Keeping Up: Week 2

Website, Instagram, Blog... It's happening!

Another week has passed, and I have to admit, I was horrible at keeping a video log this week! So much so, that I don't have enough material to give you all a video... so instead I am going to talk about my "wins" and "losses" this week! Wins are things that I have achieved this week, or general positive things that happened. Losses are goals that didn't go as planned, or stressful moments throughout my week. For example, not keeping a sufficient video log was an epic #lossoverwin

However, I do want to share a MAJOR win with you all this week!! I FINALLY created my own website/blog!! I'm still working out some kinks, and I am still working on buying the website domain, but it's finished for the most part :) and on top of that, I now have a Youtube channel you can follow, and an Instagram! Let me explain why I am so excited for this major chapter in my life...

I have always wanted to keep up my own blog, but the problem has been that I wasn't self-motivated enough, or self-disciplined enough to keep with it. Now that I have been processing my inner turmoils and voicing them on The Odyssey Online, I've found the courage to actually keep my goals and move forward to a better life.

More wins for me this week include the continuous achieving of my goal to visit the gym for at least three days a week. This week my roommate and I have pledged to add a fourth day and see how we feel. I recognize that I just feel 100% better and more clear-headed after I exercise, I feel like I could accomplish anything! I'm also more likely to reach for the healthier options when I get my exercise in than when I am sitting around all the time. Also, I find myself getting restless in classes that extend past 2 hours, whereas before i would be able to sit through a six hour class, no problem.

For those who would like to follow, I will be posting throughout the week on both my personal blog and my Instagram.

In the mean time, I'd love to hear about some of YOUR #wins and #losses

Letter To My High School Friend Group

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
