You know those days where you're browsing the internet and one thing leads to another and suddenly you're in the black hole of google/youtube. Well, a few days ago after an hour or so browsing the internet, I found myself just googling "puppies for sale SC" and man did that lead to some fantastic results.

I fell in love with a little grey chihuahua puppy named Blue and I can't stop thinking about him.

I've never been one of those people that has the incessant NEED to have a pet in college, but literally ever since last week, I've contemplated getting a sweet little puppy and thinking of ways I could hide it from my landlord who has a pretty strict "no pets" policy.

I know that it isn't the best time for me to get a dog anyway.

Once school starts I will be gone all day and I would feel bad leaving it alone all the time. I don't exercise, myself, so I don't know what makes me think that I'll have the motivation to take a dog out for a walk.

However in the back of my mind, I'm telling myself, I won't be gone so long every day since I have breaks in between classes. A small dog doesn't need much exercise.

Also, I would most likely spend every waking moment with that little bean scooped up in my arms. Not to mention that you would be giving a dog it's forever home and it wouldn't have to sit around aimlessly in a shelter/kennel wondering if anyone is going to choose them today.

Do you see how I'm conflicted?

I know that it won't happen, I won't get a dog until I'm living alone post-grad, but it's nice to imagine!

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.
