Making Friends


Yesterday we had class outside. My sorority was having a philanthropy event outside so I went over to talk to some of the girls that were there. I had talked with them over Snapchat and text but never met in person because of the pandemic. I went to the gym but decided to do my class outside and sit with them. I was able to get to know the girls and see some of the girls I hadn't seen in a while! It was so good being able to catch up with everyone. I planned to be there for maybe an hour or two but ended up staying out there for five hours. 

Those girls are some of the best friends and I am so excited to continue to make time to hangout with them and spend time on the quad more to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while. I know I have isolated myself a bit and been less social with people since the pandemic so I am making it a point to step out of my box a bit more before I graduate and loose the chance. It's never too late to make friends. I find that I get in the mindset of "Oh I'm graduating so whats the point in making new friend because I'm leaving." I already have plans to hangout with these girls even more! Hanging out with them yesterday was some of the most fun I have had this year and I can't wait continue to hangout more with everyone!

Senioritis

We are at that point in the semester where we would normally be going on spring break and the senioritis is starting to sink in. It's the point where I am starting to burn out and I know a lot of other seniors are as well. I have been trying to come up with ways to keep the stress levels down and the motivation up in order to finish out the semester strong. There are a few things I have been doing. The first things I have done is continue to focus on working out and going even when I don't necessarily feel like it. Working out helps a lot with stress and on the days that I am tired and sore and just want to lay in bed, I make sure I at least go an do some cardio and ab workouts. Another thing I have done is yoga. I have been trying to stretch and meditate at night before bed to calm myself and relax before going to sleep. That has helped a lot with being able to sleep and not having my mind running a million miles a minute thinking about everything I have to do. Finally, since

Changing My Mindset

      A lot has happened in the past year. At a glance, I might be compelled to rattle off all the terrible things that have happened in my life, in my family and friends lives, in the country, and even the world. That is all I have focused on. While some of those things might be a topic of a blog post in the future, that doesn't mean I am back tracking and going back to a negative mindset. I think writing about it is a great way to put your thoughts on paper, figure out how you truly feel, and then try and think of the good that came from it.      There have been so many great things that have happened this year like starting my senior year of college, hitting the one year mark with my amazing boyfriend, getting to spend more time with my family, learning to cook amazing food, and focusing on exercise. Those are all incredible things! While some of that may seem small, I choose to make it big in my mind. I want to relish in it and be grateful for what I have. When I notice myself

Relaxation and Flexibility

       Hello everyone! It's only Wednesday and it has already been a week. I really needed that snow day yesterday for a bit of a break but I could use about 10 more of those at this point. Yesterday as I was finishing my workout I was thinking about what I should write about this week. I realized that I'd like to share the thing that I have been doing at the end of my workouts and what I plan on doing a lot more throughout my day to calm down, get some peace, and relax.      I used to be a gymnastic so I hold myself to way to high of a standard when it comes to fitness. I have lost a lot of flexibility since I retired from the sport and I have decided I want to gain that and some skills back this year. I went searching online for a new stretching routine to follow. I have one from my old practices but I wanted to switch it up a bit. I stumbled across a Youtuber named Mady Morrison. She makes videos on yoga, fitness, and lifestyle. I watched a few and really enjoyed it. Since I
