La Bella Vita

When I was younger and in grade school, I was a girl scout (this would be one of the few groups I would be involved with.) I absolutely loved being apart of a group, being social and I still do to this day. I guess it what keeps me going through the tough times. I was a girl scout for about 3 years, and I cheered for my high school, and played basketball and softball outside of my high school.  And now in college I still can’t get away from being apart of a group, I joined a sorority called Pi Beta Phi. We are newly established as of January 2010 at the University of Cincinnati.

“Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold”

I learned this little song while in girl scouts and back then I never truly thought about the meaning. I mean I did, but at age 8 what do you really know about that matter. I have two best friends, Sarah (we both have the same name), and have been friends since the seventh grade. And boy have we had our up’s and down’s with pointless drama. We once fought back  in eight grade about who should be president who we couldn’t even vote for, this went on for about an hour after school at the corner between our houses and did not talk for two days after. We were inseparable and known as the Sarah’s, or Sarah2 (Sarah Squared) until about our  junior year of high school. She had a serious boyfriend and I had on-and-off-again boyfriends. We still talked but we slowly drifted apart. And every now and then over the past couple years we start getting lunch more often and hang out a little more. After 8 years of being best friends its like we never left off.

I sought comfort in my cheer squad. I became best friends with a girl named Jess. Who happened to be the sister of one of my ex-boyfriends. With cheerleading  we were together almost all the time outside of school, and the other times I hung out at her house. We never really fought about anything, if anything that I can remember. Jess was a year behind me and when I went off to college we drifted apart for a year. I was living the college experience and had a steady boyfriend, for once. When his and mine relationship ended and fell apart we soon rekindled our friendship. We once again became inseparable that summer and fall. And we drifted apart.

Both Jess and Sarah are still my best friends no matter what. And have seen me through heartbreak and happiness. As i have also seen them through there hardships. If I was to call them out of nowhere and 2 in the morning I am sure they would talk. In fact I actually talk to them on a regular basis. And whats really weird is they both have the same birth date just exactly a year apart. These two girls are wonderful no matter what disputes come between them and me I know I can always count on them, and they can always count on me. (:

Since I have came to college I have made so many friends, and became apart of a sisterhood. But although I have made new friends, and I am sure that through out my life I will make more. I still keep my old friends. For they both know me better than I may know myself at times.

Well, where do I begin? I guess I will start at the beginning where most people start (: The Diva Den has settled in at our new home for a little bit over a month now. To say the least we have fallen in to quit a routine. Everyone gets up and gets ready without getting in each others way. Occasionally I am there to eat dinner with the family but I am usually working or at a meeting for my sorority and feel as if  I am never home to enjoy a meal at the table with the Divas. But when I am home for those dinners, I love it. And sometimes my cousin stops in to eat with us. Oh, and we have a beautiful deck to enjoy our dinners at as well.

College is taking over my life right now and pretty much keeps me busy especially with working. I am ready for finals but dreading June. Since 4 out of 8 girls are going on vacation either at the same time or one right after the other, I have picked up A LOT of extra hours. Not that I’m complaining because I like my job but I will also be taking a summer math accelerated course ((4 weeks, class every morning for 2 hours)) and most days be going straight to work. I guess this is what they call adulthood huh?

–I know it has taken me awhile to post again but I also keep a journal. Keeping up with both is getting a little harder. Will keep trying my best to keep posting.

“Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I Love You
Go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common since
Never let your prayin’ knees get lazy
And love like crazy”

(Love Like Crazy)- Lee Brice

First let me tell you a little bit about my family. I have a wonderful family. My mom is someone I look up to. She is a single mom of two and I have the utmost respect for her. I know it hasn’t been easy, and I’m sure it still isn’t, but she still loves us. And is someone I really look up too in so many ways. My grandma is truly an inspiration to almost anyone. A survivor of two different types of cancers, and a heart attack, I swear she has nine lives. She reminds me how strong I can be. My aunt is one of a kind. I’ve never known anyone as funny as her, or as outgoing. My sister is simply one of the best. I know she’s afraid to disappoint me but that could never happen. I love all of them with everything and I think sometimes I forget to tell them. All of these women in my life are so strong. I see them face battles every day. They are all strong in their own ways and that’s what makes them so special to me. I wish I had half the fight in me that they have within themselves. They are all beautiful. And they are all my heros!  And with my family, its family first no matter what the circumstance. I couldn’t imagine being a part of any other family. (I could keep going on about this subject)

Now a little bit about me. I’m currently a student at the University of Cincinnati. My goal is to become a high school English teacher. Also my minor will be in journalism. It’s obvious what I plan to do with the education degree but for the journalism part, I’m not so sure on what I want to do it with. They’re so many things I want to do and accomplish. And this is just the beginning….

Love always,

Sarah
