Things That Keep Me Goin'

You guessed right, my cats are one

There are certain places, people, animals and other nouns that keep a person going every day. Sometimes it's knowing that you work for the weekend, and you're okay with that. Some people work for their kids and loved ones. Other people work for the five cats that they love unconditionally and are seemingly named after their favorite book characters. Other people just love to be busy and make themselves so. Well, I have a few reasons that I get going every day, and there are a few things that make my life easier to manage.

1. Completing my capstone course

I am taking my English capstone course, which is a fancy way of saying I'm doing my thesis and senior portfolio. Once I finish this up, the rest of my college degree will be a cakewalk. It will be the end of my undergraduate career and opening up a whole new world for me to enter, become instantly overwhelmed and then seek guidance in.

2. My cats

While my cats are not named after my favorite book characters, I do what I do for them in a way too. If I stopped doing my daily activities, they would probably die. Brutal but simple. Cats need love and affection just as much as the next person, sometimes more so, and I am definitely willing to give it to them. They don't talk as much as people.

3. Asana

Asana what? Asana who? Very recently, I was introduced to a project managing website/app combo that helps you organize tasks. You can create a project and put tasks inside, and even collaborate with other people on the same project and assign things individually. It sends emails and notifications on your phone to remind you when you have a due date sneaking up that you forgot about.

4. My loved ones

I better put this one on here I suppose. I do love em' all.

5. I like going about my day

While more often than not I would rather be doing something else other than my current activity, I like my days. They are interesting and lively. There is something new to experiecne every day you walk outside your door.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
