I Just Wanna Spend My Life With You
Like a dream you can't explain love can chase a beating of your heart
Like the sunshining in the rain love can make your whole world fall apart
All i wanted now
I just wanna spend my life with you
Time will show me how
Suddenly everything has turned me inside out
Suddenly love is the thing that I can't live without
You are my dream my love my life
I just wanna spend my life with you
You are the one that makes me smile
I just wanna spend my life with you
God I love somehow... I just wanna spend my life with you
You can show me how
Suddenly everything has turned me inside out
Suddenly love is the thing that i can't live without
You are my dream my love my life
I just wanna spend my life with you
You are the one that makes me smile
I just wanna spend my life with you
What have you done to me?
Is this how its meant to be
Can't control this feeling in my heart
I can see better days glowing inside your eyes
And I know you feel it in your heart
All I wanted now
I just wanna spend my life with you
Time will show me how
Suddenly everything has turned me inside out
Suddenly loves the thing that i can't live without
You are my dream my love my life
I just wanna spend my life with you
You are the one that makes me smile
I just wanna spend my life with you
Love is a crazy thing
Its like when you wanna sing
And the words are deep inside your soul
When somebody comes along together you sing a song
You just let the music take control
And i wanted now
i just wanna spend my life with you
Time will show me how
Suddenly everything has turned me inside out
turned me inside out
Suddenly loves the thing that i can't live without
You are my dream my love my life
I just wanna spend my life with you
You are the one that makes me smile
I just wanna spend my life with you
The Power of Your Imagination
Visualize yourself lying in black sand, swaying back and forth to the sound of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a perfect eighty-two degrees in the sparkling sun and Jack Johnson is singing sweet sweet lyrics into your ear. You have decided that life could not get any better than at this moment. You reach over for your tanning lotion, (SPF 30+ of course,) feeling a heavy tap on your shoulder. Lifting your head, you come to realize that it’s not a beautiful cabana boy handing you your pineapple cranberry smoothie, it’s your teacher handing you a big fat detention. Rubbing your eyes while blushing, you pull out your planner, only to record your third detention in two weeks.
As you’re coloring and bolding and adding little stars to another detention for another Tuesday afternoon, you visualize yourself as the student body president of Harvard University, giving the graduation speech of 2012. Thousands of overwhelming eyes are on you, eyes that have read thousands of stimulating articles, but you speak with confidence. You feel empowered, on fire, like you’re the president of the universe. No, those aren’t the stars in the galaxy, those are the stars on your planner, outlining your third Tuesday detention; and you’re back where you started.
This, my friend, is not day-dreaming; this is the beauty and art of Creative Visualization. Author Shakti Gawain, explores Creative Visualization as the technique of using the power of your imagination to create what you wish for in your life. Discovered by integrating the spiritual and psychological wisdom of the East and West, Gawain incorporates a desire to make a positive difference in the world. In this method, you imagine a pleasant image, idea, or feeling of something you wish to pursue. As you continue focusing on this idea regularly, it will soon become reality.
This technique should always be utilized in a positive manner. Creative Visualization cannot be used to "control" the behavior of others or cause them to do something against their will. Whatever you try to create for another person will always boomerang back to you, whether it is positive or negative. For example, you despise your boss so much that you visualize his toupeè catching on fire. (Word of advice. Don’t imagine such an encounter because I don’t know which is worse: your hair catching on fire or wearing a toupeè.)
The most important principle of Creative Visualization is relaxation. When your body and mind are deeply relaxed, your brain wave pattern actually becomes slower. This deeper, slower level is commonly called the alpha level. The alpha level has been proven to be a very healthful state of consciousness because of its relaxing effect on mind and body. Interestingly enough, it has been found to be very effective in creating physical changes.
A common relaxation method is to get in a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down, in a place where you won’t be disturbed; A place where you can’t see mom jamming out to Earth Wind and Fire with salad tongs, and you can’t hear dad yelling at the cat because she spilled Diet Coke all over his desk. Gawain says to relax your body completely. Starting from your toes and moving up to your scalp, think of relaxing every single muscle in your body, exerting all tension outwards. Breathe deeply and slowly, feeling the air go down your lungs and throughout your spinal cord. As you breathe, count slowly from ten to one.
Once you are deeply relaxed, it is important to focus on what your current goal is. Your goal can be anything you aspire to, whether it is getting an A on that 300 point chemistry test, becoming the next Oprah Winfrey, or eating the world’s largest jawbreaker in under an hour. Remember that goals often change before they are realized. If you lose interest in your current goal, like you’re not really interested in cooking like Emeril anymore, then it might mean that it’s time to reevaluate your current desires and move on to a new one. “Bam!” It’s that easy.
Positive affirmations, optimistic statements that are declared true, are an important element of Creative Visualization. An affirmation can be any positive statement. A few common ones are: ‘Everything I need is already within me,’ ‘The universe is unfolding perfectly,’ or ‘All things are working well in my life.’ If you aren’t really into the commonwealth, you can use your own affirmations like ‘Wow, I haven’t showered in six days but I still look like a million bucks,’ or ‘68% on my math test? That’s amazing!’ Positivity, my friend, is all that’s required. Gawain says that when you do this, you suddenly discover that you're really perfectly okay, just letting yourself be, and letting the world be.
Now that you have learned to utilize the power of your imagination, you go back to drawing stars; except, now, they aren’t the stars on your third Tuesday detention. They are stars of sunscreen on your best friend’s back, and you really are under the sparkling sun, lying on the sand of the Mediterranean Sea. The only difference is that you’re using SPF 50 because it’s 20 years later and you’re skin is a little more fragile; and that’s the beauty of Creative Visualization.

How To Be "Just Friends"
Throughout my life till now, males and females have been battling it out, trying to find a sure balance between friendship and the possibility of something more. There are many differences between men and women, including interests, the amount of drama we can handle, or just the fact that we are completely different from head to toe. Some of these attract us to each other; but how do the rules of attraction apply when friendship is the only end we are seeking?
Rahul, a "guy-girl-friend expert," spilled his guts to me on what makes a guy-girl friendship work. Rahul said that the one thing everyone has in common is the desire to laugh and have fun. He understands that a guy's idea of having fun often can involve a high-risk (Hope everybody knows) and a girl's idea of fun may be chatting it up with friends. He believes there is a happy medium where both sexes can enjoy themselves together, such as sharing a similar sense of humor.
So what makes a committed relationship any different?
"If there was a girl I liked, I would be more concerned with impressing her with my sense of humor or amazing athletic ability," he laughs. “If I were with one of my best-girlfriends, I would act like myself, with no intentions, just to have a good time.” Rahul recalls a girl friend who began to have feelings for him that he did not feel in return. Rahul suggested that anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation should first, and foremost, be honest. Rahul warns, "It is the worst thing to lose one of your best girl friends because emotions get in the way. Girlfriends may last two months to two years, but awesome girls who are ‘just friends’ can last a lifetime."
Divya gives a female perspective on relationships with the opposite sex, admitting that some of her closest friends are guys. She feels they are more honest, great at giving advice, and allow her to be herself. According to Divya, "Guys tell me exactly what they are thinking and don't play games." Her answer to maintaining a friendship with a guy is to talk to them and set things straight before the idea of something more becomes a full infactuation. If you find yourself having feelings for a guy that only sees friendship in the cards, it may be helpful to distance yourself from him and his friends, to get your feet back on the ground, and to let the initial emotion of a "crush", pass without taking prisoners.
Guys know how to make any situation fun and add humor to even the most stressful circumstances. There are certain things I can only talk about with my girlfriends, and in my life, having great girlfriends is important to who I am. My advice for when a friendship turns out to be more: go with the flow. If it works out, it works out. If not, then hopefully the friendship was strong enough to begin with to last through the “break-up” and beyond.

Should a Teen Get a Job?
Any people thinks teens should pay their attention to school,so perhaps your parents refuse to make you work until you turned 18,they feel that as a teenager the primary focus should be going to school, making good grades, and enjoying being a teen while they still can. In fact, as long as you keep the following some rules, you can be successful at being both a student and a worker, however, I think a teen should get a job.
You can learn responsibility. I remember my parents wouldn't buy me a car, give me allowance, or any money. If I wanted it, I had to work for it, and I did. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. I loved working as a teen, I made a ton of friends, bought the things I wanted, and stayed out of trouble.
And yet another is that teenagers need to pay some of their own expenses, like for the car or spending money, so they aren't getting used to the idea of mooching off the parents all the time. This can lead to an extended sense of entitlement that they really need to grow out of. A lot of kids today are spoiled and they need to learn to earn, appreciate, and be responsible for money.
Becoming an adult is a process. The reason is, what a lot of people don't realize is that you don't suddenly become an adult at midnight on your 18th birthday. Becoming an adult is a process. It has to start before you're 18, or you'll still be a child when you come of age. Another good reason to work is to understand that if you don't get a college degree, that's the sort of job you can expect to do your whole life. That can be pretty motivating.
Recession is also a reason. As a result of recession, families now have less spending money. Everything is more expensive now so your parents aren't giving you as much spending money. You can save up for college or you have to pay for a car and you also need spending money. Teenagers now need to be thrifty, or produce their own money in order to buy things they want. I read this whole article in TIME about it, and its true. With less money in general, one of the first places hit is the teenagers non earned pocket full of cash.
I think a job for a teen is a great idea. It gives them some extra spending money and they learn the value of a dollar.That being said, it should definitely be monitored. Most jobs will allow them to work on weekends only and they can still get a nice paycheck at the end of the week, or they can work a few hours after school, so long as they still have time to do their homework.
Another good thing is that if a teen gets a job and works hard,they'll be able to have references for future jobs (after high school/college).They would also learn that money doesn't grow on trees and that people have to work hard to get it;they'll learn to save better since they know how hard it was to get it.They can get certain stuff they need without having to ask their parents for it (specially if their family is not at the best economic position).
