Year of the Dragon
Today marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year and I thought I would take the chance to remind myself of some goals before I mindlessly abandon them in pursuit of bad tv and an abundance of cereal.
Stay organized, be neat. -I have been doing so good with this; making my bed the moment I have two feet on the floor, rinsing out my oatmeal bowl before it becomes one with the bowl, keeping well...

Thoughts about this military love thing
Every now and then I receive some messages asking me about what it’s like to have a relationship with a soldier and deal with the stress and unknown, juggle school, friendships, work, family, and life in general. Typically I don’t address these questions in a public way because I don’t want to shift the focus of my blog to such private matters or draw attention to any details...

Never putting myself through an all nighter ever again. If I don’t sleep within the next few minutes I may start thinking I’m Tyler Durden.

Feeling inspired, need and want to sketch and sew so badly! But first, must finish these papers. Only a few more months of being chained to my books. Ready to chase my dreams.
Time to get in killer shape. Yep.
Only young once and I want zero regrets from here on out. And I always regret eating a cookie and not going to the gym.

Taking aim
I really don’t want to chime in on the lock down we, at ECU, experienced today because it was blown out of proportion, and by that I don’t mean the way the community handled it but how the students on their social networking sites did, which leads me to my need to address this issue. The lit class I was in was notified at 10:11 am today that we all needed to find a safe place to seek...
Dear November
Dear November,
I’m ready for you. I may not like everything you have in store, but that’s the beauty of this life. I plan to take it slow and love and learn from every moment.

November shadows, shade November change
This past weekend was spent with the people I love the most. I drive home nearly every Friday after my last class of the day and spend my time with my boyfriend, my family, my dogs, and my wonderful friends. This doesn’t sound like a typical college student’s life. And in many ways it’s not. I met my boyfriend Alex the day before I moved to my new college town and fell in love...

One year of loving one man
and forever to go.
If it weren’t for a top notch college English education I would proudly announce in my charming Southern dialect that, “September 17th was Alex and mine’s one year anniversary!” but since I am becoming quite the educated young lady I now know better than that. Instead, I am going to tell y’all (that’s staying with me ‘til I die) that...
