Fantastic Morning
Oh my goodness! What a wonderful morning! It's only 9:15 am, and this day rocks.
First off, I'd encourage everyone who works out to do it in the morning, right when you wake up. It sucked the first ten minutes, but once I completed my workout it was only 8:30 and I was like Woohoooo I have all day to do whatever I want! I no longer have to motivate my busy self later to change and go to the gym!
Even the weather greeted me with a nice welcome hello as I walked outside. It felt like the morning in Mexico - a little damp, sun's a little overcast, but pretty warm
To top it off, once I got into the gym not many people were there, so it was really laid back and I didn't feel like people were watching me or anything, haha! I did a solid 30 minutes on the treadmill! Lets be honest, after the first 15 minutes, I wanted to die. However, I kept going. I kept going until the 5 minutes cool down period. BAM, like a boss.
I got back from working out and took a nice long shower! Yay for warm water.
Made myself a fruit smoothie for breakfast, and drank it while watching videos on this youtube channel called "SoulPancakes" . TOTALLY inspiring! I am telling y'all about it, because I want you all to visit the channel and watch them!
Alyssa Larsen told me about a specific video on the channel and now I'm hooked!
They're short little video tidbits that I can only describe as some good southern soul food for the soul. Good thing it's called "Soul Pancakes". I'm leaving some links below to a few of my favorite videos. I hope you find a few seconds in your day to watch them!
Lots of love <3

Weekly Video: Nineteen
I got to see the band Augustana, if any of you know them, it's probably from their song "Boston".
Anyway, it was amazing and changed my life. Dan, the lead singer, has an awesome voice, and is a fantastic writer. He inspires me.
Hope you all had a great weekend. Feel free to share this blog with anyone who's interested in knowing about my life.

You Know You're A College Kid When. . .
*warning this post may contain words that make some men uncomfortable*
Hello friends and family!
Here I am sitting in my bed, way after my bedtime, updating you on my life!
I'm going to start a new series of posts called "You Know You're a College Kid When . . . " which, I might also refer to as YKYACKW in the future for the sake of me pre-tendentious hands.
Today I'm going to tell you about my most recent shopping trip.
I'd like to start off by pointing out, that in case you didn't know I don't have a car with me at college. Many of you know, that this doesn't matter anyway. because I may have a slight fear of driving, but nonetheless I am car-less.
Well, my roommate, Megan, decided to go to Walmart yesterday. When this happens I get super excited, because it's my chance to get off campus! Not only that, but I was in desperate need of a few grocery items.
Lucky for me, I had gotten two giftcards for Walmart for Christmas, equaling $35.00's so I was pretty pumped going in with the mindset that I didn't have to spend actual money (wootwoot!) If I was really awesome, I would do what the giftcard was intended for, and buy myself something extra and nice for Christmas, however I'm a college kid which means that isn't going to happen.
Well my shopping list consisted of the following:
1-Tampons
2-Rechargeable Batteries
3-Black Eyeliner
4-Face Wash
5-Birthday Card
6-Carrots
7-Red Nail Polish
8-Index Cards
9- Deodorant
Now, what I was thinking while buying these items:
1)Ohmyeffinggosh isn't it bad enough that girls have to get periods, but they make these so bloody expensive! They should give them to us for free because they feel so bad! (. . . probably not the best choice of words ;) )
2) I got two for Christmas, but unfortunately my camera takes four. They were like $10 to buy, but it'll be worth it considering how fast I go through batteries with my camera.
3) I know I don't NEED to wear eyeliner, but it's pretty much the only makeup I wear and it makes me look less dead on nights I stay up too late doing homework and studying (like tonight)
4) It was needed. Stress does NOT look good on me. On an extra smiley side note, I just used it for the first time, and it smells like a pina colada. Now, everytime I wash my face I close my eyes, splash water on my face, and pretend I'm in Mexico or Aruba. It's like my own personal getaway!
5) I know a lot of crazy awesome people who's birthdays are coming up. It's the least I can do, due to how far away I am. I've gotta let them know they're on my mind and in my heart!
6) I am trying to be healthy, and I needed something crunchy so I didn't result to stealing my roomies pretzels. She shuns upon this, as does my chub.
7)Okay- so this was definitely not needed, but I look even more badass when my nails are red and I'm wearing my leather jacket. Plus, it was only 98 cents.
8) I'm a flash card freak! Did I mention I have a test tomorrow? I was serious about the fact that I was studying tonight.
9)Yeah, much needed. Especially now that I've gotten pretty good at working out everyday, the whole world is going to be grateful of this purchase.
Okay so overall, my total came out to be $35.41
Yeah, I had to hand over one of the crumpled dollar bills I had in my wallet. It definitely looked like stripper money, and I could only wish that was the case- I would make great money doing that at least.
Overall my points are this:
1) YKYACKW you spend your Christmas money on tampons and batteries
2) YKYACKW you consider being a stripper to pay for your college tuition.

EAC
Hello all,
I hope you're all enjoying your long weekend.
Take a moments and think about how awesome MLK was. . .
(Say a prayer or take a few seconds to be grateful)
Okay, so anyway.
Yesterday I planned a lovely lunch with my EAC. This stands for "Early Arrival Crew". During my orientation in June, there were a few of us who came the night before actual orientation and stayed on campus. There was a group that hung out that night, that got along really well.
Well that group got together the first week of school to go out to eat, and we went out yesterday too!
Many of us have not lost contact, but we've hardly ever hung out together. A few of us are roommates, (for example me and Megan, also Hannah and Emily), so in general at least one person has stayed in contact at least weekly with someone else in the EAC.
We hit it off as a group in June, and getting together yesterday really reminded me why. They are just some lovely people.
It just goes to show that even if life get's hectic sometime, it's great to catch up with old friends.
I'm attaching a few photos below of the lovely lunch date we all had yesterday at Chagos (a Mexican restaurant down the street.)

Let's Go B.U!
Tonight I went to my first Belmont sporting event! As some of you know, we unfortunately do not have a football team. On the bright side though, we have a REALLY good basketball team. There has already been like 15 games this season, but I couldn't go to the ones last semester (due to night classes) and I haven't found anyone to go with this semester until now!
I grabbed some of my favorite girls, Miranda, Jessie, Jennifer, and Sam, and we headed to the Belmont game. This game was a pretty big deal, because we were undefeated and so was the team we were playing.
We were up by quite a bit, until the last quarter, in which we became tied. Thankfully, we pulled through by hitting about eleven three point shots in the last quarter!
Belmont wins!
Here are some lovely pictures for you:

Self Doubt
I often find myself doubting my abilities, my future, my dreams, my faith, my goals, and mostly- myself.
It used to worry me a lot. All the doubt I mean. However, It really doesn't anymore. It frustrates me, yes. It irritates me, yes. Heck, it even saddens me, but doubting no longer worries me. Why?
Because let's be honest, everyone does it.
Everyone has those moments where they're doubting themselves. They doubt their talents, their decisions, each other.
These first two weeks back have been really long so far. I've been so busy and slightly stressed, which doesn't help me positive outlook!
I've been positive, don't get me wrong, it's just that It's been a little more challenging than how it normally is for me here.
Between my terrible first voice lesson on Monday, the daily reminder that everyone here is SO much more musically knowledged, and more talented than me, and the frustration behind trying to get better, but not doing so, is really starting to take it's toll.
I don't know what I want to do.
I don't know if I'll do music, I don't know if I'll work in public relations or grow up and do motivational speaking. Heck, maybe I'll even be a teacher.
For right now though, I'm going to stop planning.
I'm always the kind of person who plans. The kind of person who looks at the future, decides everything she wants, then makes 100 lists on how to get there and what is needed to achieve that.
I have more lists than anyone I know. It's a little crazy actually, who else do you know that has a College Bucket List, Summer Bucket List, 2013 Bucket List, actual Bucket List, and "Before I turn 19" Bucket list.
No one.
So here is the "plan".
No more planning. No more planning until August.
At least in terms of my future . . .
The last thing I know is that I want to be a counselor at a camp this summer. Be it in Iowa or in some other state, that's what I want to do.
It's on my bucket list to go to camp, I've never gone.
I like kids.
It'll be an adventure, and after all- you all know. . .
I've always liked an adventure.

Sunday God Rant
I am still trying to find the "perfect" church. I don't know why I think there is one, but I feel like somewhere along the way there has got to be a church I feel totally comfortable with, and get that "church family" feeling. Right? Maybe I have too high of expectations.
I'm stuck between what exactly I believe and what every other Christian believes. I'm really excited to dig into my "Understanding the Bible" class, and have debates with people.
I believe God gets to judge and make decisions- not everyone else. I may be wrong about a lot of things, but I know the three things that really matter 1) Jesus died for our sins. 2) We accept him and BAM we're going to heaven. 3) God is love.
I know it's all important (the bible, trinity, repenting, ect), but I know those three things, and God can deal with the rest. It's not my job to understand, it's my job to love and put my faith in Christ. I realized that it takes SO MUCH EFFORT to try and understand everything. I strongly believe that you only need to fully understand what YOU believe. That's why it's called faith. That's why you're constantly growing as a person and learning. If you think you know and understand than that's sad. Why? Because then you're going to stop learning. Stop trying to learn, stop trying to grow.
I like not knowing everything, because let's be honest- nothing is worse than thinking something and WANTING to be wrong.
For example- if you just KNOW that you're boyfriend is cheating on you, but with every ounce in your heart, you want to be wrong.
This type of thing relates to my everyday life. I don't know EXACTLY what God believes about homosexuals, sex before marriage, ect. I know what's said is said as sin. I know that sins are bad. I know that God forgives sin's though. I know that though I know the bible has some not super positive views on premarital sex and homosexuality- but I want to be wrong. I want it to be that I understand it wrong. I don't know if I can believe that if you're gay you're going to hell. I don't want to believe that if you've been raised Buddhist that you're going to hell. So - I want to be wrong.
However, this is the dealio. I DONT HAVE TO KNOW OR UNDERSTAND. It's my job to love the sinners, strippers, saints ,and saviors. It's my job to love EVERYONE. I have to have faith. God is the only one who has to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell- so YAY ME, 'cause I don't have to sweat it. I have no say :)

Pictures from this lovely Friday!
 |
| Welcome to Belmont . . . |
 |
| The Belmont Mansion |
 |
| Just normal traffic outside Belmont. . . (and these are the normal residential streets) |
 |
| Beautiful sky tonight! |
 |
| Board games with Jocelyn |
 |
| Singing us songs! |
 |
| Steve and I. We became besties. |
 |
| Sorry this is the wrong direction. . . It won't let me change it :( However, this is the BGV/guitarist, Josh. |
 |
| Our Asian picture! Landen (lead vocalist), me, Josh |
 |
| Me and all the Jocelyn guys! (Steve, Landen, me, Josh, and Alex) |
Jocelyn and Facebook
I'm gonna be honest, It's a little weird to not be checking my Facebook right now. However, I'll get over it. It's gonna be good for me!
Today was a LOVELY day. I literally do not even have one complaint.
It was 70 something degrees outside, I looked pretty cute, classes flew by, and I went to a Jocelyn house show.
They're a band from Iowa that my roommate Megan is obsessed with. They're not huge yet, but they've only been around about a year and a half. They kinda have a All Time Low or The Cab sound.
Honestly, they're lead guitarist/BGV has a better voice than Landen (the lead singer) in my personal opinion, however they're both good. It was cool to talk to people from Iowa again. Reminds me how different they are, even though Nashville is super friendly as well.
The show was SUPER fun.
They showed up at the house party (We basically paid $400 for them to do a two hour acoustic set, then just hang out with us). Well - I only paid $25 of it lol. . . but anyway. We played board games, ate pizza, then they played, and we just kinda talked for a while. They're in their twenties, but Josh (the BGV) and Steve (their secondary guitar player) were so cool and reminded me SO MUCH of my friends from home! Just they're chill personalities. Loved it.
Watching them play though. . .
It reminded me about how much passion singing gives me.
I'm going to take the time I save not going on Facebook, and put it toward learning guitar.
I always say it, but I have really been lacking motivation to put a lot of time and effort into it.
That's about to change.
Anyway, so I am going to be making myself up a new schedule tomorrow or Sunday, so I make sure I have time to work, workout, do homework, practice vocally, and practice instrumentally, and obviously go to class.
Think I can do it? Wish me luck. I know you're all my biggest fans.

Welcome Friends/Family
Hello lass's and lads.
As many of you know, I am deleting my Facebook.
That is probably what has brought you to this little blog of mine.
I'll do my best to post at least once a week about what my life has consisted of, so it'll be like a better version of Facebook stalking!
I'm sure many of you want to know why I'm deleting Facebook, so here it is:
1) I spend too much time doing pointless stuff.
2) If people really want to know about my life, they can call, text, email, snail mail, ect.
3) I am slowly starting to realize I've becoming less personable due to my interactions and amount of time spent on social media. Especially with the jobs I want to do in the future- I need to focus more time on becoming the best PR kinda person I can be.
and last but not least (because this is the main reason. . . )
4) I promised myself that I would focus on ME when coming starting at Belmont. I know it's selfish, but it's true. I'm going to be number one.
I'm getting to the point where I am judging myself and criticizing myself due to what I see everyone else doing via Facebook I feel like I'm having to put up this image, almost like a competition of who's enjoying their college life better. I am tired of taking a picture and hearing "put that on Facebook!" or "you better not tag me in that". How terrible is that, that it is everyone's first instinct when someone takes a photo?
It has started to affect my happiness, which isn't okay with me. I'm unintentionally comparing my life and experiences with everyone elses', which is just crazy, because we're not even on the same path.
So anyway, this is why I'm getting rid of Facebook. Hopefully you can respect my decision and hopefully this makes you understand why I'm doing so.
Okay so anyway, that's my Facebook story.
Sorry to disappoint I promise though, that I'll post at least one lengthy slightly witty post a week with at least one photo! That's as good as I can do.
I'll also post random blurbs sometimes about random thoughts and epiphanies. GET PUMPED.
Thanks for following and reading!
Comment below if you've got anything to say!

4) I promised myself that I would focus on ME when coming starting at Belmont. I know it's selfish, but it's true. I'm going to be number one.
I'm getting to the point where I am judging myself and criticizing myself due to what I see everyone else doing via Facebook I feel like I'm having to put up this image, almost like a competition of who's enjoying their college life better. I am tired of taking a picture and hearing "put that on Facebook!" or "you better not tag me in that". How terrible is that, that it is everyone's first instinct when someone takes a photo?
It has started to affect my happiness, which isn't okay with me. I'm unintentionally comparing my life and experiences with everyone elses', which is just crazy, because we're not even on the same path.
So anyway, this is why I'm getting rid of Facebook. Hopefully you can respect my decision and hopefully this makes you understand why I'm doing so.
Okay so anyway, that's my Facebook story.
Sorry to disappoint I promise though, that I'll post at least one lengthy slightly witty post a week with at least one photo! That's as good as I can do.
I'll also post random blurbs sometimes about random thoughts and epiphanies. GET PUMPED.
Thanks for following and reading!
