Introducing...Morbid Mondays!


You know how a gazillion bloggers host a “Wordless Wednesday” every week? Yeah. I’m not really into that. Instead, I’ve decided to host a Morbid Monday every.single.week. Start your week off right with some disturbing, effed up, true story reading!

Obviously this won’t be for everyone. I understand that. Though if you’re a fan of non-fiction books based on true crime, watch based on true horror stories, watch documentaries on the lives of serial killers, or have studied psychology or sociology (or all of the above *raises hand) you may have some interest.

Is morbid curiosity a bad thing? Absolutely not. When someone acts out of the norm, we want to understand why. Each week I will try gathering 3 real life morbid stories for you. I’ll provide a few links so that you can read more about the person/situation. If you have any suggestions for Morbid Monday stories, leave me a comment or drop me an email.

(MY LIFE) I'm Heading Back to School in July, and I CAN'T Wait!


So in July, I'm taking an online class at Niagara College. I will be taking Introduction to Sociology. It was my boyfriend's idea to take a class, and his gift to me. What an amazing gift and an amazing boyfriend! I chose sociology because it sounds really interesting. I had taken psychology as a general elective at Humber College before, and sociology seems to be similar.

so·ci·ol·o·gy/ˌsōsēˈäləjē/Noun1. The study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society.

I went to Humber College a couple years back and received my Business Management Diploma (with honors). I LOVE school... actually, I LOVE LEARNING. I am a bit of a nerd I suppose, but there is something about knowledge and understanding things/life/people/etc. that is so powerful and interesting to me. It's also really going to help me get back on a schedule (I have a hard time waking up at a "normal" time, same with falling asleep). Many people would think this would give me more anxiety, but actually, this is going to help it. I feel so good opening up a text book and learning new things, applying them in real life, and using creative thinking to work on assignments. 

Wow; this really illustrates how nerdy I truly am, but I wouldn't want it any other way!
