Happy Holidays!

Hello everyone!

The amount of snow here is getting ridiculous. I can't keep up with the cold :( The roads are icy and it just makes me want to stay home and curl up into a ball and cuddle. Which is exactly what I'll be doing.

Unfortunately, I went home for the holidays and my boyfriend is now about 300 miles away so I'm forced to cuddle with a gigantic stuffed dog (don't judge me).

My new cuddle buddy.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is that I get to spend time with my family and that there's a momentary pause from my hectic life. I'm trying to ignore the fact that in three weeks I'll have to go back to reality.

But for now, I shall sip on my cocoa catch up on my shows and just breathe.

Until next time <3

Hello.

It's been nearly a year since I last posted. It's crazy to think about what has happened and changed just within 12 months. I have my last finals for the semester tomorrow and all I can say is a really disappointed myself. I should have done better some of my classes and shouldn't have slacked off. I say this as I take a break from studying =/

But, a lot of wonderful things have happened. I have some of the most amazing people in my life and it has made me so thankful to be where I am.

Anyways, I just wanted to post to let everyone know I'm alive and that I will try to post more regularly once these finals are over.

With Love <3

Also I'm so happy that I get to wear scarves all the time now!

Valentine's Resolutions

I don't make New Year resolutions because I always fail at them. So in honor of a holiday that reminds me of all my failed relationships, I decided to make resolutions that I will most certainly fail at too. Okay, that was really sad and I'm kidding, I just have goals for this month and didn't really know what to title the blog and how to start off.

Anyways, here are my goals for this month!

Learn how to do my hair like this 

 

Get all my work done

 

Find an apartment for next year

 

Find a summer job

 

Steal this adorable kid

 

Get a cute boyfriend

Okay, so I don't plan on actually stealing anyone's kids and the likelihood of the last goal happening isn't very high. But, anyways those are my goals for the month :)

I take no credit for owning any of the photos that were used

China!

So over Christmas break, I went back to Shanghai to visit my family! It was amazing, after living there for six years it really feels like I was coming home. Here are some pictures :)

Finals Week

Last week of the semester!  I can't believe that my first semester of college is already almost over. Time really does fly by. It's 1:40am and I'm sitting in the multicultural center studying math, or at least I was. It's moments like these where I feel like I'm being a good student, until I realize I'm on twitter and my blog, haha. Okay, so maybe I just feel more productive then usual.

Snow

Today's the first real snowfall of winter. Sure we've had sprinkles of semi-frozen rain here and there, but today, it's snow. I woke up to a sea of white, three hours later, it doesn't seem to be stopping. I kind of just want to curl up into a ball and drink coco all day, boo to going to work. Regardless, I'm making that my plans for tomorrow, with a little bit of shopping for weather appropriate clothing. We've been playing Christmas music for the last three weeks at work, so when I look outside a montage of carols come bursting into my head. I haven't quite decided if I'm excited or dreading this winter.

I couldn't think of a title for this blog, but since I wanted to post about the little things that can make a person's day, I guess a smiley face is appropriate. It's been one of those days where I've been appreciating the little things.  Such as...

 

Christmas decorations

 

Random texts to friends

 

Starbucks :) 

 

Staying warm 

 

Looking at apartments 

 What are things that you're appreciating today?
