    Spring Break is upon us! Finally! It feels like Spring Break has taken so long to come. This is what I’ve been looking forward to since Christmas Break! Anyways, I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted my first post to be for my new series. I got it. Spring break when many people go on vacation, hang out at the beach and meet new people. It’s inevitable to not see someone on spring break. Not necessarily begin “talking” to them, but you will at least SEE a really cute person. (That is unless you live under a rock, or you’re sick)
    First, I wanna talk to my girls! So you’ve totally fallen for that cute boy that dipped your ice cream, or he was your waiter at a restaurant, or he saved you from drowning. (So cliché). What to do?
    1. B-YOU-TIFUL
        So, you’ve meet this handsome stranger and he sparks up a conversation. Starts talking about March Madness that just ended and he wants to know your thoughts. HMM.. But you HATE baseball,(I mean BASKETBALL), see your not sporty!  DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, LIE! It will get you on a train to nowhere, FAST. He’s gonna find out. So be honest! Tell him that you’re not a sports type of girl. If he only likes sporty girls, then his loss. But you never know, he might really like the fact that you were honest with him. Most guys appreciate that.
    2.  B-COMFORTABLE 
        Let’s presume that after step one, he asks you to get some Fro-Yo after dinner. (YES YES YES. MINI DANCE PARTY IN MY HEAD). After a rather casual yes, we rush home and try getting ready. Call  the besties. Stacy says to get all-dolled-up. All of the glitz and the glamour. Veronica says go in sweats and a hoodie. If he can’t take you at your worst why at your best? The predicament. You wanna look nice but not like you’re a hobo, or like you just came off of Toddlers and Tiaras. What do I say? Go with what you are comfortable with. If you’re an all natural girl then fine. And if you like going the full 9 yards that’s okay as well. Just do whatever you feel the best in.
   
Now, talking to the guys.(Sports, Food, Babes). Whether it’s the cute girl that skated past you, or the “Surfer Babe”, or the girl that sits in front of you in math that you’ve had the BIGGEST crush on all year. How do you get her attention?
    1. Confidence
        Girls love it when a guy can have the confidence to walk over to them and spark a conversation. If you wanna do a cool trick to impress her, be confident. Even if you screw up by epic proportions she will definitely notice your confidence and that will stand out more than anything.
    2.  Courtesy
        No girl wants to be talked to, or looked at like a piece of meat. NONE! So even if your buddies dare you, please don’t. Some of us can pretend like it doesn’t matter, others can’t. But the reality is that it does hurt, whether or not we show it doesn’t matter. Talk to girls with respect. Think of it this way. If you had a daughter, would you want some guy talking to her that way. I would hope your answer is no. We are girls, human-beings, not the next prize to some stupid truth or dare.

So no matter what happens this spring break, make sure that you have fun, bring sunscreen, and enjoy antidote #1. If taken daily your “Spring Fever” will be cured before you know it.

Spring Fever

                                          

Hey Guys! Spring is finally here. (APPLAUSE) I could not be any more excited. I’m so happy! So in honor of Spring, I wanted to start a little series on here. All about Spring, flowers, rainbows, leprechauns, nice-smelly good things, and the countdown to summer. We will be going on an adventure. I wanted to start writing things that would help inspire people. Blog posts that would spark something in you guys. Something that would help you guys want to be different. But a GOOD different. Since we have all been diagnosed with “Spring Fever”, I’m hoping these posts will be the cure!

Valentine's Day

     

Valentine’s Day is vastly approaching, and different people have different ideas on what Valentine’s day should be. Some people take valentines day as the day to make everyone else jealous like “Oh, look what I got!”, and some people take Valentine’s day as God’s judgment on their lives. When in reality, it’s just another day of the year. Nothing special. I mean yes I am single, but that isn’t why I don’t really care about Valentine’s Day. Would I like to have a special someone this valentines day? Maybe depends on who it is. But is that going to ruin the rest of 2014 if I don’t have a Valentine? NO. its just another day that people have felt the need to put emphasis on for some strange reason. Also, I feel that if you love someone as much as you say you do, you shouldn’t have to wait for a certain to prove it to them. Why do you have to wait for February 14th? Buy them all of these mushy-gushy stuff on May 23rd. It doesn’t matter. Even if I did have someone that I would be spending Valentines day with, I could never be one of those girls that demand certain things. Like even if its just a card, the fact that you care enough to even buy one for me is enough. It’s not that serious. 

I think that it’s important for girls to remember that even if you don’t have a Valentine this year, or next year, or for the next three years, your someone is coming. The person that you are supposed to be with will come at the exact moment that they are supposed to. Everything has a time, and I believe that if things happen before they are supposed to then we aren’t mentally or emotionally prepared for them. So enjoy being single on valentines day. Turn it into GALentine’s Day. Go out to dinner. Watch a new movie. Watch chick-flicks, but don’t sit there in your room eating a pint of Ben and Jerry’s crying because you think that no one loves you and no one will ever love you because we both know that’s a LIE! 

Take it as a learning experience. Learn what you want in a future Valentine, and become prepared so that when the right guy or girl comes you know exactly what you want and need. 

Dare to be different. Get all of your single friends and make this Valentine’s Day one to remember. As for me? I’m going out with one of my great friends, and we’re going to dinner and a movie!

I want to know how you guys are spending your Valentine’s Day. Tweet me or Instagram me with the #TLVDAY. Meaning TeenageLivinValentine’sDay. Love you guys and HAVE FUN!
