Sometimes one just needs a day of relaxation...

I, personally, haven't really gotten one in awhile. But you, you there with the face, relax. Soak up some rays even if it's a little chilly outside. I'll just be sitting here on a Monday afternoon, in my sweats, working on a few papers. 

Yo ho!

Yo ho!

The college life for me! 

Triangle.

Bare with me right now as I'm trying to get into the hang of this whole college and blogging thing. I'm so not ready to finish this blog, but I also don't know how much time I can devote to quality posts. Maybe it will end up being a 3 times a week thing, I'm not really sure. 

What with writing so many freaking papers a week I think it would be such a good thing for me to be able to have a relaxed writing environment so I don't get overly stressed out about writing. A creative outlet. Anywho. 

College has been going so insanely great. There are, of course some things I'm not entirely crazy about... things I don't think would be appropriate to write online to protect the not-so-innocent. Whelp, I'm off to band practice. Yes, band. I play the triangle. Be jealous. 

Through Smoke

One of the best things so far about living in a highly populated area is that there are tons of shopping options. Which could end up being to my demise. I mean, there is literally a Meijer, Kroger, Walmart, Target, Kmart, and a huge Goodwill. What more could a girl ask for? Right now I don't have a job {If I do ever end up getting one it probably won't be till at the earliest second semester} so I'm trying to manage my money well. But it's just so darn hard when Goodwill is right there and they're having a 50% off day!!

Anywho, I got these mugs at Goodwill. I think they'll be a nice addition to my little mug collection. When I first saw the one with blue on it I thought it may be Pyrex... but it's not. Boo. The yellow one was made in Japan though, in 1976! I thought that added even more character.

I'm trying to get back into the habit of posting daily, but please excuse me if it just doesn't happen sometimes. I'm so in love with blogging, but I'm trying to figure out how to best fit it in with everything else that's going on right now. 

Current Desktop

I've never been big into desktop backgrounds, usually just the default ones. But I was getting super tired of the standard galaxy one that Macs come with, so I got on handy-dandy Pinterest and looked up cute desktop backgrounds. I found the most perfect one ever. Seriously. How much cuter could it get? Plus there are anchors! And helms, which are Bethel's thing. So, you know, it works. Right?

But, yeah. This is what's currently on my desktop. In case you were wondering. Whiiiich you were. It was just too cute not to share!

Elements

On Saturday my friends and I went out Goodwill shopping and afterwards out for lunch. I've never eaten Chinese before so that's where we went. First of all: I loved it. Delish. Secondly: The owner was just the sweetest little thing. She came and pulled up a chair next to us and asked us what we had been thinking of getting, we told her, and she described the entire dish to us and if we weren't sure about something she told us something else we may like. She was just the sweetest little lady ever. 

I can't tell you how much I am sincerely loving it here. Sure, I miss home like crazy. I miss it so much. I miss my bed, and Hunter, and Mercy-Roo. But I love so much of being here. The fact that I have friends, real friends, is one of the best things. I love sitting in our rooms talking about useless things and sometimes really important things.
