(New Year post - take two 🎬 the first time I tried to upload there was a technical malfunction 🙄)

>>Two weeks until Spring 2018 classes start! 😱

Getting a head start on an education class using note taking printables from @emmastudies and the Stabilo pastel highlighters that I finally ordered!

I am determined to have a fabulous semester! It has taken a lot of work to pull myself back up, but I have realized that self care and mental health are seriously important factors in success. Depression and anxiety are not things to be messed with! No one should be ashamed to admit that they are struggling or afraid to ask for help.

I have carried a lot of awkwardness from being a non-traditional student, but I have had to realize that that doesn’t make me any less than a typical college student. Sometimes detours happen in life, but we can still be ambitious, driven, successful, and happy. 💗

With that said, always chase your dreams, whether you are 8 or 80. Never sell yourself short or think that you aren’t capable.

days of the week;

monday: snoozing your alarm clock, navy, seeing the moon in the morning, vanilla ice cream, writing poetry, blurry photographs, windswept hair, iced coffee

tuesday: seeing a cat on the street, a light rain shower, untied shoelaces, indistinct music from someone else’s earphones, empty coffee shops, denim jackets, long train rides

wednesday: pastel highlighters, drinking water, group laughter, plucking daisy petals, floral scents, counting down to a birthday, peonies

thursday: old books, a downpour, telling the truth, comfortable silence, hand holding, wrapping a gift, the smell of leather, reminiscence

friday: neon lights, sweet cravings, a little bit drunk, falling in love with a stranger, remembering your dreams, cherry red, late night showers, desserts at midnight

saturday: watering plants, childhood cartoons, a bowl of cereal, meeting someone new, waking up early and laying in bed, spontaneous plans, sitting on a rooftop
