Exams are Finally Over!
Thank goodness, exams are finally over! I can finally kick back, relax, and actually talk to you guys!
Okay, so just in case this is the last post before the end of the world (which btw, I think is totally bogus and not real, so don't you worry your little heads off), i just want to say: I LOVE YOU GUYS! <3 thanks for reading my wonderful blog <3
Alright, here were some outstanding questions that I never got around to answering... I'm so sorry for the delay, guys. I really didn't mean to take so long. It's just all that studying, and my gosh, getting those marks back today after the fact.... *stupid, stupid, stupid mistakes!*
Q: Do you believe in 'flirtationships'? - via Twitter
JAAG: I break it down this way: a relationship is when you and another person are totally in love with each other and you guys make time for each other and your own things so much so that you aren't smothered by each other and you aren't following one another around. There is trust and love, but no obsession. A friendship is when you are just good friends with someone, no romantic interests, no strings attached. You genuinely love that person but not in a romantic way. A flirtationship? Somewhere in between. I find that sometimes I flirt with guys because honestly, even though its a bad thing, it's my autopilot. There are some guys that I will flirt with more than others because they are cute or maybe, they are flirting back too. I know its a bad habit because I may be leading someone on, but in the event that this person has made it clear that they are not ready to get into a relationship and I have told myself that I don't like this person, well, there you have a flirtationship :)
Q: How can I be sure that my boyfriend is the one? We've been dating for three years during high school and now we are still dating and its our first year of university. First term is over but we are still madly in love. Do you think he is the one? - via Tumblr
JAAG: You will have to answer that one yourself, my friend! I think that it's really awesome that you and your boyfriend have been able to hold a relationship this long even though you both are going through so many different changes in your lives. But one thing you will have to confront is whether or not this love will last. For your sake, I personally hope that you two last forever and get married and start a family together. But be warned, something could happen and you may find yourself a single chick. Remember that now that you are out of high school you aren't restricted to the bounds of the classroom. You are a woman now, a woman who is capable of dating anyone you want. It's great that you two are able to work it out. As long as you two still love each other and are willing to sacrifice anything for each other, I would say that you have found yourself a winner. Best of luck!
Q: My parents want me to stop dating this girl because she is affecting my school work. I don't think that she is the problem though. How can I prove to them that she isn't? - via Twitter
JAAG: Ask yourself this: Are you spending so much time with her outside of school, so much time Facebooking or texting her that you can't get your assignments done on time? If this is so, then maybe you may need to rethink your homework location. In order to show your parents that you aren't obsessed with this girl (which you may or may not), start by cleaning up your act. Get those assignments in on time and finish your homework. Hand in any outstanding projects that you haven't done yet. Know that the faster you get your work done, the faster you can have free time to talk to your girl. Hopefully you aren't too hung onto her; remember, girls need space and time to do their homework too! :)
Q: Is there anything you can suggest on how to break up with my boyfriend? he has been following me around a lot lately, after I told him that I need space. He is suffocating me and I can't stand it. Help! - via Tumblr
JAAG: I've been in your situation, so I think I can help you out. The only thing I can't do for you is breaking up with the guy. That is something that you will have to sort out on your own. What I can offer is this: maybe try talking to the guy one more time. Make clear your expectations on how much time you want to hang out and that sometimes, you want to chill with your girls too. Give him a week to settle into this new ideal. If he still isn't getting it, you will have to kiss this boy good bye. Unfortunately, I realize that some boys (especially if it's their first relationship) can get really clingy. Communicate what you want to see at first, but if it doesn't happen, then talk to him. Make it clear and to the point that you want to break up with him; don't beat around the bush. And if there is one thing that I have learned after all this time, don't try and plan out what you are going to say. Chances are, you are only going to say 15% of what you meant to say, and the rest, well, it came out of nowhere. I hope that everything works out for you!
******And finally, this question that I found so amusing....*****
Q: Is it true that you have a new celebrity crush? I just realized that there are less and less of pictures of Logan Henderson on your Tumblr :$ - via Tumblr
JAAG: Well, "you got me"! (that's a Jimmy Fallon quote) :) Logan Henderson and the boys of Big Time Rush are never far away from my heart, I still watch their show and still love their music and sing along, but recently I have fallen for Jimmy Fallon, the best Late Night host EVER. If you have never watched his show, I suggest that you YouTube it or tune in (record it, of course! The show airs incredibly late!) He is just so funny, an amazing singer, and his jokes are really good. He is nice and loveable and really, really attractive. Just saying :) My Tumblr has now been invaded by him. #likeaboss
There you have it ! The first snowfall happened in my town today, and I'm not sure if I want a snow day tomorrow or not. Probably not, though.
Also, keep praying for the victims of the Newtown, Conneticut shooting. All the children in the town have returned to school but I'm sure that parents, teachers and students alike have a new sense of fear when going to school. I am so lucky that it hasn't happened here in my town, but I know that it could happen. I wish nothing but the best for all the residents of Newtown and all the families of the victims.
Christmas spirit for you guys! I just watched the NBC Michael Buble Christmas special. Here is an original song by him, "Cold December Night". It's gorgeous! <3
<3 <3 Enjoy!
STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! If I'm not on here again, I hope that everyone has a lovely Christmas and a wonderful New Year! And also that the world doesn't end... just yet... :)
love,

exams :(
Hey, I'm terribly sorry for not updating in so long. It's been really stressful lately, trying to prepare for exams and everything. Tomorrow marks midterms for me, and for me, it doesn't end until Saturday... :( so sad. But you know what, the faster I get this done, the faster I can get back on here and answer all your questions ... I'm really sorry for not getting to your questions! Remember that you all mean a lot to me... I'll be back, promise!
In the meantime, since Christmas is so close, we can almost taste the fruitcake, here is something to get you in the holiday mood:
Remember my main man, Jimmy Fallon? Not only is he funny, he is an amazing singer as well! Here he is with his backup band, The Roots, and the beautiful Mariah Carey singing her smash Christmas hit, "All I Want for Christmas is You".... with instruments that you might find in an elementary school music room... and you know what, it's amazing. I loved it, and I'm sure you will too :)
So goood <3
Anyways, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! Enjoy the days leading up to Christmas... I know I will after exams end :)
Merry Christmas!
