Say my name, say my name, wear it out

This past week was the first week of second semester with new classes and professors. I have to admit that it felt nice to get a new routine. As much as I love just bumming it in front of the TV, with snacks, it feels good to have actual things to do. I could be talking too soon though because I'm sure that when all the hard work and big assignments begin I will start hating school again. On another note— everything has been going smoothly. I bought myself a pair of TOMS the other day. Even though I am a "poor college student" I still try to give back whenever I can, you know buy a pretzel for a dollar or drop some coins in a can somewhere lol but even better to give back by buying a pair of shoes. I got the classic style just canvas in ash grey. I am a whore for the color grey, I love wearing it, seeing people (mainly boys in v-neck sweaters in it), and I just think it's sophisticated like black but with an edge ha. Other than walking up to town to take care of my financial needs with a bank visit, and stopping to look in the local boutiques (where I bought my shoes), I have just been keeping busy by organizing myself for the new semester. I have been thinking a lot about next year, even though this one just started, and really focusing on narrowing down what I want to do with my life. I have to start thinking of where I want to go to grad school and where can I get an internship for my minor and will my hair ever grow longer again because this growing process sucks and is taking forever since I had to cut it short last year ha... Well I am off to enjoy some Take5 (only the best candy bar on EARTH) and unwind before bed. I wish you all a relaxing week and hopefully you're sticking to any resolutions you've made. I mean it has only been about a month, you can't give up just yet!

Serene state of mind

So, I am back at my place in school just kind of chilling by myself cuz I came back to work this week and I am actually enjoying winter. Now, we all know how us summer babies can be, cold= no, warm=yes. But I turned my desk around to face the window dead on and the snow looks so pretty outside blowing around, like a wisp in the air. Haha just been munching to pass the time but I really do enjoy the time alone. I am dreading my classes next week and I have to take the Praxis this weekend. I feel like I have to do all this preparing when it comes down to it is worth nothing. It's like have you ever prepared for a class; notebook, pen or pencil, and hard surface to press on check; that you realize you forgot the most important thing to bring above all is your textbook and highlighter?!
Well that's the feeling that I get during my first week of classes ha.
I really hope I keep up with this updating streak. I forget sometimes how good it feels to write, to just let thoughts flow.

Resolution: Update blog more, stay slim, and GO TO BED

It is around the holidays that you can spot me sitting around our kitchen island munching on my second to third snack of the hour without a care in the world. I don't know what it is, the comfort of home or deliciousness and knowing that there is a fridge directly behind me with my mother's cooking, but I always seem to find myself eating all the time. I have always been relatively thin ok flat out skinny, but I do not want my bad habits manifest into an ugly waist line. So, one of my resolutions is to eat healthy and improve on my poor snack choices. The other... update this thing more frequently. Many times I find myself browsing all my favorite blogs and right-click saving photos but never get around to updating mine. I want to one day write for a magazine or blog professionally so I better get in the habit of good updating... Oh and I need to start to going to bed at a decent hour. Lack of beauty rest= lack of youthfulness= looking like an old hag
Christmas came and went after a slew of late night shopping and gift wrapping and I am pleased to say all went well on the joyous day. Family was happy with their gifts, I didn't ask for much since my parents are covering 90% of my college expenses as of now but the bits I did get were nice. I got a lovely sweater, shirt, pajamas, and jewelry. The touch (my gift to me) has been awesome and I am still in search of fun apps; there are so many out there I don't know which to download!
Above are waaaay overdue outfits, I should prob just start a lookbook account and link it here but that'll be for another time, and random photos that I've been viewing. Tumblr ceases to amaze me, there are so many out there with inspiring photos.
It's a new year and I a (as I am sure all of you are) am in need of a fresh start. SO cheers to you and all those you love. Let's bring in the new year with good health and happiness.
