TYRA

Once upon a time, when Jace and were roommates, 

and Tyra the art figure model was our friend, 

we did a project of tyra and her poses. 

i found these the other day and they still make me laugh.
i only wish i still had the pictures of tyra with a wig on.
but thats another story for another time.

things i wish i knew about college before i came

-leaving home for a new semester never gets easy.

-fun filler classes are great. but stop taking them after your first year. because now you have to wait another semester to graduate.

-you actually do want to save your money up now. and take AP classes.

-the next semester always comes too quick

-start being social sooner.

-soda addiction is real. cut yourself off now!

-the six girls you live with most likely all had sisters, and most definitely will all want to share your clothes. come up with your excuses and rules....now!

-no matter how much you hate school sometimes, you will always love it

monday

first day of another semester.
i think i've finally gotten to the point where it doesn't feel like a big ordeal every time this happens.
um, the bachelor is starting tonight. HELLO!
i'm really working on my posture, because its supposed to help prevent the usual land mine of knots on my back. its more of a conscious effort than i thought it would be.
i miss being with my family every day. i had such a wonderful break with them.
on that same note, my dad makes the best pizza out there.
keeping to my resolutions proves to be more of a conscious effort as well, but i really like it all so far.

things i'm looking forward to:

- a new semester with my wonderful friends and new possibilities
- juan-uary 5th ;)
- my best friend's wedding
- taking pictures at best friend's said wedding with my other best friend
- packages (i'm expecting 3)
- the annual birthday bash
- change. resolutions. everything.
- the almost unbelievable idea of warmer weather

resolve

simplicity at its finest. 

i'm on track to trying to become a softer, 

more kind and loving girl

that would emulate her testimony and Christ-like love.

cheers to the year!

january looks like
