What I Loved Wednesday...Zach Rance!

Hello All,

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week is going fantastic to say the least! I want to start by thanking all of you for sticking with me while I go on a smallish blogging break to focus on school more. But I promised I would write when I had ideas and time. And as I'm writing this on Friday I do have any idea and I do have some time to devote to my bloggy who I have missed dearly. So, let's bring back the original feature here on the bloggy and do a...

The Unauthorized Saved By Bell Story

Hello All,

When you were growing up did you have your go to show or channel to watch when you were home sick from school? Well I did, it was TBS, it had re runs of Friends, Everyone Loves Raymond and whole bunch of other '90s shows but favorite was always Saved by the Bell.

Source

For those of you who didn't watch old sitcom and aren't an 80's 90's teen the show follows six friends as they navigate their way through high school. These friends include Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselar NYPD Blue, Franklin & Bash), Screech (Dustin Diamond, author), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies Fire & Ice, How to be a Player), Kelly (Tiffiani (Amber) Thiessen Beverly Hills 90210, While Collar) and Jessie (Elizabeth Berkley Show Girls). The show dealt with comedic story lines and hard hitting story lines like when Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills.

Although the sets were simple and the stories could get corny I loved the show and would watch it every time I was sick. I knew it wasn't the best of the best when it came to shows but I would watch every chance I would get and that is true to this day. If I was flipping through the channels and saw it now I would watch in heart beat.

So, last night when Grace and I were flipping through the channel we hit Lifetime that was playing there made for TV movie, The Unauthorized Saved By the Bell story. And I knew I had to watch it! This movie was made with only the help of Dustin Diamond and based on a tell all book written by Diamond called Behind the Bell.

Although I had heard about the book and all the crazy things Diamond said happened behind the scene I felt this movie went with the tamer side of things, that is if its anything the reviews I've heard of Behind the Bell. 

The movie starts out with a young Dustin Diamond (Sam Kindseth) audition for the part of Screech on Good Morning Miss Bliss, which originally aired on Disney Channel. This series last barely a season and was the first time the show would be cancelled. Dustin along with Mark-Paul (Dylan Everett, Degrassi) and Lark (Taylor Russell) were the only Saved by the Bell cast members on this show.

The show then got a new life when it was moved to NBC to go along with the Saturday morning cartoon line up. Which is when they brought in the other big names Mario Lopez (Juilian Works), Elizabeth Berkley (Tiera Skovbye) and Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Alyssa Lynch). The movie then followed them through the 4 years series run from the "first day" when Dustin realized that he would never really be friends Mark-Paul who had matured since their time on Good Morning Miss Bliss through Graduation Day.

Although we got glimpse into Paul-Mark, Mario, Elizabeth, Lark and Tiffani Amber's life on and off set. We saw mainly the trials that Dustin went through. From experiment with Pot and vodak, from being used for his position in Hollywood.

Source

Although this is probably true of every TV show we saw how out of real life situation were put into the story lines of  show. From Mario and Elizabeth's flirtmance to the love triangle between Mark Paul, Lark and Tiffani Amber (#TeamZally Zach & Kelly's ship name?). Most of all the fact that Dustin didn't quite fit in with the rest much like Screech in the show.

When I started to watch movie I was slightly worried that seeing the behind the scenes would ruin the love I have for these characters but it didn't. I still love the show and now knowing that not everything was perfect behind the scene didn't change anything. 

Were you a Saved By the Bell fan? Did you watch the movie? Did it change anything for you? Let me know!

The First Few Days

Hello All,

Happy Friday! I have Wifi! Its all the end of my first 7 days of school. The first week went pretty well and now I'm going to tell you about it!

Thursday:

My first day of school was on Thursday and was a good day. It started somewhat early because my first class started at 9:35 AM. My first class was actually School Heath 203 and it just one of the general school requirements. Everything I heard was that it would be any easy A class and it doesn't seem really hard. The teacher seems nice and that's good. My second class was Media Studies 245 which is one of my major classes! I feel like this teacher is going to be one of my favorites this semester. She's super nice and sweet. A lot of kids from my last semester MDS class were in and well as my bestie Mandi. After class I went to lunch with Mandi and then hung out in my dorm until I had to go to work.

Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday

I don't have classes on Friday! And Monday was Labor Day so I had a 4 day weekend! For the whole weekend I worked which was good because my hours get cut for the semester. I also went out to dinner with Mama J and we got some last minute things for the suite. Thanks Mama J.

Tuesday:

The classes were a repeat of Thursdays. After class I went to Mandi and Hannah's apartment for a while and then Mandi and I went shopping. And I spend the evening hanging out with 2 of my roomies.

Wednesday:

Started WAY too early because I had a 8:10 class. Normally this class will be 2 and half hours because it is a studio art class and they give a lot of time to work on our project. The teacher seems so nice and I'm kind of excited to see if I have any potential of being good at art. Most days I have like 5 hour break but hopefully I'll find a club that meets during that time. At 3:25 I have my creative writing class which is going to kill me with the amount of work (part of the reason I decided not to have a blogging schedule anymore) but hopefully it'll make my writing better.

The only school day that I didn't include is Monday. I have Art and and English on Monday just like Wednesday but I also have 2 and half hour film studies class that starts today! I haven't had it yet but I'm kind of excited because I LOVE movies and the class is suppose to be pretty good.

And that is the first few days of my new semester. I'm excited, feeling positive and ready to go! To all you starting a new semester I hope you have a good one! 

A Difficult Decision

Hello All,

I have been thinking long and hard about how I'm going to handle my bloggy this semester. Some of you might remember that last year my goal was to keep up with the bloggy all year and stay on my schedule and it was A LOT of work! 

Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it, not in the least but I'm not sure that is something I can do this year. I'm not saying that I'm going to stop blogging, I could NEVER do that. But I know that this semester is going to be a lot of writing and a lot of work. Plus, I'm a lifestyle blogger, I need to be able to live life in order to write a lifestyle blog. I don't want to stress myself out more by worrying about getting post up on certain days. 

With all that being said I have officially decided that The World According to Emma will no longer run a schedule! I went back and forth and thought about reducing the number of days that I blog but I don't want to make promises I can't keep. I also don't want to put out half assed pieces, I'd rather take my time and put out good quality ones.

I am a list maker and planner and I love schedules. So, I am going to set a goal to get you at least one post in a week. If it doesn't happen I'm not going to beat myself up about it. But if I can get more out in a week I will and they will *Fingers Crossed*** be AWESOME posts!

Thanks for understanding and I hope you will continue to follow me along on this crazy journey called life! 

Move-In Day 2014 & New Hair {VLOG}

Hello All,

Please forgive me for the lack of pictures in this post, move-in day got completely away from me. 

But first I wanted to share with you guys the fact that the day before I moved into school I dyed my hair for the first time. Although in some light you can't completely tell its redder but I love it!

Okay, so I woke up at like 7:45 the day of move-in which was last Wednesday. I loaded up my last couple of loads into the car and took a selfie!

I had a couple of errands to run before I moved in and they went relatively smoothly. After that I picked up Natalie who graciously offered to help me move in. Thanks again girly! And event though we don't have any pictures together I swear we know each other in real life.

We got everything up to my room in only a couple of trips and we did a couple of quick errands around campus and then we organized all my stuff and bonded with my new roomies. I'm living with my old neighbors for last year, Grace and Megan as well as a new roommate who we just meet Morgan. Everyone seems to be doing well!

After I dropped Natalie off I went out to dinner with Hannah and Mandi and again I didn't take any pictures. Ooops. 

So, that was move in day. I'm sorry if this was a really boring post! But you can watch a VLOG of the two days I talked about in this post because I vlogged some of it and I actually really like this VLOG.

Instagram Monthly Top 5! As a Life Update

Hello All,

I feel like I have been sort of MIA from this bloggy the past few week because life as been cray to the cray. Normally around this time I do a Instagram Monthly Top 5 with the most like pictures on my instagram but since I got a new phone i don't have the majority of August's picture at easy access so I'm going to take the pictures I took and instagram and use it as a life update. Sound good or nah?

"Did I really join team iPhone if I didn't post a picture of the box to instagram? #teamiphone #newphone"

"Transformation Tuesday! Today I dyed my hair for the first time and I am absolutely in love with it!"

"All the pictures for my dorm wall this year with most of my favorite people. Some are missing because I don't have a pictures with them (cough Natalie cough cough)"

"New Haven bound for some errands and move in. Junior year here I come!"

"First day of junior year calls for a selfie!"

And that is my life right now. What's going on with you? 

New Years Resolutions Check-In {September 2014 Edition}

Hello All,

It's September, say what? Yeah, I know where in the world has this year gone. I hope you all had a fantastic Labor Day and relaxed if you could! I mean it's a four day week, who doesn't like a four day week?!?!

Well since its the beginning of September I need to update y'all on my New Years Resolutions so let's get started!

So, here's the key to dictate who there going.

Haven't even been attempted

In Progress

Completed

Also, if you want to check out the goals themselves or the first to months you can by clicking here, here and/or here. So, let's begin....

1. Start Exercising and Eating Healthier.

Can we just not talk about this one?

2. Either Cross something off my bucket list or start planning to (i.e. trips)

Pretty much in the same place I was in June, I just looked at the list and saw somethings that might help me cross this off by the end of the year but I don't think it will. You never know right?

3. Start Dealing with the aftermath of my big decision

I'm pretty sure everyone who knew I was ever an education major now knows that I'm not anymore. I also think I've answered the question so what are you going to do with your life now? about 10 bajillion times and the answer is ALWAYS the same which is I don't know. Can't I just watch netflix forever?

Spongebob knows what's up?

4. Finish four of my 180 blankets to donate

I worked on some this summer but it was just to damn hot to have a blanket laying on my legs during the summer. Hopefully I can get this one done soon.

5. Read 7 Books that aren't for school.

I only have 2 more to read before the year's over! I can do, I just need to figure out which ones and find the time to it.

6. Become More Organized.

I actually think this one is going to happen guys! I found a system and I'm hoping it'll work! Cross your fingers!

And that is how I'm doing. How are you guys doing sticking to your new years resolutions or goals? Also I'm thinking about during this feature into a link-up next year but I would need some co-hosts, I have tons of ideas and would love to hear others if you have any email me {emmatheblogger@aol.com} to talk about it.
