Getting back into the swing of things

Alright I'm staring week two back at UW. And can I just say I am already exhausted?

I thought that a new semester would be easing back in, especially since I am officially moved into the Chi O house. That was the only new thing I had, back to class, back to work. That first week was beyond crazy however, I had so much going on. First off we at the paper were preparing for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, also known as equality day here in the Equality State. And secondly I got initiated this weekend! I am officially a full Chi Omega.

Now that the whirlwind week has died down I'm falling back into the swing of things. Study habits have reared their ugly head telling me that I am trying to go for all A's this semester, and that means putting time in. This has reaffirmed by love in Spotify! I just love it, especially when looking up movie scores to study to. I have been way way to addicted to all things Frozen lately. It is simply the cutest movie! I love that Disney has been stressing the importance of family love before anything else. It makes me super happy.

Hope you all have had a great first week back at classes, can't wait to see what this semester has in store! Check out the Days of Dialogue on campus there is a lot of really inspiring stuff going on! Remember that there is a basketball game tonight in the AA and this Friday at seven in the Feildhouse there is a wrestling tournament, and it's a Greek competition to see which house can get the most people there!

Check out the schedule of events here!

How was your first classes? Anything special happen to you in this first week back?

Happy New Year

It's been eons, and I feel awful. For the last week I kept getting the nagging feeling that I should just log on and explain.

After midterms I got extremely busy, classes got harder and work was beyond crazy. Every time I thought about going to write, I wanted to fall asleep instead. Right before thanksgiving I got bad news. I had a death in the family someone I was very close to. I threw me way way off kilter.  Since then all I wanted to do was see family. We had the funeral this last Saturday and I'm finally starting to feel back to normal, I've mourned and I know that I need to get back on track. I didn't do as hot in my finals as I should have. I put the hours in before but right around finals week I just couldn't concentrate.

But it's a new year and I really want to start fresh. I've been looking at some really inspirational posts, pictures, and ideas for the new year. My favorite thing would have to be have a jar for all the moments you want to remember, just stick a note in and at the new year read through them all.

I just feel like this is going to be a good year, and I really am excited. I want to make this year one with no regrets, and to go after what I want. I feel like TV can suck us in and we obsess over the characters more than our own lives. I can say that I definetly fan girl over somethings, but I am also going to be active in my own life. You know Nike's phrase Just Do It? I totally agree with that, I don't mean just physical stuff, but everything. I want to go out and do whatever I want, staying grounded and getting what needs to be done done and then pursuing my life.

So go out pursue what you believe in and make 2014 an amazing year, because life truly is what you make it. You'll be hearing from me lots more, and I hope to hear from some of you.

How was your 2013? What are you planning on doing in 2014? 

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season, happy New Year!
