We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have...

“Stuff your eyes with wonder . . . live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. “

Spring Break. Two words that to every student, no matter the age, are a godsend. I am sitting in my living room watching my roommate pack for her spring break adventure, avoiding the last bit of cleaning and packing I have to finish still, and got to thinking. Honestly, I am feeling a little down tonight, I think it’s a mixture of the snow outside, the cold I am desperately trying to fight and the lack of adventure I feel like I will have this spring break. It’s funny how when I think about vacations I always dream up these wonderful scenarios of great things to do and see, even though in reality I know that I will most likely be sitting at home. Because of this, I was inspired to make a list of things to do, adventures if you will, that I can do while at home. A staycation can be just as fun as a vacation with the right mindset ☺ SO without further ado, my mini adventures for the week:

1) Go to the Library and get a good book, then take it to a park I don’t normally go to and just get lost in the story.
2) Visit someplace in town I don’t go enough. Window shopping in a funky strip mall, walking through a touristy place I never go to anymore….something along those lines.
3) Re-connect with people I have lost touch with. One of the best things about spring break is a lot of old friends are also wondering around home bored.
4) Get ready and truly go OUT. Bar, Club, Fancy Dinner, anywhere really, but OUT. I feel like as a 20-something my going out experience is very limited but now is the time to change that.
5) Take a day trip somewhere.
6) Be courageous, spontaneous, silly. As my best friend would say LIVE NOW
7) Say yes to at least one thing I want to say no to. Let it change my life
8) Do as much as I can with my family. It’s one of the best parts of being home right?
9) Get REALLY crazy once.
10) Help someone out. This is prolly the most important one. I want to do something to make someone else’s spring break a little better ☺


A meager list I admit, but it’s a start. I have some not fun things I have to do over spring break, and now I have a list of some very fun things to also do over spring break. Reading these you might think that I am crazy, or boring, or maybe even a little shallow, but I think that everyone can relate to feeling bored and uninspired by life, or disappointed when time off seems wasted. Finding little things to fill your time and make you smile is the best way to live your life, and have the whole thing feel like an adventure after all. Hopefully my list can give you some idea if your just hanging round home for your break. At the very list reading this blog will give you something to do. Get inspired, and go out and live your life to the fullest.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's to happen next."

Hello everyone! I am so sorry for the long hiatus, school and life for that matter have been a little crazy :) BUT today is a beautiful day, and I figured what better way to celebrate then a Wonderful new shiny blog. My inspiration today comes from this school year almost being over and me going into my FINAL semesters of school. It is crazy to me that four years have zoomed by, and that I have almost completed my first undergraduate degree. As I am sure many people could guess, this is causing a LOT of reflection in all aspects of my life. Jobs, friends, living arrangements, love life: really everything in my life has the opportunity to transform into whatever I want it to. That is an AMAZING thing to me! I think even though not everyone is in my particular situation, that there are a lot of people that are going through BIG changes in their lives and I know that it can be exciting but terrifying. With that said I want to encourage anyone that has these changes looming to take a deep breathe with me, close your eyes and imagine the craziest of possibilities for yourself. Let yourself see the future as you becoming famous, moving to a new place, finding that amazing job, living your dream or finding true love. If you never dream, you can never achieve and if you don't consider every possibilities, even if they are far fetched and crazy, then you may miss out on something you never even realized you wanted!
True, the place I am in my life makes it easy for me to see the silver lining, and to dream big, but there is no reason at all that a big change shouldn't provide you the same outlook. Even if the change is coming from something not so happy. Even if it's the end of a relationship, a friendship, a marriage, bankruptcy, eviction or anything else horrible that you can think of, it can still be a positive opportunity. There is no reason that a negative event has to breed negativity. It may be hard if you are in one of these situations to see my point, but just feel what you need to feel and tell yourself your gonna be ok. Every change is life is an opportunity to better yourself, your life and your outlook :) SO with that said, here are some quotes to hopefully lift you up, make you dream big, or at least heal your hurts a little.

"Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever."

"The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place."

"Rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around."

"Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, we may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long."
