How I get through finals week

Once again, it's finals week. Time to study and stress about finals. Wrong. At least for me. I just realized something this last week, when it's finals time instead of stressing out about my finals, I find something else to stress about. Last year, I was convinced that I was going to move to Utah. I saw how much rent for apartments was out there and I was like, I'm in! I researched all the schools, how to transfer, jobs in the area, started filling out applications. I'd even found an apartment! And then, finals week went away and the planning slowed down a little bit. I eventually decided moving to Utah wasn't for me because I love my degree program at my school, and my scholarship program. So, I'm still here. I also compared phone plans between companies. That was fun. Not really it was depressing.

Last Spring I started getting really into emergency preparedness. I researched food dehydrators, ways to grow food in an apartment, made a list of all the things that I needed to buy to make Sammy a 72 hour kit and started stock piling Ramen. Once finals was over though, that stopped as well.

Now, my head is all over the place. I started with food storage again. I contacted a lady in the ward who sells it and she's going to bring me samples, I tried to find ways to freeze dry food yourself. Then I freaked out about my wedding, I didn't have bridesmaid dresses and had no idea how I was going to find one considering all of my bridesmaids are never in the same city at the same time. So, I started hunting the websites and found one that I'd been picturing in my head for a long time and was relieved. So now, I'm making all the flowers for my wedding. I've got one more day of finals, I wonder what I'm going to stress out about tonight.

I'm just glad I figured out what the heck is going on with me. I'm surprised I get anything done during finals weeks with all this research going on. If only I could use that for my research paper. . . .

    Good luck! Let me know if you need any help at all with the wedding. Doing things yourself is the BEST way to save money (and do it how you want it, too!) Bridesmaid dresses were the hardest part for me. I'll keep you in my prayers!

    I do the same thing haha. I'm great at researching things! But not for papers... Usually I look into new apartments and future jobs. That's what I stress about when I should be stressing about more productive things. :)

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
