So, I know its been a while since I last posted anything on here. Though that is because I have just been busy. I started picking up a few more hours at work these last few weeks and also my first week of classes of my sophomore year started on the eighteenth of this month. So now that I am getting back into the groove of both having class every single day and not being able to sleep until noon and also working between 20 and 25 hours a week it is easier for me to post.
I have three classes every single day until half way through semester and then my Tuesday and Thursday drops down to only two once my Leadership class is done. Anyway, I also have already become better friends with a couple of people and have spent a lot of time with Brendan which is nice again - he is actually working on some homework right now.
I am loving that I have three different psychology classes because I love both of the teachers that I have and I also love my sociology professor because he is absolutely hilarious. I even have decided this semester to join Psychology Club this year which I think is going to be good for me to be about more people that are involved in my major as well. I know a lot of the people that I have in there already as well which is cool. We even had a barbeque tonight out at one of the psychology professors house and it was really nice to get to know more people that I didn't know already, plus it was awesome to not have to make food, eat Subway or pay for the food that wasn't Subway and it was really good burgers along with chips, homemade salsa, more chips, ice cream and brownies. I am pretty sure that I went over on calories for the day, oops!
Speaking of calories, I have been working on losing weight since back in July when I started using an app on my phone to track my calories as well as to track my exercise. Since then I have lost 6.2 pounds and I am actually really really proud of myself. I have a little under 12 pounds left to go before I reach my goal weight but I already feel much better. I walk to campus from my house every day and I don't feel quite as out of shape as I usually do which actually feels really awesome.
I even usually only pin food pins on my Pinterest that aren't going to be that bad for me. I made a Baked Chicken Parmesan the other day because Chicken Parm is one of Brendan's favorites and this was a healthier version. It was really really good and it is definitely one that I am going to try again - and also one that I need to write about on my other blog as well.
Anyway, I am slowly getting back in the swing of things and I am glad. I think it is going to be a good semester and hopefully you only hear good things from me from now on!

August 7, 2014;
I don't really have much of anything to talk about that is really exciting. I really just wanted to post a somewhat sappy message about how amazing of friends I have and how much I love them and don't have any idea what I would do without them.
This all came about yesterday while I was alone and for some reason I just really wasn't in the greatest of moods. I kept thinking about different things that have happened and for some reason last night they were really getting to me and I was upset of a lot of thing that really shouldn't upset me anymore and I don't think about it much in general because it is ridiculous.
Finally after I got over everything that was bothering and pulled myself together I basically told myself to shut up and realize that while yes things haven't been very fun at times, if I hadn't been through everything that I have been through that I wouldn't be where I was. I realized that the things that brought me to where I am today is also the reason that I have the spectacular friends that I have.
So many of these friends that I have now that I am so close to seem to be that I either knew them before times or I knew them while I was going through things that at the time I didn't know were things. Then after things occurred they were people who either were there for me while I was going through what seemed like some of the hardest things to ever go through. I also through all of that gained more friends or built stronger and stronger friendships with people who I knew before but never had talked really.
All I have to say is that everyone and everything in my life that I have now has come to be because of things that I have gone through in the past. Sometimes you have to handle things that seem like the end of it all only because there are brighter things that are in the future.
Today my quote comes from one of my best friends who told it to me last night when I was talking to him about everything that was going on yesterday.
"It's more fun to see where you're heading rather than remembering all the flat tires you had to change."
