What I learned this Thanksgiving

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... that when at Busch Gardens do not ride the Sandstorm if you suffer from severe motion sickness.

Other than that, I am thankful for all the friends who are true enough to wish me a happy Thanksgiving.

I had a nice break with my family but am back to Leo tomorrow. :)

10 days and counting till I'm home for a month for Christmas, my favorite holiday.

I am a lonely college student who would be eternally grateful to anyone who wants to send me a christmas card to the University.

So if your interested send to: Chelsea DeVries P.O. Box 5555 MC#3369, 33701 State Rd. 52, Saint Leo, FL 33574.

Until next time be GRATEFUL.

Love Times Infinity,
Chelsea

Waiting For You

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...by Susane Colosanti has really opened my eyes. See all this time I've been looking for a guy with THE LOOK and the personality when you should find someone who cares about you for you. Looks fade. What's inside is what lasts forever.


I spent five months in love with a boy who was my perfect picture. He was extremely attractive but he didn't really care about me for me. I was just a stroke for his sleazoid ego. His name might as well have been Derek(it wasn't).

Now I must figure out who in my life is my Nash. Maybe I haven't met him yet but I'm getting that gut feeling that I have met him. Now, I have to run through each guy I know and figure out who it is.

Until next time remember, the perfect picture can fade but the real experience is forever. <3

What I've Learned

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... this month so far. Sometimes we need to rule people out of our life because in the end, they may come back only to realize that they need you in their life and you always knew you needed them in yours.

Well, I've learned that you should surround yourself with people who love you for YOU and they truly care about you and your life as much as you care about theirs. I've learned that life can get you down but someone out there has it MUCH worse than you do. Instead of sulking in our problems, we should pray for those people. :D

Until next time, spread the love.

Over You

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

Over You

To Buzz

I finally realized
that I am ready to unlove you.

Unlove you
not texting me back
after how close we had gotten.

How I opened my heart to you
and let you in on the secrets
of my soul and you
decided you were just gonna
rule me out of your life
by ignoring me completely.

Ignorance is your new best friend.

I don't know
why guys think it is ok to boost their ego
by leading innocent girls on
by texting them out of the blue
talking to them almost every day for hours at a time,
smiling at them condescendingly.

Well, I'm not a doll
and my heart is not a toy.
I'm done with the games.

I'm over you
and your childish ways.

I unlove you
as of right now.

Chelsea DeVries

Remember that boy who had my heart well it didn't work out.
It's ok though.
Life goes on.

Until next time,
find happiness in Sadness.

Love Times Infinity,
Chelsea

Boycotting Social Networking

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... was a complete success. By not comparing my lives to others for one week, I had no choice but to be happy with my life. I was left with a lot of love in my absence but in my absence, I got to live my life and enjoy it. I wasn't thinking "oh my goodness!" I miss Facebook so much. I miss Myspace so much. I cannot live without them.

Nope. I started a new novel. Got all my hw done on time and enjoyed spending time with my family. It was a good experiment. Next time, it will be a 2 wk boycott. Gosh, how will I use all that time I will have freed up?

Until next time, take a social networking break.

Love Times Infinity,
Chelsea

Prepared to be chased.

Until next time, sometimes tears are the only things left to say.

Keeping my distance

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... from love lately. I still love him. By him, I'm referring to the boy from my last entry but this is the deal I made with myself. I will see how long I can go without talking to him. By doing this, he may be forced to miss me enough to contact me.

Yeah, ok it may work. We'll just have to hope God's hand is in it.

Until next time Look up, you may see a rainbow. :)

Love

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... does it exist? I'd like to think it does. The funny thing is that I am in love with a boy I've known for quite a while. It was bound to happen, I guess. I truly believe that we are meant to be but I don't want to tell him in fear that I ruin our friendship. I will just let life take its course and maybe I will fall out of love with him or maybe, he will fall in love with me. Whatever happens, I know it will be for the best.

I'm mature enough now to know that everything happens for a reason and whatever happens happens. God is only good. The destruction we see in this world, the death, it is all Satan's doing. Never turn your back on God because you believe he is out to punish you. God is a LOVING God not a vengeful God.

Until next time have faith to believe in love because you may just find your only exception.

Love Times Infinity,
Chelsea

Cynical

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... Not that I have lost my faith, I just need everyone to know that don't rush into college. Wait a year and then go. The reality is college sucks. At least, freshman year anyway.

1. Your roommate would rather hang out with a little minion than her own roommate and come in at all hours of the night.
2. Your alarm clock doesn't work properly so you constantly feel like a failure because you continue to miss your classes.
3. The girls are still as catty as they were in high school. They tell you there won't be cliques but THERE IS cliques.
4. For the most part, the boys still have yet to see their balls drop so they still act like pricks in that they lead you on when they have a psycho lesbian gf. Or, they ignore you and just stare at you and hope you will come over and talk to them.
5. They said the professors would be nice and they would care about you. Not true. Saint Leo is just like any other school.
6. The books cost a fortune so make sure you start investing now. Yes, I am talking to all you five year olds out there.
7. Some people would rather hang out with the party animals aka the drunk bums because in all reality, they wish they had your life.
8.On Campus jobs suck. They pay you minimum wage and fail to inform you of the time sheet procedures so this way your time sheet is turned in wrong and they don't have to pay you for all the hours you worked.
9.The homework piles up if you don't work on it right away. You are forced to manage your own time. That leaves no room for gallavanting around campus marketing flyers about your books.
10. In the words of Flo Massaro, "College Food sucks."

Until next time don't go to college. Work a part-time job for another year, save up all your loose change, then go to college.

Love Times Infinity,
Chelsea

Facades

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... are such wonderful things. You truly may never really know a person. So I don't know if you read that one post..that is now gone but that guy I wrote about. Ya, he's not the limit to my cosine. And I definitely am glad to find this out now becuz I don't want to know he's psycho years from now...

Anywho so I'm back to square one. Yet, this time I feel as though I can make it through. I will wear my single girl swag and my dream guy will come out of the woodwork.

He will, I believe it. :)

Thank you to all my friends that have encouraged me and stood by me through all the heart fractures and breaks. I love you all. :)

Until next time everyone deserves someone to hold. :)

College Life

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... Makes me giddy with happiness. :)

I started my job this week. I like it a lot.

I barely passed my first test. :/

Found out I'm in love with the library...cuz I can fully study there and I can hear my own brain processing information.

Having fun working on my narrative for English...we get to choose our own topic. I chose the day I met Ryan Sheckler. :)

Went to my first college volleyball game. It was intensely fun. :)

Hitting the pool tomorrow to get my fall tan on. :D

Until next time find something good and your life or a few things that are good in your life and thank God for each one of those blessings. :)

New Beginnings

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... begin tomorrow. I move into to Saint Leo University. I am sooo excited. :)

This week under unfortunate circumstances, things in my life have worked themselves out.

It is true. When you give your problems to God, he does fully give you results that were greater than you ever could have expected.

I wish all my friends a great skewl yr, some a great SENIOR yr, and to my fellow graduates I wish you a BLESSED year wherever life takes you.

Until next time, thank God for your Blesssings twice. :)

What I've learned

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... I've learned that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for... To the boy who no longer has my heart: Sorry, I found out who you really are and that we may never be friends again but I wish you all the best!

Anywho, this week I chilled at home and have been packing for college.

Today is my mom's b-day. Have a great day Mom! Gonna watch Seventeen Again tonight. I'm so psyched. :D

Well until next time, don't fall for someone unless you are sure they will catch you.

Looking forward to watching the Dew Tour this weekend.

Do you believe in magic?

Teenage Author stuck in Reality... cuz I do but I'll get to that in few. Ok so tuesday I became a legal adult. Now I'm 18 years young. :) Tuesday was a great day and one of the best birthdays I ever had... Thanks to Bailey Logan and all my family and friends who wished me a great day. I sincerely love you all. :) Plus, I saw the Ugly Truth Tuesday as well and it was the best movie I've seen since Seventeen Again. So funny. Go see it if you haven't yet.

Also, yesterday went to Busch Gardens with my home skillet bizcut Tom The Bomb and had a kick ass time. All day, we worked on a random rap song and it still is in progress but it is a really funny song. Plus, I saw the amazingly talented Darren Romeo. I now believe in magic, thanks to him. :)

Until next time believe in magic or go see Darren Romeo at Busch Gardens b4 Aug. 16.

What a week.

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

So Today I went to see Funny People. I'll give it an 8 out of 10. Too many sexual references, the first half hour of the movie put me to sleep but after that things got better...

Also, remember last week's post about the boy who has my heart... things are looking up with him.

Hopefully soon I can tell you I have a bf. That would be the best b-day present ever.
Turning 18 on Tuesday, btw.

Until next time just keep swimming.

Maybe

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

This week went so fast but I truly am so blessed.

On Wednesday, I went to the beach with my good friends Tom The Bomb and Dan The Man.
They are the kewlest broz. I know. :)

Last week I found out that the boy who has my heart will not be able to be together right now...
In lieu of that, I wrote a poem entitled "Maybe." It is inspired by Kelly Clarkson's "Maybe" and Demi Lovato's "Fall Over Me."
To read the poem, please visit my Myspace. www.myspace.com/floridachic2626 or my poemhunter page. www.poemhunter.com/chelsea-devries.

Until next time Love someone anyway no matter how much it may hurt to see them with someone else.

Life

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

So if you didn't visit my twitter for the play by play of my orientation, it was monotonous in case you were wondering. Too much stuff packed into two days and the kids still carried the high school mentality.

On Tuesday, went to the beach with the kewlest kid eva... My home boy Tommy aka Jama-Jama. He is hilarious. :)

Here's a little visual for ya:

Gosh, don't drool too much. :P

Seriously believe that I am destined for love not to love me back.

Today is my dad's b-day. Too bad he has to drive a truck on his b-day.

Until next time Get a tan or sunburnt, whichever occurs first. :P

Happy 4th of July!

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

So, since the last update...here's what has happened in my life.

On Tuesday, I saw My Sister's Keeper and Year One. Both were really good.

Yesterday, I went to Busch Gardens. Had so much fun with my mom, my sisters, and Allie. Saw David Cassidy in concert. Only knew one song. My mom was happy though. He was apparently one of her teen crushes. If the Jonas Brothers would have took the stage, you might have gotten the same reaction out of me but itz kewl.

Leaving the park, we rolled down our windows as we rocked out to Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted. People walking by thought we were strange but we didn't care. We were laughing so hard and having a blast.

Then, before going home we took a 11pm drive to Taco Bell.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

It was crazy funnn. Next weekend, I go to my college orientation. I am soo stoked for that it is unreal.

Until next time

Visit the Big Busch and turn your music up and rock out loud! :D

How I Feel

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

Today is June 26, 2009. The day that love is supposed to come knocking on my door. Yet again, nothing. So to describe how I feel, I am going to post the lyrics to one of my favorite Kelly Clarkson songs, HOW I FEEL:

Looks like I made a mess again/Heartbreak everywhere I step/This fire is getting hot again/But I touch the flame cuz I'm a curious cat/Creeping where I don't belong/Finding out what I knew all along/Crying all alone/ And it's all my fault, all my fault/ Yeah, I did it again...again/

Oh, I'm getting tired of believing/Even sicker of pretending/That it's not so bad,just wait it out/Oh, I think YOU'RE feeding me LIES again/THE ONLY GOOD MAN LEFT WASN'T HIM/AND THAT'S HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW SO LET ME BE/LET ME BE

It seems EVERYTIME I FIND A GOOD MAN/HE'S GOT A GOOD LITTLE WIFE/I'm not jealous but I won't lie/ I don't want to hear about your wonderful life/And babies everywhere I look/Trophy wives with their little black books/At this rate, I'M GONNA END UP ALONE/IT'S PROBABLY ALL MY FAULT, ALL MY FAULT/Oh, another dead end...again.

Oh, I'm getting tired of believing/Even sicker of pretending/That it's not so bad,just wait it out/Oh, I think YOU'RE feeding me LIES again/THE ONLY GOOD MAN LEFT WASN'T HIM/AND THAT'S HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW.

BITTER PILL THAT I'VE SWALLOWED/JUST HOW LOW CAN MY HEART SINK?/Fairytales from so long ago/SAVE THEM FOR SOMEONE THAT'S NOT SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW/Cause I, I'm getting tired of believing/I'M THROUGH PRETENDING/YEAH I'M BROKEN AND SAD SO I'LL SIT THIS ONE OUT.

Oh, I'm getting tired of believing/Even sicker of pretending/That it's not so bad,just wait it out/Oh, I think YOU'RE feeding me LIES again/THE ONLY GOOD MAN LEFT WASN'T HIM/AND THAT'S HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW/How I feel right now/How I feel right now/How I feel right now/Let me be/How I feel right now/How I feel right now/How I feel right now/Let me be.

I'm not giving up on love,but I'm just gonna sit this round out.

On a better note, looking forward to watching Princess Protection Program tonite.

With Love and Prayers,
Chelsea

Updating you

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

So it has almost been a month. Thought you would be all but dying to know whats been up in my life.

Well, summer is good so far. Today I went to the movies and saw Street Dreams and The Proposal. Both reel good movies. Too bad I didnt have a date for either(although my mom was a fine substitute).

My luck turned recently but I'll get over it.

Next friday is the big day. June 26. Maybe love will come knocking on my door this year.

I pray it will...
Until next time...Just Keep Swimming and know that EVERYONE has a purpose in this life.

May 23, 2009-Update

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

Ok so, high school is officially over. It occured to me on my last day how much of an effect I had on the ppl at HHS and how many friends I made even though I never expected to...

Also, drove again in 6 months on wed. Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous. I was excited to be driving. :P

On thursday, I chilled with my home skillet bizcut, Bailey. I also got my GHS yrbook and my senior picture was in it. I can barely look at the yrbook tho thinking that I shood b in the IB pictures and all. Plus, I cried(and laughed so hard I cried again) reading what Bailey wrote me. I'm so glad I didn't let her walk out of my life. In her own way, she truly is a friend. I hope to stay friends with her for life. :D

May 22, 2009, I finally realized how blessed the last five years of my life have been and I can say that my life is going to continue being blessed.

Thanks for reading.

Until next time ~Count Your Blessings Twice.~

Wow. It'z been a while

Teenage Author stuck in Reality...

So after getting accepted to Saint Leo University and a few months letting my love for a skater boy sit on the shelf, attending Tampa Pro 2009( freaking sick, Congratz Greg!) and finding a new understanding of the past five years of my life...
I must say Life is freaking good right now. I am happy.

So happy I didnt let my home skillet Bailey walk out of my life for good...it may be said that she could be a better friend than a girl I have called my best friend for 2 and a half years...

Anywho, saw "Seventeen Again." Such a goooood movie. Go see it. Seriously, ppl.

May or may not be going to my senior prom. Let's see what God provides. :D

O ya, may start driving again so I can get the license so I can finally be free from the parentals.

Until next time,
