Life Change-Working Out!

I have decided to challenge myself and work out regularly for an entire month. I always start of great, running and working out, but my motivation dies out and after about a week, I just stop completely. Not this quarter. I have challenged myself to work out minimum of 2-3 days a week, and if I can, more. I want to prove it to myself that it can be done and I want to see results after all the handwork I do. I will also refrain from eating fast food and unnecessary junk food and fats. It's gonna be a challenge, especially keeping a clean diet, but with time, my workout routine will become easier. I have enjoyed these two past days so far. I have worked out, and even taken a class, and I am having a great time. I look forward to this change in my life and I hope I see results that motivate me to keep this healthy lifestyle going. I have also noticed that working out has helped boost my mood and self-esteem, so it's a win-win situation. I'm happy..I'm sore..but I'm happy.

Overthinking

When you become infatuated with someone, it is hard not to get carried away and overthink every interaction you have with them. Especially as girls filled with so many emotions and feelings, we can easily replay a moment a million times in our head with different reactions and things we should've said instead of what we actually did say, it is a nightmare; our mind just ponders on past experiences and creates doubts on the smallest things. We get so caught in our head, and it gets in the way of us establishing relationships with others. It's complicated, but I'm learning how to deal with my feelings and to think logically about situations.

Summer Reflection

Summer, a time to enjoy nature and the outdoors; a time to travel and discover the world; a time to overthink life and grow weary. Summer is bittersweet, as it gives me a lot of time to do things, which in turn is a lot of time used for nothing. Summer is a time when I stay home for weeks and deal with the outrageous heat, when I sleep utterly late, watching Netflix non-stop, and contemplate life. This summer was actually way more productive than last year, when I spent two months in Mexico staying indoors and becoming depressed, at least this summer I have slept sometime outside out and about. I got the chance to go to Mexico and travel to the beach, go a couple times to the beach here, attend a free concert, and multiple parties. While my summer was not super productive, at least I spent my time doing something. When I begin to compare my life with others, I begin to grow sad and depressed, in a never ending road to sorrow; but I have learned to realize that doesn't do anything, the life events of others are completely irrelevant and they should not effect the value of my life. I've learned to cope with these feelings, and I have learned to not let it affect me anymore. I don't care. I don't care if others went to Disneyland or Florida, or Sea World, it has no impact on me, as long as I spent time with my family and enjoyed myself, this summer has spent right. I regret nothing I've done this summer as I await school to start in about two weeks, in which I am not really for, I've never been a big people person. I really need to learn how to socialize and hang out with people. I seriously need more friends, REAL friends. School should be fun.

Paying Bills

I should really learn after this to pay my bills on time, before I get charged like 3x extra again. I didn't realize the bank had charged me an overdraft fee on my account, not once, but three damn times, which was a total of over $100. My lack of responsibility caused this, while that money could of been used for gas or something important. It really irks me, but hopefully now, after so many times, I  learn my lesson and stop doing stupid shit. I need to learn to pay things on time, because if I don't, there will be consequences, much worse than the actual thing. 

Good News: Summer Job

It turns out that I got the Summer Residential Advisor Position and I am so happy and grateful. This experience is going to be amazing and I can't wait! It's going to be weird moving in to the dorms again, but I'm glad to help incoming freshman through the process. I am going to be making good money and having fun while doing it! I am grateful for all the great things in my life right now and I couldn't be happier! This summer is going to be awesome!


Ps. I got concert tickets to Empire of the Sun in September, that just made my year even brighter!! :)

Plans for Summer

I always have high hopes for summer, but then summer comes, and I spend my time at home withering away. This year, I'm finally gonna change that and do some awesome things..make it a summer I will never forget. This is the summer before my niece starts college, so we are gonna go out and do some awesome things that we always wanted to do.

These are some,of many, [realistic] ideas for a great summer this year..summer of 2015!

Drinking Stories

College has given me the opportunity to experience so many new things I was not exposed to in high school. I never got invited to parties or had many friends, and college is the complete opposite. I've gone to so many parties and gotten drunk so many times, I'm never completely sure if I've been at a place before. I have so many awesome, hilarious stories of the times I have been drunk and I love it. These memories are what make college memorable. 

One of my recent experiences will be very memorable because I got so drunk that I fell asleep in the bathroom on the floor. I was so afraid that my friends had found me without clothes, especially because a guy was over, but I was relieved my clothes stayed on. I will definitely remember that because I had the worst hangover the day after and I threw up multiple times in a bag in my car, which had a hole in it. 

College has been interesting so far. I'm looking forward to going to my second club party in a couple weeks. It will definitely be memorable.
