I enjoy conversation that comes easily. The kind where I don't have to think of what to say next.

I always seem to want a boy for the 4th of July more than any other holiday.....there's just something about sitting under the fireworks with a boy...

One reason

I miss the country because now I can't go outside and take a billion obnoxious pictures of myself with different scenery. If I go outside in town, I may get strange looks from the neighbors.

It's hot out there

I'm at work. And bored. Everyone went to lunch so I'm just staring at my computer screen. I all ready balanced my checkbook.....(now you can see how bored I am)

It's terribly hot outside. 102 degrees to be exact. I had to walk around for a camp we're putting on and I believe I just might have gotten tan.

I might start cleaning off my desk. Or not. I might just work on newspaper articles for next semester.

I'm ready to head home for a few days. Actually, I'm ready to head home for a few months but that won't happen, considering I'm a grow up now and must stay put to earn money.

I'm sorry

This is an apology to all my followers (if those exist) for not writing. Life has a way of getting in the way sometimes. I guess it’s a good sign that I’m not blogging because it means I’m living and don’t have time.

So let me catch you all up on 2011.

I’m now editor of the school paper. I basically was before but now I get a little more pay. I’ve been trying to work on a new layout and get things going so we can have a much better year and hopefully win some awards at the annual conference.

This season of the Bachelorette is amazing.

I'm trying to save money.

I love going to school where I go. I love the people and I cannot believe that I will be a senior. Un.Bee.Leave.A.Bowl. Finals went well and I came out with a 4.0 for Spring Semester.

I've learned a lot.

I'm getting really good at multiple cards games.

I’m still broke. But I now have two jobs that I love! Even if you don’t enjoy the work, it’s the people are really what make a job good and the experience enjoyable. If you don’t like the people you’re working with, you’re going to have a crappy experience most likely. Plus I dog and cat sit randomly, and might be getting a third job which is cleaning an office building once a week with my friend Jocelyn’s family…and newspaper income. So I’ll be okay. Everyone tells me that most college kids have no money in their bank account so I guess I’m doing okay. Just trying to save.

I'm one percent from being underweight.

I'm going to Vegas in September.

I’ve been trying to go home every month to see the family. My mom moved so now we’re somewhere different. It doesn’t bother me except every once in a while. But I’ve just learned that home isn’t the place you’ve grown up in or spent the majority of your time in; it’s where your friends and family are.

I’m still loving life and happy as ever, despite all the rough times that occur. I have a great set of friends and family.

Coming to a conclusion

So it's time I wrap up the year. It's been a VERY good year, and a VERY good semester.

Last year's resolutions
1. Grow up
2. Become more adventurous and willing to take risks
3. Eat healthy
4. Work out
5. Obviously quit leading boys on
6. Quit sayin' freakin and eff
7. Find a sweet guy
8. Figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life
9. Let go of Facebook a little more..
10. Get rid of creepers!
11. Meet new people and make new friends
12. Open up and let others in more
13. Live life to its fullest

1. I met this first goal for sure! I've grown up dramatically I believe. From moving two hours away from home to paying for my own college and everything, to trying coffee and sitting in a scary automobile shop alone, I've definitely grown up!

2. I met this one too! I'm putting myself out there and giving people a chance and I love it!

3. This goal was not met. I chugged pop and ate candy like always.

4. This goal was DEFINITELY not met. There's no time!

5. I might have gotten worse with this one.....Not good!

6. I met this one I think!! I never say eff...Freakin', still need to work on that.

7. I've met some sweet guys this semester but not that one specific guy whom I will date and marry. At least, I don't think so...but who knows.

8. I feel like I'm getting closer to this one. I feel like I'm majoring in the right thing finally and I'm really starting to enjoy it. As for the future after college, that's kind of still a mystery.

9. The facebook thing is iffy. Sometimes I think I'm pretty good of letting go of it...but I still always have to get caught up with my newsfeed when I get back on!

10. I think I've gotten rid of creepers? At least the creepers I had last year! haha!

11. Best goal met this year! I've met soooo many great people at my new college and I love them all. Feels like I've known some of them FOREVER :)

12. I've gotten closer with certain people and have opened up to them so this was kind of met.

13. Most definitely! My friends and I plan so many things to enjoy and we are having an absolute blast!



This year's resolutions so far..I'll add on.

1. Work out
2. Do more caring things for people
3. Eat healthy

Sometimes I feel like I have the best life

I have the best family

I've kept the same friends for as long as I can remember and keep meeting new, amazing people as time goes on...

I am so blessed. I shouldn't complain as much as I do...I shouldn't worry about the little things, like money situations and such.

Ohhhh life :) I adore you.

Last year's resolutions

These were my top three resolutions for last year...and now, we're just going to look at these and reflect...I'm not sure if I met any of these goals!! HA

1. GROW UP - I am a very immature person and very naive. I need to step up and get out in the world and do something with myself..instead of just staying sheltered for the rest of my life.

2. EAT HEALTHY - I'm addicted to sweets, pop, etc. You know, all that horrible stuff for you. Yeah, I eat candy like it's candy. Anyways, I don't think I'll be one of those people to completely cut out pop or something completely for the whole year, but it wouldn't hurt to cut down.

3. BE MORE ADVENTUROUS - I'm not a risk taker. At all. This year I hope to not take things so seriously and not plan everything out. I need to be more spontaneous and just go for something, without having second thoughts.

Just a bunch of random that i've been thinking about

-I've enjoyed laughing hysterically and losing track of time

-life is too, too short to worry about the little things, like getting a C in history...it won't matter in the long run

- i have too many stuffed animals but a lot less stuff in my room than i thought

-those people who don't want you in their life don't deserve you in their life

-i'm becoming obsessed with hot chocolate and hot beverages just recently

-I'm so blessed - my family includes some of the best people

- i kinda want to have someone special around for Christmas...

-Looking back on pictures makes me extremely happy, even if some of those good times are long gone, i'll always have the wonderful memories

-i want a cream winter coat for Christmas and happiness for my family

-I am loving where I'm at. I'm enjoying meeting new people. Bring on the new challenges because I am ready.

Stress..

So since I'm not doing homework, I'll blog. It's not like I don't have homework; I have plenty of things I could be dong....In fact, a whole list...

1. I have a drawing due tomorrow, which isn't even close to being finished.
2. A 2-3 page page, a 3-4 page paper and a presentation all due on the first of December, all for the same class.
3. Lots of cleaning to do in this dorm room
4. A 5-7 page reflection paper
5. training for a job online

And that's just the beginning guys. But here I am, blogging....it's not even like I'm a serious blogger anymore either, so that just shows how much I don't want to do homework!

There are exactly six days until Thanksgiving break, school days that is...then when we return there are ten days left until Christmas....though I might be working during Christmas vacation...exciting right? Another fun thing to fill up my spare time that does not exist.
But here are the things I need to start saving up for, in new particular order:
Tuition for school
books for the next semester
new screen for laptop
new phone with unlimited texting
a new car that isn't older than me
apartment once i grow up

Yeah......My life. It revolves around money....and I have to go Christmas shopping sometime and have a ton of people on my list...it's bad....

I also went through pictures on my computer and deleted a ton....it was sad..going through old memories..

this was a boring one. i don't even care!
