Happily Ever After

I'm spending this beautiful Tuesday morning at one of my favorite places in this world... Panera. There is absolutely nothing like starting your day off with a Panera breakfast!


I hope that y'all have found yourselves enjoying a beautiful morning too, wherever you may be! Today I want to challenge you to do something just for you. Do something that you enjoy, something that will make you happy. We all need to treat ourselves from time to time and sometimes we forget that.

DAY 13: GOALS

My goals may not be like the usual person's goals. Yes, I do want an affluent career. Yes, I want my career to be something I really enjoy. But most importantly my goal is to live my life. I want to be spontaneous, do things that I want to do. You only live once and I refuse to have a single regret. I want to travel, I want to fall madly in love, I want to start my own family, I want to make a difference (even if it's small). 

Biggest goal ever... Make it big on a talk show... Kelly Rippa's job would be ideal. 

Most of all, I want to live happily ever after. Cliche? Maybe. But honestly, who would turn this dream down?

What are some of your goals?

Must Haves

Monday, Monday, Monday.

The lucky thing about this Monday is that there is only ONE MORE Monday until Spring Break!!! I hope y'all will be able to survive the next couple of weeks before your Spring Break too, we can do this!

DAY 12: Something you don't leave your house without.

These are probably the items that I try to make sure to constantly have on me (and my cell phone, of course!).

1) Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion.... Bath & Body Works.
2) Mascara.... Maybelline.
3) My debit card.
4) My school id.
5) My passport. I lost my driver's license one night so I am using my passport for the time being. People really love when you whip that thing out to show you are 21.
6) My sunglasses... never know when the sun is going to come shining through!
7) Car Keys & Coach ID holder w/ my Panera Card inside.
8) Burt's Bees Lip Balm.
9) A pen.

What are some things y'all don't leave home without?

Quotes

Can't believe we've somehow made it back to Monday again! I've tried to have the outlook that Mondays are a fresh start and maybe not so terrible... the keyword there being "tried". I hope everyone had a great weekend & got to enjoy some snow! 

Our Norts and Sports quad was quite the dance party and filled with neons. 

My absolute favorite picture from the night.

My little & I

On to the daily blog challenge. DAY 11: A quote you love

I am HUGE in to quotes, so just narrowing it down to one is absolutely impossible.I like to paint canvases with different quotes on them to decorate my room (this is also a great gift for friends and family). 




"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or be who we are."
 -Sex & the City

Autophobia

Happy Thursday y'all!!!

First of all, I hope that everyone had the best Valentine's Day yet and got to spend the day with all of the people they love. I am so excited for this weekend I can't even stand it! Big plans with some of my favorite people & we have a "Norts & Sports" quad tonight... this mixer theme includes all my favorite articles of clothing... fun patterned norts (nike shorts), frat tank & neon frat hat. Can't wait to share the pictures with y'all!!!

On to the Blog Challenge... Day 9 was "a favorite picture of your best friend" but I think that is kind of creepy. So, on to...

DAY 10: Something you're afraid of.
Naturally, like many other people, I am absolutely terrified of spiders. Tiny, tarantula and everything in between. They are literally AWFUL and I wouldn't mind if they all became extinct, at least from my life anyways. 

However, there is something that I am much more afraid of and that is the fear of being alone.


 I'm not talking about the fear of never having a significant other, although that plays a part as well, but just the fact of being alone with out friends and family. As you can probably tell from my previous blog posts my family and friends mean EVERYTHING to me. The thought of them no longer being in my life absolutely terrifies me. I generally like to be around others, except for during those rare sad mood days where I like to pop in a movie and cry the sadness away. Eating dinner alone? No thank you! I am in a constant need to be around the people I love. I am a crowd person... Disney World on peak days... why not? Being around others just fills me with happiness and I can't imagine having to be in this world completely alone.

Take Me There, I Wanna Go There

Monday, Monday, Monday. I don't know about y'all, but my Monday started off with sleeping through an alarm clock, which is NEVER fun & leads to lots of rushing around and panic.Good news, I didn't give up and go back to bed, I quickly jumped up and began going on with my day.

DAY 8: A Place You've Traveled to & Where Else You Want to Travel

My most favorite place to travel to is where I like to call my second home... Disney World. My family & I have stayed at the Grand Floridian, Polynesian, All-Star Resort, Yacht Club and, finally, the Boardwalk Villas (the villas are the best).

Boardwalk at Night
Family :) 
Disney World is where my family & I have made so many magical memories. My childhood is filled with trips to this wonderful place. I couldn't thank my Mom and Dad enough for all the wonderful times we've had there. I have danced on the Tomorrowland stage in Magic Kingdom with my dance studio & it was an awesome experience. I can't wait to take my own family there one day & make all of their dreams come true.


My Sorority Sisters & I visited Magic Kingdom
one day during Spring Break.
I have also gotten to go to Disney World with
two of my best friends, Kristin & Kelsey.  

It is so hard to narrow it down to one place I would like to visit. My ideal would be getting the opportunity to travel the world. But I suppose there is one place that stands out the most and that would be Greece. I think this is a beautiful country and I would love to visit it one day.

Take me there, I wanna go there!

Happiness: The Key to a Wonderful Life

Happy lazy Sunday y'all! I absolutely love the weekends because of all the time I get to spend with my friends doing things that we enjoy. We went to see The Vow on Friday and it was extremely good, I mean anything with Channing in it is amazing. One of my favorite quotes from the movie was: "Life's all about moments of impacts and how they change our lives forever".  MUST paint it on a canvas soon!

On to the blog challenge...

DAY 7: What Makes You Happy

I could probably go on for days about the different things that make me happy. I love to laugh, smile and I always try to look on the bright side of things. I'm just going to hit some highlights...
