College man. College is honestly a scary place. As soon as you go to college you are responsible for yourself. They treat you like an adult which is a pretty scary concept when you are use to teachers talking to you like you are 5. If you don't turn in assignments the professors don't care because you are the one paying for it. That brings to an even BIGGER reason why college is not a good thing. I swear that place has one goal and one goal only: TO TAKE OUR MONEY. <--- Good reason not to go to college. Just Kidding. Everyone should go to college (just maybe not at WNCC unless your foreign then knock yourself out). Foreign people seem to love this college. Maybe it's because they aren't from here. I know a ton of people up there. I spend most of my time avoiding them. I didn't talk to them in high school and I don't want to talk to them now.
College is seriously not that bad. I just like to over exaggerate. I've learned a huge amount and met a ton of people in just the 1st semester. I've also already changed my major once. The worst class that a person will ever take is intro to information technology. If you are a technical person then take that class. If you are not a technical person like yours truly... It is a waste of time and money but yet somehow I managed to pull a B+ in that class so I guess that is pretty nifty. The best class I took this semester was psychology and I learned so much from my instructor. I decided ,through the course of his class, that I want to get a doctorate in Public health and another in Cross-Culture psychology.
I was honestly not prepared for college at all. I procrastinated a lot which often kept me up until 2-3 in the morning. I got really good at writing papers in a short amount of time. I one time had to do a WHOLE experiment and write a 5 page paper about it in 2 hours. I am not proud of it :( But I did manage to pull off a 90. Now... that 90... is something I am proud of. The grading system is something I forgot about quite frequently. I was use to 100-94 being an A and so on. In college they do this really cool thing where 100-90 is an A. How is that not the coolest thing ever? They give you 4 more points to get an A. Right on College makers. Right on.
No first semester of college is complete without a few mental break-downs. If you tell me that you went the first semester of college without:
1) the thought of dropping out
2) crying because you don't understand something or you are overwhelmed
3) wanting to pull your hair out
4) wanting to toss your computer out of the nearest window
I would tell you that you are lying. My friend ,Kesleigh, had an emotional break down every week for like a good six weeks. She one time even decided not to go to school at all for a week (can't say I blame her).
I really did make friends I didn't just sit at home, do homework, and cry about my life. I also got in trouble a lot. I got into a lot of fights with my mom. I even got grounded once... Like I'm a college student and my mom grounded me. Do you understand how uncool that makes me sound? " Hi. I'm Morgan Haberman. I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm grounded for a week." Smh! Don't be mean to your parents even if you are fed up with school... They can still ground you :( Since my mom will probably read this: Mom, I have better behaved and I totally understand why you did that :)
One thing to look forward in college... Basketball Players! Since it is Scottsbluff, we maybe have one or two hot players but other teams... Man the hot guys on other teams is ridiculous!!!
Well that is about of into this topic I am going to get considering it is break and Ain't nobody got time to talk about school. NOBODY!! Well Everyone reading this (all 2 and a half people. ) Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
xox0,

First things first. My title to this post happens to come from Hunter Hayes' song Faith to fall back on. My summer wasn't that crazy haha :) Now for my next point. I had originally planned to complete everything on my bucket list for the Summer but as it turns out that didn't happen. I got a bit of it completed and just forgot to post about it. As for the rest of it, ain't nobody got time for that! I still had an amazing Summer. I've made new friends and I lost some of the old ones. In my honest opinion though, I am glad those people left. My Summer wouldn't have been as amazing as it was if those people were still around! I've been to two concerts this Summer which were absolutely amazing and I found a new love for Hunter Hayes ( I swear most of his songs were written for me...Probably not but a girl can dream) and I saw Jake Owen who opened for Jason Aldean. I've been to Denver with Hannah Gilliland multiple times this summer even if it was just for a night at a time. The first time Hannah and I went to Denver we met some new friends. They are pretty cool. We see them occasionally when we go down. We also met this one girl at the library who we try to avoid when we go down. She a tad bit on the annoying side. Tabitha went with us for one of them which was extremely fun but then we had to come back to go to work. :( Blah. We did get to stay in this cool hotel though (both times we went actually) and got Starbucks everyday we were there (Huge Bonus) :) We had some extremely late nights like the one when we didn't come home until 7:30 in the morning (mom, I am still sorry for that BTW:) but just remember there are worse things like being addicted to meth!). I had a birthday over the Summer. I didn't do a ton though. I went golfing with Hannah, Vianney, and Adam. Speaking of those two... I can finally tell everyone that Hannah and Adam are dating!!! So that is super, duper exciting :) Good choice Adam! You picked a keeper :) but you hurt her , I swear, we will have some MAJOR issues. After golfing, Hannah took me to Ole for lunch (my new favorite restaurant). We went to Chilli's with Grandma and Grandpa Haberman... which went well until grandpa told them it was my birthday. Darn him! Then we just chilled and ate cake and ice cream and Becca graced us with her presence :) I got Beats, an Awesomely Amazing screen protector, and a new purse! :) I also got a picture frame from Tillie and some other stuff too! All in all, it was a great day spending it with the ones I love...except Adam. He's ight. :) Nana and Grandpa Johnson decided to abandoned me on the only 19th birthday I will have but I forgive them I guess! :)
So this stupid computer or website won't let me indent at the beginning of the paragraphs, which frustrates me a lot!!! Anyway, even though I didn't do everything on that bucket list I will say this Summer was one we will remember and laugh about for a long time! :) That's all until next time! XOXO
P.s my red lipstick melted and I can't use it anymore which makes me depressed :(
"Being 18 is like being a man on a road trip. You have absolutely no idea where the heck you're going, but you don't want directions!"
As all of you who are reading this know...within the next hour I will be 19 and moved out (if Hannah had it her way). 18 years doesn't seem like a long time but I have learned a lot in that short amount of time but I will share 18 of them with you. One for each year.
Things I have learned:
- I was potty trained sometime within the last 18 years
- I learned to walk and talk
- I had to learn how to dress myself which can still sometimes be tricky to this day
- I learned how to drive (not very well but hey it is still an accomplishment)
- I learned how to be more social
- I've learned that without family this life would be hard.
- I've learned that sometimes even if you are right, an argument may not be worth it.
- I've learned that I am very fortunate to be where I am today.
- I've learned that if you help around the house you get to go out more :) sadly, this one was learned recently.
- I've learned that when in doubt call dad. He may not have all the answers but he can sure try to give you one that makes sense.
- I've learned that if something goes missing, call mom. She knows where almost everything is.
- I've learned that Hannah hardly has any shame...
- I've learned that "cancer" is the scariest 6 letter word in the entire universe.
- I've learned somethings need to fall apart for others to fall into place.
- I've learned people walk in and out of our lives but life is too short to let that control you.
- I've learned everything happens for a reason. We may never know what that reason is but there is one.
- I've learned that as I get older, the clothes I use to wear get more and more repulsive.
- Last but not least I've learned...mom will appreciate this one..."A family that prays together, Pays together" :)
The last 18 years have been full of some many tragic and wonderful moments. If I could take back anything in the last 18 years I wouldn't. Those things make me who I am today. And even though I will be 19 in less than an hour, nothings really going to change. Sure I'll have more responsibility and I won't be able to have my parents get me out of everything but I honestly believe I can handle that. So with that being said... Year 19... I am ready for whatever you have to throw at me :)
"Take a deep breath, It's just a bad day, not a bad life"
This post is ,in all honestly, a reminder for me to remember that when we have a bad day, that is exactly what it is nothing more unless you let it carry on. I came up with this idea for this post when I was taking a bath (where most great ideas come from). When you have a bad day just think of all your favorite things. I know I told you all my favorite things in a previous post but I have recently improved my list :)
Favorite things:
- Super bubbly baths :)
- Netflix (best creation ever)
- Movies. It kinda ties into Netflix but it IS different
- Early Mornings
- Late Nights with my friends
- Getting to disappear to my nana and grandpa's in the Summer time
- My job. It may not be my absolute favorite thing but I'm blessed to have that job.
- Music is also a good thing :)
- the way it smells after it rains
- Lenard the Alero. He is a little stud.
- sweet texts <3
- unsweet tea
- road trips
- Candles. I LOVE them!
- Mexican Food
- Mario party on Nintendo 64. Too bad we don't have it.
- Relationships like Hannah's and all the cute things they do for each other. Absolutely adorable<3 Good Choice Hannah :)
- Lorenzo Guadalupe Tu Madre the Iphone. Even if he is a little broken
- All of the flowers around the house in the Summer. Thanks Mom=)
- a clean room. Even though mine is hardly ever clean.
- Stupid movie quotes that only my dad understands :)
- Popsicles <3
- boys that smell good <3
- glitter. Lots and Lots of glitter!
- Pretty Little Liars.
This is just part of many of my favorite things. I sometimes take these days for granted. So my challenge for everyone is to make a list of all of your favorite things and just think about how truely blessed we are. Don't forget to Thank the Man that gave us everything we have today :)
This is my "broffer" Alex. The fact that she is a girl and is my brother should explain our whole relationship! :) With this girl there is never a dull moment because we are always doing hood rat things but not with friends(everyone is just jealous of our coolness which is why we often find ourselves alone). As we always say God made us friends because our moms couldn't handle us as sisters. The other day was the first time we had hung out all Summer and it was great to see her. We always have so much fun. This time we decided to violate A.J's person space by playing doctor and sticking water bottles where they shouldn't be! :) Even though A.J claims that we "need to stop" with whatever we may be torturing him with at that point in time, he just really means "please continue to annoy me because I like the attention! ;) but anyway back to the main point of this here blog post we decide to have a sleepover :) The first picture is us trying to get my clothes from my house but then decided to pick on A.J and the second picture would be what I woke up to at nine in the morning (after going to sleep at two) before having to feed sheep! Activities of this sleepover include: walking sheep, eating pizza, watching girl code, and eating lava cake for breakfast (shhhh don't tell mom). 3 down 65 more to go! :)

My friend Hannah and I decided to take her German Shepard mix ,Dozer, to the dog park. Dozer wasn't to fond of the tires but he did like going through the giant tunnel made of cement. While we were playing at the dog park, we meet this lady and her dog named Biscuit, who just had back surgery. These two guys showed up with there with their pit bulls and Dozer was not happy about that. I don't think the two men were thrilled about Dozer either because they took their two dogs to the other side of the dog park. Then our friend Tabitha showed up with two more dogs. In all I would say it was a very eventful day and I got to cross something off my list. 2 down 66 more to go :)
