Awareness Latte

     October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Brest Cancer Awareness Month starts Sunday, October 1 and ends Tuesday, October 31. 

     Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States.  In 2011, there have already been 39,520 deaths from breast cancer.  Big foundations like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, small college clubs like Bryant Universities CAC, and individuals like Julie Grimm have been making a difference in breast cancer awareness. 
    Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. For men, the lifetime risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. The number of breast cancer cases in men relative to the population has been fairly stable over the last 30 years.
   Breast cancer is no longer a rude subject and receives a lot of money for research.  Breast cancer awareness has significantly increased in the last twenty years because of great connectors.

Ranting is Good For The Soul

   OK, Rant time for December. I'm sure all of you have heard of the dilemma with December birthdays. I have a November birthday not a December birthday, but a lot of my friends have December birthdays and have given me some feedback. Two words: Combo Gift, December birthdays are just like regular birthdays all year round except for the fact that most people hear the words "This is for your birthday AND Christmas"every year at least once. Excuse me..... they are two separate holidays with two separate meanings, so that means two separate presents. Also, when are you supposed to schedule your birthday party with all of the holiday parties going on, and everyone is on vacation anyway. Birthday dinner? Forget it. Everyone already gained their 10 pounds of Christmas cookies. You might be thinking "Yay, my birthday is after Christmas and Hanukah.", well your wrong because now everyone is planning their New Years plans, so don't get too excited. So thanks for list

Future Latte

In 10 years this post might be completely wrong but this is what i'm aiming for.... In ten years I will be 23 years old and just be a year out of college. I am an NYU graduate, hopefully, and yes I have boyfriend. When I was 13 I thought I would end up forever alone. I also have two dogs, May and April, I might love them more than my boyfriend. I work at Costco, because why not work for a store that could survive the zombie apocalypse and gives you free pizza.  My boyfriend and I live in New York, we were going to live in California, but its going to fall off the face of the earth soon. The most important thing to me is to live in the moment, If you don't live in the moment then you will miss all the amazing thing that are happening in your present life. My advice for my past self was to always live every day to the fullest and don't focus on the past, focus on the present. I remember when I was 13 and my friend asked me "are you high" and I said one of my sign

Dear Diary

2/25/18 Dear Diary,      When my friends from my church started talking about this camp they all went to over the summer together I felt left out. I wanted to learn what it actually was and where it was and how long they all went for. I found out from one of my friends that it was a greek camp called, Fanari, And they picked one week to go out of the 4 weeks.        They all said that my church was going the 3rd week so I considered it. When I realized that it was only 1 week until I had to leave I had a checklist to got through that my church had sent me. After I was done going from store to store looking for various items I went home and picked it all in a duffle bag.        Wow, the day I leave is filled with happiness and nerves, I am excited but also nervous because there are people that I don't know all over the camp. when I get there all my friends brought bags of food and junk that they said we would eat and use in our free time when we had break. I was so excited w
