Girls Who Read

I found this post on a blog I love, Una Bella Vita.
If you haven't read "Girls Who Read"...well, then you should!

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, 

or how bad it seems today, life does go on,

and it will be better tomorrow. 

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person

by the way he/she handles these three things:

a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. 

I’ve learned that regardless of your
relationship with your parents, 

you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. 

I’ve learned that making a “living” 

is not the same thing as making a “life.” 

I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. 

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life 

with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; 

you need to be able to throw something back.

I’ve learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart, 

I usually make the right decision. 

I’ve learned that even when I have pains,
I don’t have to be one. 

I’ve learned that every day you should reach out
and touch someone. 

People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. 

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. 

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, 

people will forget what you did, 

but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Overwhelmed

2 papers to write.
1 in Spanish.
15 pages of reading to do in one book. In Spanish.
A whole other book to read. Yep, in Spanish.


Um, why did I do a Spanish minor?

Add Econ degree or graduate in December?
Graduate school or job search?
George Strait concert or Lion King in Vegas? 
Both?!
Oh wait, what about those student loan payments...


Need apartment for this summer.
Need roommates for this summer.
Hope they're clean.


Work, meetings, volunteer, work, work.
Laundry.


Social life?
Date tomorrow. :)

Exhausted.

Love this

"Your light is seen, your heart is known, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine…If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you, you would be astonished. If you knew how many people feel so much for you, you would be shocked…You are far more wonderful than you think you are… Rest with that. Rest easy with that. Breathe again. You are doing fine. More than fine. Better than fine. You’re doin’ great. So relax. And love yourself today.”

quote reblogged from Karishma

Because it's so cold

Ugh.

I'm not feeling so great.

It's 11 degrees outside, but according to 

weather.com it 
"feels like -4".

The wind has been blowing frigid air out of the canyon

and straight across campus all day.

So, naturally I skipped my last class,

said I wouldn't be able to make it to my meeting tonight,

and am spending the rest of the evening in bed.

I'm a pansy when it comes to being sick

so I decided to make a list of

things I'm enjoying these days in hopes that I will feel better.
Here it goes:

Days when campus looks like this.

Today was not one of those days.
 

These pictures and quotes:

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - 

in which case, you fail by default.

J.K. Rowling 

I like to see people reunited, maybe that’s a silly thing, but what can I say, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone. 

Jonathon Safron Foer

I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying

to figure out how that might be.

Ahhh, I love this kitchen. For some reason
I've never been one of those girls
who just wants to get married 
or just wants to have babies...
I just want to have a house to decorate! Ha.

I guess for now I'll just stick with my bedroom.
I found this desk at a yard sale a few months ago
for $35. It was yellow and disgusting
but I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out!

And last on this very random list,
the Instagram iPhone app! My favorite.

Best friend and I during Christmastime.

The cutest little kid you'll ever meet.

And that's all.
