The Quarter Life Crisis

What is a quarter life crisis? I thought that I made up this crazy phase I was going through until I looked it up and found out it is real!  The quarter life crisis is the frustration that people in their 20s and 30s go through because of how the world has changed.  30 is the new 20, 40 is the new 30 and so on.  The economy sucks and even when you do get a job it's tough to afford to move out of your parents' house.  Your friends lose touch, your family  judges you and acts as though you should be married with a great jobs, a house, 2 kids and a dog.  They can't understand why you are single, living at home and haven't started your career yet.

How to get through a quarter life crisis? I don't know!  Sorry...  The only thing that I can do is keep trying; keep applying to jobs for what it is I went to school for, keep making plans to go out, and just keep believing that everything will be ok.  There are many days that I get upset and depressed about this but we can't spend our lives being sad.  We need to count our blessings and always be aware of them.  Things can always be worse.  Keep your heads up and stay confident! 

IMPORTANT ADVICE: DON'T BE JELLY!
Yes! I'm serious!  Being jealous or envying other people will get you no where.  Love yourself and love what you have.  Being jealous won't make your life any better so start doing things that will!

The Frenemy..

Every now and then, we come across that person who acts like our friend but has the true intentions of an enemy.  Sometimes we are lucky enough to shake them off but sometimes they are not so easy to get rid of.  The frenemy is that person who wants to hang out and act like your friend but talks about you behind your back the minute you turn around.  She is jealous, childish and a true hater.  Sadly there are plenty of frenemies out there.  People who act like friends but truly can't stand eachother.  Unfortunately, I have dealt with many frenemies.  One thing that I have learned is the frenemy never changes so don't believe she ever will.  With friends like these, who needs enemies?



Here are some steps for dealing with a frenemy:

Step 1: Recognize the Warning Signs
There are several red flags that will come up when you have a frenemy.  One red flag is that she talks badly about her other friends.  She likes to gossip.  She tells about the personal information of other people.  She has stabbed you in the back, apologizes, repeats the process.  She makes you feel bad about your self or puts you down (even if its in a discrete catty way).  If your "friend" fits this deccription in any way, she could be a FRENEMY!



Step 2: Keep the Frenemy Status in Mind
Now that you know this person is a frenemy, proceed with caution.  Do not get too close.  If you hang out, keep conversation about things that she could not use against you in the future because she will if she has the chance.


Step 3: Know the Frenemy's interest is only in herself/himself.
Frenemies usually only do things that will benifit themself.  They will use you or anyone else around them to get what they want.  If the frenemy is acting like they are doing something for you, there is probably something in it for the frenemy.


Step 4: Keep the Frenemy at a Safe Distance
Do not get into situations that the frenemy can do something to hurt you.  It is probably a good idea to keep the frenemy away from your other friends and family because the frenemy will try to talk about you to them or tell them things you might have said about them (even if you didn't mean to say it in a bad way).  Frenemies twist words around to cause drama and entertain themselves.  Frenemies may even try to steal your friends and family while turning them against you.

Step 5: Be Honest With the Frenemy
If a frenemy is saying things that are offensive or that you know might get you in a bad situation, speak up.  Tell the frenemy when he or she gets out of line.  The more you speak up, the less the frenemy can take advantage of you or get his or her way.


Step 6: Don't Make Any New Frenemies!
You may have realized you have a frenemy that you are stuck with or just can't shake.  Although you might feel obligated to being this person's friend or just can't get rid of them, don't associate yourself with others like this.  Know the warning signs and steer clear of these evil individuals!  Frenemies ruin lives and relationships.  Try to get rid of them from your life.  If you can't do that completely than don't make new frenemies!

I hope this is helpful.  I'd love to get feedback on your thoughts/exeriences!  I wish I knew how to deal with my frenemies sooner but we can only move on and be smarter in the future.  Good luck!

"Ayo, Breezy..."

"...Let me show you how to keep the dice rolling"

Chris Breezy supposedly went on a rage this morning after his GMA appearance.  I have to admit his new music is pretty great though.. Thoughts? On another note, who thinks that this guy is the inspiration for his new look?

Hot Girls

I found this website that tells why guys don't want hot girls.  Different guys give different reasons on why they didn't want the hot girl.  Very interesting!! It shows how stupid and pathetic guys can be.  Check it out and tell me what you think about this!  Are hot girls too intimidating???

Quote for today:

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
