hair

Small, annoying strands that you are bothered with from day to day. Pieces that take hours to look socially acceptable - the joys of having long hair.

Today I got a hair cut. Now let me preface this statement: Every haircut I have gotten for the past three years I have been extremely disappointed/angry with after the matter, so I was expecting the same after today's endeavor. I was more than wrong. I love my new hair cut, love, love, love it.

To all you ladies out there who don't trust anyone with their hair, I completely understand. I promise you though, one day you will find some hairdresser who will change your life, and it will be great.

thankful

As I was at the gym this morning, I was thinking about all of the people/things I am thankful for and why. These past few months have been very selfish months for me, with school, activities, etc., I have been thinking about my life and what needs to be done, so now is the time to say thank you to those around me.

-My roommates: You all are seriously the best. I am basically never home, and I feel guilty about that, but for the most part you all understand that I am really busy and that won't see me but if only for a few minutes here and there getting myself ready for the day, or coming home and grabbing a sweatshirt to take to the Empo. I love each and every one of you, and I am very thankful for you all.

-I am healthy, vibrant, and am so thankful each and every day.

-I have a loving and caring family who support me with all of their hearts.

-My involvement at school: I am so lucky to be involved in everything that I am, and I am thankful for the people who make that possible and make those activities/involvement worth it every single day.

-My sisters: Kappa ladies - where would I be without you all? I love every one of you, thank you.

-I am thankful that I have a roof over my head, that I am not struggling monetarily, that I have sufficient nutrients, and that I have the chance for the great education that I am receiving.


What are you thankful for this year?

"So often we dwell on the things that seem impossible rather than on the things that are possible. So often we are depressed by what remains to be done and forget to be thankful for all that has been done."

one-hundred.

This is my 100th post.

Over the past 99 posts I have shared countless memories, thoughts, pictures and poems. I started this blog last December for several reasons, one being that I would have an outlet to put down all of these thoughts and memories that I could somehow share with people if they pleased. Another reason was that I wanted to make someone's day. I hope that something I have written has impacted you in some (hopefully, positive) way - because after all, that was the point.

You could almost call it a social experiment. How many people will read this? Does this matter to anyone? I know that I personally check the blogs I follow on an, at least, bi-weekly basis, so I wondered if people do the same with my blog. I can check statistics, sure, but I will never know if anyone enjoys reading what I write or if people think this is a complete waste of my, and their, time.


I want you all to find something that gives you a break from the day-to-day routine of this world, something that you enjoy and want to continue with after just one time doing so.

The point of this is to say thank you to the individuals who read this, whoever you are. You may be my best friend, you may be someone I know but not very well, you may be someone I am just Facebook friends with but have only spoken to once before - or maybe never before. Whoever you are, thank you. I hope you enjoy what I write and/or enjoy reading about my various experiences/thoughts/poems, etc - because that is why this is here - for me, and for you.
