My Random Addictions: TV Shows

Hey everyone!

I figured it was about time for a "My Random Addictions" blog post and this is the perfect topic! Everyone has a guilty pleasure when it comes to TV whether it's a comedy show you like, an oldies series, or in my case reality TV. I have no idea why I love to watch other people's lives unfold, but it is definitely a random addiction. There is something about watching people on TV that you have no connection to, yet once you get hooked and watch more episodes you feel like you know them. Currently, my favorite reality TV show is The Challenge: Rivals 2, but this is only because I am heavily addicted to The Real World. I have no idea why, especially since their party lifestyle is something I would never partake in. I love to get to know the people in the house, predict what will happen, who will hook up with who, and typically find a favorite who I will then proceed to twitter stalk. I know, super weird. But don't you all have weird TV addictions too? Maybe it is just me, but I'm not ashamed!(Clearly since I'm writing about it in a post to the world) It all started not super far back in the past my freshman year in college with The Real World: Las Vegas where I became obsessed with Heather Marter and Dustin Zito. I still to this day love to read their tweets about what is going on in their lives, although unfortunately they broke up a few months ago which made me SUPER sad. Pathetic right? Now I look forward to when they are contestants on The Challenge series. Through the challenge, I have come to love old Real World or Road Rules cast members such as CT and Diem. I have to admit, once I find a new "old" cast member that I love I will Google about them to see what they started off as and where they're at now. It's a problem. A random addiction. What is it about these shows that hook you in when you have no real connection to these people and more than likely never will? I have no idea, but I love it! These are just shows that I am currently addicted to. Other obsessions of mine are mostly TV shows that have ended and I wind up watching over and over again on DVD (Gilmore Girls, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, Boy Meets World). Anyway, so what are your TV guilty pleasures? I'd love to read about them!

Disney World '13 and Pet Peeves: Theme Park Edition

Hello everyone :),

Last weekend my "little sister" and I went to Walt Disney World to celebrate her birthday. We had such a great time! We started off the trip at Downtown Disney where we purchased our outfits for the weekend and looked around. After heading to our hotel, we decided to test out our LifeProof iPhone 5 cases and take a dip in the pool and try out some underwater pictures and videos. Needless to say: it was super successful and so many great pictures came out of it! We had a delicious dinner at Outback Steakhouse that night before watching Monk and heading to sleep. The next morning we got up early for extra magic hours at Hollywood Studios and spent the morning riding the best rides Disney has to offer: Toy Story Mania, Tower of Terror, and Rock N Roll Rollercoaster. Of course we did almost all of the other rides and shows at the park, but those were definitely the top. In the afternoon we headed over to Animal Kingdom and got very lucky with no lines! We rode almost everything except the water ride in that park before going back over to Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic, my favorite night time show at Disney! What are your favorite things about Disney World? Do you have a favorite show, ride, or something you just always look forward to? Let me know! I'd love to hear :)

I had such an amazing weekend with the best little sis a girl could ask for, and look forward to more adventures with her since all of our adventures are such a good time full of laughter, cotton candy, and 3oh!3 jam sessions. I am super excited about what October has to hold since I will be attending my first USF football game of the year, taking a road trip with the Franeks to Chattanooga, TN, going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. Can't wait to fill you in on my adventures!

Oh by the way, check out our new Pet Peeves video: Theme Park Edition! Of course we had to make another ;). After watching that, check out our short video of our vacation and the peeves we spotted while at the parks! Also subscribe to our channel as we plan on vlogging more frequently!

Big Lights Will Inspire You: NYC '13

Hello bloggers!

This year for labor day weekend I got to go to NYC for a girls weekend with my mom, cousin, and Aunt for my Aunt Ruth's birthday! It was so much fun! This was my first time staying in the city since I had been before in 2011 with Madi and his family for Uncle Scott's wedding. This time we saw so many things: Ground Zero, Times Square, Chinatown, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Upper Manhattan, and we got to see The Lion King on Broadway which is one of my favorite Broadway plays! Here is a video I put together for our trip that's like five minutes long of the sights of NYC and some strange people that we saw. Hope you enjoy it!
