Stress and happiness update.

I wish I blogged more so I wouldn't be stressing over how to even write this post. I'm still overwhelmed with school and work. I still barely have time for myself. However, things are starting to look up and it's hard not to be happy lately.

 About two or more months ago I completely gave up dating. I was so sick of hearing how I'm too busy. I was so sick of being lied to or mistreated. I was completely okay with not wasting my time with unneeded distractions. 

 Then on my first day of class, I text one of my best friends telling her I was going to marry this guy in my class. I obviously assumed I'd never have the courage to speak to him. Every time he makes a statement during our family dynamics class discussions, every girl in the room instantly light up. An insanely attractive guy who completely respects women, it's clear I'm not the only one in that class not used to that combination.


Fast forward to two Sunday ago.. We went on our first date. It was honestly the best date I've ever been on. I've never been treated so well. All of the things that I've wanted from guys in the past that made them tell me I expect too much, he did. It was just such a nice change to feel happy and comfortable. 

 We also went out this past Saturday. He was able to meet my mom and she completely approved. Although we just got food a few drinks and talked for hours, I completely enjoyed myself. I'm really looking forward to being able to spend more time with someone who is so motivating and positive. It's also been nice to have someone who understands my crazy schedule firsthand. 

 So it might be the only time that I enjoy having the same class twice a week. It also might be the only time that I really don't enjoy how quickly my 10 week classes are going by. I'm not rushing anything, I'm just enjoying my happiness. I'm pretty damn sure I completely deserve this. 

 I still want to be able to get back into blogging, it's been a stressful time and I plan on next quarter taking off a realistic amount of time opposed to trying to please everyone and having to really think hard about if I ate or if I slept more than 2 hours. My comeback will slowly happen.

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Friday’s Letters!

Dear Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...
