IM OBSESSED WITH HARRY POTTER
here are some quotes from the most marvelous series in the whole wide world. enjoyyy

"It takes much bravery to stand up to our enemies but we need as much bravery to stand up to our friends." --Sorcerer's Stone

"You're the one who is weak. You will never know love or friendship. And I feel sorry for you." --Order of the Phoenix

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" --Deathly Hallows

"Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it." --Goblet of Fire

"We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving." --Deathly Hallows

"There is no good and evil; only power and those too weak to see it." --Sorcerer's Stone

"Time will not slow down when something unpleasant lies ahead." --Goblet of Fire

2 down, 3 to go

oh the stress of exam week, constant studying of books and flipping of flashcards. it seems like it will never end!! but keep breathing and drink a little starbucks... the week will soon come to an end... as unbelievable as it sounds!

today i tried the gingerbread latte at starbucks, pretty yummy if you really like gingerbread! this morning (yes, i went twice today) i got the peppermint white mocha... SO GOOD.. i recommend this to everyoneeeee :)

i also just discovered the glee christmas cd... ohmyyyy so amazing
im just really in the christmas spirit

so anyway, good luck on your next exams! studyyyy!!! merry christmasss yallllll

word for the wise.

never put eight, wet, mushy cookies in someone's basketball bag, unless you're asking for a death wish. enough said....

im backkk

sorry i haven't posted in a quite a while! i've been overwhelmed by exam reviews and last minute tests... the sign that christmas is almost hereeeee
these last couple of days everything has been stressing me out, even if it's completely irrational. examples:
1) couldn't find the nail polish i want at ulta (Little Brown Dress by Essie)
2) can't decide what to get my friends for christmas
3) assembly dress
4) basketball
5) couldn't find my caramel macchiato creamer this morning (led to a very unfortunate day without my coffee)
6) algebra a.k.a. my first "C" ever... holy shoot. i hate bad grades, "B"s make me grumpy so as you can imagine im a force to be reckon with right now...  p.s. if i made a 100 on today's test my grade becomes an 83 yayaya (which i should get since i stayed up til the butt crack of dawn studying last night)

all this to be said.. i'm a little on edge right now, and can't wait til christmas break!
as always, im drinking my cocoa with christmas tunes right at this very moment, so if you've had a stressful week. relax with some yummy chocolate and carols to get in the spirit. good luck on exams!!! goodnight and HAPPY HOLIDAYS

the final leg, push on!

so tonight as i continue with my christmas playlist, i begin to prepare for my mid-term exams... oh dear. the name just makes little butterflys flutter in my belly! tonight i went through and organized my notes, honestly im a little too scared to attempt to study the almost guaranteed deathly papers. at least as you study you can look forward to CHRISTMAS BREAK!! yay yay yay!!! that's my inspiration to do well, the better i do the more my parents let me do over the break! great motivation, right? just push through these last couple of weeks and bring all those borderline grades up to "A"s!! i know you can do it. so im off to do some late night homework and maybe grab some hot chocolate. possibly make exam notecards? we'll see...
i hope you dont have as stressful next couple weeks as i surely will!
sleep well, study hard!
hasta mañana bloggersssss <3

frosty the snowman!

get ready, folks... tomorrow is december 1st and im getting excited!! i've been listening to my christmas albums on shuffle for the majority of the night, i've picked out the gifts for my friends, and of course for me. i've already planned imaginary christmas parties and thought of new hot chocolate recipes.

am i little obsessed? maybe..
do i mind that? not at all.

so i hope everyone gets just as excited as me!!
GO CHRISTMAS!!! yayayaya

shop til you drop

i was online shopping and found some things i loveeeee. this adorable black sequin top, but not too flashy would be perfect for a night out with friends. I would wear it with jeans and my new MIA shoes:

another really cute top i found was this casual striped shirt with a little flair on the pocket. i really like how its relaxed and a little oversized but still stylish. i would probably wear this with some boots to give it a warmer winter look.

i also loveeee this sweater from anthropologie. its way too expensive for me, but for people out there who are willing to spend 128 for a sweater... go for it. for those of us who aren't i found a cheaper alternative. almost as cute but definitely worth the 48 dollars for it!! from urban outfitters, one of my fav stores for sure.

well im about to chow down on some biscuits for breakfast, finally in sweet home alabama (never thought i'd say that...) so keep online shopping and feel free to comment with links to other cool things you like! im always up for new ideas. au revoir!

oklahoma, oklahoma

for thanksgiving my fam jam decided to visit the g-rents in okie. my trip started off with a 16 hour drive... very unfortunate. while here we pretty much eat and watch sports... all day. relaxing? yes. boring? yes. i wrote a paper, did my biology exam review, painted my nails 3 different times, watched all the harry potters, and mastered the walking handstand. none the less, i had some fun great happy memorable! moments...

i woke up wednesday morning to my grandfather dangling raw bacon over me... if you know me, you know that i am the absolute opposite of a morning person (not really a night owl either...) greasy pig is definitely not the way to put me in a good mood.

later that day we watched The Terror of Tiny Town. suprisingly very amusing but kinda left me in a state of confusion (?) 

Including all of my odd experiences, I actually had kinda a fun time, so if you ever plan on visiting oklahoma just holla. i'll give you some great nail polishes, peculiar movies, and tricks for walking on your hands. so enjoy the rest of your holidays and roll tide!

be inspired

i was going to bed, but i discovered some quotes that were rather blog-worthy. 


"never frown. you never know who is falling in love with your smile"


"This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something." --Elizabeth Gilbert


"And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time."
— Lady Gaga


Inspire 
verb: to fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something


i love the feeling of being inspired. sometimes i get the urge to paint a picture (later remembering im wretched at art) sometimes i want to run a few miles, then i remember im just not a natural runner. but the outcome isn't what's important. the only thing that matters is how it makes you feel when you wanna do something you normally don't consider. people are inspired in all sorts of ways, so im beginning to make it a goal of mine to inspire people with everything i do. whether its good or bad, i just hope im making people think a little and be different. so go for it.
inspire, be inspired.
so now, good night. for real this time

first post...

well i have zero followers, but still... yayy! so excited to be blogging. to start off i'll say a little bit about me... im six feet tall and have very lanky legs, no need to tell me, im well informed. i loveeee starbucks, i have no idea what i would do without it:

• caramel brulee frappuccino or caramel latte (im OBSESSED with caramel)
• apple fritter (ask them to warm it for you)

i WILL go to georgetown. im obsessed with d.c. and i want to live there more than anything. im going to peru this summer!!! with captivated334 aka the most adorable bff you could have!! eat, pray, love by elizabeth gilbert inspired me to step out of my comfort zone and be inspired by the little things, i definitely suggest you read it. asap.
i've learned that God is the ultimate rock and savior. lean on him, always.

well im headed to bed now after a long day of family bonding and face stuffing.
happy thanksgiving and sweet dreams to all!
