I Have No Self Control. You're Lucky I Have My Pants On.

Do you ever have one of those days where you don't want to complete one single thing. What about a semester? This is my current life right now. Completing anything without a nap is seriously a struggle. I know I need to accomplish things but I don't want to do them... so I don't. When I think about what needs to be done, it becomes overwhelming. It is a vicious cycle that only ends in naps, carbs, or crying (or a combination of all three). Slowly and steadily this train is dragging her caboose up the mountain and graduation is almost upon me. I am equally excited and reluctant.

Side note: I have recently found new room mates for next year. I don't know them well but I have good feelings about it. It feels very serendipitous and they laughed at my Mortal Kobat gif, so I feel like it is going to work out well.

Here is a top 10 list of things I would rather do instead of homework or anything else that ACTUALLY needs to be done (in no specific order):

1.) Playing Cards Against Humanity

2.) Karaoke

3.) Ordering Mexican Takeout and over-indulging

4.) Roaming Walmart for useless items

5.) Taking quizzes on Buzzfeed

6.) Reading Cosmo or a book or the nutritional facts on the closest junk food

7.) Making Powerpoints about useless information (Example: My Dating History)

8.) Cat pictures. Enough said.

9.) Googling useless things to impress people while making small talk

10.) Reminiscing the golden age of boy bands

P.S.
This blog title not only comes from the fact that I don't want to complete anything I start but also because I lack self control in other areas. Tonight there was a major episode of Grey's Anatomy and although my room mate and I are trying to watch the show fully from start to finish, I could not stop myself from jumping ahead 29 years of Grey time and reading spoiler blogs about it. Basically, I have no self-control when it comes to things like this... and also no shame.

What I Love About College.

So, I have moved away to college. I graduated from Community in December and here I am, recieving a higher education and drinking so much coffee that the people at Starbuck's on Campus know my name.

It's really a great and I love it here. It's nice to be on my own, mostly because I live in a dorm and I don't pay have to actually pay rent, but hey, who's counting that?

If anybody tells you that College is real life, they are lying. College is like this weird transition between childhood and adulthood. Sure, some people are out there really working to support themselves and maintaining the status of full-time student and I commend them. However, I would say that most traditional students, probably spend more time microwaving ramen noodles and debating which classes they can skip and not get dropped from the class roll.

If you are reading this and debating whether or not to go away to college: JUST DO IT! Real life can wait. Marriage can wait. Getting a real job can wait. There are few experiences like living away from home but still being considered a kid. It's like this whole new crazy world that you get to experience for the first time, it gives you the chance to just hold off on the workforce a few more years while actually learning something of value. Aside from the advancement that an education gives you, college is just something you shouldn't miss out on. There is always something going on. Also, there are free t-shirts. Everybody in college wants to give away free t-shirts and you can't miss that bandwagon!

Who knew being unemployed would be such hard work?

So for the five people who may stumble across this blog and have no clue who I am, I recently lost my job.

I worked for an attorney as a receptionist. I was hired for 6 weeks as a temp and stayed for a year and a half. At some point though, I do plan to leave the nest and transfer from community college to a four-year university. So they found somebody more permanent to fill my position. No big deal. (Except for my grandma, who wanted me to stay at my job and never go away to college. Ohh Grandma! Hahahaha.)

Since my termination, things have been insanely busy. I spent 3 weeks at my Dad's house in Florida. It was a grand time. I returned a week and a half ago and I don't think there has been a slow day since.

When I pictured unemployment, I imagined a lot of couch sitting and time to catch up on some overdue chores, blah blah blah. But it has been crazy. I think I have done everything. Swimming trips, girls lunch, spray painted everything that would lie still, cooking, packing, cleaning, vaccuming, sweeping, sewing, grocery shopping, buying 70lbs of sliced ham for church camp, music practice, book club, Walmart runs. Oh my!

But I'm really not complaining. It has (mostly) been fun and I have enjoyed the time off. I have church camp all week, next week. Pretty excited about that. I've been working closely with a group of great people and seeing this endeavor come to fruition is so exciting.

It won't be long until I'm back at Mineral College: where the freaks flow freely! Oh joy!

Enjoy this picture of me and the guy working in the deli where we bought 70lbs of ham!
