Elephants...?

   So I moved into my new apartment, which is gorgeous, about two or three weeks ago and the elephants upstairs have been getting worse. They aren't home all day but I believe they get home around 7pm or 8pm and they don't walk lightly. I seriously feel like they are going to come through the ceiling. I really hope that they find their damn watering hole soon!
  My other bone to pick with them is the fact that they constantly yell at their poor child. They don't speak english and I believe they are Arabian. They insist on yelling at the young boy mostly between the hours of 8pm-2am. He ends up crying for hours! Oh and the worst part? Their windows are open so you best believe that I can hear everything I just can't understand it.
   I'm thinking about writing them a letter and slipping it under their door. I'm not sure about it thought, I'm not really good at being nice so I'm pretty sure that my letter will come off a little too strong. Here is what I think the letter would sound like:

Dear unit 424,

  I'm writing you this letter to inform you of how loud you are. At night when you walk around I feel like I have elephants living above me because the footsteps are so heavy and you always insist on walking heavy late at night. I didn't know that this apartment complex allowed zoo animals. With that being said, please find your watering hole soon because I can't stand the constant stampeding upstairs. If it's a matter of money I don't mind helping you raise money for a small watering hole.
  Also, I get that children need to be disciplined but letting the child have 30 minutes of free time without you yelling at him would be not only great for him but for the rest of your neighbors. The next time that you plan on yelling at your child make sure that all your windows are closed and that it isn't 1am because the rest of us not only have jobs but don't want to hear about your child going through your room to find a pencil.

Thanks,
Your neighbors

p.s. If you feel that you have wrongly received this letter then please slip it under the door of the couple that insists on screaming at their young child late at night and have elephant tendencies.

Baby....fever....

   I always thought that I didn't want to have kids till I was about 23 or 24. I didn't want to have kids while I was still in high school because I wanted to make sure that I was well educated and could provide for my children and not have to work at McDonalds. When half of the girls in my high school got pregnant including almost all of my friends I didn't jump on the bandwagon, but now that we have all graduated and I'm in college now I don't want to wait any longer. I'm still so young at the age of 19 and I have one more year till I have a bachelors of science that I will receive from Full Sail University but I want to continue on to become a teacher. I've been in a relationship with my fiancee for 2 years now and he wants kids as well but wants to have more money first. I'm with him on that one but it's just hard when your just in that mindset. I got over all the partying and drinking my first year of college. I have been focusing on college and my job and paying rent on time not focusing on how much I can drink and weither I am the best at flip cup (which I must say I am pretty good at). It just feels like I am older than most kids my age. My fiancee and I live 1,400 miles away from our parents so I feel like we are forced to act more mature and have more responsibilities. It's fun and I really enjoy it.
   There is another reason why I can't shake this baby fever. I'm afraid that I will die young and I won't get to experience this wonderful gift. I'm afraid that the love of my life will die tomorrow and I won't have a wonderful little piece of him to carry on. Or I am afraid that in a year I will get into a car accident that will keep me from every having kids. It's hard when you think like that and I get that you aren't supposed to think like that but it's that little thing in the back of your mind.
