As Promised

So, I have been making a mental list of goals for myself this semester, and I am writing it down here so that you can perhaps hold me accountable for it (to some degree, anyway). I don't generally "believe" in New Year's resolutions, and I am not considering these as such. I know I will likely add to this list, but here's a healthy start:

  • Rise and shine by 9-9:30. (This time can be somewhat flexible based upon when I go to bed, but I'd like to adhere to it as much as possible. That means going to bed no later than 1-1:30.)
  • Make an effort to study during the day and during the week so nights and weekends can be free (just like cell phone service).
  • Likewise, finish papers and major assignments earlier than a couple hours before class. As in a a few days to a week before they are due, ideally.
  • Try to be a little less of a homebody.
  • Work on being less shy and more confident.
  • Be more active.
  • Drink more water and less soda.
  • Recommence taking a daily vitamin. (Note: Flinstones Vitamins are perfectly fine. My doctor even told me so. They have all the iron a lady needs and calcium and some other vital nutrients as well.)
  • Try to eat more fruits and vegetables, and be more timely in eating protein/keeping your blood sugar stable so you experience less frequent migraines.
Thanks in advance for your efforts to encourage me to stay on track, friends. I couldn't do it without you. ;)

I Hope I Never Look Like This

This advertisement was featured on Facebook when I logged in the other day and, needless to say, it bothered me a great deal.

I generally like old people. Heck, I think I might even want to work with them at some point. But not like this. Uh-uh.

It's Too Late

I'm positively obsessed with Timbaland's remix of One Republic's "Apologize." The music video is below, and all it will take on your part is one listen to have it forever embedded in your head. It is seriously catchy as balls.



Classes started last week, and so far, so good. This semester is going to be much more challenging than last semester, so I am outlining some goals for myself in order to better stay on top of my shit. I'll fill you in on them shortly. For now, I need to finish getting ready and head toward school. (I'll give you a hint about one of my goals, though, which you can gather from this post alone: I no longer plan on "getting ready" at 12:30 in the afternoon. What a waste of a day!)

Happy Monday, friends!

My Fortune

This past Thursday, I went to Pick Up Stix with Matt for dinner and received the following fortune in my fortune cookie:
What kind of a fortune is that? Hmph.
