7. Ring The Alarm- Beyonce
8. Gimme What I Want- Keri Hilson
9. You Want This- Janet Jackson
10. Cover Girl- Brooke Valentine
11. Morning Glory- Kehlani
12. Still Standing- Monica
13. Yet- Kehlani

Bonus Tracks in honor of my Vegas trip tomorrow:

1. Wasted-Plies
2. One of them Nights- City Girls

Basically, I got in too deep with a guy. I got very...needy and comfortable. The situation gave me butterflies ♥. Until I realized I was doing everything all wrong. I realized that I was in the grey  all by myself. I decided I can't do that anymore. I need to meet people where they are instead of trying to put them where I want them. Some days I'm ok, other days I'm questioning how I could get this so wrong. Nobody feels good 24/7. That's not human. Although I've realized my error, I will ring the alarm so fucking loud if this guy moves on before I'm ready! He has to wait for me to be ready. Because I said so. Life would be so much easier if the men I wanted would just gimme what I want. But you know who does want to give me things....all the guys I DON'T WANT!!!! I'm not interested in anything new. Despite all the male attention, sometimes I just don't feel like a cover girl. (I feel good and bad about that lol) I suppose that shouldn't be the expectation. "If you don't want me at my goodnight, then you can't have me at my morning glory". That's for me. I have to be okay with me.
No matter what I've gone through or what I'm currently going through, I'M STILL STANDING!!! And the best part is, I haven't even reached my full potential yet. I still have so far to go! Like Vegas (LOL jk). Soon as I'm done at the salon, I'm getting wasted and it's going to be one of them nights :)

Until next week, 

LATER!!! 
Here's Bae with "Yet" 

Here's the link to my original soundtrack post: https://nicolenaturally.weebly.com/blog/day-1-soundtrack-to-my-life 

Idk how to make it a clickable link...I don't know this tech stuff lol

Heyyy! In case you didn't notice, I skipped a week...oopsy! I had a very bad meeting last Thursday and I was distraught. I cried myself to sleep after it and was a total zombie the next day. No, I'm not in trouble. I stood up for one of my students and it got a little unprofessional. I was going to put this blog out on Saturday, but I didn't like the idea of straying away from Thursdays when there's nothing special going on ,I was just going through a thing.

Dude Update- on Monday, I finally met Darnell. Darnell is this guy that has been waving to me everyday since August LOL. I'm not sure why he decided to start saying something now, but he did. *face palm* Yall know I don't want nothing to do with no man...I'm still trying to get over the last guy. I remember wishing I had boy problems...now I'm wondering why. I was an idiot. I decided I don't want to deal with anymore men and then they started popping up outta nowhere. 
Vegas Update- NEXT FRIDAY, I'M OUT THIS BITCH!!!! It'll be my first solo flight after only flying once previously (technically 4 planes, but only 1 trip). I'm a little nervous, but soooo excited! Still dreading those sub plans, but they are going to be totally worth it. Miss Alexander who? I'm not about to know her.
Teacher of the Year Update- I accepted my nomination and submitted all the required materials. Don't know when I'll hear back. 

OK so let's get into the topic I chose to write about today. I chose roommates because my previous blogs have been so heavy and revealing. I needed a break from my own vulnerability!!! I wanted to go for something a little lighthearted. 

I am not perfect...especially at home. It's my place to be unperfect. I don't think that's a word, but I'm gonna use it today. I'm very protective of my space. My job is stressful and draining. Home is my place to let out what I've been holding in...that kinda sounds like I'm talking about pooping. I mean I guess that too LOL but that's not what I meant. That release manifests in ways that other people might not like. With that being said, here's what makes me a bad roommate:

1. I'm moody.
2. I'm the only one that's allowed to be messy.
3. I like loud music.
4. I don't like wet chores. I've been known to throw temper tantrums over washing the dishes. 
5. I don't like being fully dressed at home
6. I don't like company.
7. I don't want your toxic ass relationship in my home
8. I could go year round with the A/C on
9. Quiet hours are real
10. Teacher shit everywhere

Here is what makes me a good roommate:

1. I cook a lot of good food
2. I watch good tv
3. I share pretty well
4. I'm a good listener
5. I'll mommy you when you're sick
6. I take good pictures. You'll get all the likes on IG
7. I have a set schedule so I leave and come home at the same time everyday (that's a stretch, but I'm running out of good things lol)

​
IG QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Question 1: What makes you a bad roommate?

Answer 1: I don't wash the dishes until the sink is full
ME: BROOOOOO! Me and the dishes is a never ending battle. If paper products weren't so bad for the environment, I would have disposable everything. 

Answer 2: I'm a slob and set too many alarms
ME: You're a slob?! That just seems so weird. And I'm with you when it comes to the alarms. I have 4 that go off in 15 minute increments beginning at 5am. 

Answer 3: I clean too much
ME:...umm what? Is that a thing? I mean I guess it would annoy me if I was drinking something and you kept taking my cups. But otherwise...you're gonna have to explain that.

Answer 4: Me lmao
ME: Umm we were roommates before...more than once! Shutup!

Question 2: What is unacceptable from a roommate?

Answer 1: Leaving a dirty bathroom.
ME:...you mean like a dirty toilet/sink/bathtub? Or stuff everywhere? Because I got hair and mouth products all over my sink...

Answer 2: Take my last
ME: OMG YESSSSS! 

Answer 3: Leave blood on the toilet seat and then clean it up off with toilet paper and water
ME: First of all (LMAO!!!!!) I'm so weak!!! That's disgusting! I don't think people understand how important it is to CLEAN that off the toilet. 

Answer 4: Fart in their sleep
Me: Again (LMAO!!!!!) I don't think people can control that, but that is gross

Answer 5: Not be respectful of boundaries
ME: I think that can sum up everything! I especially hate it when we discuss a problem and then they do the same thing again and again. 

It's interesting to hear what things annoy people in a roommate. As always, thanks for participating!!! 

And again, as always, here's super preggo bae :) this video just came out this week!
