I’m feeling a little weird about going out tonight, I’m going to make a post on what happened to me last weekend (sorry guys, you will have to live in suspense until I type it up). I know last weekend I said I had fun (and I did) but something very scary happened to me.
Just to keep it short, I was the victim of a random attack (after the bar) where I was pulled out of my car, choked and got beat up. I swear I am not lying. I had to file a police report and everything and was told that it’s second degree assault. I was not hurt surprisingly though. Luckily my best friend’s BF is a cop and he was at a bar closeby and came and helped. However, I was choked for so long though that I passed out and it took multiple people to get the person off of me.
Sorry sorry sorry but I don’t think I’m allowed to talk about it completely yet (even though I do blog anonymously, I don’t want to chance it and ruin anything with the report). I’m hoping that soon I will be able to talk about what happened. The BF won’t let me drive to the bar tonight, he’s dropping me off and picking me up with all of his friends (because they are all very upset about what happened to me) and they all want to make sure that nothing happens again. I’m glad the BF and his friends care so much. He doesn’t want me to go out tonight (he begged me not to, but it’s my friend’s birthday), but I honestly just want to forget about it and move on. And I’m fine now, I didn’t have any bruises, I was just caught extremely off guard when it happened.
The police officers that I talked to said that hopefully they can get the person’s license plate number from the parking garage security cameras, but they don’t know. I should be finding out soon. I got my neck swabbed for DNA, but I really doubt they will find the people who did this.
This is definitely one of those moments that I’m glad that I have a blog. I haven’t told many people that I personally know about what happened to me last weekend, because honestly, I am very pissed off about the whole situation. And I also don’t want close friends/family to be upset. But it’s nice being able to tell you guys about it.
Good news though, my mom got a job! Many of you already know about my family situation, and my mom hasn’t had a job in forever. After my dad passed, she also then had some health problems, and hasn’t had a job since. She recently started looking, and found one yesterday. Thank god.
And I’m sure you guys have noticed, but I have recently started monetizing from my blog. I promise I don’t just blog for the money, I honestly love reading everyone’s blogs and sharing my life with you guys. The only things you all have probably noticed are the sponsored posts lately, please ignore these. With this extra income, I feel much more stress free now because I’m not freaking out about my student loans as much, thankfully. What’s your opinion on blog advertising?
I have a guest post today up too over here! Please check it out. I was also thinking about taking some volunteers for guest posts. I would like to have some guest posts since I’ll be pretty busy this semester with classes, so I was thinking maybe a couple of guests posts per month? Is anyone interested? Either email me or post here. Of course I would like the post to somewhat relate to my blog (Money, budgets, DIY, recipes, budget fashion, etc), just let me know your idea!
Have a great weekend everyone! Sorry about the not fun post today.

Geez! I'm so glad you're okay! This happened to someone close to me recently. It's so scary. I'm glad you still wanna leave the house…I'd be too scarred.Monetizing is fine. Mine minorly is. I love blogging, but I see no good reason to not make money while you're at it. As long as everything's done ethically I never care,
Christine says
I'm so sorry that happened to you but am very happy you're ok and that you have people around you to take care of and protect you. And I'm sure it's scary, but good for you being brave and going out tonight!

Thank god your ok…by an Anon. I would have missed your posts if anything had happened to you. I guess for now, you should be thinking about taking some type of karate classes, more like self defense or have a pepper spray or taser gun with you while your out, you may never know when you might need one. This world is one crazy place full of weird people lol.

Oh my word indeed. What a horrible experience. I hope they catch that person and he gets time! What a horrible thing to do randomly. I am so glad you're ok and you have people around you that helped you and support you. Congrats on your mother finding a job! That's definitely something to be cheerful about. What kind of work did she find, if you can share that?Stay safe! I wouldn't know what to do without your posts. (I know, I got my priorities straight, dont I?)
