Motivation

Lately, I have been having trouble staying motivated. 

Trying to get myself to do homework is painful, and getting up and going to class is TORTURE. haha. I think I'm getting kind of burnt out on school, I'm just so ready to be done! I've also been pretty exhausted from starting a new job, so I'd rather be spending my free time resting instead of doing homework. 

I also really want to get better at saving money. It's SO HARD to save money when I live in a bigger city that has sooooo many good places to eat! It's just so much more convenient to go out to eat, but I know I need to stop doing it so often. Speaking of eathing, another thing I've wanted to improve on is my health. I've definitely put on a few pounds in the last year (I even had to buy new pants!) and I want to get fit. I don't care about losing weight or anything, I'd just like to get in shape! 

So, if anyone has any tips on motivation for school, saving money, and getting healthier, I would really appreciate it! 

P.S.-Little update: I now have ombré hair! I wanted to change up my hair and have been loving the ombré look, so I decided to give it a try. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out!

Changes

Hello, imaginary blog readers! It's been awhile.

I've always wanted to be a faithful blogger, but to be honest, it's a lot of work keeping up with a blog. Like whenever I decide to finally post on this blog again, I usually get distracted with changing the look of the blog and I end up not even posting anything! Besides being held back by the work that goes into keeping up with a blog, I'm kind of boring. Most of my days consist of me going to school and then coming home and curling up in my room like a hermit, so I don't really have much to blog about! I guess that's why I usually only blog on here a couple times a year, that way it's been a few months so there's more to talk about! haha

Speaking of having things to talk about, I actually have quite a few updates!

Update #1: Clinton
For about 6 months now, I have been in a long distance relationship with my favorite guy. Clinton and I met on tumblr because of our mutual love for the show Community. Over the course of about a year, we got to know each other and developed feelings for one another. In March we finally got to meet when I went to visit him in Pennsylvania (my first time flying!) and we decided to make things official. He's a cool dude, I love him!

Update 2: Senior Year

I've started (what should be) my senior year of college! I'm in the final stretch! It's exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I'm so ready to finally have my degree and be done, I'm kinda tired of going to school! I do enjoy going to Southeast a lot more than I thought I would though. The campus is beautiful, all of the teachers I've had have been nice, and the Psychology building is named Scully, which I've geeked out about since I started watching the x-files!

Update 3: Moving

Last year I was able to work at the bank and commute to SEMO twice a week. But since I am now so close to being finished with school, I couldn't really get a schedule this semester that would work with me commuting. I have class every day this semester, so I would have had to drive back and forth from Portageville to Cape EVERY DAY. I pretty much HAD to move to Cape if I wanted to finish with school. It worked out pretty well, because two of my best friends from high school had a couple of openings in their apartment, so I now live in Cape with them! We each have our own bedroom and bathroom, and we share the kitchen and living room. I have gotten a bit homesick (I miss my parents, we've always been really close!), but so far I enjoy living in cape. Decorating my room and bathroom has been fun, and there's more to do in Cape than in Portageville! I don't really have any good pictures of my new room to post yet, but I will probably try and post some soon!

Update 4: New Job!!!!

This is the most recent and exciting update. I hadn't had as much luck as I thought I would with finding a job in Cape, and I was starting to get worried. I have rent to pay now! But I am very happy to say that I finally found a job that I think will be a really good fit for me. Monday is my first day as a Part-time Customer Service Representative at Elite Travel! I'm so excited to learn and grow there and be a part of their team. Also, they have a "Watch Cat" and "Watch Dog" at the office!!! SO CUTE. 

I think I'm going to feel right at home there :)

That's it with the updates for now! Hopefully I'll blog again before the year is over, but who knows ;)

XO,

Elizabeth
