Things That Make Me Happy

This morning started off not exactly the way I had planned for the first day of school. I woke up to find my ethernet cord was stuck to the wall and to my laptop. :( So, here's a list of things that make me happy to cheer myself up:

1. Walking by the magazine rack and seeing a new magazine issue. 
2. Reading that magazine in a Barnes and Noble while sipping on a latte. (*Trying to drink coffee only once a week is hopefully going to make this experience even more happy) 
3. Clothing/Houseware displays at Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. It makes me just want to pack up my bags and move in.
4. Blogging :) 
5. Listening to new music ... I just bought Vampire Weekend's album, along with an album by "Everybody Else" and another album by "A Fine Frenzy." 
6. Sunlight - Since we've passed the longest night of the year, every day now there is a little more sunlight. 
7. First day of classes - While it does make me nervous to think about the work ahead, the first day of class is always great b/c everyone's full of expectations and hoping that this semester will be a great one. 
8. My sorority - I'm  really glad that I ended up joining a sorority. I almost didn't because I was worried about all the bad things I heard about sororities. I'm happy to say that my sorority does not haze and that my sisters have made my sophomore year thus far a really great year. 
9. Trying out new accessories - I wore this beautiful necklace that my roommate last year gave me that has a deer pendant. I'll put a picture up soon. I'm just so excited I got to wear it b/c I thought it didn't go with anything that I own. I wore the jeans/dress combo that I showed you guys before and the owl ring, as well as a cute bracelet I forgot I had. 
10. Time - I love having some free time. Today I only had an hour of class and I found out that I don't have class on Friday b/c my professor won't be in school. Not to mention we have school off on Monday! 
11. Singing in the shower or at my voice lessons 
12. A very cute pair of flats
13. My Moleskine planner
14. Writing in my journal
15. Seeing really cute dogs on the street, and also my dog Lila who is a golden retriever. 
16. The feeing you get after going to the gym and having a nice workout. 

Well, that's my list for now. Hope you enjoyed. I'm going to get ready for the gym now. 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! This morning my family and I ate apple pancakes with maple syrup. We opened presents by the Christmas tree. I got the ipod Nano that I had been wanting forever! It's a 16GB and purple :) Then we went to Massachusetts to visit my Aunt and Uncle's place. They had invited their side of the family over as well as ours. There were lots of people and there was lots of food. My dog, Lila met their dog Boulder. Lila, a golden retriever who gets scared of buckets, boxes, and guitars, was absolutely petrified of Boulder. Boulder is this huge black dog. I can't remember what breed he is, but from a distance he looks kind of like a small bear. All in all, a very good Christmas. I'm exhausted now, so here ends my post.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night !

Busyness...

So I've been crazy busy since I've gotten back from Thanksgiving Break. I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided to start a blog then. Worst timing ever, right? Anyway, I'm just writing to say that I have only 2 days left of class, 3 essays, 4 exams, and 11 days left before winter break. These next 11 days will be utter hell, but then it's Jingle Bells all the way! I'm so excited for Christmas. I, unfortunately, have not yet put up Christmas decorations in my room, but you bet that I will go crazy once I get home to Connecticut. I am a little worried though that we won't be able to put glass ornaments up. (I have a beautiful golden retriever named Lila who tends to knock stuff like that over with her tail or just by running into it with her head) I love my dog, but I will be really really mad if she breaks ornaments. Haha I should post a picture of her. I have a ton of her, and a bunch of her and my little sister. They are the cutest couple in the world, in my opinion.
Till Next Time!
