As a matter of fact...

I have come to terms with the fact that I learn more and more about myself everyday. Let's just say college has that effect on some people...things change. That's for sure!


1. I am officially an outsider when drama forms. I used to be the type to get offended by the little things that were said but I have become stronger and I now keep my mouth shut when dramatic situations arise. I have learned that minding my own business is the way to go and will take me farther in life!


2. College is my absolute #1 priority right now. Do I still procrastinate? Of course I do and probably always will. The thing about that though is that I get my crap done. For example, I am writing this with my eyelids half open. I was up 'til 3:30 this morning writing two essays that I had assigned to me a little over a week ago. I waited until just last night to complete them but I DID get them done! My schoolwork is crucial to me right now and I plan on receiving straight A's this semester. I'll get back to you on this...


3. I am 96% sure that I want to switch from a nursing major to a radiology major. You all know how well I deal with....VOMIT. Throw up, puke, upchuck, barf-- I don't care how you put it, I CANNOT handle it. That is where half my anxiety comes from so I had to accept the fact that nursing= ^that nasty word. But I still want to be in the medical field.. and I could live on studying anatomy for the rest of all time so I decided radiology would be perfect


4. I am proud to announce that I have an obsession with my iTouch. The games on that thing keep me sane... well unless I'm losing at Bubble Buster then that's a totally different story. Music is also something that is very therapeutic for me so all in all, my iTouch is ALWAYS with me! While working out especially, but even in my room or on-the-go. I love it.


5. I might just be someone who worries about the dumbest things possible. Driving down the road, I worry that a driver is texting 14 miles ahead of us and could possibly hit us within the next 20 minutes. Before I go to sleep at night I worry that what IF I wake up with the stomach flu and I can't make it to class the next morning? Or here's a good one: sitting in a restaurant, I previously checked my account and am SURE I have plenty of money, but just what IF it gets declined and the waiter/tress starts to laugh at me? Yes, it is THAT bad. I worry about everything and anything at all hours of the day.. and I mean all hours. Any normal person would take some medicine to get rid of such bad anxiety.. but guess what? Taking medicine gives me anxiety. I'm SOL..Thanks for your genes mom.


6. I have always known that my boyfriend tops them ALL and he is so wonderful but it wasn't that long ago that I realized that I could live with this person for the rest of my life. He treats me like gold and I feel so loved when I'm with him. Over the past few months, I have had some really hard time adjusting with being so far away from home and he does nothing but bring me back up to high spirits and tell me everything is going to be okay! He is my rock. I could not possibly ask for a better way to live my life other than to spend it with my best friend! Love you babe.


7. I am letting my hair grow back out to the way it was sophomore year. 
I have "been there-done that" with the whole short inverted bob and my hair grows back out the next week and it costs me a fortune to actually keep up with the real haircut. Oh and we can't forget the ponytail crisis I have when that haircut is in action. When I can't put my hair into a ponytail or up in any way-- well once again, my anxiety starts to kick in a little. A ponytail or anyway to get my hair out of my face is crucial! So, I am on my way to longer hair; it is in progress! 
Update: a little past the shoulders is what we are currently working with here!

8. I could not ever wish for a better roommate. There are obviously times where we bicker and whine at each other but for the most part, we get along great! People compliment us on our awesome relationship. Amanda has my back whenever she may think I need advice or assistance on anything-- and I mean anything! She is the best. I have had such great times with her this semester. We've known each other since the 7th grade and the memories we have with each other would have you rolling on the floor.. we have the best of times together and I would do absolutely anything in this world for her!

9. So, back to my anxiety. Not to moan and groan about it at all.. I am actually here now to boast about my weight loss, though if I lose a whole lot more I will start to worry ( of course! ) Ever since I have moved 4 hours away from home, I have had a lot of adjusting to do. In the meantime, I have been working out but not enough to be losing 15 lbs and counting. I'm not complaining because I did want to lose a little bit of weight to be perfectly content with myself so I am trying to keep my weight balanced where it's at right now. I was wondering why the doritos, cheddar cheese pringles, ramen noodles, and the fresca/mountain dew weren't having the opposite effect on me!

10. I want to rush next year. As of right now, I plan on transferring from Armstrong. Where? I'm not sure yet. I have some schools in mind but won't mention those quite yet. I want to get out though wherever I do end up attending and rush into a sorority. I used to never see myself being that sorority girl but as I have already gone through a semester and a half of college, I think it's best for me to try it out! I love meeting new people. I love partying (not too hard), and I love to have a good time with my close friends so heck- why not right?

11. I want my own dog. ASAP. I am a dog lover and everyone knows it. I have never gone through a long period of time in my life without my family owning a dog so I don't think I ever could. They are such sweet companions to have around. I have figured out that I want a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever-- you're thinking.. what did you just say? Well here's a picture of the precious thing.






























12. I was thinking the other day-- Man, mom and I are always on the phone. When we talk on the phone, it's never just for a 5 minute conversation. Never fails that our conversations  range from 45 minutes up to over and hour. We always have something to talk about and I love it. I always look forward to our daily conversations and she is always there to listen to my daily news. Missing her and my family as much as I do, daily phone calls help alot :)




Well, that's all for now, my next & last class of the day is quickly approching.
Stay tuned for new posts!!
