Don't Stop Believing

Sometimes I think I take life too seriously and other days, I don't take life serious enough. I understand that I am young and have plenty of years ahead of me, but I don't want to miss an opportunity.

Lately, I've been scared of falling in love. I don't want to waste time with the wrong person. I don't want to give all I've got to find it all thrown away. I understand that all guys aren't the same, but we'll see if someone can prove that to me and sweep me off my feet.

I'm honestly not looking for a relationship right now or willing to settle down. If someone came along and changed everything, maybe- but right now, I'm just doing me.

I did awesome my first semester of college then fell apart during my second semester. I'm not only embarrassed of myself, but disappointed. I made a promise to myself to focus on what's important. I could care less in high school and I never want to gain that mentality ever again, especially now that I'm in college.

Besides gaining focus of what is important, I've recognized things that make me really happy..

• Conversations with Rob
  -He understands me better than most. I can always count on him and love hearing his opinion.
• Glee!
  -It's my new addiction. I mean c'mon.. Hello Finn & Noah! I secretly wish my life was a musical.
• Slurpees
  -I've been drinking at least two a day with my official diagnosis of bronchitis.
• Notes on my receipts when I waitress
  -It's encouraging. It's the little things that make me happy.
• Neon shorts
  -Enough said.
• All my new friends at Scramblers
  -Regardless of random kitchen melt-downs, we are a family and family sticks together.
• The colors: purple & blue
  -I'm obsessed with them! They're cool colors and I just enjoy them. Don't judge me! :)
• Red Hair
  -I'm sticking with it this time. I don't know why I even changed it.
• Blue Eyes
  -I'm a sucker for boys with blue eyes.
• Second Chances
  -You individuals know who you are. Please don't make me regret it!
• Sam & Evan
  -Ev left for the Army and Sam has been his biggest fan. I want a love like theirs.
• Gummy Worms
  -My brother just bought me some & I'm stuffing my face. Get over it.
  
  Spring classes, Kalahari, The Avengers, Alexa's play and the Mother/Daughter banquet are all this month!

Let's see what God has in store for me this month.. let's hope for lots of flowers! ;)

Nothing is Better!

Nothing is better than driving around with a Darth Vader mask on.

Nothing is better than taking 7 pictures with random strangers, while I'm dressed up as Queen A (from Star Wars) at work.

Nothing is better than cuddling in bed with my kitten after a long day.

Nothing is better than Channing Tatum with his shirt off.

Nothing is better than the smell of a new book when you flip the pages really fast.

Nothing is better than orange juice when you first wake up.

Nothing is better than "What I Know (Cover)" by: TwentyforSeven

&& nothing is better than Jesus Christ waking me up, to a beautiful day.

It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving to be thankful.

I know I should be working on my project right now, but I just have so much that I am incredibly happy & thankful for. I literally cannot stop smiling and singing. I can my happiness glowing on my skin like a nice summer tan.

I just love my life & the people in it, I really do.

My reasons:

J Squared ; my favorite duo. I remember starting work, thinking- Wowzers! They really hate each other & looking now, I do not know if I could find another friendship that cares for each other so much like they do. It's awesome. I love them. I know that if I ever needed them, they'd be there. If I needed to cry my eyes out, Jaime would probably laugh then hug me while Jazz punches her in the face.. it's all good. ;) They're both beautiful girls with beautiful hearts & I'm blessed to have them in my life.

Brianna's 21st birthday ; is coming up & I've been having a blast getting shenanigans ready for that with my brother (her boyfriend). She deserves a great day (or week) for her birthday and we're gonna give it to her.

Scoring a 203 out of 200 on my final exam? I think that's enough said right there!

My family ; my backbone. We've gone through a lot recently and I truly couldn't be more thankful than I am to have them in my life. God gave me the best parents I could ever ask for and He knew that I needed Drew & Ryan to keep me inline. They're the reason I have the biggest heart.

My job ; my second home. As much drama goes down there, we have each other at the end of the day. I have made so many relationships there with people and customers- I am beyond blessed with such a great job that I can be myself & be accepted- for who I am, what I believe and what I do. They work with me, keep me level headed & always make me laugh.. sometimes even pee.

Ashley, Brianna & Sam ; my three best friends. I cannot go a day without talking to all three of them. I don't even know what I'd do without any of them in my life. All three are so different, but so alike. So beautiful & unique! I am so thankful they put up with me and continue to love me every day.

Christmas Shopping ; because I am a big time giver. I spoil the crap out of my lovelies >:)

Jesus Christ ; my reason for every breath I take & the the true reason to celebrate Christmas.
