Friendsgiving Fun

Hey guys!

Okay, okay so I haven't posted in a week, and I think that's okay. Everyone needs a break, and I needed one while I had 3 papers to write. I felt like I had to do a lot of writing and the blog was just going to push me over my writing limit. Anyway, I'm back and as I look at all of the posts I have written since August I feel so proud and accomplished. This little corner of the internet is mine and has been an amazing place to just be me. I hope you have enjoyed what I have written and any support though sharing it with friends or commenting would be great!

Today is Thanksgiving and I am spending it home with my fam! It has been wonderful being home this past week and getting to see high school friends, but it makes me miss Athens and my new friends. My high school friends all have other friends, new inside jokes, and new funny memories...it's all just so different. It makes me realize that I really am in a new stage of my life. I loved my high school times, but I am in a new place with different people. I love it, but it feels weird.

In honor of this time with old friends and new friends I hosted a FRIENDSGIVING! Yay! It is one of my 101 in 1001 days that I will be able to cross off! I decided to do a brunch because I don't think my body could hold 2 full turkey meals in 48 hours. Everyone brought an item, and it worked out so well. We all got to chat and just spend some quality time together. There were 11 of us at 10 different schools so getting everyone in one place was wonderful and rare.

I would really recommend hosting a get together with old friends or new friends or any friends. Being with people you love reminds you just how important they are over materials and surface life. We can get too caught up in a routine and forget the real reason we keep going (love of our friends and family)! I love you guys! Thanks for always being there!


  What is your favorite thing to do with your friends? Do you keep in touch with you high school friends?

Kick'n it

Hey guys! So today I'm headed down to St. Simons to hangout with a ton of UGA fans getting ready for a huge game! I'm so excited to have a day off of school and to escape this rainy weather for some serious sunshine!

If I wasn't going to St. Simons I would be in the gym kickboxing. I do it every Thursday and need to find other times to squeeze it in. I really enjoy it. It makes working out fun and more interesting than 30 minutes on the treadmill. I also love it because I'm so small and usually called small fry, nugget, lil' monkey and any other name for short (fun sized) people. Kickboxing empowers me and makes me feel strong. I love it. It gets my anger out and allows me to feel bigger.

I got started kickboxing because a friend invited me. I met her on the first game day when our dates pretty much stuck us together. I asked her to go to diner with me, and she asked me to kickboxing. Now we are really good friends, and I love getting to catch up with her every Thursday!

I would encourage everyone to find a way to exercise that makes you feel good, is fun, and doesn't seem like exercising. In my class we learn punch sequences, work on our kicks, and still do abs and pushups. It's like all you need in one place at one time. It really is amazing and I feel amazing after it.

WARNING: Do NOT mess with me. I'm small but pack real punch! Here are some pictures I got Audrey to take. Yes, I look so ridiculous trying to look intense but I thought they were kind of fun.

Have an amazing weekend! Root for the DAWGS! Be thankful for everyone around you!
