what you should be doing with your life at the young age of 18 can be pretty not fun. I am one of those people who has changed majors several times (and in the process of doing it again!) I started out in Music Ed., then Deaf Ed., then Advocacy and Services for the Deaf...all at UNC Greensboro. Now, I am trying to transfer to Campbell University so that I can major in Christian ministries. I feel that I have finally found a major that God wants me in. It gives me the degree I need, but also gives me some flexibility and freedom to change and decide exactly what part of ministry I want to go into. It'll take me another 2-2 1/2 years to finish (a total of 6 years in college), but I know it will all be worth it.

I think I'm done ranting for the night. I definitely need to get to bed so that I can get up in the morning and start my new exercise plan! Hmmm sounds like a rant for another day...

PS - feel free to add to or comment on my rants/bad jokes. Maybe it'll give me something new to rant about!

  1. Welcome to the blogosphere, Samantha! You never know when your random "rants" will be just the thing someone else needs to hear to get over a rough spot or decide which way to go next.

    Hope to see ya next weekend!

  2. I hope getting your "rants" off of your chest will help you deal with the burdens on your soul. Remember that God is always with you through it all and that I love you. ~Drew
