Day 24: Whatever tickles your fancy

Again with the tickle your fancy question! Well, for this one I will talk about my favorite workout. It is definitely now P90X because it is the most amazing workout EVER! I went to the gym yesterday and tried to do as many of the workouts as I could remember, but it just wans't the same. Its such a varied workout and its all crazy hard and amazing for your body. One of these days, I will invest in my own copy. For now, I am a poor college student who has to bum it off her sister whenever I am home. 

Off to the rec center I go to get my workout in!

Day 22: A website

ok, so i didnt post yesterday because I was too hung over. I am not going to try and pretend it was anything else because, after all, I am in college. Lol so a website that I am fond of it www.getglue.com because it is awesome. You check into things you like and gain stickers which you can actually  have sent to you. I really dont know why I like it so much, but I do. 

Day 23: A YouTube video

I am pretty sure this one has probably been posted a bunch of times already... but I have to do it. 

My other favorites are anything on Michelle Phan's youtube page, she's an amazing makeup artists and has some awesome DYI skin care tips!

Day 20: A hobby of yours

Does riding my motorcycle count as a hobby?

Day 21: A recipe

Soooo both recipes I would even want to talk about are top secret ;) they are to my Frango cake and my dad's amazing potato salad!

19

Day 19: A talent of yours

Ummm. I honestly can't think of something fun and unusual to put here. I can sing? I like to pretend I can dance ballet? I like to think I can act? 

Oh! I pick up accents pretty well. When I watch true blood or the blind side I always pick up southern accents it's ridiculous. 

Ps I didn't do one yesterday because a) my computer keyboard is being dumb and I couldn't get online and b) I am tired of the tickles your fancy question.

So this week I've been going through sorority recruitment. I have wanted to be in a chapter for so long, and really I just can't explain why. But yesterday on preference day, I was only invited back to one house that I knew I did not fit into. It was quite upsetting considering I clicked so well and had great conversations with two other houses all week long. I was quite upset when those two houses didn't invite me back for preference day. I'm still pretty bummed out about it. But what can one do when this happens? I've been told I can still do informal recruitment, so that's a possibility. I suppose I will just focus on trying to study abroad in London and we will see where everything else goes.

Day 9: A photo you took

So, our summer was super crappy this year which lead to some amazing late blooming roses that were just gorgeous in our yard. One rainy day, I decided to go take pictures of them.


p.s.


Here is your daily reminder to vote for me :)

So since i could not do one yesterday I will post yesterdays and todays in this post. 

Day 7: A photo that makes you happy

that would be me and one of my adorable nephews! i dont think I need to explain why this makes me happy :) he is precious!

Day 8: A photo that makes you angry/sad

So, anytime I see a man crying I lose it. I start sobbing. I have always been that way. It doesnt matter if it is a movie, real life, tv show, anything with a man crying it makes me so incredibly sad! I cant help it.

All right so I just need to say, I am in my dorm at school (for now....) and lets see what all I forgot: makeup (all the really good long lasting nice stuff), hair brush, tooth brush, birth control, deodorant, hair dryer (dont worry, i remembered the straightener and curling iron but not the hair dryer), and I am sure many other things that just haven't occurred to me yet. I am awesome. 

So, here are my Macgyver tips:

1: if you have straight hair like mine, you can blow dry it with the regular fan! awesome. Takes a while, but it works.

2: When lotion has been forgotten, hair conditioner can work in place to moisturize the skin. Doesn't feel as silky smooth, but it works.

So I am officially on my way back to school. I am not at all ready to go back yet, but you've always gotta do things you're just not quite ready for. So sad. I will miss everyone very much, who knows how soon I'll be able to see everyone again, hopefully soon.

I will post my daily things about me later today/tonight or maybe tomorrow, we will see.

Goodbye home, friends and family

Day 6: Whatever tickles your fancy

Whatever tickles my fancy!? Hmm. Ok then I will talk about school since I leave tomorrow. So, I really am hoping to get into a sorority. Don't ask me which, I don't particularly have a preference yet since I don't know a lot of people in the different houses. I am not at all excited for my classes to start.... biology, chemistry and calculus. I. hate. math. Thats all I have to say. So not only will it suck having to take calculus, but chemistry is a ridiculously hard class. Why they would make the 100 level of a chem class a weed-out class, I have no idea. I mean, its gotta be used for more than one major across many different majors. I haven't taken biology from this school yet, but I've heard its not too bad. We will see. 

I am looking forward to my fencing class though!

Day 5: Your favorite quote

So like always, there are tons of favorites I have but this time I can actually narrow it down to 1!  

“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.” - Coco Chanel

So, before I do my daily thing where I answer questions about myself, I feel like actually posting. So, I leave on Saturday to head back to school. Oh the teeny tiny town that is my school. I will be staying with a couple of my amazing friends that also attend my school and I am so excited to see them. They are amazing and we always have so much fun together. But, starting on Monday, I will begin the rushing process of formal recruitment for a sorority. I am both excited and nervous. I am afraid my GPA will keep me from getting into a house that truly fits my personality. I am also afraid that I will just end up settling if that does happen, because I want to be in a sorority so much. I wish there was a way to meet all the presidents of the different sororities and tell them that my academics are the most important thing to me. My first semester is always a transition period where I get use to the new place, teaching styles, professors, homework etc. That I really need and want to get my grades up and from now on will get 3.8 GPAs at a minimum per semester so that I can get into Duke or USC or Washington University in St. Louis (the top 3 PT schools) to get my DPT (doctorate in Physical Therapy) degree, but I just need some help. 

Not to mention, I have hardly gotten to see my nephew S all summer long, he just turned two recently but was away for his birthday! I dont know if I will get to see him before I leave or not. I will miss him, my other nephew B, my sister and brother and their spouses. I'll miss my mom and dad, all of my friends.... I'm really hoping I dont get homesick like I did last time. 

But one thing that will totally help: my new iPhone 4 has officially shipped!!! Get ready friends, because we will be facetiming it ALL THE TIME! woop woop

Day 4: Your favorite book

Hmmm. My favorite book.... well, I am a book worm. So again, idk if I can only choose just one. Unless we cut down series of books into just one, I will have a million books. So I think I will do just that lol.

1. The Vampire Academy series
2. The Harry Potter series
3. The House of Night series
4. The Count of Monte Cristo

1. Avatar, The Last Airbender
2. Gossip Girl
3. True Blood
4. Dexter
5. White Collar

And as always, vote for me pretty please! :) You can vote once a day!

Day 2: Your favorite movie

1. V for Vendetta
2. Letters to Juliet
3. Miracle  
4. Iron Man (both)

   Heavy in Your Arms - Florence + The Machine from the Eclipse soundtrack

Sooo I used to write a blog on rare occasions. Then I stopped because my mom found it, and when in high school that is pretty much the worst thing in the world. It led to some interesting conversations, but nevertheless, I deleted any and all blog associations I had and was basically done with it.

Then, I figured my life was too boring to really be writing a blog about it. But I feel like my sister is constantly laughing at me and the silly things that happen, so I figured, why not!

Plus, I wanted another space to post my entry to the Nieman Marcus Passion for Fashion contest. I mean, I do like to pretend I am fabulous and from the UES (..... upper east side... duh), and I do like to think I am occasionally like Blair Waldorf (she dresses so fabulously and can be so bitchy to people its amazing most of the time), so winning a Nieman Marcus gift card would be the highlight of the first anniversary of my 21st birthday. So don't be surprised to see this everyday for the next 18 days, maybe even twice a day if I am feeling especially frisky.

So (I'm channeling Lafayette here) vote hookah!
