nourriture

So...I'm in a Nutrition class right now and I just can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I love learning all the facts and details about food and labeling, etc. but it's opening my eyes to a lot of things that I would be happy not knowing. I just don't know what to eat anymore haha. In fact I'm almost considering going vegetarian...probably only part vegetarian because I just can't give up meat :) Anywho...there is a lot that we don't realize about food. I'm going to start paying a lot closer attention to the food that I eat, and hopefully make myself a little healthier! Woot woot!

wishes

There are so many things I find myself wishing for these days. I wish I could run away and travel the world. I wish I loved school the way I used to in elementary school. I wish I knew what I wanted to major in. I wish I knew what was in my future. The list goes on and on. When I first find myself wishing for things, I feel as though there isn't anything I can do. As if they are out of my control. But that is quite silly of me! I have absolute control over my thoughts, attitude, and action. Having control is a God-given gift and I need to take control of my life. Instead of wishing, I'm going to make it happen. One day, I'll travel. I will love school. I will decide a major. With prayer, scripture study, and some faith I will find myself granting my wishes. What are your wishes? Is there something you can do to make them reality?

Brace Face No More!!

Oh my Hannah Montana!!! The days of my braces are almost over!! In fact they are just around the river bend! Holla! I didn't really mind having braces, but having them in college is really quite a bummer. Braces are not the bummer, it's the fact that everyone thinks I'm way super young. Basically a child among adults haha. It doesn't help that I am actually a wee bit younger than everyone. Fear not! Those days are soon going to be behind me :) I think I will totally do a post with before and after pictures! Anywho...I just wanted to share that happy thought with you all! Au revoir!

what to do

Oh college. Why do you do this to me? Everyone tells me that there is no limit to what I want to do, but that is the problem for me. There are so many things that I love and am interested in that I can't focus on one thing. Choosing a career is a HUGE deal! I mean think about it. There are so many aspects that you have to consider. Do I want to do this for the rest of my life? Will the career I choose allow me to have a family? Will the money I make be sufficient to support myself and family and leave me enough to do all the things I wanted to do when I'm older? Where will I have to go to work? Is there something I want to do more? It stresses me out. I thought that I knew what I wanted to do, but I'm completely lost. I've made lists on lists of different careers and nothing is helping. Why can't I just have one thing that I'm really good at, that I know I'm passionate about and could turn it into a career? I've been raised to know that I have the potential to do whatever my heart desires, but what if I can't determine what that is? Is there a possible reason I can't decide on a career/major? I just wish I had the answers to everything but I don't. Instead, I just take classes and get myself interested in tons more. My classes are supposed to help me narrow down all of my choices...it is just adding to them. I really hope that one day I'll be able to figure it all out and go in the direction that is going to make me happy.

Jebbica

I'm sure that most of you have a friend out there that you just love pretty much more than anything...well Jessica is mine.

She is probably one of the greatest friends I've ever had. I cannot even begin to say how much I missed her over the summer. We spent some real quality time together today for the first time since she moved back two weeks ago. Instantly we were laughing our heads off and talking about all the wonderful and hard things in life that best friends talk about. It's so nice that she is there for me. I know I can talk to her about anything and there will be no judging (most of the time haha) and she'll give me advice that I know will help me all the days!

She is absolutely fantastic in every way and I'm lucky to call her my best friend.

I love you Jess!
