OverRated

I can't stand R movies. I grew up being taught I should avoid them. But my rebel self had to try them out. Worst. Things. Ever. All of them gave me nightmares or made me want to cry, including the comedies. I swore I'd stop watching them.

Then I came to college. For one class, all the required movies were rated R. I wasn't doing so good in the class so I decided to just suck it up and watch some. They made me feel sick and honestly it wasn't worth the grade. Those nasty things are stuck in my head. So, I swore that I'd never watch another R movie for school again.

Welp, in my social psych class we watched a movie that related to what we were learning. It was called One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest. Something like that. I'd never heard of it before, and didn't even think that it was R. I'm used to having permission slips for that, the real world is crazy. It was interesting at first I guess. But then again, it wasn't. The language was crazy. And the plot was messed up and disturbing in the second half. Right now, I feel sick to my stomach. I can't get the images out of my head. I can't do it. I can't keep having this filth get in my head. Its not ok.

I don't care why it's rated R. I don't care why. But there's something about R movies that I can't handle. This is the last straw. Next time I'm walking out. I can't do them, and I'm not getting swayed anymore. R movies are overrated.

    I find this post so interesting. I like it :) You gotta follow your heart, you know? I think it's particularly interesting that you wouldn't ever have realized how much you don't like R movies if you hadn't seen some.

    But definitely stick to your guns. Your teachers should be accommodating if you're not willing to watch R rated movies, especially since you can cite it as sincerely held religious beliefs.

    I, a devout Christian, watch R rated movies. Not the "comedies" that are super gross (exception: We're the Millers. It was legitimately hilarious and not too bad, except for 2 nude scenes in which I closed my eyes.) The only rated R movies I actually watch are war films, like The Patriot and We Were Soldiers.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...
