7 Things I'm Looking Forward To For Christmas Break

@biblesandcoffee

As I approach dead week and finals week here at the lovely University of Kentucky, there are certain things that are fueling me, motivating me to finish this semester strong. I am stressed out more than I have ever been throughout all my college career and I am losing the motivation to even care about school at this point. I have been stressed out over minimal things that seem deceivingly important at the time, but from a long-term perspective, they really don't matter all that much. Perhaps there are more people out there in the world that feels the same that I do, in that case, I am not alone in this endless void.

This is a list of things that are keeping me motivated for the break coming up.

1. God! God is always my #1

God loves us so much and because He loves us so much, He deserves all of our praise and all our love.

1. My family! Mi familia!

Sometimes I get tired of them, but my family is by my side no matter what. They will be the ones cheering for me at my graduation and at my future wedding.

3. Good food!

This will be me during the break!

4. Good sleep!

This dude is tired! This semester has wore me out. College consumes a lot of my energy. I'm going to sleep in late all break and periodically take naps.

5. HARRY POTTER MARATHON!!!!!

I am going to have a Harry Potter marathon, because I like Harry Potter and I am still waiting on my Hogwarts acceptance letter.

6. Doing a little drinkin' !!!!

I usually have a little wine, a little Jack Pepper (bourbon and Dr. Pepper), maybe a little beer. There is nothing like chilling with a drink in your hand.

7. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

No lie, I have been wearing sweatpants every day since it got cold here in Lexington. I will continue to wear sweatpants worn until term resumes. Why? They are comfy as a baby's blanket.

Anyways, this is my list. I am sure everybody's lists are different and similar to mine, but press on! Break will be here before you know it!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

202

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
