I've been slackin....

Thank you Katherine & Amy for getting on to me and reminding me that I need to stay on top of this.

Between being caught up in binge watching FRIENDS, classes beginning, working out again, and having a somewhat social life seeing I have wanted to become a hermit and read more than anything, I have not been blogging like I intended to.

Grad school: Good news is that I was informed that they would defer my application for a semester so that I do not have to resend all of my transcripts and pay the application fee. Yes I am still bitter that I wasn't able to send final grades last semester courtesy of an extremely shitty professor, BUT the good news is that if I can pull A's in the classes that I am retaking this semester my CUM GPA will then be a 3.22, and grad school requires that it be a minimal 3.0. Fingers are crossed that things go accordingly, and that I can get in, the one downfall will be attempting to find housing halfway around the world a month before classes would begin. I have had people ask me questions on whether I have thought about applying anywhere in the USA, and the answer is yes (but being by an ocean is a major bonus so I am going to apply to UNC and FIU)

Life: I have started a workout routine with my little and then Amy, and I can say that workout sessions always tend to be entertaining when their company is present. Regardless of if it is getting caught up on all the latest things going on in each others lives, or running around the square and laughing when someone almost falls (mainly me). Speaking of falling, just to solidify the fact that I deserve an award for being the most accident prone person on the face of the earth, I managed to completely bust my ass on a banana today. Most of my friends that have heard this have said "That only happens in cartoons!", yes I know this, but I am pretty sure that the majority of my close friends can all agree that if anything only happens in stories or movies happens to me. As true as that statement may be, and how unfortunate it occasionally is depending on the situation, at least it adds entertainment to life and provides for some great stories later on, and life lessons that can be passed down to those nearest and dearest to me.

Banana incident: Best part of this was that I saw the banana peel on my way to the gym and thought, its going to be so funny when someone slips on that, and then of course I end up being that person. Ohhhh the irony. I managed to run at the gym, and get through 11.7 miles on the bike, but walking will ALWAYS be something I can never manage to grasp. The worst part was the fact that I could see my car from where it happened, and now I have banana on the top of my new running shoes that I was wearing for the second time because I just bought them over the weekend. Thanks to my little for coming to the rescue and meeting me with tissue paper in order to clean my knee some before attempting to further than my car to the sorority house, and Sarah for having bandaids.

Conclusions for the day: I deserve an award for how clumsy I am, and then I have also learned today that my BS tolerance is about as long as I am short. Here's to finding the entertainment in any situation, and for those friends that join in the laughs. Time to go pay attention in class, even though I would much rather be on a beach, but lets be honest-- who wouldn't rather be on a beach instead of dealing with bipolar weather and monotone professors?

Tomorrow I will have to post the playlist that has been getting me through this week, and some newly discovered gems.

Its been too long

Boy was I wrong with thinking that I would be able to maintain a blog and a life during this fall semester and the second part of summer classes. Needless to say this is something that I will be getting back into.

August-now was absolutely jam packed full of memories, good and bad, but I wouldn't trade a single one of them for anything. Im currently attempting to figure out how to put my life into words, because its not the easiest to summarize months, let alone the amount of memories I made so bare with me.

First sorority life: I managed to grow close to so many girls I would've never thought would be some of my best friends within my sorority, and met so many new people. One of my favorite memories hands-down would be the countless nights that were spent working on the dreaded homecoming float. It was the best homecoming I could have asked for and we had the best partners that we could've possibly had. There were so many nights that were spent laughing so hard I cried, or the impromptu dance parties we would have jamming out to 90's and today. I gained another grand-little who fits perfectly into our family. I took part in welcoming an amazing group of girls into our sisterhood whom I can say I would do anything for at any time. I moved into the house and had so many memories with my Roomz (laughing goats) and have a new gained love for TSwift after her. Nights where we did absolutely nothing but sit around and talk and laugh, or the nights that I cried over grades and my little and god-little tell me to stop and everything is going to be okay. Then there were those that I managed to share a twin sized bed with my best friends for a couple nights which was EXTREMELY interesting and I really wish pictures had been taken on how we would end up passing out haha. Zeta changed my life in so many ways, and this semester was definitely the best semester I had within Zeta.

Then there was actual school. BLEH. Honestly the worst semester of my LIFE, and I have a new found hate for accounting after Intermediate I, and I am incredibly happy I changed my major from Accounting to Finance after my first semester in college (yes I declared as a freshman, joys having been top 15%, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing to declare that soon). Club Willis had been my life, included with tears shed over redbull and shots of espresso on ice. They hadn't been mixed together, the redbull and espresso that is, but maybe they should have been. Looking back I still can't believe that I managed to pull so many all nighters, have a social life, manage homecoming, and a position within zeta without completely losing my shit. I learned that I definitely want to be involved in corporate law in the future, and I need to invest in a scheme to bottle sleep and sanity in jars to sell. Grad School has been postponed by a semester so I can have some downtime and retake Intermediate I for a better grade, BUT I am also going to go ahead and start studying for my GMAT and GRE to take those and apply to schools stateside as a backup plan. Schools near the ocean are going to be my focus, but Sydney is still the dream, and yes Sydney, Australia.

Actual Life. Boy 2014 were you interestingly difficult but great at the same time, go figure. I did manage to check a few more things off of my bucket list: scuba diving, zip-lining, repelling, tubing down the guadalupe river, and I plan to do them all again. I had the chance to see one of my favorite bands live, Kings of Leon, thanks to my best friend and it was the first alt rock concert I had been to. Bonus is they are one of my favorite bands. Countless weekends were spent at the lake, until school overwhelmed my life once again. Countless sunburns were gained, and I finally went camping in August and then again on Labor Day at the lake. Of course scars were gained, joys of being accident prone. One scar is from attempting to put artwork I received back into the box it came in, but still no broken bones so I guess that was good! Nights out with my sisters and best friends and guy friends and then Lady Wings, are definitely ones for the books. Walking at graduation, and one of my best friends making it home on leave for graduation with later being surprised by another good friend I hadn't seen in years, grandparents making it down, and seeing so many of my amazing friends there was the best graduation present ever.

I suck at trying to sum months up into one post with words so I'm uploading a video of photos and videos combined once I can figure out how to do so, but my goal is to maintain this better now that some free time is definitely going to be present. Friends were made friends were lost, just like relationships. 2014 you were nothing short of a learning lesson, and I will definitely be taking everything to heart. Would I go back and redo anything for a different outcome? NOT A CHANCE IN HELL (except for rolling my ankles countless times).  I still stand by what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and in everything there is a good thing to be learned and positive light present. Cliche? Yes, but its the truth. The love and support I have had from my friends this year has been the most I have ever felt in my life, both through the good and the bad, and you may not have been mentioned in the post, but you all know how much you mean to me. If I haven't been social or in contact much its because my life had been so insanely busy and hectic and overwhelming, and well the past few weeks I took to disconnect from the world some and decompress. 2014 thanks for the memories, 2015 lets be better and make it even bigger.

Here's to not looking back, and slamming some doors shut.
