Poetry Saturday - My Love

I'm not sure if this is a poem per say but I really love just imagining scenes in my head and writing them  in a poetic and beautiful way. Hope you enjoy!

"The sun shines in softly through the window as a gentle breeze dances with the sheer white drapes. As I stretch out my sleeping muscles, I hear a soft moan beside me. My dearest love snuggles closer to me and lays her head upon my chest as she sleepily wraps her arms around me. A small flash of light catches my eye, the shimmering of the ring on her left hand and I feel my heart swell with love. I can't help but smile at her sweet innocence. As I look upon her face, soft, delicate features, she looks so peaceful, no trace of any of the pain she has suffered through. A small tendril of hair falls across her face and my arm instinctively move to brush it behind her ear. I just think how incredible it is, how we fit together so perfectly, how we found peace together and that we found each other. I draw her up in my arms as she opens her tired eyes and looks up at me with those brilliant crystal blue orbs that always hold me in amazement. I gently lift her chin, drawing her lips to mine. I love this woman. She is my heart, my soul, my very existence. I could never survive without her."

Weekly Pet Challenge 4: the Kittens

Welcome everyone to week 4 of my pet round up. Meet Oliver (orange) and Nix (black). We rescued these two little kittens and have had them for about two weeks. They are about 8 weeks old now and they are boths so incredibly tiny! There have been times when I roll over in bed at night and wake up like, "oh crud there's a kitten" lol.

(the two of them decided to fall asleep on my computer when I was working on my final presentation for Journalsim class...)

They are so incredibly adorable and I love them so much! They were pretty easy to litter train, however they for some reason love peeing on my curtains....and there have been a couple times when I woke up because they peed on my comfoter by my feet but hey they're kittens, whatcha gonna do?

One downside is they do have really bad fleas, they had them when we rescued them and we are trying really hard to get rid of them, pretty much flea combing them every other day and spraying my room with the egg killer spray and they are too young to use flea treatment because it could give them sesures. If any of you reading this out there have advice on getting rid of fleas let me know.

Other than that, they are just really crazy active, they love play fighting and attacking my other cat Kitsu's tail. Kitsu didn't like them at first but now he has gone into pretty much "mommy mode" and it's adorable and sweet. Its funny because they are terrified of the ferrets (and are smaller than them...)

Enjoy the cute pictures:

 (Nix was the first to fall asleep on my computer then Oliver came up and cuddled next to her in the picture above)

I guess my backpack makes a comfy seat.

 Nix was cuddling Oliver's butt and we were making jokes that she was like "oh butt, tell me your secrets" lol

Hope you guys enjoy these cute posts. I would love feedback from all the readers out there. I am actually writing this at work, I am so bored and I have had almost nothing to do all day. This has litterally been one of the longest work days ever! One minute feels like 5 and it is just rediculous. And before anyone goes crazy about "hey you shouldn't be on blogger at work" I am on my lunch break lol. Just blagh, long day. Anyhow, have an awesome day guys! <3 Kimmie

College Survival Guide: Toto We're Not in High School Anymore

So by now one thing for all college students is sure, “Toto we are definitely not in high school anymore.”

For some this transition can be very difficult, while for others it is a breeze. But as this first year of college for many of us is coming to a close, I wanted to talk about how college life can change us and the differences between high school and college.

College is a huge change from high school. You are completely responsible for yourself. No one in college is going to hold your hand as you go along. You are responsible for choosing your own classes, turning in everything and so on. Professors in college will also not be as lenient as those in high school.

For me the transition wasn't to difficult, however when I was away last semester I was pretty home sick when I first left. It took me a little bit to get into the swing of being in college on a personal level, but when it came down to academics I was on par. I think it is because I have always been pretty "good" at school.

The hardest part for me was getting everything organized realizing that I was an adult now. How did all of you out there react to the transition? Let me know in the comments down below.

For all of those like me finishing up your first year of college I just wanted to say congrats! We made it! I know college can be difficult, you are moving on from everything that is familiar and comfortable into the adult world. Life changes from being a kid, to being a grown-up. We are responsible for ourselves now. It is our job to stay on top of everything, map out our lives and create our own future. We have just completed the first leg of our journey with much more to go. I wish you all luck on the remainder of your journey and I hope that it goes where you want it.

I hope that everything is what you hoped it would be. <3 Kimmie

Proof that Teachers Do Care

While browsing the Freshly Pressed section through Daily Post I came across this post called "What Students Really Need to Hear." It really stood out to me because I am a student and to me it screamed out "read me!"

The post is written by a teacher who typed out this message he wanted to say to his students to explain to them why they shouldn't quit or take the easy way out. He writes about how despite what we are made to believe, academics are not the main point of school. It is to prepair us for life. To make us strong enough to face the challenges that are set before us. Build our resolve to see each task we face to the end. To open our minds to the expanding world around us.

For all those students out there (and teachers) it is definetly worth reading. It is a wonderful refresher to see how much teachers actually care about there students. This is the comment I left on his post:

"I absolutely love this post. As a student it is very refreshing to see a teacher who generally cares about their students and are willing to fight for them. Thank you for that. Thank you for proving to me and all other students that there are people willing to push us to be our best, even when we don’t want to. Thank you for reminding me why I work so hard in school, because it isn’t just about the acedemics, it is about prepairing for the bigger picture in life and working your ass off to be the very best you can be in every aspect of your life.

You have my respect sir.

Sincearly, Kimberly (the college blogger)"

Hope you enjoy and take a second to read his post. Have an awesome day!

Self-psychoanalysis via your bookshelf or Music.

I found this idea on the Daily Post and when I saw it I instantly knew I wanted to write from the idea. It is interesting and different and makes you take a critical look at yourself from another perspective. So, I hope you guys and enjoy and maybe get to know me a little bit better.

Take the five books on your nightstand, the last five songs you listened to, the last five movies you watched, or the last five blog posts you liked — what do they say about you?

According to my books:
Ok, so when I first thought about this I started laughing because I just heard a voice in my head saying, “you have the bookshelf of a middle age house wife with a boring sex life.” To explain why this popped in my head, I love reading romance novels. (Some of my favorites authors are Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kerrilyn Sparks and Martha)

But for me it isn’t about the smut that, for some, is all they want to get off to. For me, I genuinely love the story lines and watching the characters come together and I just love happy endings.

These aren’t the only books in my collection I promise. I love fantasy, romance, mystery and paranormal/supernatural. So to analyze myself according to these books I would say, “The owner of these books wants to escape from real life. Loves to be transported to another world and get lost, forgetting about life. Not one to want to struggle through a text.”

According to my music:
I have an insanely eclectic taste in music, listening to everything from country to Broadway to metal and rock to hip-hop and pop, and I can switch between these genres without missing a beat.

My analysis would be: “Kim listens to a vast variety of music because she is crazy! (Haha just kidding!!!) But because she likes to experience different things and listen to whatever fits her mood or makes her happy. The kind of person to sing at the top of her lungs to a song. Helps her to cheer up, make her smile, feel for her when she needs to cry, or be the DJ when she wants to dance in the rain.”

Hope you enjoy this little insight to my brain. Big hugs, <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-kimmie.="">

Poetry Saturday - Poetry Slam Poem

Ever since we were young,

There is a song that has always been sung,

Adults and parents always said:

If you wish and you dream,

And you hope and you seem,

you can become anything and go anywhere.

But in a grown up world of deadlines and dates,

We’ve learned that this is not always the case.

Here in this land of responsibility and adulthood,

There is no clear path to our dreams,

But instead a road full of bumps, thorns and weeds.

However, it is our goal, our duty our mission,

To continue down our road without submission.

Life’s greatest test, is our ability to continue on.

To push on, to push forward, keep going,

Down that path with no knowing,

No inkling of what will stand in the way,

But still look forward to the future bright as day.

The world may place trials in your way,

But the strength you have can never displace.

As troubled as the night may seem,

Stand tall for the day,

When you will face the world and say,

“Here, here I am,

here, here I stand.

I will fight and I may fall,

But I will survive through it all.

The world may be rough,

But I am tougher

And that’s enough.

I am stronger than it all.”

So we can be anything we wish and dream,

Go anywhere we hope and seem.

Just push on and keep traveling on,

That long winding road to our dreams and the dawn.

Weekly Pet Challenge: Week 3 - Kitsu

Hey guys, welcome to another week in my pet round up! Moving on in order, I am going to be talking about my cat Kitsu. According to my friend Emmy, Kitsu means kitty in Estonian and she suggested the name when we were first trying to name him and we couldn't think of anything else so it just kind of stuck. After he got his tail bitten he has a permanent mini-kink in his tail so now we jokingly call him "Kinky Kitsu."

I already did a post about Kitsu when we rescued him, which you can read here. But basically we found him roaming around our block crying and following everyone around. We had been seeing him for a couple days and just decided to try and catch him, give him some food and see if we could find him a home. He was so skinny and skittish when we found him that we just guessed that he was dumped at the park near our house.

We weren't able to find him a home so we just kept him and now he is a plump 6-8 month old kitten who loves sleeping on my bed and laying in front of the window (he gets mad and meows when we close the curtains because he loves the sun.)

The original Kitsu post has more photos of when we first got him so here are some updated ones:

 

Johnny fell asleep on my bed and all three kittens decide to sleep next to his legs. (Kitsu is the largest one, black and white, in between Johnny's legs lol)
