Finals Week

This is how I feel about Finals week:

I have zero motivation to study, I just want to sleep for the next three days.

The good news is that I get to go home soon and won't have to worry about my asshole Spanish teacher ever again. And I get to see my lovely British mate, who I haven't seen in about a year.

The bad news I won't be able to see Burrito for a month.

I'm also looking forward to all of the lovely food that I will eat, and Christmas should be pretty enjoyable.

To be honest though I am pretty excited for next term.

Mostly because of this boy that has caught my attention recently.

Anyway just an update, I have to finish my Psych paper now.

Happy finals week

Just a few things

Lately I have been having an overwhelming feeling of pure happiness,

and since Thanksgiving is in two weeks, I thought I would share all of the things I'm thankful for.

My closest friends; because I know without them I would still be a mess. Plus nobody has as much hotmess fun as we do :)

The opportunity to go to such an amazing school and further my education, while meeting life long friends.

Adam Levine... Need I say more?

Spontaneous beach road trips with my Grammy. A) I LOVE the beach and B) I love my Grammy

My family (including Max) because no matter what we act like crazy fools to get a good laugh

Oregon Chai because it's the BEST Chai ever and Chai is the best beverage ever

My ride or die because even though we don't talk or see each other all the time, we're still super close

Memories of Warped Tour, and the fact that I don't look or feel this fat anymore

Music because sometimes it's the only thing that makes everything better,

and Ed Sheeran because he sounds like an angel!

Weekends with the best, because I have best memories from those weekends

Road trips to Cali with my boys because we never have a bad time

Free Dutch Bros (or Dutch Bros in general) because it's the best coffee ever and it's cheap!

Conversations like this because conversations with my best friend are always the funniest

The fact that even though I've been through hell and back I still came out smiling

These are just a few things I'm genuinely thankful for. There are other things, but I think I'll wait until closer to Thanksgiving to tell those to the internet :)

I hope everyone is having an amazing weekend and that you all realize you have many things to be thankful for!

Happy birthday Burrito!

It's my best friend's 19th birthday so I figured I'd make a post all about him.

Happy 19th birthday little duck!

Let's start with a list, shall we?

19 thing I LOVE about my best friend (in no particular order):

1. He can literally always make me laugh, even if he just stares at me. Never fails to crack me up

2. He's one of the nicest guy ever (even if I call him an ass/he's mean to me)

3. We have had some INSANE times together, aka he's tons of fun

4. We've lost a lot of friends, but no matter what happens we're always best friends in the end

5. His incredibly weird dancing

6. The way he gets me addicted to things (TV shows, Tumblr, music)

7. The way he's always there for me

8. His dirty sense of humor (the clean one too, I guess)

9. His random seductive faces/poses (HILARIOUS and strange)

10. How we can have fun without even really doing anything

11. When he's shwasted :)

12. His hugs (especially after we haven't seen each other in forever)

13. The faces that we make at each other for no reason

14. His HORRIBLE Spanish accent

15. When he walks me downstairs and we sit in the lobby talking forever

16. Our "fights" (including the yelling, name calling, chasing and throwing of things)

17. How SUPER creepy he is sometimes

18. The strange things that happen in his room

19. How he occasionally reads my mind (kinda freaky but cool)

Honorable mentions:

*His Big Ang voice *The way he used to play with my hair *His "angry" face/when he gets mad *The way I can be myself around him *When he quotes random things *The way he used to fall asleep at the most random times *When he tells me he loves me *How random we are together *how people think we're related (including my actual family) *How he puts up with my insanity * The way we ran from people *His liar face *How he tries to pretend I don't know him *The WEIRD noises he makes randomly *How he struggles to do simple tasks occasionally *

The thing I love the most is that we've only known each other a little over a year, but it feels like we've been friends for ages. He is the greatest best friend anyone could ever ask for and I am truly thankful that I get the honor to call him best friend.

Most of my memories from last year involve my Burrito and those are some of the greatest memories I have ever had. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He's a pain in the ass sometimes (like when he takes everything out of my backpack and throws it on my bed) but he's my pain in the ass, and I wouldn't change anything about him.

To sum this all up I wouldn't trade this kid for the world. He's my best friend, no one could EVER replace him.

Through thick and thin you have always been there for me and I can  never truly express how grateful I am for that.

I feel I don't say it enough, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE you Burrito and I hope you have the best 19th birthday ever.

P.S hope you're ready for one INSANE birthday celebration ;) Party party party

P.P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

P.P.S.S I LOVE YOU!

Update!

Just thought it was time for an update, since the last time I posted was a week ago.

My weekend was super fun, on Saturday I went to SO Pride downtown with K and her friend (got glittered by a drag queen, and to this day keep finding glitter EVERYWHERE!) then we went and hung out for a few hours at K's house. That is always a good time.

Especially when she makes yummy food! :)

Sunday was full of studying for a Spanish exam that I don't think I did well on at all.

Not too much has happened this week.

Monday was a super good day, for no real reason. I like days like that.

Yesterday I legitimately did homework/studied for about 5 hours.

Today has been nothing special.
I think I'm getting sick, but drinking apple juice is helping.
Other than that I can't complain.

Things feel like normal again, which is great because that's just what I needed.

I have been genuinely happy, and I'm loving every minute of it.
I've also become OBSESSED with the show Revenge. I'm almost done with season 1 and I've only been watching it since Sunday.
I've even neglected all other shows to watch it.
Definitely check it out if you haven't
Have a great rest of the week,

Thankful

I don't even know how to write all of this out. My brain is just so freaking happy. And I realize that sounds insane.

But honestly I have never been so happy in my entire life, it sucks that it took all of the crap it took to get here, but I'm here now and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anyone or anything ruin this.

Anyway I just want to let everyone know that I have the most amazing friends in the entire world, without them I wouldn't be here today and for that I am truly thankful.

I've pretty much expressed this on every social media network, but I cannot say it enough.

On Saturday I did something that I am not proud of. Something that I haven't felt like doing in years and the fact that I did it opened my eyes a little bit, but it was my friends that pushed me out of denial.

Even though it's only day 1 I feel a million times better.

I realize now that I have REAL friends, the kind of friends that stick around when they say they will regardless of what happens.

I am honestly so thankful to have them in my life. I've never been so happy in my life, and I owe it to them for being the biggest reason for that happiness.

They're my best friends, they're my family, they're my confidants, they're the best people I have ever met.

I love them all SO much.

And I will forever be thankful for each one of them :)

Super awesome week!

So if you couldn't tell by the title, this week has been one of the best weeks for me.

It all started last Saturday.

I went over to a friends house to vent and just hang out, it was pretty great. Her and I have never really hung out so that was super fun.

She also has a kitten that is legitimately the cutest thing I have ever seen, and everyone knows that super adorable animals make everything 1000x better!

Piña coladas and the adorable kitten!

That was just the kick off to what would turn out to be a great week. Sunday wasn't anything special, mostly homework and doing nothing but watching Youtube videos.

Monday was pretty good, I woke up and wasn't tired so that was quite amazing. Classes were okay, my favorite was my chem lab though because someone thought they were being sneaky by looking at me, but I could see them through my peripherals so that was pretty hilarious. Then after class an attractive male smiled at me, which isn't a huge deal but it made the day way better.

Tuesday was okay. I enjoyed my classes, aside from stats (I hate math). After that I didn't really do anything.

Yesterday (Wednesday) was definitely my favorite day so far. I had a great discussion with two of my best friends and that took a huge weight off my shoulders. Then we just hung out, played some volleyball. After the fifth member of our group got out of class we had a mini bonfire to let go of  bad juju.

Baby bonfire

Today isn't even half over, but I can't complain about it. I am very tired, but other than that I am super happy. Started the day with an iced soy mocha so obviously I will be a little hyper later. I haven't been this happy in weeks and I have to say I am loving it. I have the best best friends a person could ever ask for and for that I am truly thankful.
Hopefully this weekend will be as great if not better than the week has been.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Second day of school

The first day of school was yesterday and let me tell you!

Mondays are gonna SUUUUCK, more than they usually do.

At my school there's this hell hill that leads to the science building, and I have Chem at 11:30 then lab at 1:30 so I get the joys of walking up that hill twice on Mondays, yaaaay...

To make it even better I get to see one of my least favorite people in both classes.

But on the plus side I like my Spanish class!

My Tuesday & Thursday classes are pretty great.

I actually paid attention in psych today, which is a first. But the teacher is funny so I like it.

AND the sun is out plus it's still moderately warm!

I freaking love it here.

Not to mention that I am reunited with my best friends.

I think I'll survive this year, regardless of Mondays and of the icky people.

Thank god for friends and sun!

Have a fantastic week!

Welcome back! {excuse the looooong post}

So I definitely abandoned this blog when college started {my deepest apologies}, but I started a summer blog to track what I was up to in Michigan and decided that this old blog needed to be revived from the blog graveyard. this is me doing so. I'm going to try to post more often, but I can't make any promises.
My first year at SOU was quite insane. As we {my best friend and I} like to say "F***ing freshman year". It wasn't all bad, mind you, but there were definitely moments that felt like the world had it out for us. Since I didn't post at all last year let me give you a few good, and not so good, highlights of "F***ing freshman year"

THE GOOD:

• Meeting my best friend and then meeting the rest of our little family {aka meeting the best people EVER}
• Moving to one of the best cities I've ever been to
• Joining teamiPhone
• Road trips!
• Parties, even if they ended badly I still had fun {mostly}
• Staying up late for no real reason
• The random conversations
• The Dev concert :)
• Our Easter picnic
• Skipping class for no reason other than not wanting to go
• Passing Sociology even though we rarely attended
• Spending almost everyday with friends
• Sitting in the lobby doing nothing, but having fun
• Watching ANTM
• Always having someone to talk to
• Night walks to the park
• Movie nights
• 7-11 {nuff said}
• Getting addicted to Tumblr

THE BAD:

• Pathological liars
• Untrustworthy people
• Friendship breakups
• Rude roommates
• Jerk boys
• Crying {no matter the reason or who it was, it sucked}
• Breaking my android :( {R.I.P little buddy}
• The party problems
• Getting addicted to Tumblr

THE UGLY:

• Our 'top model pictures' {YIKES!}
• The guys I was into {Seriously they weren't cute, but they had seemingly nice personalities}
• Friendship breakups
• Thinking 'Amanda K' was gonna kill us {SCARIEST S*** OF MY LIFE}
• Dominique {hahahahaha}
• Getting addicted to Tumblr

No these aren't the complete lists, but I don't want to bore you!

Overall I'd say last year was a pretty okay year, yeah we had our ups and downs, but we all came out alive and well. Plus we had each other, and that's all that really matters in the end.

Annnnnnyway, that was my year.

I hope you'll join me for the journey of my second year!

Gossip Girl

Haha just kidding, I've always wanted to end a post that way
