the "power" nap

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 22:14:17 -0600

You’ve probably heard it a million times, “Oh, just take a short 30 minute nap and you’ll be good to go!” Ummm really? I used to think a nap was useless unless it was 2 hours.. minimum. Since coming to college I’ve come to appreciate the power nap. I would be struggling to make it to a 2 p.m. class and I’d shut my eyes for 15-30 minutes and feel more refreshed then when I originally woke up. Sometimes just giving your body a break from the normal busy schedule can be a life saver. This is probably one of the best things I’ve learned in college (..ok besides the actual school related topics)!

inspiration

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:53:18 -0600

As I looked through a friends blog I thought “Wow, this is incredible.” To see someone express their desires, dreams, and goals is inspiring. It got me thinking how important it is to find something to draw inspiration from. For my mom, it’s this little black book with a daily devotional and a prayer. For others it’s work, family, or a promise they made someone. I haven’t quite figured out what my inspiration is. Yes, there are plenty of people in my life I’m simply in awe of, who inspire me every day. There is also prayer that gets me through life’s daily struggles… But, I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that truly inspires me. I don’t expect to just be walking down the street one day and BAM! inspiration hits. Yet, it would be nice.

“Saw this & now I’m sitting here crying like a baby. This is exactly how I feel about Daddy. the hole in my heart is so big. I pray every day that you will be as lucky as I was, & marry a man as wonderful as your daddy. I had a good daddy too, & God gave me a husband that I never dreamed possible. And the best part of us is you. I love you angel.”

My mom sent me this today. We may argue and fight, but at the end of the day I love her with all my heart.

new myspace?

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:53:21 -0600

Has anyone else heard about this new myspace?? One part of me really wants to check it out…. Let’s get real, if I add any more social media to my life I just might scream. Check list time: facebook, check. twitter, check. instagram, check. pinterest, check. tumblr, check. myspace, eh? Seems like there is enough going on and myspace kind of fizzled out quite some time ago. I’m actually kind of interested to see if this revamp works out for them… or it could just be another google+ incident…. yeah, I tried that too.

um, yes please :)

perspective

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:40:11 -0600

I know this sounds super cliche, but the older I get the more perspective I seem to have on life. People like to say “oh well im older so that means i know more.” But I think it’s the life experiences that matter; the cards you’ve been dealt. So much has happened to me in the last year, that I could never imagine would. It’s amazing how one event in your life can change everything. Your views, outlook on life, or even day-to-day activities. It makes you realize, that in the grand scheme of things, what really matters. It makes you question what is life’s purpose or what decisions take precedence over another. I see strength in myself that I didn’t know was there, but also weakness that I don’t normally let surface. For years I’ve wondered when things would change for me and what direction I would be pushed in. Finally, it’s happened and I’ve never been so unsure yet focused at the same time. After almost a year of feeling stuck in a daze, a fog over my mind, I’ve finally broken free of that hold. After countless prayers and sleepless nights, things are starting to look up. I feel like college is like this for a lot of people. The journey of self-discovery. But then again, I think there has to be some life changing event to force change upon us. Very few people actually embrace change on their own. Certain things have to happen in life to really bring true perspective. So hop on because this is just the beginning.

rediscovery

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 21:19:50 -0600

This is probably the first thing I’ve ever actually written on here. Probably because I feel I have no business assuming I have anything to say that anyone will actually care about reading. Yeah, sure blogs are supposed to be a symbol of self expression or an emotional outlet.. blah blah. I guess it seems rather contrived to sit around thinking of things that could be “entertaining.” But, hey it’s a new year, opinions can change. I just recently rediscovered I had a tumblr and figured I’d actually use it. Let’s see how long this lasts.
