i love college

because of college...

 i can't go to sleep before 2am 

 showers have become a second priority 

freshman 15 became a reality, but on a side note* they don't tell you that no one actually cares

the kids i babysit have more money in their pocket than i do

AND

midnight waffle house runs have become a weekly tradition

(one in which i don't plan on stopping)

and yes, i put grape jelly on pancakes. do it. 

too much cant stop

I recently expanded my personal networking websites by adding a Twitter AND a Tumblr to my facebook and this blog... I think it was too much. But I really just can't stop. Now I can spend and extra two hours on the internet "creeping" and "tweeting" and "blogging" and "tumbling". As much as I hate to say it I think I'm addicted... Haha all of these websites are just so fabulous! But precaution must be taken. With facebook we get a clear look into the window of others lives. Of course this can cause MAJOR problems. People only post the good. Only allowing tagged pictures that make them look their best, writing on the wall's of people they hardly know pretending like they are just BFF'S! Tweeting what we do at every moment of everyday like someone cares(which sadly we are beginning to). Blogging about our personal lives and allowing people into our heads likes it wont affect us.

and yes, i am so guilty.

WHY in the world do we do this? As much as I so want to deactivate my facebook day in and day out I just can't bring myself to do it.

It's because we feel like we don't exist in the world if we don't exist on facebook. we think people(boys) will contact us via facebook and we'll miss it when honestly, how many times does this actually happen? The reality of it all is quite sad. Ridiculous really.

I want to go back in time. I want to go back to the days where men had to ride their horses to your house that was miles down the road if they wanted to see you. I want only my closest friends to know about my life and I want people to ask me IN PERSON to get lunch sometime.

Our world is becoming so technologically dependent and I'm not saying their aren't benefits, I'm just saying we need more balance. I'm determined to have my cake and eat it too. So we'll see...But in the mean time I'll keep facebooking, tweeting, tumbling, and blogging. Because everyone else is doing it, right?

the city

one of the things i LOOOVE about living in D.C. is the amazing little places to visit that are like no where else, especially Alabama. Over spring break we took a few days here and there and drove a few(or more) miles into Georgetown. Of course the university campus is B-E-A-UTIFUL and would only be realistic in my dreams, i still very much enjoyed walking up and down main street playing pretend as Blair Waldorf with my sister, aka Serena Van Der Woodsen! 

along our adventure we found adorable clothing boutiques and little french bakery's. but the favoritest of favorite places we found was Sprinkles. 

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY

new soul

So I guess it's been almost a month since my last post. As much as I thought about it everyday and wanted to get on and post, I just had nothing to say. This past month has been one of the most extraordinary growing periods that I've encountered over the past eighteen years. Feelings were hurt, emotions were felt, minds were changed, relationships were broken, relationships were mended, hearts were touched and lives were restored. Although the difficult times are not the happiest, they allow for an opening in our souls for God to enter and take over. As much as we try and try to do things ourselves, there's really no ultimate joy and peace that can be found until we let His love control our every existence. So try new things, experience for yourself what is true and understand that life is a journey. the little things will shape you into the person you are destined to be. we are new souls, we're searching, and luckily, our journey ends with happiness in the arms of God.

This is my song for my life right now... 

of course it changes like every month but I'll enjoy it until a new one comes along.
