Day 44

'Tis the season to be crafty and make Christmas ornaments. I scored Pinterest to find a cute little ornament that was inexpensive and I found an adorable one. It's called an onion ornament and you'll understand why when you see what it looks like. It's extremely easy to make. I'm planning on making more and hanging them in front of my windows. Also, here's the great tutorial that I followed. Happy crafting!

Simple and cute! (Side angle)

Day 42

Hot cocoa is probably one of my favorite beverages. So, tonight I curled up in bed with a hot cup of cocoa and watched Sex and the City. It was the perfect end to a long day. :)

Day 41

Hi all! I ended up not blogging after I skyped last night because I was exhausted and feel asleep almost immediately after ending the call. I ending up skyping with one of my dearest friends, Emma. We talked about what we're planning on doing when I visit for New Year's Eve - I'm so excited!! - and what's been going on in our lives. It was so great to skype with her. Emma is the kind of person who knows what say when you're having a rough time and knows exactly how to make me laugh. Do you have a friend like that? :)

To You . . .

Day 40

Hello! Today's link is a little difficult to read, but it says "Do the Hoedown Throwdown." I know that's totally high school, but it's still a lot of fun to do. I thought I'd still be at school, so I was excited to do this with Jen, but I'm home and had to do it by myself. Let me just say that it wasn't as fun because no one was there to laugh with me and make fun of ourselves. Oh well. I had to run through the combination several times and found a great tutorial by Miley Cyrus herself a couple of months ago. Enjoy!

Day 39

 

Today was my only day of finals, meaning I was able to start my Christmas break early; the task for today was the perfect sending off for me too. I took a picture with one of my closest friends, Jackie. Our friendship started only a few weeks ago and it grows stronger and stronger everyday. We had a class together last year and would talk every once in awhile. The funny thing: we both had a huuuge friend crush on each other. I thought she was hilarious and wanted to be her friend, but didn't know how to make that happen; it was the same way with her towards me.

Our friendship was unexpected this year. We would see each other around campus and say hi with some small talk, but nothing major. Then, she invited me to see Breaking Dawn with her, her roommate and another friend - I said yes, of course! That night we found out that we had a lot in common and we became friends. A few weeks later, I was in the lobby studying with Cassi late at night and Jackie came in. She sat down and decided to study with us. BAM. We clicked. I'd like to say that we studied most of the time, but that would be unrealistic. The truth: We talked about everything and I loved every minute of it. After that, we started studying together and actually got a lot done! About two weeks ago we averaged three hours of sleep a night because we would be up until 5 or so studying and bonding. Honestly, I'm glad that happened because an incredible friendship came from it.

Jackie and I have talked a lot about our friendship and it's strange. We're both outgoing people who could talk for hours and we love to have fun - those are only two of the many similarities. The thing that we both love the most is that our friendship has been incredibly natural. We click together in a way that I, personally, haven't clicked with another friend. Granted, a have several other good friends and there's something special with all of them. Jackie is the kind of person who is incredibly caring, will always make you laugh and is there for you no matter what. Everyone deserves a friend like her. My only hope is that you're able to find friends in your life who will stand by your side no matter what. Now that I've practically written a novel, here's a lovely picture of us:

Friendsies! 

Day 38

I'm not one for wearing mix-matched socks and I never have been. It's just never really been appealing to me, but Jen and Cassi insisted that, for one day, I wear mix-matched socks. So, today is that day. Do you wear matching or mix-matched socks?

P.S. For those of you who are devoting today to studying for finals - like me - good luck! :)
