It's a new year

So, I know it's been a new year for 30 days now, but I've been busy. Sorry guys. Does anyone have any cool resolutions this year? I know I did, but I already faltered. I was GOING to delete all of the negative people out of my life, anyone who brings me down just by the thought of them. Well, I didn't end up doing that. However, that's what February 1st is for, right? To reinstate all the things you'd planned to do for the year that you didn't quite stick to in January.

Anyway, my winter break was pretty fantastic, I spent it with some pretty amazing people and I wouldn't have traded it for anything. NYE was a little bit of a let down, but it got better. I got to see my sister, I hadn't seen her since March of 2010. It was amazing to see her!

So, I thought I would share a little poem my friend shared with me.. (:

Enjoy, I know this will get me through (:

In case you need it.

I figured everyone needs a little giggle just in time for finals.

Making these for my cookie swap party in a few weekends. <3

Now get back to your studying, as I am about too. (: Good luck.

Time for finals.

It's that time of the semester. Yep, it's reading week. The dreaded week before finals that we have as a constant reminder that our life is hell for two weeks. This week due to studying, next week due to forgetting everything we studied and talking our finals for the classes we only half listened to all semester.

So, in the spirits of these upcoming nightmares I decided to reflect on what this semester has been.
Crazy.
Fun.
Laughing.
Crying.
Fighting.
Make ups.
Parties.
Relationships.
Break ups.
Oh, you know.. the norms in college.

So basically.. I have this pretty awesome roommate, L, and boy oh boy did we have an awesome semester. You almost can't find one of us without the other, and I'm sure we have plenty of fans and others not so fond. You see, we like to laugh at things we shouldn't, and make huge deals out of everything. We're both only children, so to us, this is okay behavior. Apparently not everyone thinks so, but what do we care, right? Right! (: Oh right, because we're in college, we only live once.. yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. NO, we just know how to have fun. For instance, we have snow on the ground. (And by snow I mean ice.) Our dumbasses decided we should have a little roommate bonding time and go out to get sushi IN heels, IN twenty degree weather. I know, I know you're ridiculously jealous of how smart we are. Not only did we have to walk through the ice, but we also had to scrape it off L's car. (And by we, I mean her. HEHE) Anyway, like I said, pretty awesome roommate.

There have been so many people that have entered and exited my life over the past three months, and one in particular who has entered and hopefully isn't planning on leaving anytime soon.

So, I'll bid all you college goers good luck on your finals and happy studying! (:

Hot beverage weather.

It's that time of year again, lots of snow falling on my college campus. It's so pretty, and for now, worth walking through. It's a whole 28 degrees outside, and this makes me happy? It's time for my list of snowy weather activities to resurface! (: Beginning with making some hot beverage, preferably hot cider. YUM. (:

Some snowman building, of course snowboarding and so many more! Oh, all the things to do.

This is what happens when you raise a girl where it snows, move her to the desert for several years and put her back in snow for college. (: You can't tell me this doesn't tickle your fancy!!

True caring.

For the past week or so, I felt a distance with my friend. We go to college together, but unlike last year, we live in different halls. It could feel like we were on opposite ends of the world.

Sometimes just that is enough for a friendship to weaken once in a while. We just weren't as close. Sure, I had lunch with her at least twice a week, but something just wasn't the same. I figured it was done, we weren't really friends anymore. We didn't talk much, and when we did our conversation was a bit listless. I missed her, a lot.

Then it was the weekend, she was going home to be with her boyfriend. I hate to say it, but sometime I think it's her boyfriend that caused us to be distant. The fact that even when we were hanging out, they'd be texting and he would call her, just minor distractions. It happens though, friends move on to better things. IE, her boyfriend.

And then... I got the text. She wanted to let me know that she'd been in an accident. She was "okay" but they were keeping her in ICU overnight and she had a broken wrist. I was so upset, and I had wanted to be there for her. It made me realize that just because we may not talk as much as we used to, or hang out as much it didn't mean we weren't friends. Sure, she still has her boyfriend, but that doesn't take away a friendship that once stood. But I will always care.




Get better soon, K. We miss you. <3

Hail

The lovely town that I reside in had a hail storm today. At 6:30 in the morning. I sleep next to the window, and of course, I was jolted awake. This hail was awesomely awful. Basically, the size of small dogs.

I was awoken from my state of "almost there" napping when my roommate came home after work obviously NOT happy about something. The hail had dented her car, the last thing that ran through my mind after being woken up at 6:30 in the AM was "Hmm, I wonder if my car is okay..." Of course not, I wondered why in the hell I was awake so early. Oh, joy. Could it be that my car is also dented to all hell?

I couldn't be that lucky, lucky enough to not have dents. Oh no, of course not. We got to my car, and sure enough, there were the dents. JOY. What does my roommate do, after being so upset about her own car? Start laughing and saying "Yay, I'm not the only one. You're car is shitty too!" Wow, thanks roommie!! She's lucky I like her, just saying. (:

Moral of the story, buy parking garage parking permits.

Round two

It's that time of year again, time for classes to start. I'm returning to my lovely college for my second year. I've missed this campus and the people I'd grown close to from last year. The summer was filled with seven day work weeks, and a lovely little vacation to the Philadelphia area. It was a busy time for me and now it's back to school, which means back to working on this guide to my thoughts.

We just had a fire alarm which reminded me of this blog and how much I've missed it. Expect more to come soon. (:
