First food gifset, something I’d like to try: Balloon Chocolate Bowls (x)

LIFE IS WONDERFUL

(Tip from Chichi: make sure the chocolate is liquid, but not crazy HOT, lol. It’ll melt and pop the balloon. Plus, you know, ruin all the fun. :)

Being Happy

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:50:47 -0400

It’s so funny how unhappy people are. And for the silliest reasons too. People want more friends, to find love, more money, better jobs…we’re obsessed with having more of what we do have and wanting what we don’t have. I’m not excluding myself from this group; if anything, I’m writing this as a critique of myself. I am privileged enough to go to an amazing (and exorbitantly expensive) top 20 university, have loving parents and family that support my decisions, the most wonderful friends who I can talk to about anything. I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and food in my mouth. Most importantly, I am healthy and I am alive.

It’s not until I sit here and I write these things that I am so lucky to have in my life do I realize that for me to be unhappy and depressed is a silly thing to be. There are people in this world who do not have beds to sleep in and only 3 sets of clothes. But those things are of little importance to them. They are happy because they have love and compassion and caring in their lives.

From here on out, I will focus not on the scary and stressful things in my life, but on what is good and what puts a smile on my face. And so should everyone else. We can all be happy.

A personal life is personal for a reason. Why does everyone feel like I have to share everything with them? False.

I get so confused when I want to be alone because I know I hate it but sometimes I just need it.

Bookshelf headboard

Don’t have enough room for books? Store them neatly near your bed and crate a very…knowledgeable headboard. Or open up the books and post them on the wall, for easy access to any famous quote.

January Goals

Sat, 05 Jan 2013 00:26:33 -0500

lose 1-2lbs a week…so anywhere from 4-8 lbs a month. But preferably 8. We’ll see how my hormones feel about it.
Wake up early and get to the gym rather than putting it off for later.
Clean my desk once every two weeks.

So...I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions...

Sat, 05 Jan 2013 00:22:39 -0500

I just feel like having goals to complete over an entire year leaves too much room for error. Every time I’ve ever made goals to complete over 12 months, I tend to forget about them by my birthday. That’s why this year I’m going to try something different.

So I’m going to set a couple of short-term goals every month that, hopefully, by the end of the year will have helped me achieve one big, overarching goal. For example, as always, I want to lose weight this year. But rather than just leaving it at that, I’m going to set a little goal each month to hopefully make significant progress by next Christmas.

I think it’s a solid system. And I’m hoping that these little goals eventually turn into habits that I can maintain.

New Year, new ideas, new awesomeness.

HI TUMBLR WORLD

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:03:57 -0500

I know I’ve been kind of AWOL but I’m BAAAAACKKKK

I feel like my lesser use of tumblr for venting means that maybe I had a better semester than usual? I’m just going to roll with it.

But still, renewed use of tumblr starting now. And hopefully for happy things.

TINY CAT ON A PIANO OMG

I finally know what it's like to have a sister.

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 02:28:23 -0400

I am honestly so glad for my sorority sisters. I’ve developed relationships with people that I would have never had if I hadn’t joined GPhi. These girls, regardless of how annoying or repetitive or obsessive compulsive I am, respect me and actually want to help me. They listen to me and have my best interests at heart, always. And I hope I’m there for them like that too.

I’ve always been really hesitant to call them my sisters. We’re not related. We are not sisters from different misters. No. And we’re all too different to be called sisters in terms of our personalities. But I’m starting to realize that this idea of “sisterhood” is in our hearts. It’s about how we look out for each other and how we love each other and would never let anyone hurt us. Yes we can get into fights, yes sometimes we’re incredibly annoyed with each other, and yes, there are some girls who we don’t understand. But aren’t all sisters that way? At the end of the day, despite our differences and despite how we feel about one another, we’d do everything for each other.

That’s what sisterhood is about. And I am proud to call every girl in the Zeta Tau chapter of Gamma Phi Beta my sisters.
