Thanks, Lindsey, for the post idea :)

So Lindseys post made me want to talk about fitness. My boyfriend recently made me a workout plan (hes a workout junkie to the max), and I have been following it every week day for two and half weeks now. Its killer and I actually am seeing results. I also feel better about myself. Its actually a short workout and hardly any running (trying to tone rather than lose) but it is a lot of weight lifting and squatting. If anyone would like a sneak peek at it feel free to hit me up!!! Although I'm sure you can find something very similar on pinterest lol. Have a blessed and fit day errrrbody! lol dumb, i know.

Who I is

I realized I too have not a bio on here yet, so here are the basics about myself! I am from Welcome, NC.. very small and southern town. I cheered in high school and miss it a ton. I can come off kinda shy sometimes, in classes especially, but I am actually not shy at all and consider myself to be very outgoing and lively. I love love love children and babies, which is a huge reason that I decided to go into this major in the first place (and because there is not alot of math classes involved, lol). I am a super huge mommas girl and am best friends with my sister too, who lives in Raleigh. I have a kitten named Lyla who I also am obsessed with, as well as a boyfriend named Daniel, and a super close group of friends who I share basically everything with. I love this major and I love the mountains, but I also love the beach... which is why I went to Wilmington my freshman year. I realized that it wasn't the right college fit for me, and UNCW also did not have our major, so I transferred to the High Country. NO RAGRETS. I love going out on the weekends but also don't mind just staying in and chilling with my roommates every now and then. I could go on and on, but that's pretty much the basics. I hope you all have a fabulous week!!!!!

another SNOW DAY post...

Today was such a fun snow day!!! As everyone else is talking about, my roommates and I went sledding. I sledded into a car which wasn't that great but other than that it was pretty legit. I am praying it will snow more tonight but I hear it could go either way.. I have had only one class so far all week, and I feel so behind on my work, when in reality I'm not at all because classes have just been cancelled! Hope everyone else had a fabulous snow day!!!

Positive energy and good vibes

I have a test today and the AB is due.. but it's okay because the rest of the week will fly by and its been warmer than normal lately!! I thought yesterday was very motivational being "positive sticky note day", and I love it when our campus decides to be creative like that. With all the deaths that have happened lately, I think stuff like that is important as ways to remind each other to look at the good in life, because there is so much more happy than sad! Love yall, keep it real, xoxo.

Babysitting this weekend

This weekend I babysat for a family with two children. I was a nanny to these children over the summer full time, and I babysit on the weekends occasionally throughout the school year. The kids are so sweet and are ages 2 and 4. Unfortunately, when I got to their house, I was told that one child was just getting over the flu and the other one was starting to feel bad too. This would be my luck considering I have been sick like all semester lol. I just hope I dont get sick... again. Other than that it was a great time and great money. Taking care of sick children reminded me of when I was little and my mom would take care of me when I had to stay home from school because of an illness. It also made me feel like I am better prepared for parenthood now, not that I am wishing for a child anytime soon ahah.

Vampire Diaries

I am currently watching Vampire Diaries because my roommate has it on netflix in the living room. At first I thought it was annoying because it's so unrealistic, but I am starting to get into it... although my all time favorite show ever will be One Tree Hill. I love Greys Anatomy, Parenthood, Private Practice.. (yeah i'm a T.V series junkie), but OTH is my ishhhh. cant stop wont stop, lol. Ive watched every episode twice by now I'm pretty sure. My advice is honestly to only get addicted to a show if you are taking 16 hours (maybe 15) or less, because last semester I had 17 and struggled a bit with time management haha. Or ignore that if you have really great self control. I hope everyone enjoys this warm weather today and has a perfect week!!!!!

xoxo, gg
(Never got into Gossip Girl but all my roommates did :/)

This morning...

This morning has been crazy so far.. I feel awful still and my car wont start so i'm in a panic to find a ride to class lol. I think I will have to walk to the nearest bus stop. I also sure hope this cold ends soon because being sick really just makes everything worse ... stay away from me everyone!!!! haha. Good thing Dr. Coleman cancelled class though right? I was also really hoping classes would get snowed out today since I am "under the weather", but I guess life is tough sometimes, ya win some ya lose some! HAVE A FABULOUS DAY AND WEEK EVERYONE!!

Sorority Life

So I am in Alpha Phi and I love my sorority. I never thought I would join a sorority when first coming to App, but I saw some of my friends in different sororities here before I came to college and I thought it seemed like a great idea to go through recruitment! Turns out, I am soooo glad that I did!!!! I love my philanthropy and the friends I have made and the strong sisterhood we share. I am proud of us as well. I know many people in our class are in various sororities, and I think its cool we have that diversity. One thing that has always bothered me is that people in sororities sometimes tend to compete with one another or label one another. Its a natural thing that happens and many people do it, but I have never understood it because we all joined these groups of girls because it is where we felt like we fit in the best, why is that a competition? We're happy there so why does it matter? I know many people do not see it that way which is good, and the way I look at it too, it just erkkksss me when people try to put one another down for dumb, petty reasons. Whether you are in my sorority or not, Were on this campus together ya know!? hahah I see the competition on my friends "yik-yak" .. pretty childish I know.. but its like almost every organization is hated on at some point.. I guess its life though. Just wish people saw the bigger picture and the good that all sororities and other clubs/organizations bring to this campus, rather than the "image" people label one another with, good or bad, without getting to actually know them individually (They're trashy, They're ugly, pretty, conceited, too much of this or that). Just get to know one another, ya know? Everyone labels and judges in pretty much every place in the world, just wish it wasn't like that I suppose.

My week :)

Sooooo because I forgot to spread out my posts, I'm going to post two today and one tomorrow about my week and weekend. I guess I have to get in the habit of blogging! So I've been sick all week, go figure because all of my roommates are as well. Other than that, the week wasn't too bad because my work load was light, which means this coming week I will have to buckle down with work I have due for my classes. Also, my roommates and I had a kitten but had to get rid of her because we are not suppose to have animals where we live, and we almost got caught with her.. but the good news is that we gave her to my roommates parents so at least she is still in the family! I know im rambling, lol. I hope everyone has a perfectly, beautiful, and "as warm as possible" week!!!!!
