Have you tried turning it OFF & ON?

Ever had something not working and you call for help & the first thing they say is "have you tried turning it on or off" & you just flip out because you think they think you're stupid and it's such an obvious thing to do..

Well long story short, my sister's macbook was heating up & then it basically sounded like something was about to blow up & since then, her laptop shut down & didn't turn on or even flash anything. It didn't even charge. She tried to turn it off & on for about 2 days & nothing worked. (Fixing a burnt out battery is $100 at apple).. anyways, for the entire 1 month winter break she couldn't use her laptop.  She left it sitting in her room & just stared at it with anger. After the break she obviously need the laptop working for school so she took it to apple with $100 ready to fix it. Right away the tech guy asked "have you tried turning it on" & she flipped out saying "obviously i did.. blah blah blah" & guess what? With a single push of a button her laptop turned on & was working perfectly.

Apple laptops have this defence mechanism where it shuts down the system for 2 days whenever something is happening that threatens the battery or any internal system. After 2 days all you have to do is simply turn it on.

Moral of the story?.. did you really turn it off & on? Oh & apple is DA BOMB. 

A List Of My Top 10 New Year Resolution/Hopes

So I thought about it for a while & I've come up with a list of 10 things I'd like to accomplish this new year. To start off with, I'd like to make sure everyone understand that these are PLANS & I will try to succeed with going through with them but they're not guaranteed. Just being realistic here lol.

1. Save $1000 before April. 

- I'll be honest here, I may have a spending problem. This might be easy for people but save a grand will be a huge accomplishment for me. Especially the fact that I'll be working once a week from Jan-April. 

2. Lose 15 pounds.

- YA YA I know I know... Typical new year plan but seriously it's different this time. I've got money on the line with this one. Who ever loses the most amount of weight wins & you know me, I love a good competition. 

3. Maintain a 3.0 CGPA. 

- Fuck you finance... seriously... My marks from last semester ranged between A & Bs until finance decided to kill my vibe. In light of the new year, I'll take it as a challenge & maintain my 3.0 CGPA even if I have finance 401 this coming semester.

4. Get my G2

- Unfortunately, i've been running around with my G1 like i'm the shit but seriously.. I need my G2 asap! Everyone is getting annoyed that I don't have my G2 & i've been stalling for almost 2 years now so I think it's time. This year, I plan on getting my G2 as soon as I get the time to. In fact, I'll make time for it. Let's make this happen! 

5. Get a paid business job.

- Seriously, Tim Hortons was just a summer job until I realized I had no time for a business job & Timmies was very flexible with my changing schedule. I currently have an unpaid job as a marketing associate at Ryerson Commerce and Arts Association so I'll use skills learnt from that job & aim to work at an office.

6. Travel outside of the country with my boyfriend. 

- yes I know.. Super cheesy but seriously I'm really looking into that. It'll be a nice experience for both of us.... especially the fact that I've never traveled outside of the country. Aiming for London, England.

7. Successfully obtain a position as VP Marketing at RCAA.

- I know I'm just an associate now but seriously people, I've got the passion, work ethics & strive to be a VP. I love RCAA (Ryerson Commerce & Arts Association) with a passion & it's motif towards Ryerson students & it'll suck to end my contract & not pursue something bigger with the group. 

8. Eat less McDonald's 

- Soooooo how many other people just loveeeeee McDonald's & it's fries & Jr. Chicken & yum yum yum. Unfortunately, as a downtown student.. It's basically my go-to lunch which sucks. As you see, I said "Eat Less" not completely eliminate cause I love me some yummy yummy fries.

9. Sing more (YouTube)

- As some people don't know.. I love to sing! I've been singing for abouttttt 6 years now & recently (2014) I've taken a sligh break from it. I've gotten too busy to sing & I barely & almost never perform. Now I have like 2 songs/year on SoundCloud & barely look into YouTube videos. It's sad because a couple years ago I was performing shows & getting a thousand + hits on YouTube. Singing really is my passion & I'll try & do more of it this year. 

10. Stop stressing the small stuff 

- My family knows, my boyfriend knows.. Everyone knows.. I'm a stressed. I'm the kind to stay up until 4am over thinking things or to submit assignment that's perfect but still look at it as a draft. I stress so much the stress pimples on my face are starting to be permanent. This year, I will try my best to stress less. Hello bubble bath & what's up 9hrs of sleep!

New Year New Me ...... (NOTT!)

10, 9, 8, 7, 6... 5... 4.. 3 .. 2 .. 1 ... HAPPY NEW YEARRRRR! WOW.. 2014 flewwww by faster than I thought. What can I say.. I had a GREAT year and a even GREATER start of 2015. (Longgg story)
"This New Year equals a new me"! ... 

well, that's what everyone will be saying as this year starts but seriously it's a bunch of BULLSHIT. I'm still the same me from year 2000 until now. Seriously people.. the year does not change you. Let's just be honest here and come to a conclusion that you'll still be that same person you were the year before. Why change who you are because really you cant. When I say (new me) I mean maybe a new hair cut, a new job, new friends, new car, new closet.. so many things can be new but not because of the New Year but because of natural changes in life. Now back to my point... the fact that one is growing as a person does NOT mean the person has changed. I haven't changed, in fact.. I still love the taste of baby food (just kidding.. maybe a little). Seriously people, don't pull off a act this new year. Do not change your personality because it's a new year. You are who you are and you have to accept it. There is a HUGE difference between your personality and your attitude. Change your negative attitude this New Year and not who you really are which is basically your personality. You're all perfect the way you are and maybe even a couple hair cuts and new clothes later, you're still the same so really.. NEW YEAR, SAME ME. 


Until next time bitches,
- Janey

Orange is NOT the new Black..

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hey all hey all.. how do you do? I haven't posted in a while and I have a VERY good reason for that.. Basically what happened was...... *Insert long apology speech*

You might be thinking "what the hell does she mean orange is not the new black" and NO, this is in no way related to the show because I L O V E that show. Anyways, recently I was feeling very.. what's it called? .. BRAVE. I bought hair dye from like a local beauty store (Shoppers drug mart... cough cough..) & went right at it to dye my hair a "Wild Ombre" light brow color & guess what?.. yup.. you guess right! I messed up. Here is how the story goes.. I started freaking out, called like everyone saying I messed up my hair and it was just horrible & it only dyed in specific places so my hair looked liked a spotted cat.

Back to the story.. I started crying (yes.. I cried) and went back to shoppers & bought another hair dye... this time, i was craziER & re-dyed my hair & guess what.. it came out a beautiful bright orange pumpkin color. IT IS HORRIBLE.. I cannot live with this. This time i decided to google every hair dresser located at Whitby, Ontario & wow would you look at that.. they're all closed on sundays which means.. bright and early on monday, the world will see my amazing bright frutish orange hair.

Here is what I look like now..

sigh... I didn't end up going to the salon & I shall embrace my oranginess. Only the bottom half of my hair is orange btw..  (attempt ombre effect) but I miss my all black hair. This is why Orange is NOT the new black.

First week of school (Ryerson University) oh & a bit about frosh.

It's funny really, my first week felt like my first month of school last year.. But seriously, I'm already jam packed with work to do! Ugh.. really ruining my non existing vibe. On the bright side, yay school started & I get to see my friends and actually spend my time doing something other than sitting my ass at home. I thought I'd go to school and be quiet and go to class blah blah but the minute I stepped foot back at TRSM I was a happy puppy. Oh ya.. frosh was A M A Z I N G. I was team "ORANGE" it's either I'm crazy but please... tell me.. WHAT THE HECK RHYMES WITH ORANGE!!??? It was soo much work trying to come up with a cheer. All the frosh leaders stayed at the Sheraton hotel for the week which is by far my favourite hotel ever!!! Where ever I am going to, I always try & book the sheraton hotel. Back on topic since I'm all around the place... Classes are good, sorta.. Finance is a total killer, it was the first day & all I could think about was my bed.. My GMS prof is funny & I'm hoping I do well in that class.. I haven't been to marketing yet and CMN sounds like i'll do well in.

Anyways, I really do not want to bore you guys with school work.. there is another post coming up but this is just to say HEYYY HOOOOO HEYYY HOOO to you beautiful people out there that think I died because of my lack of posting on this blog.. lol.

**I had like 50 cups of Iced Coffee in a week like wtf is wrong with me.

Check out one of my outfits for frosh! Neon all the way (thanks to my amazing roommates)

I think the whole Circus theme was pretty dope, too bad I literally had nothing that was Circusy so I had to go shopping a lot :(
The main thing was I had a lot of fun seeing all these crazy colours and I stayed sober most of the nights. I am aiming to be a frosh leader again next year, It was just soooo much fun I cannot wait to do it again. I lost my voice instantly and when I got back home after a week at the hotel, the sickness was reallll.









I think one of my favourite team.. after team orange of course.. was team gold!! They won the best spirit team because of how crazy they were! At it team gold, here is your sexy mascot with ORANGE pom poms

Oh ya did I mention for our cheer we threw oranges at the audience? .. It was pretty cool except the fact that after the whole presentations I was craving oranges and I had non left which sucked.. lol.










NOW FOR SOME PICTURES OF MY AMAZING WEEK... (BOAT CRUISE)


My amazing froshee & one of my fellow frosh leaders

Frosh Leader & I .. (the struggle when wearing dresses like these .. on a windy day!!! )

What do you know about a masquerade ball (RYERSON TURNS UP)








Okay okay.. enough of this! I shall stop this post right here haha! But I hope you got a feel of my week! Amazing amazing.. now back to reading (not)

Ripley's Aquarium Date Night!

I haven't blogged in a very very very very very long time I knowww !! You see, work and sleep has been such a "cock blog" when it comes to this blog. On the bright side, it's frosh sooooon. Anyways, let's talk fishessss, big fishes, sharks and all those creatures you see under water! My boyfriend took me to Ripley's Aquarium today (which is weird because it was HIS birthday.. Happy 20th baby!). I love how spontaneous he can be but he didn't even give me the chance to find a gift for him. Anyways, have you been there before? It is just so beautiful. I wish I brought my heavy duty 50000000lbs canon DSLR camera

but you see Iphone 5's are perfect for the job at times, I wasn't really thinking about it. Back to the fishes.. I was a bit worried when I walked in about my own safety.. a girl gotta think about that first! Last thing I want is to be on the news with the headline "Girl get's killed by shark at Ripley's Aquarium". Of course my boyfriend was more of the dear devil who just wanted to hop in. Anyways, I loved everything there from the fishes to the big sharks to the tiny jellyfish. 

There is this really cool underwater part where the roof is the aquarium it self, I found it so damn awesome & gosh, the difference kind of colours, sizes, designs and shapes of these fishes made us humans look so plain and grey

I couldn't be any more thankful to him for today and I'll refrain from getting all emotional but youu da best bae! I'm soo glad I get to experience soo many new things with him. There's a first time for literally everything when it comes to him & it's great we're experiencing these new things together. So.. I have to be up for work in a couple hours, so back to bed I go & YES, I did have my daily dose of Iced coffee today! #HappyJaney

Some JANEY time.. finally + Iced Coffee

Remember when I said I had work for 9 days in a row? Well luckily, I was able to get a break in-between aka today.. I got someone to take my shift for today so I can take a break and get some Janey time. In fact, I was able to wake up at 3pm today & made pancakes with my sister and cousin and of course.. I didn't forget my daily dose of Iced Coffee.. Really, I need a shirt that says that because it's literally my life. Now, I'm watching episodes of "Family Guy" while laying on the couch and typing this.. Unfortunately, tomorrow I'll be back to waking up early and coming home late because of work. Tomorrow is pay day & I'm not even all that excited..  I have to pay for the hotel I'll be staying in for frosh week since I'm a frosh leader for Ryerson U.. (The amazing week will be worth it though so I'm excited for that). Then, I have to get a lot of back to school clothes and tools. Yes, I believe going to University for business totally means dressing your part.... or I just need an excuse to go shopping hahaha.

Next week seems pretty promising! Monday I have the day booked off for a church picnic which is a blast every year, then tuesday is a pool party with my friends which was also a blast last year! I'm excited as fuck for those two days!! Except the amount of calories I'll be consuming for those two days... ahhh... there goes my non existing diet. Well, that'll be it for today my lovelies, I shall be back after work tomorrow.

Daily dose of Iced Coffee - Sleeping Pills?

Today was as stressful as it gets. I have the worst headache right now and I barely slept.. My boyfriend keeps pressuring me to buy sleeping pills because of this but you see, that is just soo scary! What if I fall asleep and never wake up.. ever. Who ever is reading this, tell me what kind of sleeping pills you suggest that'll knock me out BUT does not have much of a side effect. Well, finally after a long day starting at 6am, I am finally having my daily dose of Iced Coffee (which is sooo stupid because I need to catch up on sleep) hahaha this is a total package of JaneyProblems. (OKAY BLOG NAME REFERENCE)!! Everytime I drink Iced Coffee, I will post about how my day is going at that very moment and second. It'll be a routine. We'll call it "Janey's Daily Dose of Iced Coffee) aka a relaxing time to sit back & think! Check out this beauty..

Today I don't have much to say because I really want to just lay down and watch TV until I fall asleep... at like 4am. But I might publish one of my draft posts for you guys! Byyy the way, almost 5,000 views!!!! Woohooo. Also, you can now subscribe to my blog so now you can get my blog posts directly to your email all pretty and all ;) But thanks for the love guys! I got a lot of emails regarding the blog! To the people who suggested posts I should do, I'm totally looking into that I promise! I just really like having my own topics and just typing as I go. Yes, I pick up my laptop and I just type. It's all from my heart, head, and right away. My drafts are just posts I actually had to think about before posting. Well, I Janey, solemnly swear to post more "productive" things... maybe.. haha! Till next time, maybe an hour or so! Later loves!

Today just isn't my Janey day

Right now I am such a wreck because of 3 things. One, I had work from 7am-4pm today.. two, I have work from 8am-4pm tomorrow and three, I have work everyday until next sunday. Gosh, who came up with a schedule like this.. Definitely worth the money but I need my break. Where I fucked up was when I got home from work today, I went straight to bed so now that I am awake... I won't be getting any sleep tonight before my 8am shift. Sigh.... "At least I have a job" is what my sister says to me every time I complain therefore I am not allowed to complain. I did have my iced coffee though, that was the bright side of today. I didn't take a picture or follow the little picture rule (take a picture or it never happened) because I was in a hurry and I totally rushed it. Okay... back to right now, I am really really lazy and tired but If I take another nap, I'm stuck without sleep for tonight. Oh how I'd love to trade lives with Kylie Jenner right now.. sigh. Anyways, does anyone know anything that'll make me VERY tired tonight so I could sleep before my shift? Any remedies.. or medicine ? Help a Janey out bitches & leave a comment! Xoxo. 

Daily dose of Iced Coffee

Ahhhhhh, yummy! I can't get enough iced coffee in a day. 

Today started at around 3pm because I had a really late night conversation with my boyfriend. Anyways, today looks pretty relaxing, I mean, I started my day off with Iced coffee.. it couldn't get any better than that. Right now, I'm sipping on this deliciousness and typing this.. I should do this more often, every time I make myself a cup of ice coffee.. I blog about it! Lol, just kidding, that'll be 1 too many posts. I hope who ever is reading this is having a great day & actually doing something productive. NORMAL people right now are either shopping, at the beach with friends, or out for a bike ride but Janey stays home and blogs about what ever she feels like blogging about. I don't have much to say right now because I really have to get back to my movie binging, I'll check back when I get bored again. Remember, comment and have conversations with me.. let's not make this a one way relationship. 

Some Janey time - Starbucks

Currently sitting at Starbucks which is a 30 minute walk from my house, sipping a grande iced coffee & eating a bagel. When I said I was going to have some "Me" time.. Well this is kind of it. Except I'm in public & my feet hurt from walking. I am in no way associated with Starbucks nor was I asked to post this but Goddamn, their drinks are "da bomb". I am a proud gold card holder aka I can't get enough of starbies. Anyways, shoutout to the barista that did this: 

She got my blog's title font "I, Janey" SPOT ON! #ThatsLove. I should visit a lot more often but that takes effort. As most of you know, I live in Whitby Ontario which is basically the city of space meaning there is a lot of just space. Houses, grasses & a bunch of NOTHING. It definitely makes a good track for longboarding!! Anndddd now I'm heading back home. Yay for 30 minute walks for ice coffee but I did buy take home packets of iced coffee so I can enjoy this deliciousness at home! 

Till next time, bye!! 

Look who's back

Yes it is me.. just me, no one else but me. It should be more about me, more about what I want and what I feel like doing. These past couple months have been very hard for me but no one really cares so I'll gladly not talk about it. But here I am, once again.. on this blog ready to post whatever I feel like. You know, it takes effort to actually pick up my laptop & start typing about your day.. I mean, that's what late night conversations with my boyfriend are for. Yes .. I said it, boyfriend. We're still together incase I miss-led you with my little "Its all about me" speech. But really.. I  need some more Jane time. I need to sit back and just take everything in.. Work is stressful, home is annoying and crazy loud, I'm just always at work or in my room doing something obviously unproductive. Then i thought to my self.... I have almost 5,000 views on this blog so I might as well continue to make this a thing for myself.

Its 4:42am & I'm writing a blog post.. so maybe me getting some time for myself and sitting back is something I should start prettyyyyyy soon. So, for all you weirdos that actually care *skim through this if you don't* .... but my day was fine thank you very much. I'm no Kylie Jenner but I feel pretty fantastic about how a lot of things are turning out. You know what? The best way to write a blog post is to just type.. and not stop. As i speak.. I am just typing and not stopping. It makes it "legit" but at least you have an idea of what I sound like.. or talk like... whatever!! you get the point.

My female cousin and male cousin are spending the summer with me so my house is pretty much the teenage hot spot at Whitby (help me) but time for me to kill some more time watching TV or maybe I'll read a book & post about it later. I like that idea better. But this is a post just updating everyone about how I'm doing & I am very good. Maybe, just maybe.. I'll go back to give you tips about different things on my next post. No promises!!

Till tomorrow my little rascals.

Why I'm excited for this... SUMMER!!!!

Yes, it is that time of the year for me! There are about 3 reasons why I'm as excited as a 3 year old actually getting candy from a stranger in a white van.. or a sexually active teenage girl finally getting her period.. or even as happy as Rob Ford when he sees cocaine.

1st, I get 4 months of summer.. not 1, not 2, not 3.. BUT 4 beautiful months of summer (hopefully mother nature doesn't shit on us). This is only exciting to me because in highschool, I got only 2 months of summer and those two months went by way too fast because one day I was celebrating the start of summer and the next, I was picking out the correct knife to stab myself with because school started. Now, I'll have time to sleep AND have my fun.

2nd, I just finished my first year at Ryerson University. Just yesterday I remember being in grade 9 thinking about how long high school will be and today I've completed my first year. I have so many things planned for this summer and I really do hope to do them all because summers are usually filled with unfulfilled plans. University has been the most amazing experience ever for me. From frosh to my first lecture, first exam, first conference, first everything... Even my first boyfriend etc etc etc. What I've learned from just that one not so simple year of University in terms of friends and life is just touching. Definitely excited to kick it up a notch 2nd year but for now, I'll kick it up a notch at the beach.

3rd, I am finally stress free before a killer semester. The next semester coming up equals Law, Finance and other courses that make my stomach turn. Definitely not looking forward for the stress but I've got 4 months to do as much as I can. As my mother always says, there is a time for everything. I have the time of my life this summer and then kill myself during school. But for now, I get to kick back relax, grab a kit kat and chiiiillllllll out. First up, getting my nails done and dropping this freshman 15lbs!

CHEERS TO A GREAT SUMMER AHEAD OF US UNI STUDENTS. (Yes I
know, Its spring)

Lets make it LEGEN..... wait for it... DARY.
