    It’s that time of the quarter!

    Written by: | February 22, 2012

    Where everybody starts getting ready for the next quarter. We’ve reached  the 3/4 mark of the quarter and scheduling is slowly closing for next quarter. Of course due the my two majors, pre-med, and my honors/upperclassmen privilege of scheduling early (yes, upperclassmen get to schedule before the rank below them, and if you’re in honors or an athlete, you also get priority) So I got to freak out over what classes to take a lot sooner then my friends. So it’s come down to a cool, calm 20 hours, of only three academic classes. Read the rest of this entry »

    Minimalist’s Lent

    Written by: | February 21, 2012

    Lent is a few days away. Are you ready to give up your junk food?

    I know I am.

    But that’s redundant. I couldn’t do that right now. I have too many other things going on.

    Paying the Price

    Written by: | February 20, 2012

    I came to a strange realization recently. In the summer leading up to college, all I kept hearing (and, to be honest, saying) was “I want to go to college”, “I can’t wait to start a new life at college”, “I need to get out of here and go off to school” and other variations of the same idea. Now that I am here, my ears are ringing with “I’m so excited to go home”, “I can’t wait to go home this weekend”, “I haven’t been home all quarter, I’m going to die” yada yada yada. Ben Franklin once said there are two things that are certain in life, death and taxes. Personally, I would like to add complaining to that list.

    Getting Involved: Or How I Mastered the Art of the Involvement Fair

    Written by: | February 19, 2012

    As someone whose high school friends often came from clubs and activities, it’s been weird for me to suddenly not be as involved.  I’ve joined a few clubs.  Tried some things out.  But I still spend most week nights at home.  I was beginning to feel lazy.  And thus I arrived at the winter involvement fair.  Read the rest of this entry »

    The Longest Twenty Four Hours Of My Life: Or How I’m Fortunately Still Alive

    Written by: | February 13, 2012

    Recently, I experienced a horror I had not foreseen as I embarked upon my first year away from home. It was a grueling twenty four hours, but I’m proud to say I’ve survived. What could such a terrible horror possibly be? Well I’m glad you asked. Read the rest of this entry »

    I Need To Start Climbing Again

    Written by: | February 13, 2012

    Apart from my more formal posts, this one is pretty much catching up on my life.

    I love to rock climb. But since my recent chest injury, I haven’t been able to rock climb or fulfill my habit of working out. So, in order to keep up my motivation for getting back into the habit as soon as possible I like to watch climbing videos from previous competitions. I like finding highlight videos because they have the most difficult moves, and show the power I need to get to.

    Although as one of my sassy friends put it, “ it’s actually a lot of people’s last quarter ever, because fall will be a semester =p” (seriously? -_____- oh well, I wouldn’t enjoy them as much if they weren’t so witty) but… it’s mine because I’m graduating this spring. :) Read the rest of this entry »

    Why You Couldn’t Pay Me To See “The Vow”

    Written by: | February 9, 2012

    I realize that I’m in the minority here, at least among women. But sitting in a dark theater openly sobbing with seven of my female friends and moping around for days afterward really just doesn’t appeal to me. Read the rest of this entry »

    Start a Habit Slowly

    Written by: | February 7, 2012

    This February, I’m starting a new habit. This month I really want to start working out. I’ve tried to before, and was able to do it for a couple weeks, but like a lot of habits I ended up falling out of practice.

    About a week ago I started. I went to the gym one Saturday and it felt great. But it didn’t feel so great the next day. I was expecting to be sore, thats understandable. But my chest just hurt so much. So instead of going to work out that Monday like I had planned, I decided to wait and let my muscles heal up.
