my new obsessions! :)

things i have become obsessed with this year:

Urban Outfitters. i want everything in that store, but sadly can only afford to shop in the clearance section. (Where I got my current COMFORTABLE favorite flats for only 10 dollars!!! thanks anne! :) )

Ben Rector. Recently discovered him (thanks abby!) and he is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Not a well known musician, but has a couple CDs. I think he is a mix between Jack Johnson's style of music and Chris Martin from Coldplay's voice. sooo essentially he is perfect.


It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. This is one of the most funny T.V. shows i've ever seen. I watched every episode of the 5 seasons in the span of like 2 months. Anna showed this show to me. It's on FX and i guess it's been on since like 2005! It is just sooo funny and my kind of humor. Sarcastic and cocky and outrageous and inappropriate in every sense of the word. OH it's funny. Staying inside the t.v. show, the episode I am obsessed with is called "The Nightman Cometh" in which Charlie writes a hilarious musical.

Cute Cast :)


aaaand this is why they're funny:


Liam Hemsworth. He is the lead actor in "The Last Song" (yess with miley cyrus. i like her.) except i hate her in real life cuz she's DATING him in real life. that lucky... Basically he's one of the most attractive actors I have seen in my whole life.

hahah this is a scene from the movie! not a douchebag photo shoot in the mud.


Can't think of any more things right now!

Oh today I tie dyed 4 shirts!!! with friends :) we so craftaaay! (pics coming soon they're not dry yet!)

look at me! i'm a morning person!

ALERT THE MEDIA! It is 6:43am and I am up! I am not going to get into the details of my sleep schedule for embarrassment purposes, but! I have been up since 2am and I have two psych tests on Tuesday (it's currently monday morning) and so I studied for both of those!--well got organized to study them...i went through all my notes and highlighted the things from the Review study guides. So later today I can just go through and memorize yay! and It wasn't even that much stuff so I am feeling a little bit better about having both tests back to back!

So after studying, I took a shower! and Now i'm blogging! I was going to blog at the dining hall, but it doesn't open til 7am...I BEAT THE DINING HALL FOR BREAKFAST! wow. I opened my blinds in my room and the sunrise is currently shining in on me and I feel like such a productive morning person. :) ah, it's kind of blinding me actually. And i've got my latest obsession Ben Rector playing on my itunes and today is going to be a good day!

So the dining hall, I am going to go by myself and get breakfast right at 7! I think i need to do this because in my 2 years of living here with a dining plan, I have never once had breakfast. I feel I should experience at least one. So look at all the good coming out of my awful sleep schedule! :)

I have this theory that my life is really easy so I subconsciously make it harder by things like having bad sleep schedule, slacking in school...etc. It adds spice to my life. It adds pressure. Like if I slack in school, it makes it more of a challenge for me to do well. Of course that sounds stupid, but I believe I do it anyway! If life was perfect and routine and no surprises or mess-ups or stress, it'd be boring.

So I am about to enter into a transition in my life. I am about to turn school from "summer camp" to "adult life". In a little less than two weeks I will no longer live in a dorm!!!!! (excited about this) and i will no longer have a meal plan!!!! (not so excited about this. and I WILL HAVE A CAR!!!! (very excited about this!)

So forget that post that said I get a free dorm room with my job this summer because I definitely don't. but that's okay because I am super excited to be subleasing from Kaitlyn Ritchie (my friend and bible study leader) on East Campus! She has a cool apartment and I will be living with her roommate Jill. I am excited to like have a place that I can walk around in! And while i'm excited for having a kitchen and like not having to make plans with people to go to meals, I am scared out of my mind to cook for myself every single day. ahh! i can't make anything unless it is frozen. We will see how that goes. Also, since I am directionally challenged, I am a little nervous about learning Columbia's roads--even more scared to learn how to drive home by myself! ahh! Okay point being I am transitioning into an ADULT!!!!!

I had a 2 hour brief job training for my desk job yesterday and it went well. I don't think I am going to be getting as many hours as I had hoped, but it will all work out. I may think about getting another job though. My friend Colleen told me she is staying in Columbia this summer which i am SOOO excited about because her house will be right around the corner from me and her and I are big pool-goers so I will have a definite pool buddy:) I am so excited to RELAX this summer--I envision my summer right now as not having a care in the world, being completely stress free. :) yayyy can't wait! Okay I am going to go eat now!! thanks for reading!
