Long Time No See

It's easy to forget how much you love something until you get back into it.

Long Time No See


Wow, I feel like I haven't written in a while…I've been going through it. I returned home for a while for the summer just to spend time with my family and friends, spend time in my city and most importantly- hold my dogs.

Writing has become such a release for me, and sometimes I forget it's my job to publish each week. It's just one of those things- once you start getting in a rhythm or routine and then you skip that routine…you feel weird. But I am back, I am fresh, and I am fine!

Sometimes going home is too hard for me…but only because I know I will have to say goodbye soon and then head back to my college town and get back to work and unfortunately my online classes *cries*. But ALSO the wonderful thing about home is knowing that I have two homes: one on the west coast and one in the midwest. I am so thankful that I was able to travel around the United States and spend so much time in these lovely airports (lol). I love being able to go between my different lives; at home I am the college girl home for a while and everyone tries to get a minute with me before I depart again, and then back in my college town, I am the girl who practically never leaves.

The main thing I've learned through this time without my normal routine is self love! Remember to take time for yourself! Remember we can only project the kindness, feelings and energy that we manifest and support our own selves with. We have to know who we are and what were wanting to accomplish. And there is SO much I still want to do, see, and get DONE! This time of the year is weird for me especially- I am heading into my last year of college, and last year of absolute freedom because (hopefully) I will be employed by next Fall!

HEY, I am back.

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, but I'm back and better than ever!!

Be kind, Be you, Be true.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
