I love this!

http://shine.yahoo.com/event/makeover/101-small-pleasures-you-can-enjoy-every-day-1125425/

This is a list compiled of simple pleasures that can be enjoyed every day. As I went through this list I kept saying "Oh yes...YEAH that too!....OOOOHHH I love that" and on and on and on! Sometimes I go throughout my day without stopping to look around and take everything in around me. I walk through one of the most beautiful parts of my campus almost every day. Sweetheart Circle is full of history, traditions, and love. It has a beautiful lawn, big trees, and pretty landscaping.

I have the travel bug!

I have an itch to go on a little trip. Not sure where, when, why, or how. I am not thinking anywhere tropical, anywhere with a beach, anywhere abroad, or complicated. I am thinking some sort of tourist-y location that I can knock off my non-existant "bucket list"...actually it's more of a list in my mind of where I want to go. I have been to Washington DC before but it would be fun to go back and be able to enjoy it more on my own time. I have also been to NYC, but yet again it would be fun to go back since it is impossible to see everything while you are there. Maybe somewhere out West? Like Arizona, Salt Lake City, or even Washington State. The possibilities are endless. I just need something to come along and make the decision for me :)

La La La

It's been too long since my last post! Mainly due to spring break and the festivities it entailed. Savannah was a complete blast. Pictures to come. My favorite part was all of the GREEN! I wish I would have gone to the beach somewhere but that is okay. I was able to see people I haven't seen in a while and catch up with my friends and have some fun! I am ready to go to sleep soooooo this is going to be short and sweet. Mine and Cody's 1 year anniversary is tomorrow :)

5 things I am thankful for:
1) Plastic Target bags- They are perfect to re-use as trashbags in my bathroom or a dirty clothes bag on the go...so random I know but I really do love them.

2) 30 more days until a week break before summer classes start...well only one class for me.

3) Spring break next year falls on UGA's spring break! Meaning I will hopefully FINALLY get to go on a spring break with my best friend Anna Grace!!!!

4) Victoria's Secret for providing me hours of entertainment on the internet when I am bored

5) The RAC--it will be my second home for the next two months because whether I like it or not I am getting back in shape.

Spring Break!

Tomorrow I am heading to Savannah for the big St. Patrick's Day celebration! Needless to say I am completely excited because I have never been able to before since I was underage. Granted I know I probably COULD have gone but it would not have been as much fun :) I am going down there with my roommate Kayley, her boyfriend Brent, and Jesse. Then Cody is meeting us there. HOPEFULLY on Wednesday Ben and Stephanie will be meeting us there too to join in on the fun :)
My expectations of the event include...
1) A LOT of green-green clothes, food, hair, beer, water, cars, decorations...
2) A LOT of drunk people
3) loud music
4) thousands and thousands of people
and most importantly...
5) a good time that I will always remember!

I shall update soon with event results :)

Boredom

To start with I would like to share how BORED I am. It is Thursday and I have not blogged since Monday which is odd considering that I really have not been busy at all this week. Anyway...this week started off so beautiful (in terms of the weather) and then it got so glummy literally overnight! I love the rain, but the teaser weather got me so excited for spring that I am now really disappointed with the rain.

On with more boredom. My sweet boyfriend went home to see his family. Unfortunately I have class in the morning and could not accompany him, which is fine because I needed to clean and such anyway. However, I am currently home alone as my roommates are engaged in their studies and jobs. Monica is working at the bar, Katie is working on a paper at the library, and Kayley is studying at the library. BUMMER!

I did workout today though...GO ME :) I used my Bender Ball, which I love. It doesn't put any strain on my back while I am working my abs, unlike regular floor exercises. Okay now I sound like a commercial. Anyway! I also turned up my music, pushed back my living room furniture, and just did various forms of strength-cardio exercises. I have come to learn that if I don't do things I enjoy when it comes to cardio I am very easily bored, and thus not motivated to do any cardio at all. I rewarded myself by going shopping and buying a really cute jacket and top at TJ Maxx. Now if only I can keep it up :)

Today :)

Today was amazing! I could have not asked for a better Monday!!! To start the day off I woke up earlier than my alarm but not too early! On my way to class my roommate Katie walked by my parking lot and stopped and talked to me for a few minutes. I found out that my marketing class is cancelled on Friday and on top of that I got my marketing test back and made an 84 :) THENNNN I came home and took a nap, got up and went to work (which I was sort of dreading). When I got there I was told that I needed to check my campus P.O. Box (that had not been checked since Dec. of 08'...oops) for my paycheck that MIGHT be there but "probably wouldn't". LO and BEHOLD I got my first paycheck and it was a LARGE sum I am just going to tell you because it was for about a month and a half. It gets better....I found out that I will have ANOTHER check in my P.O. Box on Friday for the remaining amount of hours they owed me. I am so thankful.

On top of EVERYTHING...this weather is perfect and gorgeous. GOD IS SO GOOD!

I am sooooo ready for spring break to get there, although I do not have a stressful week so I hope to try to enjoy it! For spring break, next Tuesday-Thursday me, my boyfriend Cody, Kayley, Brent, and Jesse are going to SAVANNAH for the huge St. Patrick's Day Parade and festival! We are sooo excited because we got a great deal on a hotel...great compared to the others anyway.

Well that's all for tonight/today :) Hope everyone has a wonderful week

Live ya life....eyyyyyy

Im getting really really good at this!! This weekend was amazing. I had a wonderful time at home with my family and friends. Friday we attending the Luke Bryan concert. Saturday night (last night) we went to Cowboy Bills to hear Deepstep perform. It was sooooo much fun because I got to not only go out with my best friend Anna and her husband Chris, but also in attendance were my sweet boyfriend and his friend Jack. To top it all off my bestest best friend Anna Grace, Brittany, Jessica, and Abby all showed up and we had soooo much fun dancing, people watching, drinking, and making fun of people! HA!

Coming home to unpack and clean just sucks though. However I am not unpacking TOO much since spring break starts for me on FRIDAY! YAY!!! Plans are in the works so stay tuned for official announcements. Haha...!

Milledgeville's making national headlines...WOW didn't see this coming:

Ben Roethlisberger Accused of Sexual Assault

Ben Roethlisberger Sexual AssaultPittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault by a young woman in Georgia, TMZ has learned.

The alleged incident occurred early this morning at Capital City -- a club in Milledgeville, Georgia.

According to law enforcement sources, the alleged victim -- who has already been interviewed by police -- was treated at a local hospital and released.

We're told in addition to the alleged victim, witnesses are being interviewed -- and one law enforcement source says they will attempt to interview Roethlisberger.

In addition to the Milledgeville Police Dept, we've learned the Georgia Bureau of Investigations is also investigating.

As we previously reported, Roethlisberger is being sued by a Reno woman, Andrea McNulty, who claims the QB sexually assaulted her in 2008.

UPDATE: We're told Ben Roethlisberger has already been interviewed by police. We're also told no formal charges have been filed at this point.

UPDATE 3:30 PM EST: A rep from the Steelers tells TMZ, "We are gathering information on this incident - until then we have no further comment."

I am in shock at this story. I can't wait for more to come out about it so we can know if the pro athlete in fact is guilty of yet ANOTHER sexual assault case OR if it is just a girl trying to get attention.

The media at Capital City last nigh were ridiculous...I walked outside from the owner's apartment and camera crews wanted to ask me questions about something I have no clue about. Just trying to get a story...it's pathetic and annoying to me because they ALL want to be the first to hear everything like it will really matter in the long run because eventually EVERYONE will know the same information.

todayyyyyy

I am so tired of it being cold! But I know when it is mid-July and high-90's, low-100's I will be ready for winter again. For Spring Break some friends and I had planned on going to Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island for the week. Plans are falling through gradually and it SUCKS because I really want to go somewhere but people blow their money too quickly. I need to learn to not be mad about things I have no control over...but these people are ruining my plans as well as plans of the people that still want to go.

On to something else. I am going home this weekend! So excited...tomorrow night I am going to a Luke Bryan concert at Capital City in Milledgeville. Cody is going home with me and my parents, brother, and his friends are attending the concert! Hopefully I will be running into a few people from Statesboro that are going. Also my friends that work at the bar are bartending at Capital tomorrow night for the concert...so I am pumped about that!

I feel that my first part of my blog was negative so...
5 things I am thankful for today:
1) My boyfriend- he is currently making me a delicious meal for dinner :)
2) "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks- it gives me something to look forward to reading and it keeps my mind wondering about what happens next :)
3) E! channel- it is currently showing "Beyonce Revealed"...I LOVE BEYONCE :)
4) My Mama- I can't get through a day without calling and talking to her
5) My Meme- I don't call her often enough and it makes me feel terrible about myself...I'm going to call her now....

Post 3 GO ME :)

I guess technically this is not my third blog post ever...since I do have another blog but I am not fond of the website at all!
Lately I have been soooo tired and I blame the weather. Cold weather does not motivate me to do anything other than lay in my bed reading "The Last Song"...

the-last-song.jpg


AND "Skinny Bitch"

skinny_bitch.jpg


Yes I am reading two books at once...go me! And I actually am able to enjoy both of them and know what is going on. I just started "The Last Song" today and I am in love. I went through 4 chapters in 30 minutes. I absolutely cannot wait until the movie comes out! "Skinny Bitch" is a must-read for all of those who are ready to face the cold hard facts about what they are eating. I haven't eaten meat since I started reading it...it's a real eye-opener.


That's all for today :)

Here lately...

I knew it wouldn't take long for me to get out of the "habit" of blogging. I actually had to start a blog on another website for one of my classes so I have been blogging there...however the website is quite confusing to my simple mind so I am going to try to balance the two!
My lovely best friend Anna Grace started blogging on this website as well so I am excited that she and I can keep up with each others lives from Statesboro to Athens and Athens to Statesboro.
I just woke up for the day and I am about to go into work at the school and begin major plans for the 2010 Mr. GSU pageant!
Things I am thankful for today:
1) The rain- we complain about it too much but it truly is such a blessing
2) Alarm clocks- I had to wake up at 2:55 AM this morning to register for my classes and would have never done so without my alarm!
3) My comfy bed- I got to sleep in today until 9:30 and I loved it because my bed is so comfortable
4) Breakfast- Although I have made no decisions on this meal yet, I am excited about it. Breakfast always gets me going
5) My boyfriend, Cody- He had to get up earlier than I did...he claims to not be a morning person and while it does take him 30 minutes of hitting "Snooze" on his phone once he gets up he is so cheerful and funny. It's a good start to the day!
