my final month

I don't really have anything to say this week, so I've been putting off blogging in hopes that maybe I would come up with something to say. So yeah, I haven't.

My brain is 100% consumed by attempting to make it through this last month of school. And let me tell you, it's HARD. For real. I graduate exactly a month from yesterday. Like graduate. Like I've been in school since I was about 4, and now I'm going to be done forever. What??

So since I'm strugs on strugs trying to get all my papers/projects/presentations done, you can instead gaze upon this darling picture of my friends and I last night when we got together for some birthday love and Thai food (obviously this combination called for a break from school work).

Wish me luck this next month. I need it. I really really need it.

peace. love. and stressed out.

my snow days

I am so so stressed out about all of the papers that I have due, but at least one thing in my world is going absolutely right even if everything else is confusing and stressful, and that is that I have caught the Christmas bug. I started listening to Christmas music this week (mostly the She & Him Christmas album on repeat), and I hung up Christmas lights in my room, and it is snowy and beautiful outside, and I just couldn't be feeling the Christmas spirit anymore than I already am (ok maybe I actually could if it weren't for finals). The world just seems to become a slightly more cozy place to live in around Christmas time though, doesn't it?

We've had a lot of snow in Utah this week, and I have heard a lot of people say that they hate the snow. I have to admit, that sentiment has escaped me at times too, but honestly how could I not relish in anything so beautiful. I have been obsessing over the giant icicles hanging outside my window, and I cannot ever get over how gorgeous and peaceful falling snow looks. I may seem a little grumbly when I am walking to school and it is dumping snow on me, but that is only because my face is numb from the cold, and ones ability to have a positive attitude virtually disappears when faced with a numb face.

This is what my walk to school looks like now. I pretty much just slide my way to campus and try not to look like a waddling penguin, but hey I have still yet to completely eat it (knock on wood), so I guess that's an accomplishment. 

Like I said, you cannot deny that snow is absolutely stunning no matter how many times you slip. 

Can't wait to get to the actual Christmas celebrating, but I must make my way through all these papers first. So, here's to just a little bit longer of too much work, feeling overwhelmed, and being utterly confused (no actually I don't think that one is going to end with the semester....I think that's just a young adult thing....or a life thing).

peace. love. and white Christmases. 

my finals week

I wrote and turned in 4 essays last week. #winning #englishmajorproblems (I love twitter and hashtags. follow me @danicron)

Couldn't be more relieved to have all my essays turned in for the semester and can't be more relieved that this semester is almost over. I am craving a fresh start.

But, before any of that can happen I have to take finals.
Don't worry though, Ryan Gosling will get me through them.

Wish me luck ya'll. See you in a week Georgia (try to be warm for me). 

And good luck to all my lovely, talented, wonderful friends who are taking finals this week also. You can do it!!

Must focus on finals and not social media and playing....

peace. love. and focus.

my stress

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. 

Yep. The end of the semester. This means that I have finals coming up, but also that I finally get a break. Yeah, Thanksgiving is a break too, but not in the same gloriously stress free way as Christmas break. When you are done with everything, and get a fresh start next semester. Not to mention that my fresh start next semester will be occurring in the city of lights, Paris. 

But lets get real here, as far as I am concerned Christmas break feels like a hundred years away...maybe I should just focus on my last few days of classes and my 17 credits worth of finals coming up.

peace. love. and stress relieving activities.
