Whobe whate?

 I saw this picture on Pinterest and wow does it describe my life perfect right now

I probably haven't clued you in, but I have the honor of guiding my sorority through recruitment this year... oh hey Membership VP. But to whom much is given much is expected. In my case that means chapter total is going up and unlike the usual informal spring recruitment, we are having "semi" formal recruitment (whatever that means) Now getting finding my "me" time just got a little bit more complicated. God bless my sisters and my poor boyfriend. My scattered brain just went to a whole new level. So back to the texts, FB messages, and constant to do lists, and oh wait my new BFF: MY PLANNER! Who knew plans were so important?!

Love to all!
(messages of encouragement or advice greatly appreciated ;) )

Oh yeah I forgot and school...so that's what I'm here to do.... ;)

I have been meaning to do that

Welcome back to my always eventful and crazy world. As you can see coming back to the blogging is a slow transition for me, but since its a new year and those " I have been meaning to blog" excuses or by the wayside, I guess its time to continue what I started.

This New Year is a little different than many before, I am really at the crossroads point in my life. I'm over halfway through my college career, trying to figure out my career path, but in spite of all of that I have lost sight of "me" time. I hate to plan, I am not a planner by any means, I try to go with the flow, but yet I'm stubborn, crazy right?! On top of that, I give up so much of my time helping others that I lose my personal time to keep myself healthy and happy. So this year is about getting back to the basics making myself happy, so those close to me don't suffer through my boring depressive states. Its hitting the gym and eating right. Its giving up some things while clinging to others, its finding that fit. When I think of where I was this time last year, I still smile because I have had such wonderful opportunities and people who surrounded me who have help me to grow. Learning last year, I couldn't do it all myself and leaning on others to help me was great, but now I just need to put myself in perspective a little more. So here's to a NEW YEAR, my year!

Times have changed and so have I

What have you missed since march? LOTS and LOTS! I like bullet points to keep it from getting confusing

• Clemson Boy(kBe) and I are still going strong
• kBe's mom just finished chemotherapy for Breast Cancer (We're thinking a lot more pink these days)
• I'm officially a 21 year old, feeling no different just a little older
•  I now bear the title intern, yes it is exciting, nothing big but I am loving every moment and soaking up so much knowledge
• I'm still living the sorority life and in full force now, I am living in the sorority house (absolutely LOVE!)

Most of all I have learned more about myself these last few months, I think I ran from blogging as a way to hide away from everything, but blogging is something I enjoy and is a great tool for me to use to express myself and the things I love. I have learned to not live in the past but to press forward in to the future. I may not have it all figured out and I probably never will, but learning to embrace that it is the key.

Glad to be back!

Huge Announcement....if your even still reading

I AM BACK! After much debate, I have decided my blogging hiatus is over! While much has changed and I have debated whether to began a new page, I think sticking to what I know with maybe a little uplift is the right move for me. I cannot wait to be back in it, I have missed it SOOOO much. If your still a follower and still a reader be sure to leave a little note, because my most major hold up is the fear of all my readers having given up on me. Be ready for a wild ride and so many new adventures!!!

Thought this was the perfect quote to represent my new blogging philosophy :)
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

A Day in the life of...

Ahhh about over this silly sickness and boy is the spring weather helping, but I have so much to share:



What you've missed:

• I got selected to be a Rho Gamma during recruitment next fall, basically this means I will disaffiliate with my sorority during recruitment and be a counselor for the potential new girls going through rush, some of you might know them as Pi Chis, they are the same thing! Can you say khakis shorts instead or dresses and curls?! I am pumped!


• The fine university I attend selected me as its target for a parking ticket last week, my first of course because my silly hang tag fell. Cut me some slack?! Not only will the ticket be over $20 but they also took pictures of my car. Thank you rent-a-cop!

Now for the post: A day in the life of my parents

They are crazy, goofy, and sometimes annoying but I love them and I just had to share the adventure I had with them last weekend. It was straight out of a comedic film. We went to a local history museum and what a hoot that was... the poor museum had scratched out incorrect info instead of replacing it...but my dad was fascinated so it was fine. After all the "great" history we learned my parents decided to become a real life Louis and Clark and search out places they saw in the museum. Needless to say the iPhone was the true explorer because it found our destination before Louis and Clark. In between there my parents decided we should join the grandparent crowd at 4:00 in the afternoon to eat. Early bird special much?!? :)Later on we went to visit my parents friends. Bare in mind these friends are in their mid 70s, so this included an evening of westerns and me hoping my phone battery wouldn't die. I love the people, but westerns ehhh not so much. Oh the hilarious life of my parents. It may not be my perfect evening but it was filled with memories and well a whole new perspective.

This week I am beaching it up with girlfriends from high school for SB! Hopefully I will be able to update you with photos, if my computer doesn't die because part of my charger is missing Ha!!! So glad to be back
