Dr. Who

I love Dr. Who so much. 

Matt Smith is absolutely fantastic as the Doctor and just watching it helps calm me down from first day of school jitters. I found these awesome Dr. Who fan pics that I must share.

First Night...

Well here I sit in my dorm room. almost 10pm Eastern time. and I'm tired.

Spent all day moving in and getting situated to make my home for the next 4 months feel more....homey

I've got 2 other roommates and one on the way.

I know absolutely no one here and am still FREAKING out. 

I'm so shy and the worst at meeting people.

Tips on how to make friends, anyone? Do I need to revert back to my kindergarten ways?

I hate being the new kid on campus, new kid in the dorm, and just being new.

change sucks. I hate it.

I've met one person in the entire dorm so far and he's on the football team (very nice. I envy his confidence...). My roommates are off with their boyfriends. And single me is alone.

classes start tomorrow and I'm excited to actually MEET people.

2 French classes and a science class. I hope I'm up to par with the French here :/

First day jitters = my worst enemy.

well, Shower time.

to new beginnings, new friends, and getting closer to my degree

I'm Scared.

Alright. I admit it. I'm scared to death about leaving for BG.

There. I said it.

I've been constantly telling everyone how excited I am and happy to leave and move back out and away from my family. All the while, in the back of my mind I keep telling myself how I wont know a soul, classes will be hard, I wont know where anything is, and will fail.

I'm leaving my friends, my family, my city life, and my jobs to get something a lot of people would do anything to get: an education.

I should be so entirely grateful to be getting an education and all I'm doing is crying over how I'll be so alone. I need to buck up and realize that that is NOT what I'm going to school for. I'm going to get an education so I can move on from school, get a job, and continue on with what I hope will be the best years of my life. 

The faster I finish school the faster I can hop on a plane and just go away.

That is what I need to keep telling myself.

Fresh Start

Resolutions? 

I have a few...

when I make "to-do" lists, FINISH them.

stay in touch

laugh at mistakes

forget what others think and quit being so shy

learn to love

I will be leaving Thursday for BGSU, and still have no idea where and who I will be living with (we'll see how this turns out). I just want to be done with school so I can travel. I should be graduating this spring and yet I'm starting fresh at a new university going on junior year number 2.

I really hope I made the right school/major/life choice.

NYE started the year off on the wrong and somewhat "lame" foot. Between fending off creepo older guys trying to dance and kiss me, and holding back a drunk friends hair while she puked in a pitcher (while I remained sober), I'd say New Years was a little less than perfect. I just hope that means this year will be amazing. 

No matter, any year will be better than 2010-2011. 

 I hope 2012 brings you happiness, courage, love, and everything you deserve.

to new life, new friends, and new adventures

Just rediscovered this song on my iTunes and instantly fell back in love with it.

Happy Christmas

Well Christmas wasn't all it's cracked up to be this year. 

but between the loud, stubborn, and drunken family members, I'd say it was just another Christmas.

My mom and brother just left for Ohio while my dad and I are left home, fending for ourselves for Christmas dinner, and there isn't a single snowflake on the ground.

In the words of Charlie Brown

"UUUUHHHHGGGGGG!!!!"
I work tomorrow, which is why my dad and I wont leave for Ohio until Tuesday, and it will be my last day until I come home for summer (yay!).
Though this Christmas season hasn't been as magical as years past, it has still been a great Christmas that I can't complain about. Not only am I around people I love and that love me, but I have also been receiving e-mails with kind words from complete and total strangers, complimenting me on on my 8tracks mixes and commenting on my blog posts. It's reassuring to hear people tell me they feel the same as I do this time of year, or that my music has helped get them get in the spirit of Christmas.
It's e-mails and comments like those that have put an extra touch of magic in Christmas this year. 

so thank you.

thank you thank you thank you thank you

This Christmas

Normally, this time of year I'd be going ape shit over Christmas and all the festivities involved. However, it doesn't even feel like Christmas, and yet, it's Christmas eve.

To help get me in the spirit (and hopefully you as well) I made a  Christmas playlist featuring all my holiday favorites, new and old. 

I don't know if it is the lack of snow, not being with family on Christmas day, or my nerves acting up about starting fresh at BGSU.

But for some reason I just feel like a Charlie Brown this season

and no one likes a Charlie Brown on Christmas...

 

or maybe it's the lack of love in my life...

 

Happy Christmas,

Costume

For Halloween this year I dressed as a two-faced, Jekyll and Hyde kind of person.

Kiss of Bliss

This weekend I visited Bowling Green State University in Ohio

and it was absolutely, totally, and completely amazing.

The program sounds excellent, they can set me up with an internship starting next summer, I will be given TWO scholarships, and a study abroad trip to Paris could be in store.

I feel overwhelmed with euphoria.

All that is left is to visit NIU and meet with faculty there

However, I can't see how it could possibly beat out BG.

Perfectly Parted

I have become obsessed with long, straight part hairstyles lately. There is something so simply chic about these looks. Seems like hardly any work is involved, too. (my kind of style)

Here are some I'm digging.

September

Well it's now September and I have officially gained control of my life.

FINALLY

Next week I am starting a boot camp work out routine which will surly kick my butt. This fall calls for a healthier lifestyle now that I have my school situation figured out. This link is amazing to know about what good certain foods can do to your body. 

Yay Health!

I'm excited to see my new, healthy self at the end of this month.

This weekend I'm BGSU bound to look at the school and their communication program. 

Windows down, open road, and golden trees.

This will be part of my playlist.

Right now I am curled up in bed, with Cleo laying next to me, which means it's time for bed

Happy September
