Holly: A lot of things have changed for us in a short amount of time. So here's what's going on.
We have been at our new apartment for about four weeks now. While it still has its messy places, its boxes of stuff with nowhere to go, and a washer that still needs to be hooked up (any takers?????), we are feeling very at home and happy. This morning we finally had to turn on the AC after putting it off for a while now...Berea Municipal is scary.....more on that later. Wiley is contently snoozing on a student hand-me-down armchair and Yoda is....well...somewhere around here, probably getting into some kind of mischief.
A week ago I started a second job, back at University of Kentucky. It's only part time, and it's only through the summer. Essentially I play mail clerk and get slides for the pathology department. It's pretty boring, actually, and the commute is pretty wretched, and I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it, but the ladies I work with are quite pleasant, so that helps. I have applied for a position in the biology department there and my application has gone on to the hiring officials, so we will see about that; I'd basically be helping to run UK's biology labs, and it would be full time and NOT temporary. We shall see. Just praying that God will show me where to go and what to do.
I still work Old Navy, but on the weekends now. Even though my UK job is only 3 hours a day, it's a TON of driving in Lexington, and my poor car just doesn't get the gas mileage it used to. I'm coming up on six months at Old Navy. Considering earlier posts I ranted and raved about quitting...well, it's just amazing what can happen and how God can use you. I really love working there. I've become friends with some pretty awesome people there too.
Life is pretty good, peeps. Pretty darn good. :)
Kelly: I've been out of college for almost four weeks now...WOW!!! That is crazy for me, and it still hits me at random at times. Like...whoa, I'm not a college kid anymore. But I've got some great news to share as well! Earlier this month, I scheduled to take the boards (NCLEX). I currently hold a provisional RN license, which means that I can still work, but I have to be supervised by an RN or ARNP until I pass the boards and become an RN. Well, I took the boards yesterday! It was intense and it took me over 2 and a half hours to answer 202 questions! I got my results this morning and I PASSED! I'm now a Registered Nurse, so maybe I'll just start signing my name Kelly Korb, RN, BSN! ^_^
BUT...I still don't have a job yet! :( There haven't been any new openings in a few places, so for now I'm on a standstill. I plan on making some phone calls today to some jobs I applied back in March, so we'll see! Several applications have been referred rather quickly, so that's good news! It's just a matter of time I suppose, but I'm looking and applying to at least one job every day. If not applying I look every day! I'm just praying that God will open something up for me. Maybe He just wanted me to pass the boards first. :)

Why is it bad to be good?
Kelly: This has been in numerous conversations between Holly and I. In today's society, now stop me if I'm wrong, it seems to me that the world we live in is very negative orientated. Now what do I mean by that? In my experiences, the stigma associated with being a "good" individual was often looked down upon. In school, one may have heard phrases such as "teacher's pet" or "goody two-shoes." The good behavior in a student was often mocked, while the bad behavior was praised and often overlooked. Bad behavior, such as being disruptive, turning in work late and picking on other students. I, along with sis, was one of the "good" kids. I did my work, turned it in on time, participated when needed and was respectful of the teachers I had. This sometimes resulted in me being the butt of jokes; this also happened in band as well. There was one person in particular who gave Holly and I hell...for no apparent reason. We never did anything to provoke or wrong this person, but that was just the way it was.
I don't know what happened to this person, and I have put behind what has happened and forgiven this person in my heart. But something I will never understand is the fact that everyone seemed to look the other way. Why did nobody stand up for us? Why didn't I stand up for myself? It's not like I was expecting anything like that, but I do wonder sometimes. In today's media, bad behavior is always being reported, and it's often. OJ gets away with murder again, Casey Anthony walks free, and Kim Kardashian is at it again spending millions of dollars to rid herself of a 72-day matrimony. Yet the world we live in EATS THIS UP and young ones, especially girls, look up to people like that and say "I want to be like her!" It absolutely breaks my heart to raise my younger generation in this type of society. So what do we do? I don't know. I don't have a solution. My behavior will not change, that's for sure.
Holly: I'll be honest, because I don't like bragging on myself, but I was pretty much the model child growing up. I did what my parents told me (with the occasional typical grumbling and eye-rolling, of course), I worked hard in school and did well, I always did my homework, I hardly ever went out, I didn't drink, smoke, or party. I'm pretty sure the whole "teenage rebellion" never happened to me. I never gave in to peer pressure, but I'm not saying I was ever tempted. Oh, and listen up y'all, if you've ever heard of peer pressure going away after high school, it's a load of crap. I think it actually gets worse. In high school I was relentlessly called "the smart one", the overachiever, the goody-goody, you name it, I was probably called it. God forbid we ever did the right thing; it was utterly savage.
And to this day it still doesn't stop. I totally killed a work conversation by saying I don't party, and that, no, I didn't get completely hammered on my 21st. It was like I had just admitted to murder. I DREAD conversations like those, because as soon as I open my mouth, even though words are hardly ever spoken, I know I'm getting judged. I hate that. Why does it have to be like that? By my peers I've never been told "hey, good for you and the choices you make". Or don't make, in many instances. I'm the complete and polar opposite of what a 20-something is supposed to be in society: the social butterfly, always going out, hooking up, drinking. Now listen here: I love going out. I enjoy a drink every now and then. I love being social. But you can have fun without drinking, without acting wild and crazy, without threatening your reputation.
I've never been one to follow the crowd. Never have. And I don't intend upon changing anytime soon.

30 Days of Writing; Something you're excited for.
Holly and Kelly: ALEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In case you're wondering what that means, ALEP stands for A Long Expected Party. We first heard about it from someone at church who is also a huge Ringer (bigger than us) and had a part in helping us board the LOTR bandwagon. It takes place in Harrodsburg, which lucky for us is only about an hour away from here! Though we will have to continue to wait and anticipate what joy and fun shall surely come; ALEP is not happening until next September. However we have already put our names in and are working towards paying our dues, and it's a weekend long event but due to time and $$$ we're only going for one day. If you are interested in what goes on at ALEP, I've put the website below if you want to find out more about it! We are so freaking excited and can't wait!!! (There's also a Facebook page!)
A Long Expected Party: The Road Goes Ever On
Thus concludes our 30-day writing challenge. We enjoyed it and hope you all had fun watching us partake in the writing challenges! We will resume regular blog content shortly!

30 Days of Writing: 5 weird things you like
Kelly: These may not be weird things, but they might be things that you all don't like. But I do! :D
1. Pickles. ANY kind. I love them ALL!!! It's sort of unnatural.
2. A clean kitchen. Seriously. I don't even go to bed until the kitchen is clean.
3. Porches. I get massive porch envy when I go to people's houses. The big wrap-around ones are my favorite! That's the kind I want when I eventually get my own house. We have a wee porch at our place but no furniture (may all checks payable to H and K Porch furniture fund)
4. Sushi. Yes the California Rolls and goodies you get at the grocery store but also the REAL stuff! As in raw fish and everything (Koto in Richmond has it). Don't knock it until you try it; it's actually really good!
5. Vanilla. I love the smell!!!!!!!! It's my favorite. And I like vanilla cake over chocolate, which is unusual because I am a chocolate fiend!
Holly: Don't even ask me to explain some of these. I just can't. :P
1. Clean clothes. I love folding clothes because I love how they smell and feel. I mean, who doesn't love going to bed in a flowery field?
2. The smell of gas. Don't ask why.
3. Having songs on my iPod versus entire albums. I have 350ish songs on my iPod. None of them are entire albums. Most of the time when I buy a CD or something there's always a few songs that don't really roll with me like the rest. If you don't like the song, why put it on your iPod?
4. Accents. Mostly European ones. See basically any movie with a British or Irish dude and you'll see why.
5. Reese Cups. This is weird because I can't stand peanut butter.

30 Days of Writing: Somewhere you'd like to move or visit
Holly: If I am 30 and still single I am moving to London/somewhere in England outside of London. Nuff said. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Definitely want to visit Finland; our ancestors are from there and it look so beautiful there. Ireland too. New Zealand and take the LOTR tour. Plus...it's New Zealand!! Hello! :D
Within the US I'd love to see the west coast: Seattle, Oregon (visit Brandi!!), some of California, maybe up into British Columbia. I've been to more than half of the states, but the farthest west I've gone is New Mexico, and there ain't a whole lot out there. I've also been to two nations capitals, none of which are my own, so D.C. is definitely a must as well.
Kelly: One place I would like to visit is Finland. My mom's been there and a few of my distant relatives have been there. It's where the majority of my mom's side of the family came from; my great-grandparents (my Grandpa's parents) were from there. My mom visited when she was in college but was only there for one day. There's so much about my heritage that I want to know about that's all over there. In my house at home my Grandpa's baptismal certificate...in Finnish. He did know a bit of Finnish, and maybe someday I would like to learn the language! I do have some extended family over there still, though I don't remember which part they live in.
2nd place I'd like to visit: IRELAND. Granted I always want to go back and visit Scotland, but Ireland is somewhere I'd like to venture. Sis and I are planning a 2015 return Europe trip and we're hoping to take a day or two to visit some of the bigger cities, such as Dublin and Belfast (we're open to other suggestions too). And Scotland. If I'm 30 and still single I swear to goodness I'm moving back there!

30 Days of Writing: A quote you try to live by
Kelly: "Practice gratitude and joy. Love with your whole heart, even if there is no guarantee."
To be honest, I don't even know where I saw this quote for the first time. I think it was somewhere at one of my many clinical sites. Even though it is pertinent to my future career, I think that it applies to anywhere in life. It's something I try to do, even if I'm not having the greatest day, but I used this quote actually today. Sis and I were eating lunch at Subway and a lady on a scooter was trying to get into the door but was having a hard time opening it. Without hesitating I got up from my seat and opened the door so she could get in. There were two guys who were closer to the door that didn't even move. It's not hard, people. It's about being aware. There are those who are less fortunate than us right at our doorstep.
Holly: "But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."
This quote from Lord of the Rings has impacted me strongly, and it hits me differently every time I watch the movie. The second time I watched the movies a lot of my loved ones were going through some rough times, and the words "even darkness must pass" just sort of became my mantra. It still is, kind of. I find myself saying it often when bad times come our way. I try to live by it because it helps me to remember that we all are going through darkness, but it does pass and we do move forward and learn from it and become stronger from it. And guess what? Things have gotten better for me, and things are getting better for my loved ones.

30 Days of Writing: Things you like and dislike about yourself
Holly: Dislikes:
~my incessant need to fit in. This usually means butting into other people's conversations. I'm 23, for crying out loud. Sometimes it's ok to just be by yourself.
~my tendency to blurt out whatever I'm saying instead of thinking things through
~my sometimes-impulsive spending
~crying out in desperation to God only when things go wrong or when I really want something, instead of daily conversations with Him when things are BOTH good and bad
~my need to fill in awkward silences. Silence is ok sometimes.
~my road rage
~I don't read enough. Period. I need to, and I'm working on it.
~trying to "fix" things whenever my friends or someone I love is upset or hurting or otherwise in some sort of trouble. Just listening is usually all they need.
~unrealistic happiness...that is, not recognizing that sometimes I can be sad, or pissed off. I am terrible at showing my emotions.
Likes:
~I'm always on time or early
~I generally have a good disposition and outlook on life. I'm bubbly by nature and like being happy
~I love to laugh and do it often
~my relationship with God. Yeah, it's been up and down a lot, but a lot of things in my life have threatened my faith and I think I've come out stronger because of it
~my motivation and determination. It's rare that I give up.
~my modesty. I hate being the center of attention.
~my love for people. I love people so much it hurts sometimes.
~(I think??) I'm a good friend. I don't judge because I'm in no position to do so.
~I've almost always been happy with the way I look, never really gave in to peer pressure or any of that. I was the model child and teenager, never did the whole rebellion thing. I was a good kid. I still am. I'd much rather stay in than go out.
Kelly:
Dislikes:
~When I'm not confident in something, I act silly and stupid.
~I've developed the habit of stress eating. Not good, boo boo. Not good.
~I often avoid conflict as much as I can. I hate getting involved in confrontations if I know they're going to get ugly. Working on this, as in my future career I may have this happen to me...
~I ugly cry. For real.
~I get really REALLY hard on myself when I make a mistake.
Likes:
~I am probably one of the biggest people person ever! I love helping people when I can.
~I've managed to continue my healthy habits with continued improvement and overall healthiness! And the fact that they're so simple!
~That I'm a Christian and God loves me for me!
~I'm a very punctual person. I HATE being late! This is the girl talking who left an hour and 20 minutes before a job interview (good thing I did! 2 wrong turns and unfamiliar traffic took me an hour!)
~Along with being a people person I'm very compassionate. My heart breaks for those who are hurting and are less fortunate than me (this includes animals too).
~I'm very upfront with how I'm feeling. If I'm angry, I say so. If I'm sad, I say so. I don't like boxing up my emotions and trying to cover them up. Some people are very comfortable with doing that. I'm not one of those people.
~My music/movie interests are sooooooooooooo varied! I have everything on my iPod from CCM to Queen to Instrumental. Movie wise? One day I'm interested in a sappy rom-com while the next day I'm screaming for some Iron Man or Batman Begins. You should see my DVD Collection.

30 Days of Writing: Something you're currently worrying about
Kelly: Sadly, I'm worrying about two things right now, and they're both quite simple.
1. Finding a job. Not just any job. I can find a job anywhere if I know where to look, rather a nursing job. I realize I'm only 9 days post-college, but to be honest I'm getting frustrated. I've applied to so many places, some in February and March and still haven't heard anything! I've had one interview and haven't heard anything from that one yet! I'm just hoping and praying I don't give up the nursing job search to the point where I'm just looking for anything just to pay the bills. I've worked too hard and too long for this degree; I just want a chance to use it.
2. Passing the boards. I've studied and studied and studied and studied and studied. But I still keep wondering what if that's not enough? I keep telling myself I'm sure I'll do fine, but there's that chance. There's always that chance that I won't pass the first time. Then what? Wait 45 days later and take it again? I don't know. I just don't want to let Berea down; the nursing program has worked hard to keep it where it is today. I've never been that great with standardized tests before, yet I have done quite well on my last three HESI's. I just wish I could stop WORRYING SO MUCH! Easier said than done, right? I really am trying to stay positive and keep the faith, but some days are easier than others. But for now, I will keep studying and I will hold a provisional nursing license, meaning someone has to babysit me until I pass. The good thing is it's good for 6 months. Ya'll, please pray for me; I'm doing the best I can but sometimes I just get really frustrated.
Holly: My debts. Granted, I don't owe that much student loan debt compared to the majority of college grads, but still...it's enough to make my skin crawl sometimes. I do have a job, and I'm grateful, but currently my loans are on deferment for about 2 more months, and then I have to start paying them back again. With my current job I don't know how that will work. I don't make all that much, and God only knows how much interest has built up since then. I don't know...not really sure what to do at this point. I suppose pray that something else will come up, but until then, just keep working and saving.

I keep telling myself I'm sure I'll do fine, but there's that chance. There's always that chance that I won't pass the first time. Then what? Wait 45 days later and take it again? I don't know. I just don't want to let Berea down; the nursing program has worked hard to keep it where it is today. I've never been that great with standardized tests before, yet I have done quite well on my last three HESI's. I just wish I could stop WORRYING SO MUCH! Easier said than done, right? I really am trying to stay positive and keep the faith, but some days are easier than others. But for now, I will keep studying and I will hold a provisional nursing license, meaning someone has to babysit me until I pass. The good thing is it's good for 6 months. Ya'll, please pray for me; I'm doing the best I can but sometimes I just get really frustrated.
Holly: My debts. Granted, I don't owe that much student loan debt compared to the majority of college grads, but still...it's enough to make my skin crawl sometimes. I do have a job, and I'm grateful, but currently my loans are on deferment for about 2 more months, and then I have to start paying them back again. With my current job I don't know how that will work. I don't make all that much, and God only knows how much interest has built up since then. I don't know...not really sure what to do at this point. I suppose pray that something else will come up, but until then, just keep working and saving.

30 Days of Writing: Five words or phrases that make you laugh
Kelly: 1. "Gimme..." My Grandpa used to say that whenever he wanted something. "Gimme that bread" or "Gimme some more of that" when we would eat dinner. Good times.
2. "TOUCHY!!!!" If you have to ask, you'll never know.
3. "Have you eaten? You look terrible." From my favorite Tim Hawkins sketch. Just YouTube it. You won't regret it.
4. "Poop-a-doop." One of the techs where I did my last semester of clinicals would say that. Cracked me up.
5. "I don't think they heard you in SCOTLAND!!!" Bill Engvall's sketch about Pads. Again. Definitely a looker; YouTube it.
Holly: 1. "If Jesus came last night, I missed him." I say this usually after sleeping REALLY well the night before; I have to be pretty much exhausted and not move at all or wake up at all during the night.
2. Whenever I go to work and this particular manager is there, I always ask her how she's doing, and we both go "Oh, you know, same old, same old." Every time.
3. The way my dad overemphasizes "oh. em. gee" always makes me laugh.
4. "This is why we can't have nice things!" I say this to ANYONE all the time, if the moment is right. It caught on so much that my former Berea labor supervisor/academic adviser wrote it on my graduation hat.
5. "I brake for Hobbits." I saw a picture of this on the internet; it's on a bumper sticker. I need it.

30 Days of Writing: Something you miss
Holly: Being a kid. That's why I act silly a lot. I love watching children: their innocence, their views on life, their lack of inhibitions. I love being silly in front of kids because I know they won't judge me. I miss not having to be responsible for me sometimes...sometimes I wish my mom and dad could go back to making all my decisions for me, taking care of me, etc. I especially love kids in church because their answer for everything is always an overly enthusiastic "JESUS!!!". We all learn something from kids. Kids always make me smile and laugh; I'm constantly entertained by them. I think the world would honestly be a better place sometimes if we just acted a little child-like every now and then.
Kelly: Raven. I miss her. Almost three years ago, she had to be put to sleep at 11 years old. She was in our lives starting at 8 years old. She came from a broken home; abused, malnourished and terrified of people. But little by little she gained our trust and won our hearts! I think about her a lot; not as often as I used to but I still do. I hope she's enjoying Jesus's company and playing with the other puppy dogs up there in Heaven. I remember growing up with her, and her being the quiet force of the house, a shoulder to lean on or cry on, or a pillow to lie on. I remember running around in the yard with her, throwing the ball and her barking with the ball in her mouth...that was the funniest thing I've ever seen a dog do! She was a good girl, and I bet if she were human she'd be a lot like us.

30 Days of Writing: Your academics
Holly: School has always been a big part of my life. Now that I think about it, I'm 23 and I spent 20ish years of my life in school. I was always motivated to do well in school...I rarely had a report card in elementary school with anything less than a B on it. Same in high school; I think I had 2 C's on my report cards in four years of high school (you can thank physics and statistics for that). High school holds a lot of fond memories: proms, Mock Trial, SEVEN YEARS of marching band, meeting my best friend, whom we are still friends with. College was...a struggle. I barely had to work in high school compared toBerea College; it was a whole new ballpark. It's a lot different getting an A at Berea College than it is anywhere else. I was struggling most semesters to just PASS my classes, let alone shooting for an A. But nevertheless, I graduated, and I am so proud of myself, even a year later. I made some of the most amazing friends there, formed close relationships with some of my professors, spent seven semesters in BME which changed my faith and my perspective on life in general, spent four weeks in England and learned so much more about the world, another culture, and myself (I WILL go back someday!!), found my wonderfully amazing church family...need I say more? Is more school in the cards for me? Maybe. I mean, there are so many options out there, and there are so many options that interest me. But it's too hard for me to devote myself to just one area of study. And to be honest, right now I don't think I'm disciplined enough. In fact, I know I'm not disciplined enough. I'm enjoying working and having time to myself and other areas, and not having to worry about school. And the fact of the matter is that school is always out there, and I am always learning, even without a textbook or a Microsoft Word document in front of me.
Kelly: I did my best in all of my schoolwork, even though I mostly struggled. I worked hard for the C's on my report cards/college transcripts! When I was in 2nd grade I was told I had a "learning problem." Not necessarily a disability, but I struggled more than the average student. Had a hard time focusing...thought maybe ADD/ADHD/nonsense, but turns out I was just waiting for Holly's direction. Struggled a LOT in test-taking, the standardized ones of course. Made a 16 on the ACT, yet still got into Berea. Graduated 9th in my high school class with a 3.8 GPA. Then I came to Berea and decided I wanted to do nursing; THAT in of itself was the biggest challenge. My GPA took a nose dive, and as a result did not allow me to practice nursing in one area; the University of Louisville. It hurt, but there are plenty of other fish in the sea. But I worked VERY HARD and am proud of my college roots. If it wasn't for Berea I would have never got to meet all my awesome friends, go to Scotland, or anything that I am proud of and was able to do! And now...I'm getting ready to pass the ultimate test; the boards (May 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I think my education at Berea has really prepared me for what is to come, and I will do my best to try and retain a fraction of what I learned in the almost 5 years I was there. I scored well on my HESI's in my capstone class (precursors to the boards; they were our finals in my nursing classes) so maybe I'm starting to get over my standardized testing phobias. We'll just have to see!

30 Days of Writing: How you hope your future will be like
Kelly: To be honest, I don't know. I mean, God holds my future in His hands, so I'm going to just let Him decide where He wants me to be and what He wants me to do! I hope that I will still be maintaining my healthy eating/walking habits and will hopefully someday have a place of my own to call home...not that I mind living with sis now! ^_^ I hope that I will be happy with someone eventually, I just don't know who he is yet and when I'll meet him or where I'll meet him. I hope to have a dog, yes. A dog is a must. Other than that, who knows? I just want to be working as a nurse, loving God, loving on some sick people and happy with my life. I'm not picky!
Holly: Still striving and continuing to live like Jesus! Being called "mommy" and "wife" (although I'm still YEARS away from that, trust me on this one). Doing work in my field that I enjoy doing (although I love my job right now), or working for my alma mater in some capacity. Adopting some critters from a shelter. Having my own place to call home (although my home can't get much better than this right now). Becoming more active in my church. Sticking with my healthy habits. Still keeping in touch with old friends (Skype is a wonderful thing). Traveling, hopefully overseas again. Reading. Definitely need to read more! :)

30 Days of Writing: Your Fears
Kelly: The kind of world/society generations younger than me will have to endure and go through.
Being stagnant in my relationship with God.
Finding a job, not liking it but staying with it to make money, end up miserable and "stuck" in such job.
The thought of Yoda/Wiley accidentally getting out and not coming back. :(
Holly: Stagnancy in general
That I won't find a job in my field
When I come to the end of my Earthly life, that even though I did my best, that God will be disappointed in me
The kind of world/society my kids/grandkids will have to see
The kind of world/society that we already see
People being disappointed in me
Being stranded in downtown Lexington (don't judge me on this one...have you been to downtown Lexington??)

30 Days of Writing: Five items you lust after
Kelly: I'm not going to "lust" after anything, because it's not a good thing to do. However, there are things that do catch my eye and tickle my fancy/things that I do want in the near future, so let's go with that!
1. Map of Middle Earth. They ARE at Walmart, but they were out when I was last there.
2. Dogs. Sis and I want one, but with the two cats and an apartment it makes it a bit difficult. Maybe someday soon.
3. Samsung Galaxy. New phone. Don't get me wrong; there's absolutely nothing wrong with my phone, but me thinks I'm ready for a more grown-up phone. I've asked around and this make seems to be good. Plus I've been using Samsung phones for years now and have loved every single one!
4. A new pair of comfy working shoes, which leads into...
5. A job. Please? But good things come to those who wait.
Holly: I don't like to fuss over material things. But I do have some things in my future big-girl list.
1. A KitchenAid stand mixer. OHMIGAWB.
2. A Mazda 3. Have wanted one since high school. They're so cute, and not terribly shabby on gas mileage either.
3. I don't really lust after this, but eventually I would like a tattoo of "Even darkness must pass" on my shoulder. It's become sort of my daily phrase and it holds a great deal of personal significance to me.
4. A new pair of Teva flip flops. They're not expensive, and SO comfortable. Just waiting for the right time, I suppose.
5. A smartphone. Any one, really...at this point, since I'm out and about so much, it would just be nice to have. For the time being, my dumb phone does the trick just fine. :)

30 Days of Writing: A problem you have had
Holly: It's one I'm still working on, and probably always will, but impulsive spending. I can't pass up a good deal, like many red-blooded Americans, and I LOVE shopping. I have gotten a lot better at controlling myself and saying no, but sometimes I can get a little carried away. I know back when I was a freshman at Berea, before I went on direct deposit, my paychecks went right into my pocket and were gone in less than 2 weeks.
They say money is the root of all evil. I disagree. Money is a fundamental necessity, and it is useful when used wisely, and as long as you are bringing in more than you are taking out. However, people abuse money, and that's when it becomes evil. I also think the LOVE of money is evil: that is, trying to aspire wealth, things, possessions, instead of intangible things. I know I've done my fair share of money abusing and money-loving. Something I'm trying to work on is whenever I bring home something new, I try to take something out so that there's some kind of a balance. Something I also do is sometimes when I go out I leave my debit card at home on purpose so I'm not tempted. ALWAYS set a budget. Like I said, I'm getting better, but I know I still have a long way to go.

Like I said, I'm getting better, but I know I still have a long way to go.
Kelly: As you all know, I am a very bubbly person by nature. However, sometimes my bubbly nature gets a bit too out of hand...this happened a lot when I was in clinicals while in nursing school. There were several occasions in which I was gently reminded to "tone it down." Not that my personality is a bad thing, but in the past there have been some that interpret being too "silly" as not being confident or not knowing what you're doing. I can understand that. Sometimes...it's also not very professional, let's be honest.
Now I don't want anyone attacking my educators with pitchforks saying "YOU'RE MAKING PEOPLE CHANGE THE WAY THEY ARE!" No. That's not the case at all. The issue was that in my world there has to be a balance between being professional and acting like a goober...which I do 99.9% of the time when the situation is right, of course. Also, in the profession I'm in (mental health) being too friendly can sometimes be threatening to patients. So yes, it is something I'm working on, but in the meantime I'll keep on keeping on. :)

30 Days of Writing: Something you're proud of
Kelly: In light of recent events, today's topic is highly appropriate. There are a lot of things that I am proud of, but what I'm going to talk about today is simple; my college degree.
To obtain a college degree is an excellent achievement, of course. However, obtaining a Berea College degree in my opinion is much more...different, for lack of a better word. I was blessed to have worked with wonderful educators who helped me get this degree. Some I knew for quite a while, some I only had one semester. Yeah...about that. One of the most influential professors I had I had my second to last semester, for just one class (you know who you are...). Others I had for the majority of my time here and were just THERE. If I needed them, they were in their office; I didn't have to channel jump through a plethora of graduate students just to find them! That's why Berea is what it is! Thank you God and for everyone He put in my life to get me through! ^_^
Holly: I'm proud of two things, really: first, and obvious, is my degree from Berea. I know, I know, that's what EVERYONE says. But seriously, I don't think many people realize just how big of a deal it is graduating from college, much less Berea College. I put a lot of work into it, I have a lot of fond memories attached to Berea, I've formed some lifelong relationships as a result of my education there, I've become a more educated and well-rounded individual and young woman, and my faith in God strengthened and was pushed and challenged as well (which, trust me, is NOT a bad thing).
The second thing I'm proud of is that, for the most part, I have succeeded in living on my own and holding my own. Yeah, there's been some scary moments, there's been some moments in which we weren't sure how we were going to pay next month's rent, there's been a lot of phone calls to Mom and Dad, there's been A LOT of penny-pinching (there still is), but when I look back I am proud of where we were and how far we've come. I've also learned, in these days of apartment-dwelling and semi-tight budgeting to become dependent on God. Completely dependent!!! He's brought us through and I know He will continue to do so! :)

The last of the Korb twin dynasty has walked across the stage. A pretty special (and chilly and wet) day! :)

30 Days of Writing: Something you always wonder "What if?"
Kelly: What if I don't find a job/don't like a job/become desperate and just take a job?
This has been a lingering worry of mine. Granted, I'm very open minded, and the field of nursing is opening SO MANY doors for me. I just hope that since I graduate tomorrow (!!!!!) that I don't just run to the first job I get offered simply because I'm desperate...eeek. But, I do graduate tomorrow, and I still do not have a job lined up, so I don't know. Maybe I will have to take the first job I get. I was watching the news last night and the unemployment rate is the lowest its been since December of 2008, so that definitely gives me hope. But yeah...not working. I suppose for now I will do my best to enjoy this time of not working, keep looking, keep praying and hoping that God will put me where He wants me to go!
Holly: What if God calls me to leave Berea and start over again?
I am aware that this is a possibility and that could happen. But right now, I'm so happy here. Kelly and I just moved to an awesome new apartment, I have an amazing church family that I would be utterly devastated to leave, I have a job that I really enjoy, and all our friends and support network are here. Berea is less than a day's drive to our parents, everything is easy to get to and not far from...well, anything, really; I mean, 10 minutes away is Richmond, and 20 more minutes and you're getting into Lexington. I honestly wouldn't even mind living in Lexington someday.
I don't know...it's funny, really, if you told me 5 years ago I'd end up living in somewhere like Berea, I'd laugh in your face. Now I can't imagine being anywhere else. I guess we'll see where God leads me, but for now, I know I'm supposed to be here. :)

30 Days of Writing: Your Zodiac
Holly and Kelly: WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After many, many exasperated phone calls to Time Warner Cable, techs ending up in the wrong places, and having to use our dumb phones to browse the internet (seriously time for an upgrade soon), we are back in the realms of the internet. Thank you all so much for your patience and cooperation! :) Now, on to the fun stuff:
We are Aries! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It's from March 21 to April 19, so we're pretty much right in the middle.
Some strengths of Aries are: independent, generous, optimistic, enthusiastic, and courageous. Ok...optimistic, enthusiastic, generous, independent, do you KNOW us? :) Suffice to say that suits us quite well.
Some weaknesses: moody, short-tempered, self-involved, impulsive, and impatient. Can be moody and short-tempered, just depends on the situation. Most of the time we're pretty chill, though. Impulsive, yes, especially when it comes to shopping (we're working on that!!). Impatient...OH YES!
Aries are also go-getters and leaders. Go-getters, yes. We are not ones to sit idly and watch the world go by. Leaders.............eh, again, depends. Definitely in school whenever we had a group project or something, one of us would usually end up picking up the slack and sort of taking charge.
Read something that "Aries play as hard as they work." Trust us on this one. We love having fun. And not the typical "fun" you see in today's society. :)
What does your sign say about you?
