{blog world} Fill In The Blank Friday!

CHEERS TO THE FREAKING WEEKEND!! 

I have been singing this song all day. The weekend is here. THANK GOODNESS. This week was definitely better than last week but I am just so ready to be done with exams. I can't wait for Tallahassee next weekend. It is the light at the end of the tunnel. 

My plans this weekend:

Friday: Howl at the Moon with some classmates to celebrate surviving our Calculations exam today.

Saturday: Habitat for Humanity deconstruction with NCAP (a club I am involved with) and the FSU vs. Miami game at 8:00pm! GO NOLES!!

Sunday: Church and a study dinner party at my friend Lili's apartment. Good food, friends, and BSI.

What are your plans this weekend?

1.  One thing I plan on doing to relax this weekend is  taking a bubble bath and painting my nails. I have had a rough couple weeks, I need a relaxing weekend. 

2.  A big pet peeve of mine is  when people say they will attend or do something and then don't follow through. I think this pet peeve started when I started taking leadership positions. If you say you are going to be there - then be there. 

3.  I am really loving  the weather in Charlotte. It is beautiful. I love being able to roll down the windows and put on the heat seaters. I LOVE FALL.

4. The rain is   is amazing when you don't have to leave your house and you can snuggle in bed watching movies all day. But, when you have to actually do something, it is pretty annoying. 

5. My favorite girly indulgence is  chunky necklaces. I may not be the most fashionable when it comes to clothing but I am a beast at adding chunky necklaces to outfits! 

6. A song I always get stuck in my head is  "Call Me Maybe". It is so catchy and always seems to get stuck in my head. 

7.  The best cure for stress is going for a drive, with the windows down, music blaring. Sometimes I sing, cry or scream. Either way it is a great way to release built up stress without anyone knowing. 

HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND :)

Don't you just love Wednesdays? You are half way through your week and can see the weekend approaching. Wednesdays are one of my shorter days and I usually am able to eat at home, nap, study, and watch television ALL IN THE SAME DAY. Yes, my life is exciting. 

But today I have a new activity to add to my routine - kickball! I have my first WAKA kickball game tonight at 7:00. I joined the Charlotte WAKA Kickball Organization after hearing success from one of my sister in Tampa, FL. She said it was a great way to meet people, have a good time, and exercise. I think it will be a great break in my week and give me a little interaction outside the pharmacy world during the week. I am excited for my first game :)

For this week's post, I thought I'd share my new obsession with Pugs. I don't know if you have seen this amazing tumblr all about pugs, but it is one of my favorites and honestly gets me through some of my hard days. SO I thought I would theme this post funny pug pictures. I hope this puts a smile on your face - because how can you not love such a cute face! The sources for all these photos can be found on my pinterest page

Have a great rest of your week!

Thank goodness it is Friday. This week has been super tough for me. I have found myself so beat up and exhausted. We have had 3 exams in the past week. School is kicking my butt. There is just SO much information. You can never stop studying/preparing otherwise you will be very very behind.

This weekend I am:

Friday - giving a tour of WUSOP to applicants for the class of 2017, taking a very very long nap, getting Pho with a P2 friend, and hanging out with some guy friends.

Saturday - going to Charlotte Phi Mu Day, watching the FSU vs BC game at the Seminole Bar, going out in Uptown with some girlfriends from class.

Sunday - sleeping in!, going to church, catching up with friends, and getting caught up with BSI.

What are you doing this weekend?

1.  My favorite flower(s) are  sunflowers, daisies, gardenias and hydrangeas. They are each so beautiful in their own way. I am starting to fall in love with peonies thanks to pinterest and of course I have a love for the rose colored carnation (LIOB). 

2.  You should never talk about  getting wasted. I know that it may be funny stories but it really just makes you look bad. I also think that politics, specifically opinions and bashing other parties, should be talked about sparingly. I know that the election is coming up and it is a hot topic. But there is a difference in expressing yourself and being obnoxious. Please respect other people's views and opinions. There is no right or wrong answers in politics. Just be informed and respectful if you talk about it. 

3.  My favorite discovery as of late is Fago greek yogurt. It is so much thicker than the other yogurts and the non-fat plain is not tart. It is perfect for breakfast with pumpkin granola or for desert with carmel syrup. 

4. This fall you will probably find me wearing    anything mustard colored. I am currently obsessed with all things mustard yellow. I have a cardigan but I am in search of pants or a pencil skirt. 

5. I wish I were  sleeping/drinking/taking a bath/home in texas. 

6. My favorite TV show currently is   Revenge. I am obsessed with this tv series. I am so glad it is back! This season should be good. All of the actors look great this season! 

7.  This weekend I want to  relax, hang out with friends, and get caught up with school work and friends. 

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

Hello lovely people! Are you as excited for Wednesday as I am? Today has been a rough morning. I can't seem to wake up. October has proven to be a difficult challenge. 5 exams, 8 quizzes, 2 papers, and in class assignments. It's taking a tole on my beauty sleep and sanity. But I have to keep pushing through. When times get tough and I just want to give up - I say this quote in my head: "Hard things were put in our way not to stop us but to call out our courage and strength." This quote sits on my desk and reminds me that everything will be okay. 

But when I need to get through a difficult lecture, can't wake up, or just need a pick me up - I look at my Funny board on Pinterest. It always cheers me up and puts a smile on my face on the days I didn't think it was possible. 

So I hope this post makes you smile and laugh on your most difficult days.

Happy Wednesday...you are almost there!

THANK GOODNESS IT IS FRIDAY!!!!! I just finished my second BSI exam. These exams take so much out of you. I am beyond exhausted. I can't wait to go home, take a nap, bake some brownies, and paint my nails. It's the little things.

 This weekend is the perfect reward for a tough week of studying!! I have a fun packed weekend planned- tonight I am going to the Grace Potter and the Nocturnals concert and tomorrow I am going to a wine festival called Great Grapes with some girlfriends from class. 

I can't wait to just relax and have fun. Not going to think about school at all this weekend. 

What are your plans for the weekend?

1.  The last thing I ate was  two slices of Papa Johns pepperoni pizza at a cram study session last night for my BSI exam.

2.  The last time I went to the beach was a really long time ago, maybe Spring Break? March 2012.

3.  My last vacation was   this summer my family went to Breckenridge Colorado for two weeks! I keep thinking about the beautiful scenery and adventures we had during our trip. 

4. The last place I drove was    to school to take my BSI exam!

5. The last song I listened to was "Stop the Bus" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. I am actually seeing them in concert tonight!!

6. The last thing I watched on TV was   Real Housewives of Miami. I am addicted to trash tv.

7.  The last time I said "I love you" was  when I talked to my Dad last night on the phone.

So Fall is approaching very quickly. There has been beautiful weather in Charlotte this past week and I can only see it getting better over the next couple months! I decided that this week's theme would be Fall fashion! I love all the ideas that you get from Pinterest. I am trying to improve my fashion sense by mixing an matching different pieces in my closet. I have to dress up for class every day so I need to be creative and create new outfits since I am living on a grad school budget. Pinterest really inspires me to jump into my closet and create new outfits!

Hope y'all have a great Wednesday!

{blog world} White Jacket Required Book Signing

Yesterday I got to meet one of my favorite bloggers, Jenna Weber, from Eat, Live, Run. I have never been so nervous to meet someone before. I read her blog every day, cook her recipes, and knew her brother - I feel like I actually know her. I was so excited to go to her book signing and talk to her. My best friend Jen is the one who turned me onto her lovely blog my sophomore year of college. I loved her friendly and relaxed style of writing and her recipes were delicious!

I started putting two and two together and realized that I went to school with her brother, John. We were in ceramics together during my Junior year of High School. He was such a fun and relaxed guy. Unfortunately, my freshman year of college, he had an accident and passed away. I am so lucky to have known him and I know he is smiling down from heaven. Miss you buddy!

I also really relate to Jenna's life - I love her outdoor adventures, dinner parties, fashion sense, and her love for food. These are some of her recipes that I have made recently: Walmart Crack Cookies and Whole Wheat Banana Peach Muffins.

Go out and get her book White Jacket Required. It is a heartfelt book filled with delicious humor and love.  I cannot wait to read it!

Hope you all have a great Tuesday!
