Political Science and Family Studies student at Towson University.
I'm in love with my sweeties and my mom.
I have a heart for every single dog in the world. For so many reasons... Mostly what this blog is about :)
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Words to live by
Control. Courage. Determination.
Only way I’m going to make it through this summer.
Working
Just signed myself over to a full time job while taking a full semester of classes this summer. About to be permanently exhausted. But gettinnn paper!
test today
First test of the summer today, super stressing me out. Thank god Kyle will be here tonight, Andrew tomorrow and Alex on Thursday. Love people who can keep me smiling and laughing and take my mind off the bad stuff.
After the test I’m going to treat myself to either a nap, or reading outside and just relax.
I keep telling myself I’m going to church soon too and I haven’t yet. Got way too much going on. Volunteering with Emily Thursday will be amazing. Cannot wait <3 the dogs there never cease to amaze me.
New job!
Got hired by Petsmart to be a dog trainer so my 96 hours of certification begins this week! I’m so excited to learn and read more about dogs and training and have a job that I LOVE!
So this week consists of: tests, VOLUNTEERING and TRAINING! and hopefully hanging out with a few people I miss and love. Two more weeks til I see my sweeties. So excited! I need to see them before I die of sweetie withdrawal.
I hope this week is better than last week. But a weekend at home definitely gave me some positive energy that I needed. And a ton of food haha thanks Momma!
Back to hell this afternoon, hopefully its not too bad…

new outlook on life
Every song on Selena Gomez’s “Year Without Rain” album. So good I wish i could snap my fingers and actually live my life like that.
What a bad day
Yeah, i’ve been there before
But, I keep my head up
So, I don’t have those anymore
I made a choice to be the best that I could ever be
Gotta stay positive, Ignore the negativity
Gonna follow my intuition
Tell myself to listen
Everythings gonna be okay
It’s gonna be a good day
Live like there’s no tomorrow
‘Cause all we have is here, right now
Love like it’s all that we know
The only chance that we ever found
Believe in what we feel inside
Believe and it will never die
Don’t never let this life pass us by
Live like there’s no tomorrow
<3 so good
Dusty
Yesterday, I met a boxer named Dusty and a girl named Sam. The boxer had been trained by the Baltimore Humane Society for almost a year and then finally adopted. Three months later, he was returned for being aggressive. Sam told me this as she was crying about Dusty being back. They had a bond before he was adopted because she spends almost every day there. Her dad is the director of the shelter. When he was adopted, he was not aggressive and was very sweet.
Sam and I sat in front of his cage and talked to him and tried to feed him treats but he wouldn’t take them or come to the front of the cage. One of the workers of the shelter explained the situation; Dusty had been aggressive at his new home towards someone who was doing some work at the house. Dusty was provoked and he nipped at the person which caused him to be returned to BHS.
After a year of working on this aggressiveness and building a bond with Sam, Dusty wouldn’t respond to her. Because of this, I seriously believe Dusty knew he had done something wrong but he didn’t know what it was and he didn’t know why he ended up back at the shelter and he didn’t want any connection with Sam and I even though we had treats, because he was confused. Dogs can definitely understand things like this but can’t say anything, they just become aggressive and reclusive.
I hope I can spend more days with Sam at the shelter and get more stories on the dogs. Knowing more about why they are there makes me want to help more and spend more time with dogs like Dusty.
Happiness Project
This is a book on the New York Times Bestsellers’ List and life has been rough lately so I figured it could be a little inspirational.
It’s amazing. I only wish I had read it about 3 months ago and my life wouldn’t be the shit show it is now. It’s a great book and very honest and has a lot I can relate to. I could’ve fixed a lot of things in my life back then instead of doing it now, all alone.
So I definitely suggest reading it. Or checking out the blog, just google happiness project.
I think I may even start my own project… I mean I kind of have started it, its just not concrete and written down. So that may be step one and hopefully this blog can reflect all of that. Super excited :)
Time for bed with my plethora of stuffed animals then interview and home tomorrow for a nice relaxing weekend at the place I love with the person and dog I love most!
SMC bound in 15 hours, let my happiness project begin?
