ROADTRIP!!!!

ROADTRIP!!!!!


Hello, My Friends!


Alright! So for the next 10 days I will hopefully be making a new post everyday. Why you may ask? BECAUSE MY FAMILY'S GOING ON A ROADTRIP ACROSS THE STATES!!!!!


That's right! We start in my home town in New Brunswick, then make our way through to Boston for 3 days, Washington just for a night, then our main stop Florida (Disney!!!), and we continue on to Myrtle Beach, and make one last stop on New York City.


Now to be honest, we actually started our trip yesterday. So allow me to fill you in.


My two sisters, my step-brother, my step-dad, my mom and I, all hopped into our van around 5:00 a.m. We began our super long car ride to Boston, after hours of fighting, sleeping, eating, singing, and readings, we actually arrived there at 3:45 p.m.


Our hotel is amazing! We're staying and the Hampton Inn on the outskirts of Boston, and it is beautiful. They have a pool and hot tub, a gym,  and awesome free breakfast, beautiful furniture, and so much more. Not mention the fact that the staff are amazing and really friendly. I absolutely love it here. Yet again if you stick anywhere with a pool, free wifi, and free food, you'll have my heart in your hands! 

 

After settling into the hotel, we decided to head out for supper....At the original Wahlburgers restaurant!! This foodie hot spot, is a definite must see if you are in Boston. It is so awesome! The atmosphere itself is spectacular. And the food, oh my gosh, it is sooooooooo good! I'm telling you their burgers are moan worthy! I still can't believe how good it was. This restaurant definitely lives up to it's reputation.

Now, what do you do after you eat a wonderful, filling, meal? Why walk around and do a little shopping of course. We walked around the beautiful town of Quincy and stopped to multiple stores. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Trader Joe's, and Marshalls. Now understand I've never been to any of these stores, with the exception of Marshalls. To say I was impressed was an understatement. Bed, Bath and Beyond, not only looks beautiful but the stuff inside it is amazing! If you're starting to move out on your own, I would definitely recommend going there. There's also Trader Joe's. They bring a whole new definition to grocery shopping! They've got all kinds of different foods. There's Cookie Butter, Shrimp Nuggets, and lots and lots of other stuff. Now I didn't really do much at Marshalls. But it's the only place I actually bought something at. I got a brand new bathing suit, that I absolutely love! So thank you Marshall where ever you are.

The day ended with a nice swim at the hotel, and quick relaxing shower. We all headed to bed and got ready for tomorrow. A day reserved for shopping.

Until then,

Who I Am

Who I Am


Hi Guys,


So I just found out that if you share one of my posts it says my name in all caps right underneath it. So I am going to reveal to you my identity.


Hi, I'm Brooklyn Wilkins. Call me, Brook. I'm a 14 year old from New Brunswick, Canada. I don't really have that much of a life. But my dream job is to be a travel writer, so that I can explore the world doing my what I love. Writing. 

I like to say that I'm smart, whether it's true or not I have no idea. My favourite colour is TARDIS blue, my favourite Marvel character is Captain America, my favourite Whinchester is Sam, my favourite Doctor is 11 (But I never skipped 9 or 10, their still amazing too), and Loki will forever be better then Thor.


To say I'm a Fan Girl is an understatement. I tend to obsess over almost everything, and 'ship' all kinds of couples. I'm talking about anyone from my O.T.P. 'Captain Swan' (from Once Upon A Time), to 'Destiel' (From Supernatural), to 'Sherlolly' (From Sherlock, and I do like the idea of JohnLock too)


So that's basically who I am. I hope this has answered any questions. I'll see you guys around!


Signing off,


The Nerdy Blogger (Brooklyn Wilkins)

Why Hello, Sweethearts


     Oh Valentine's day! A day of love, caring, and cherishing your loved ones....Unless you're single like me. Then it's a day of chocolate, ice cream, and a marathon of romance movies. It may seem sad, but I actually love being single on Valentine's day. Instead of having to go on some kind of cliché date at an over booked restaurant, I get to stay home, dig into a pile of 50% off chocolates and let my heart break over romances that I will most likely never have. It's quite fun, actually. So instead of going on and on about the perfect date, and how hot my imaginary boyfriend is, let's talk about how we don't need no man, or woman to be happy! We can simply be happy and free!


   Even though todays society may seem to tell us that you need a partner to be happy it's not true. We can all survive perfectly fine independently. Take myself for example! I have been single, and proud for about 3 years. Not because I can't get a guy, but because I don't need one. And to tell you the truth these 3 years have been some of the happiest years of my life! I've got great friends, great grades, and no worries what so ever. It kind of reminds me of a post a saw on Facebook. 'Being single doesn't mean you're weak. It just means you're strong enough to wait for what we deserve.' and you, my friends deserve only the best. So please don't treat being single like it's a bad thing. It just means we are waiting for some one who will treat us like we're their everything.


  Now I will admit, I am being a slight hypocrite right now. Why, you may ask? Because I'm a complete hopeless romantic that's why! I believe in 'soul mates' and 'love at first sight' and all that crap! I don't really cry at romance movies, but my heart literally aches! For example, I was watching my one of my favorite romance movies, 'What's Your Number?', and screamed at the T.V. because of how clueless the female lead was, then squealed like the teenage girl I am when they finally got together. I love classic love stories! I get so happy when someone finally finds their perfect someone. It kind makes you wish you had a love like that of your own. But you just got to remember that you will find it someday. And if you already found your other half, congratulations! You've found the true love of your life, if you could be so kind to tell me just how you did that, that'd be wonderful!


Anyways, all the roses and paper hearts away, love is a very fragile thing, that I'm sure we'll all find eventually. Until then don't be ashamed of being strong and independent. Enjoy life as it is, and be happy!


With lots of hugs,


The Nerdy Blogger

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, Dearies!


    
       Welcome to the 2016 world of my blog! I know this post is more then a little delayed, seeing how it's now February, but I am still going to remind you all of your New Year's resolutions, and tell you about mine. So lets pull back out those party hats, and noise makers, cause this may get a little crazy!




     Ah, New Year's resolutions! We put all of our hopes and dreams into this one goal, and tell ourselves that it will last for the rest of the year. Only for it to go completely down hill within 2 weeks. I actually attempted to do this myself this year. I told myself I was going to loose all the weight I could, and get into shape for basketball season. I was right into it! I downloaded the 'Fitness Plus' app, it let's you track how many calories you need to eat and loose to reach your goal weight. All I simply had to do was record what I eat, how much I ate of it, pretty easy. I also added the 'S Work It' workout app.




      All had been well, then I hit my first weak day. I was at my Grandmother's, and she decided I needed to eat a pre supper snack, then a full course meal, and then dessert. It was so sooo good, and I couldn't say no to my Grandma! Everything went South from there. I had stopped working out, and stopped tracking my calories, but still played basketball every week.




     And do you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that! So screw New Year's resolutions! I'm just going to enjoy being me, just the way I am...or was...whatever! If any body out there actually have stuck to there promises to themselves, I applaud you. Because it's a lot harder then I thought it would it be.


Any how, that's it for now, Ciao!

Winter Vacation

Winter Vacation

Hello Sweeties,

Guess what time of year it is? IT'S WINTER VACATION!!! This means more time to sleep, read, fan girl, sleep, drink tea, eat, and do absolutely nothing! It's heaven on Earth. Well it would be if I didn't have a bunch of stuff to do.  I've got homework, Christmas parties, basketball games, and simply hanging out with my friends. Which I guess is a good thing, I wouldn't want to become a hermit, now would I?

There are many things to do on your Christmas break. Whether it's relaxing, or something extreme, the holidays are always filled with fun. Here's a few suggestions, to stop yourself from becoming a hermit, like myself.

#1. ENJOY THE SNOW!!

Up here in Canada, snow is a guarantee. But it's up to you whether you want to go and use it or not. I, personally, love the snow!! So after a big storm I'm outside either sledding, building a snowman, or chucking snowballs at my Twin. (That's my favorite.) Winter is a true gift with all it's beauty. Before you know it, it'll be melted away. So don't take it for granted. Go for a nice walk, or sleigh ride, in a beautiful winter wonder land.

#2 SOCIALIZE!!!

I know, this one is a lot to ask, but we do need human interaction from time to time. A good way to do this is either go to, or invite someone over who you actually enjoy. Friends can be great for lots of things! From ranting, to freaking out, true friends are always there to support you, even when you're going insane! So please, don't just ditch them the entire winter break, hang out with them once in a while. It'll be good for you.

#3 THROW/ATTEND A CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!!

Now this is one thing you can only during the holiday season. Christmas parties are awesome (unless they're not). They always include three things: Food, Friends, and Christmas. It doesn't matter whether it's just one with your friend, or one with your family. They always manage to find some way to slip into holiday plans. But it's not a bad thing. Take these parties as a chance to get to know some one, make some friends, re-spark old friendships, or even meet someone new, under the mistletoe. ;)

So those are the three main things, that I myself do during the Christmas season. And as much as these things rock, you can't forget to save a bit of personal time for yourself. It's never fun if your body is too worn out to enjoy it. So don't forget to pull aside a few minutes of your day for a little R&R (Rest and Relaxation)

Wishing you Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year,

The Nerdy Blogger

A Holly Jolly Return

A Holly Jolly Return


Hello My Sweeties!


I am glad to announce that I have returned from my long, long break. This time for, hopefully, good. And what better timing? With the holidays coming just around the corner, I'll have more time on my hands then ever! YAY!!


Speaking of the holidays, who's excited for Christmas? I AM!!!!! You may not know this, but Christmas just happens to be my FAVOURTE holiday...like ever. I mean come on?! How can you hate it? There's snow, family, friends, food, laughing, embarrassing pictures from your childhood, and, oh yes, the egg nog. Christmas is the one time of the year where we all get together and get know each other all over again. Not mention relive all those wonderful, old memories with those you love. Yup! Christmas has be one of the most cheerful times of the year.




But as much as I love it, it does have it's cons. And I'm not talking about holiday bellies. I'm talking about the big S.C., Mr. HO HO HO. That's right. I'm talking about Santa Clause. Now you're probably thinking, "But who could hate Santa?!?" Calm down, dudes! I never said I hated the fellow, I'm just saying that he distracts from the big picture of Christmas! People get so caught up in making the best light show, and giving the best gift, and cooking the best meal, that they forget about their families. It can make anyone throw their hands in the air and yell "BAH HUM BUG!"


Of course we don't mean to be so forgetful, and competitive, but as time goes, it get's harder and harder to fight the temptation. Our generation is becoming one of greed, gluttony and pride. We're so caught up in the fancy lights, and huge presents, that we forget the true meaning of Christmas. We forget that Christmas isn't about the gifts or turkeys, or red and green lights, or a man in a red and white suit with some serious weight issues! It's about giving to others, not because you want them to give you something back, or because you have to, but because you want to. It's about making some one smile, or laugh just to make them happy. It's about helping out those in who have less then you. That's the true spirit of Christmas.


So this holiday season, I challenge all of you to do something good for someone in your community. Whether it's shoveling some ones drive way for free, or giving a goodie basket to your neighbour, or singing Christmas carols to the seniors at the local nursing home. Do something that makes someone smile. I think you'll find that you'll feel twice as good as when you entered! Now go, my little elves! Spread joy!


Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!....Or something like that :)

My Inner Fan Girl

ATTENTION FAN PEOPLES EVERY WHERE!!!


It's coming. In as little as one week. It will arrive...ONCE UPON A TIME SEASON 5 IS STARTING!!!!!! I've literally been going insane! My brain is stacked with theories, I'm stalking all the cast on twitter for any teasers. Not too mention all the feels from the season 4 finale are returning. I'm just so excited!!! I mean come on!! Did you see how they left us completely clueless, and heartbroken? It's cruel. So I'm simply freaking our over these newly discovered facts and teasers that have been popping up everywhere.


Ah, and that friend I told you about, Fan Girl? Yeah she kind of gave me some major Marvel spoilers that she discovered from reading the comics, before class started. Needless to say I was trying my hardest to crawl into a corner and grieve over my lost heroes. I mean....Why? Why does Stan Lee feel the need to destroy our emotional balance? And why do we still jump at the chance do discover it we know he'll most likely kill our favorite character! It kind of reminds me of Steven Moffat. It's like, oh look. 'They like this guy a lot. Let's murder him!' NO!!! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO PEOPLE!! Sometimes I wish I could just steal the characters from them and force them to be nice to them or they would never get them back...Who am I kidding? If I got my hands on Captain America I would never give him back for any amount of money! I mean, have you seen those muscles?! And his manners, and eyes, and innocents? *Swoons* Somebody catch me.


On another note Doctor Who season 9 has started, and still haven't finished season 8!!! I guess I just got caught up in all my other fandoms I forgot about my very first. That's right. I was a Whovian before I became anything else. It was a glorious moment. My first episode was 'The Girl In The Fireplace.' My Step-Dad was watching it, and I kind of butted in. I liked it and searched for it on Netflix. From there my journey as a Fan Girl had only just begun. *sighs* I was still half sane back then.


Now before I add to my already deprived sleeping cycle I'm afraid I must retreat.


Goodbye, and may the odds be in your favor,
The Nerdy Blogger
