I threw a Mad Men-themed party last night! It was a wonderful success :)
By the way, who knew vegan chili would be sooooo good and tasty?? Even the carnivores enjoyed it. Recipe coming soon!
I’m alliiiive and well! Just been SUPER busy with school and being the Online Features Editor for the Sac State Hornet! ahh! :)
Got a hurrcut today? Whatya think?
Dare to be Victorious
The other night I was honored the opportunity to do a photo shoot with my good friend Sarah, who is a great photographer. She took these photos of me, and I am extremely happy with them. A year ago, I wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing a photo shoot, because I wasn’t quite comfortable with myself. Even the other night it was odd getting my photo taken in such a fashion because I’m not used to being in any sort of spotlight. Like what??? you want to take photos of ME??
I had a lot of fun, and I feel that these photos represent me wonderfully. I have always loved the Victorian era and all the modesty that went with it.. If only I could dress like that everyday! :)
Today I spent 5 hours at our local cosmetology school getting a perm… It was excruciatingly painful… but worth it. I will post better pictures of it put down once I am able to wash it/put gel in it. Right now it’s just frizzy… hah
I have been doing great lately. My health has been well, and despite being in contact with MANY sick people for the past few weeks, I haven’t gotten sick! Thank goodness for healthy eating and multivitamins! By the way, I have been eating healthily (Of course I eat chocolate, cookies, and muffins here and there), and I have been watching my portions so I can continue to feel, well, normal. hah. Today was a wee bit cloudy. I planned on riding my bike, but once I got done with my hair I just wanted to go home (I did ride to the cosmo school, though)…
In a little over a month I will have my Associate’s Degree in Language Arts! I can’t believe it’s already happening. Life has changed so much for me within the past few months. I feel like every day I am growing up a little more, and gaining new experiences which are going to benefit future experiences. My dorm is already reserved at Sac State, and while I am EXTREMELY excited, I am also a wee bit nervous. I am the first person in my family to be accepted into a University, and the first the receive a degree of any sort. Both of my parents dropped out of high school as Juniors in high school, and have never stepped foot into a college classroom. My older sisters graduated from high school, but they were remedial schools for troubled teens. Unfortunately, they were also teen parents and were never really able to go through college. Now that their children are older, though, they both plan on going back to school and getting degrees. So, with this in mind, you can see how Sac State is a big deal to me.. I can’t believe I am actually doing it! :)
Anyhoo. I hope everyone’s Saturday is going magnificently!
SNOW IN CALIFORNIA!
whatttttttttttt??! haha.
Thursday was MAGNIFICENT. Snow was everywhere, but the next day you would have never known it snowed the day before.
This is me out in front of my college cafeteria in the new MEDIUM-sized coat I got from Target. It’s crazy that I actually used to wear an XXL in Target coat sizes… and they were even a bit snug then! :)
For breakfast this morning I had a nice big cup of black coffee from 7-11 (bad, i know), half a sweet potato, and some raw mixed nuts. Mmmmmm.
