Move Bridget Jones, Amber Rose is here now
Hi there. Thanks for taking part in what is sure to be an epic fail. It's going to be a ride.
So obviously, I've been a bit inspired by a certain Bridget Jones and well it is the digital age. It has also helped that for my Academic Success Class, we have to keep a tablet of everything we do through out the day for a week.
Here's how it went: *cue comical music from old silent movies*

On Monday, I blasted On My Own from Les Miserables and sang my heart out. I should have won a Tony for my performance. I kid you not, the emotions were real.
Let's back up, shall we?
I met The Boy (Let's call him this) in Spanish class, junior year of high school. Although, we had a class together before. The Boy noticed me, I did not notice him. I suddenly don't feel so bad about that anymore. Anyway, we became pretty good friends and then I didn't see him all that summer and only in the halls that next fall. Second semester of senior year is when I saw him again and I so desperately wanted The Boy to ask me out. But it wasn't happening. Even my dad knew. I was sitting out on the back porch when he came back from his run and told me, "Amber, this whole The Boy thing, isn't working. Either he's stupid or he's playing for the wrong team. So, you gotta move on." So I pretty much did. I got a prom dress and I planned to go by myself, because I had no group of friends that wanted me to go with them. The Tuesday before Prom, he got on the news (The Boy was the school weatherman) and asked me to Prom. It was like something out of a John Hughes movie. We started spending every second of our time together. We made it Facebook official after about two weeks. It was great. I learned from him and he learned from me. He changed me, but for the better. And I, him. I started living life again. And he started to see the good in life again. We were what each other needed. On the Fourth of July, The Boy told me, "This isn't just going to be a summer thing."
I found it quite ironic when the day after he broke up with me was the first day of Fall.
I moved away to College. Four hours away. Unable to get away, but for one weekend out of 5. After only three weeks of not seeing each other, he gave up. The Boy gave up. The Boy left me heartbroken. The Boy wasn't the one I guess.
I'm not going to be okay for a while, especially since this might be the roughest week of my life. Not only did The Boy break up with me, but my keys disappeared (car and house, thank goodness I have a spare car key), and some bird shat on my car. I'm going to view that one as good luck though. And it's only Tuesday.
What I hate most about break ups (I guess, this is my first one), is that "one minute, you're closer to someone than anyone in the whole world, the next minute, you're never going to see them again."(Bridget Jones's Diary: Edge of Reason)
