Happy Thanksgiving



I know I usually post on Thursdays but yesterday was Thanksgiving and I wanted to fully be in the moment and make memories with my family. On that note, I have been so blessed this past year to have wonderful people and opportunities in my life. I am most grateful for my family because they have been my support system my entire life and I am really starting to see the effects of that and appreciating it so much more than I used to. I am also grateful for every person that has ever been in my life because they have helped shape who I am today. A few months ago I was feeling really down on myself because I realized that I am going to have to say goodbye to my boyfriend for 2 years and my very best friend lives on the other side of the country. Then I got to thinking "how would my life be if I didn't have these people?" and I honestly have no idea and I wouldn't as for it any other way. That made me appreciate them so much more because I know that they were placed in my life to help me through the tough times along with my family. I love them both so much and I am so fortunate to have them. I am also grateful for the opportunity I have been given to go to school. I am so excited to be in a new place with new people and more opportunities to learn and grow.  I'll be posting something about that when I move which will really explain everything. Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Don't forget to stop and smell the roses every now and then; you'll never see the beauty around you if you don't look. I'll be back with another dose of Vitamin "C" next week!

When life gives you (sour) lemons...

This week started out very difficult. My dad was having health problems, my work days felt longer than ever before and on top of that I locked my keys in my car....and it was only Tuesday! Since then I have been determined to turn it all around. Yesterday morning I got up and I said I am going to have a great day. I really did. This week I really learned what Hannah Montana meant when she said "Life's what you make it, so let's make it rock" The last few days held little victories for myself and others who I surrounded me. I got most of my college stuff figured out, all of my housing plans have been finalized and one of my students finally got off the bus by herself today! The sweet moments in my life have balanced out the sour ones and have put a better taste in my mouth as the week comes to a close. Make sure you always have sugar and water on hand because when life gives you some of it's sour lemons, through time, patience and a little hard work, your lemona...

Happy New Year from the North Pole!

Well I have finally settled into my apartment and I am ready to begin the new year in a new place!! My new year's resolutions for this year are: Worry less. Live more. Be happy. 2016 was filled with new adventures and major changes. I started 2017 by leaving home and starting college. I was so sad to leave but being here now has helped me realize my pure excitement to be here. I have lived in such a small corner of the universe my whole life and it was the hardest thing I have ever looked forward to doing. I really want to take advantage of this amazing opportunity that has been placed before me and give it my all. So far this place has been beautiful but it sure has been cold. Like 4 degrees outside when I woke up this morning cold. Being from the Oregon "wetlands" I am not used to this icy weather but boy I sure love the beauty of it. I hope everyone had the happiest of holidays. No matter where this year takes you, look at it as opportunity to seek adventure, lear...

Dear High School Seniors...

    It's has been a while since I have been here. I have been very busy with a new semester, starting a new job at a call center and just figuring out my life. I keep thinking of where I was this time last year. I was finishing out my senior year of high school and everything after prom is just a blur. It went by so fast and I didn't take the time to really reflect because I was too busy wishing away the last few months of high school. I wanted to take a few minutes to address the Class of 2017.  Dear High School Seniors,      I know that you are probably over this whole high school garbage. I remember feeling the exact same way. I was ready to move on and start my life. I'm not saying that I want to go back but I am saying that things are very different now than what I thought they would be when I graduated.       The last first day of school is over, your last homecoming in gone, everyone came to see you on senior night, the m...
