"Googling" yourself

Have you done it? Be honest now.
I have.

"Morgan Bergmann"
The first page is pretty much all me. Linked In, Twitter, Facebook, Google, Carbon made, Twitvid.. wow, I should get a life..

Then I found this website that gives me the creeps. http://www.wajabu.com/Morgan-Bergmann.html It searches all social networks and builds a profile on you. Seriously, not cool.

Of course, I searched for Images of myself too. The first one is my Facebook profile picture. The others.. not so much.

I don't know any of these people. At all. What's with the wedding dress? Who's the dude?

I am in no way related to this woman. Who are you?




This is a freaking coat!













The Internet is amazing.. and weird at the same time.

2011, A New Beginning

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 

Welcome to 2011, the year of my college graduation. The last full year before the end of the world (2012 and everything). In the words of Oprah, "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."

I wanted to update you on what happened to my grandma. Unfortunately, she passed away on December 19th. It was pretty rough on my whole family. Her funeral was Thursday, two days before Christmas. I cried, which was to be expected. My five year old cousin was in tears throughout the funeral, which just made it worse for me. She's so young and it's hard for her to understand why Grandma isn't coming back. 

I think I cried more for my grandpa and aunt than my grandma. I've come to terms with her death, but I feel so bad for them. They lived with her and were the closest to her. Now they're lost without her. My grandpa has never paid bills. After her death, he wrote a check to the city he lived in. Now who is going to cash that Grandpa? The mayor? All joking aside, I know my grandma is in a better place, mostly fishing with my aunt in heaven. I wonder how many fishing poles they've lost so far. 

Christmas was different this year. On the one hand, no one was really in the mood since my grandma had just passed away. But on the other hand, we sort of hand Christmas in shifts for the first time ever. I guess that's what happens when people grow up and have families. Well, this girl has not grown up yet nor does she plan on having a family ANY time soon. Anyway, I got a Wii which was really not expected. I also got a pair of jeans, a sweater, an iHome, a fleece jacket thing, a jewelry tree, a Maurices gift card (which I am spending on Wednesday) and a DVD. I had a pretty good year. 

People are always asking what I want to do before I die, my bucket list for instance. Well, one of the things on my list it to be in Times Square in NYC on New Year's Eve. How awesome would that be? 

Unfortunately, I did not spend my New Year's Even at this place. I went to a party that my sister had. Whoa, quite the party. This was my first official I'm-going-to-celebrate-as-an-actual-adult NYE. But I didn't drink much because my friend brought her jerk of a boyfriend, creating unneeded drama. The Cliffnotes version? I almost punched the guy in the face. Crazy right? I totally know this. 

On an extremely positive note, I'm going to Chicago this weekend! A couple of months ago, I was looking at my favorite band's website, Shinedown, and noticed they were going to be doing a concert in Chicago, and I looked at ticket prices on another website. I noticed that there were tickets available for Wicked (http://www.wickedthemusical.com/) which I have always wanted to see. One thing led to another and my two best friends and I were going! 

Now, the time is here. And I couldn't be more excited. I've never been to Chicago and it should be a great time. 

I'm currently working on a project. I'm putting four years of college pictures together to make a nice DVD. Maybe I'll give them to my friends are presents? Oh, that's a good idea. Go me. But yes, it's crazy to think that I will be done with college soon. But I'm excited for the future.


Like I said, this is 2011 - A New Beginning. I'm graduating, starting over. I'm taking this thought and I'm going to make it last. It's only four days into the year and I've had lots of people ask me what my New Year's resolution(s) is/are. Well, let me think about it. 
1. Learn to manage my money. Right now, I'm really bad at it. 
2. Don't move in with parents after graduation (okay so I don't know if this is a resolution or a goal or what, but I definitely want to follow through with it)
3. Create and stick to a regular work out schedule. 
4. Try new foods 
5. I'm also going to try Project 365, taking a picture every day. We'll see how it goes. I might post them here. I might post them on Fliker. I haven't decided. 
Those sound good to me. Hopefully I'll stick to them. 

I must depart now, but I just wanted to update my dear blog about my life. I'll be more witty and clever next time. I hope. 

life isn't always what you expect

Today marked the first official day of my break. I was going to spend it Christmas shopping, since its next week and all. Sadly.l, there was a change of plans. My Grandma almost died today. Yeah, scary stuff. She's still not awake from her coma but they are positive she will recover eventually.
I've never seen grown men like my dad and grandpa cry before. That was the worst part.
I was there for six or seven hours, just waiting. Finally my mom and I left because I was exhausted. I'm hoping and praying for my grandma.
In good news, I got my dream phone today - the LG mesmerize. I am in love!

Mid-Life Crisis.. of sorts

For those of you that don't know, I am a journalism major. I've had that major going on two years now, I officially started it the end of my sophomore year (because they forced me to find a major). 


I feel like I'm one of those people that have hard time finding one specific thing I want to do with the rest of my life, you know? 


Recently I went through, as the title suggests, a mid-life crisis of sorts. Hopefully I'll live past the age of 44 so this won't be "mid-life" but you get my drift. 


I just woke up one morning and thought, "Ugh, I don't want to be a journalist." Seriously, I don't want to. I never really wanted to anyway, I just sort of did it because I had to do something. 


And now, here I am, a senior in college and I hate my major. Yeah, that's not good and I know that. Okay, I don't hate it. I just don't love it. I feel that college is supposed to help you figure out your life. Instead, mine just screwed me up. I don't know what I want anymore. Well, that's not true. 


It's been my dream since I was little to do something with books, whether it was to write them or edit them or whatever. I want to be a book publisher. I want to be able to be able to find those stories that stick out to me and help them reach people. "Touch people through the written word" if you will. 

But now, I'm just lost. I can't seem to find the path I'm supposed to be on. This man is me. I feel like I'm standing at an crossroads and I don't know which way to go. 


There are all these signs telling me to go this way, go that way. But where does it all lead? 


I want someone to sit me down and say "Morgan, now this is what you want to do with your life and this is how we're going to make it happen. Just sit back and let us do all the work." I would agree and be on my way to a life that I knew I would enjoy. 


Sadly, I know life does not work like that (no matter how much I wish it would). I can keep hoping and praying that it will all work out or I guess I could do something about it. But what, is my question. 
I just don't want to try something and fail at it. I hate failing, seriously. Yes, I understand we all do it, but still, it kind of sucks. 


I just don't want to fail and end up working a job I hate. I want to find myself. My management professor, Ewest, said that in order to be happy, you need to find a job that fits you, helps you develop as a person. Don't take it for the money, take it because you like it. 


I think I like this man. I need to talk to him some more. He's smart. 


No matter what, I know that I don't want to be in a place that isn't right for me. I'll look and try other jobs out, but I know when it's not right. You just know these things. You know when you're unhappy. 


I suppose that's enough of my late-night ramblings for one night. 

One thing I know for sure: I don't want to end up here, in the middle of nowhere. No one is around for miles. 


That would just get lonely. 


Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.  -Henry David Thoreau

The best years of your life

We are wild and young

We have just begun

So slow it down you move a little too fast

You take a deep breath, you make this last

These should be the best days of your life

So right, so right, tonight

I said we are wild and young

Oh, we are wild and young

Well, her free fall came a little out of the blue

What happened to the days of doing what we wanted to do?

I really, really like this song. A lot. 

I think it inspired me to write this because, well, 

because people my age are taking life way too seriously. 

So many have recently been getting engaged, married, 

thinking about children. 

We have our whole lives to do this! Why now? 

Can't we just take our time? 

What's the rush? 

I know people always say 

"Well, we don't live forever." 

Yeah, I know that. Thanks. 

But still, we do have a life 

so let's LIVE IT!   

A "friend" of mine got married this summer. 

Before we even started our senior year. 

Why? 

Because she's crazy. As is her "husband." 

So weird. 

But seriously.. why now? 

Don't you just want to live? We're young, let's act young! 

"We are wild and young." 

The guy in this song is like me. 

What is the point of settling down right now 

when we're just going to uproot ourselves 

and find jobs. 

Now, we can worry about just us 

instead of us plus one. 

We need to live like it's our last day, every day  

to its fullest. 

I'm just afraid that by settling down early

these people are missing out on some many things. 

We're in college! Let's experience it. 

                 I really like this quote: 

Not to sound corny or anything, but it's true. 

These people are missing out on some 

important rights of passage. 

It's college. Come on. Seriously? 

I'm on the Radio

For real, this girl right here is on the radio.
I have own radio show!
Every Monday, from 6:00-7:00 PM
If you want to listen, go http://www.kwar.org/
and click listen live. It's a hoot.
My friend and I talk about awesome things
and we're quite hilarious.

We talk about Justin Bieber a lot.
Mostly because he's hilariously awful.

That was all I had to say.

Nerd Convention

Okay, I know that might sound a little mean, but seriously. 
I'm sitting in a lounge, which is for STUDYING and these people.. 
only to be classified as strange, nerdlike, or annoying (pick one) congregate 
in the middle of this lounge. Where I am trying to do my homework. 


The way this one girl talks just drives me crazy. She sounds like she's permanently congested. 

Oh my dear lord, they're clucking like chickens. God help me. 

If I prayed, do you think they'd go away?

What I think is funny is that they were dissing Homecoming, while here I sit, with my 
Homecoming committee shirt on, representing the very thing they're making fun of. 
Oh wait! Now they're making fun of Minnesota accents. Awesome. What jerks.


There are five of them, four girls and one guy. The nasally girl, one in a hat 
(when it's 70 degrees outside) and way too bright of a sweater, the loner girl who doesn't talk, the ring leader, and the guy. 


Oh wait, they left so it's all good. I guess that mean I should get back to my homework. 
I missed most of their conversation because I was distracted by a person, who has very nice teeth. Seriously, I can't believe how nice his teeth are. That's the first thing I notice about him every time. Strange. 


He told me to stop being so mean. Sorry, but it's true. They are very annoying/strange people (the group, not nerds in general). Actually, to be quite honest, I'm sort of a nerd. But these people weren't nerd-like, just annoying. So happy Chris? I apologized. 


I suppose I should get back to my homework, since I got to rant about stupid people. 


Do you like how I go from serious blog to fun blog to whatever the hell I feel like it blog? yeah, me too.
