First week of college!

























Well I did it guys! I survived my first week as a college student! So far my History of Education class is my favorite and I love all my teachers they are all great! Even though my mornings start out with -15 degree weather this place is beautiful and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I have been given to attend school here. Back to the cold weather. Being from the valley of Oregon I am not built for this kind of weather! (picture of me with hand warmers on my face) However this kind of cold is different than the Oregon rain cold. I'm surprised by how warm I have actually been. This has also been the most I have ever walked in 1 week in my whole life. I currently average about 5-6 miles a day except for the almost 27,000 steps day! It  has been crazy how much I have learned already about myself and others. I am so excited for this new adventure. It is still very weird being away from home but I am so happy and thankful for this amazing opportunity. If some kind of change is happening to you, take advantage of it! It will be so rewarding if you face it head on and then enjoy the ride! Catch ya next week for another dose of Vitamin "C"!

Master The Day!

I need to be a little more adventurous. I have my routine and that is good but I could put myself out there a little more because nothing grows in the comfort zone! So yesterday me and some friends went to a Lip Sync battle and somebody was going to pay the performance fee for all of us to do it. This is something that usually I would have just sat back and watched. In the moment I decided that I had nothing to lose! So we went up on stage to perform "What makes you beautiful" by One Direction. It was embarrassing and wasn't the greatest performance of my life but I had so much fun and that will be such a fun memory to look back and laugh about.  I have made a major change in my life in the last few weeks (literally). I changed my major to General Studies but I'm the type of person who doesn't like to waste time or money on something I know I won't use so I keep thinking about what I should try to pursue and this was so not the week to do that.

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...
