I Must Be Insane.

So, a few days ago I started this new diet and exercise plan.  Hopefully, by the time I go back to school, I'll have lost some weight and toned up!  There are some very specific rules to my diet:

No...

Chocolate

Candy

Cookies

White Bread

Biscuits

Donuts

Muffins

Cake

Pastries

Chips

Fast Food

Nutella

Peanut Butter

Spreads

Ice Cream

Fried Foods

And Anything that Looks Remotely Unhealthy

Also, I'm drinking only water! Well, trying. :D

So... basically trying to cut carbs completely for a week and incorporate them back into my diet in a healthy way.

So, what can I eat?! I'm having an interesting time so far!  Last night, I made 'Roasted Stuffed Bell Peppers' for dinner with my besty.  For lunch, I'm planning on Either a grilled chicken salad or a steak salad, I'm not too sure what I want yet.  Kill me now, but then comes all the exercise:  100 jumping jacks, 90 crunches, 80 squats, 70 leg lifts, 60 jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 40 squats, 30 leg lifts, 20 jumping jacks, 10 minutes of cardio.  On top of that, running 2 miles at least once a day.

Hopefully I can do this thing, if not, I'll keep working at it! (:
I hope everyone's having a wonderful break!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Finals

Hey guys,

Anyone else notice that its that time of the semester?  No, not the end.  Not yet.  :(  It's finals time and everyone around here is crazy.  I haven't seen a properly dressed person in quite a while.  We all have that same look: leggings, over-sized sweatshirts, hair up, no make-up (or yesterday's make-up), sunken eyes, some weight loss, and no voices.  Everyone's sick, stressed out, and overworked.  It's about time for the semester to be over with and it will have all been worth it.  Bring on the all nighters, overdoses on caffeine, and for some, the addy.  I'm sorry for leaving you guys hanging, but I've been so busy with school and such that I've had no time to just sit down and do this.  I'm only here because I'm trying to procrastinate as long as possible before I really have to get on this final project.  It's due at midnight tonight.  I should be getting on top of that, but I just really don't quite feel like it.  I've been in bed all day and I can't speak, so that gives me a little bit of a reason for procrastinating.  Haha, not really.  I know the only reason y'all sat here and read all of this is because you're procrastinating as well, so don't judge!

I hope everyone's finals go really well and we all leave school with a sense of pride in the work we've done this semester, AKA: how many nights we don't remember how we got home safely or how many times we ditched class because of hangovers.

Just kidding guys, I've been working REALLY hard here at High Point University and I plan on staying up all night on Tuesday (the day of my last final) to CELEBRATE all the hard work that I and all my classmates have put into this semester.

All my love and best of luck on finals,

No sleep 'til New Years

Before I start, let me explain the title.  A long time ago I came by a pin that was colorfully decorated and upon closer inspection, I saw that it was inscribed with the words "No sleep 'til New Years."  Back then, I had NO idea of what this could possibly mean.  This past week, I think I found out.  Aside from it being a band, that is... (:

I told myself I would NEVER go out on a school night...  I also told myself I would go to bed earlier on school nights...  Obviously, I was not thinking this past week.

Monday night, I was literally awake ALL night.  As in 7am was when I finally felt tired and I had a class at 8:30, what was the use in sleeping?  Well, I obviously needed some because I woke up 30 minutes late for class and didn't get there until there were only 10 minutes of class time left.  Monday night I stayed up studying until about 1am, helped my friend make DayGlow t-shirts, went to Cookout at 2:30am, and then stayed up talking until 7am...  I am out of my mind.  Trust me, I know.

Tuesday was my earliest night of the week.  I stayed up until about 2am studying and then I went to sleep.  However, I did go out this night.  I went to dinner, a hookah lounge, and just hung out with one of my close friends.  We had tons of fun and I am forever grateful to him.

Wednesday night, however was absolutely awful.  I was awake until 6am.  I went out and didn't get home until 4am!  Hookah lounges, hanging out, and a bar later, I don't get home until 4am!  I stayed up another 2 hours later talking to my boyfriend.  Yep... 6am.  What is wrong with me?!

Thursday night, my friends from home (Anna Greene, Mo Yarboro, Jessica Hargett, Pj Whitaker, and Zackary Thompson) all came to stay with me.  We went completely insane and I don't remember falling asleep.  So... yeah, I have no idea when or how I got to my bf's room that night.  Good times...

By Friday, I felt like absolute crap.  I had a fever, my stomach wanted to kill me, my head was pounding, and I had SO much to do on Friday!  Friday night, I felt so awful that all I wanted to do was go to bed.  Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep and of course I stayed up ALL night.

Saturday night, my friends Pj and Zack came back over and stayed.  We went out to the Greek Village for a while and then I started feeling sick again!  Go me!  I had a fever, stomachache, and headache all over again.  We all spent the rest of the night watching a movie and finally passing out around 2 or 3am.

Finally, Sunday was here!  I spent the majority of the day in bed and finally to get a manicure and a home cooked meal!  I baked a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling (YUM!!!).  We finally got back to school and were in bed by 1:30am.  Again, I couldn't sleep because of my fever, stomachache, and headache SOOOO I didn't sleep. :(

It's Monday morning... I am dead tired and I just want to die.  History class is absolutely awful and I still have Chinese after this.  4 days until Fall break.  I am so excited.  I miss my bed SO much.

With all my love,

Silly Kids, Trix are for CARS!

Let me just start off by saying that my day has been amazing so far!  Aside from this whole allergic reaction thing with my eye, it had been great!  Some donut holes, an Orangeade, a mani/pedi, a GHETTO car, speeding home, a quick change, AND a lovely message telling me I had a package later...  we have a blog post!

Yesterday, I went to get a mani/pedi with my friend Devin.  We had a great time.  It was fun.  Blah blah blah.  The actual fun stuff came when we left.  In the parking lot, we find this... This... Well, you just take a look and tell me what you think.

 

Yeah...  Silly kids!  Trix are for CARS!!! :D  Hahahah.  After seeing this car, Devin and I went speeding down the highway to get back to HPU.  It was 6:20 and she had a reservation at 6:45!  We pull onto campus at exactly 6:45 and let me TELL you.  This girl was up four flights of stairs, put on a dress, back down the stairs and half way across campus before I pulled back around the building!  As we say in theater, QUICK CHANGE!

Last night, my roomie and I decided to move our room around...  Two girls, moving furniture.  That was not exactly the best combination.  BUT we did it!  That's what I call TEAMWORK.

Hahaha, Chandler got stuck behind my bed while we were moving it.  :D

This morning I got a message that my package came in!  I am SO excited!  My brand new Red Dooney & Bourke Crossbody Pouchette came in!  It is SO cute.  I love love love love love it!  Gosh, I keep trying to cut this short, but my day just keeps getting better!  

Tonight, I am being indicted into the SGA at school and tomorrow I am driving up to UNC Chapel Hill to stay the night with my very first BFF.  What a weekend it's going to be!

I hope everyone has an awesome rest of the day and I hope you guys enjoyed my blog!

Love always,

Great Day!!

Hi lovelies!

Today is going to be an amazing day!  I woke up this morning and my eye was swollen, but it is much better now!  NOTHING is going to bring my day down!  What could make a better day?  I've got my Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL, nestled in my shiny coffee cozy of course!), a pumpkin roll, a krispy kreme donut, celery sticks, my flower headband, and pink toenails.  Today could NOT get any better, unless Eric Bana showed up and asked me to marry him, but that is a totally different story.  Oh, I also got a 96 on my test in my Music course this morning, so that was a nice little addition to my morning!

So, I'm sitting here in my History class listening to a lecture about the "Social Consequences of Industrialization."  Did I mention that History was never my forte?  I should probably be paying WAY more attention.  Hopefully, my PSL will keep me awake for the rest of this class and through my Chinese class after this.  I can actually SAY things in Chinese.  Come find me and I'll say something to you.  Haha.

My History teacher is SO priceless.  He makes jokes every class about something sexual.  Today it was about being drunk in college and possibly being our grandpa...  Uhm... hashtagAWKWARD.

So here's a taste of what college is! (:

Anyways, I've got to get on these notes!  I'll update later!

Love & Kisses,

COLLEGE

Hi guys! I know it's been forever since I've posted, but I figured it's about time I get back on top of this!  I've been procrastinating on getting back to you guys on an update, but I finally got the motivation to do it!  I figured that the B.O.B. concert here at HPU might be a great way to let y'all know what going on in my life.

So, I started school on August, 20th and I am NOT looking back.  I love it here at HPU and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  In my time here, I've experienced a lot of growth, and no I don't mean my height.  We all know that I'm NEVER getting any taller.  :(  I feel a sense of maturation and responsibility that has come with starting college.  Now, all that's mushy and nice, but what does it actually mean?

No, I don't party EVERY single day.  I do study and I do spend time in the library.  Granted, our LIB is extremely nice and I would spend time up there on the balcony any night, I do spend time studying.  I try to manage my money and I don't drive all up and down the world like I used to.  My car is finally getting a little rest!

Kill me now, but I'm also taking CHINESE.  Before you comment, I am NOT Chinese.  I am Vietnamese, and they are nothing alike.  I'm doing great in it, but not because I'm Asian.  I PROMISE you this.  There's SO much I want to update you guys on, but I can't think of it right now!!

I hope you guys have had a wonderful day and I PROMISE I'll be writing more!

Love always,

Tomorrow's Awakening
