"She Refused to be Bored, Chiefly because She wasn't Boring" - Zelda Fitzgeald

  So I haven't posted in a while now and that's because every time I've sat down to write I have these really positive intentions, but then it just turns into a long complain fest. So here goes my final attempt in not doing so:
  Where has the time gone? Just last week it was only the end of January, and now we're about to start March.  After next week it's spring break, and midterms, with all this time that has already slipped through my fingers, what feels like so quickly, why have I not put myself together yet? Jordyn, not only already lives in Spain, but is spending her spring break in Berlin and Amsterdam, Sydnee just had her big little reveal last night and Traci is still in RHA and doing so wonderfully, Elena lives in D. C., Michael is killing it in school (and on the piano) and me, well I commute. I feel as if everyone important to me is living out some part of all the collegiate dreams I've had. The worst part of all this is that I know i can only blame myself for the things I have not accomplished.
  I have a couple options: too continue to compare my failures too my loved one successes, start from scratch in attempt to making new plans and goals, or repair the bridges I’ve burned and start living out the person I’ve wanted to be so long now. Honestly the first two options sound the easiest, but we all know what I should be doing.
  So here is my game plan, because I refuse to continue living this boring, complacent, quickly passing by life:
1.      Savior each minute - stop thinking about what I’m doing and focus on what needs to get done in the preset
2.      Love Libraries - the reality is I am so unproductive most places besides the library, so do what ya need to do to spend more time there. Snacks, headphones, etc!
3.    Sleep More - 6 hours minimum, stop depriving yourself from one of the best parts of life, you are so much more productive and happier when you’ve had a sufficient amount of sleep
4.      Organize your Life - Planners and list are your best friend.
5.      Dress Intentionally - Dress the way you want to be perceived & No Andrea, you don’t wasn’t to be someone who only lives in a constant state of napping
6.      Don’t be Boring - Force Michael out on random dates, Sydnee too, groupon life 
7.    Stick to a budget - Life is so much better when you feel a sense of financial accomplishment and aren’t asking your mother for money
8.      Community Service - Life is better when you’re helping others
9.      Rebuild burned bridges - I’m in this uncomfortable state of life, where I have more people I’m uncomfortable about running into, then I do to call up and make plans with, that can only change if I do something about it
10.  Sabbath Sunday - God gave us a day of rest for a reason, use it
11.  Write it Out - I have  recently fell in love with Moleskin Note Books, they are so simple, yet my favorite out of any journal/notebook I’ve owned. 
Okay, I’m sorry you read all of this and that I switched between first and third person so much.. Today begins some more life adjustments, may March bring us both us blissful moments that are worth Instagraming.
