Dog days are OVER.
You know how I did that post a while ago, about being stuck in a rut? Well it's gotten worse. Especially this week. I've done nothing but sit in bed, and cough and blow my nose. I know I've been majorly MIA in the blogging world lately. I just like don't really feel like doin much lately. Okay, it's not THAT bad but really; just listen.
I've never had to live in a LEGIT winter before, and not gonna lie, it's kinda depressing! Like at first it's fun. Snow, cute hats and scarfs, but after a little it gets so old! Especially getting sick so much easier (cause sometimes I forget I don't live in St. George anymore.. and just forget to even wear a coat) and how dark it is outside. Like blah! I love the snow on the mountains, seriously prettiest thing ever, but HATE the snow on my car. I love getting all bundled up all presh and such, then having to rip it all off the second you get into school cause its 500 degrees in there. I am so negative huh?!
Well the reason I'm doing this post is to tell you guys (mostly myself) how I'm gonna change it all and become a happy, winter or no winter, positive person!
Today I changed my room around. It hasn't changed since I moved in, and needed something different. I hardcore thought it all out in my head. Every possible way I could make it work and then threw it out there at Chan and Buck to see what they thought. They thought I was weird and so random. I made them get they're non-positive change promoting attitudes off the couch and away from law and order, and we moved my 4857439 pound bed. It looked hideous. I wasn't giving up. I moved some more stuff around.. well everything around. And WAH-LAH. Honestly, it's already such a good change. I'm sitting on my newly placed bed, looking at my newly placed desk and loving that my iHome is now sitting right next to me. I'm even more loving that it's playing Dog Days are Over by Florence + The Machine. It's so appropriate. Yay so much positivity is radiating through me right now!
Tomorrow I'm starting a new diet. I'm SO motivated to stick with it, cause some stuff has happened the past couple days that have majorly triggered motivation. Including me and C COVERING our mirror in motivational stuff. We attacked it with the dry erase markers. It's literally SO motivating. Having to stare at it every time you look in the mirror just like forces you to want to do what it says. Hahaha dead serious, try it!
It's time. As of today I am accepting change in every single possible way. I don't care how it comes at me, but I'm not gonna question it anymore. I spend too much time over-analyzing every single thing that happens to me. That's over. I'm letting go faster, experiencing new things and I know I'm gonna grow as a person even more.

I'm a little caterpillar and soon I'm gonna break through this stupid cocoon and fly away!
Okay, maybe not.. but I am gonna let things come as they may.

You should too?
Found this quote in my phone today, I put it in there forever ago, but it just struck me really hard.The minute you start enjoying yourself and the person you've become, when you walk into a room with your head held high, the minute you wake up and are GLAD to be you: the possibilities and opportunities will come knocking at your door.
It's so true. The best things in life happen when you least expect them to. We shouldn't worry about anything besides being happy and confident with the person we are. Once that happens, everything will just come naturally perfectly. I have too many amazing people in my life, I don't wanna bring them down anymore. I want to be the one helping bring them up.

Grrrr.
And semester two has started.
So I signed up for this Reporting for the Media class. I went the first day excited to learn about part of the career I hopefully will go into someday... The day turned around fast.
The teacher almost crushed my dreams. There was like 2 freshman in there, me being one of them. He told us how not fun journalism can be. He told us pretty much to NOT go into it. He told us the downfalls, the dirtiness and every negative thing possible. I left feeling useless. I left feeling like my future was just headed straight down the toilet. I left literally almost wanting to cry. Why would I ever even want to go into this lousy career?
So I did what any sad little 19 year-old would do.. I called my mommy.
Don't get me wrong. I usually always know what to do in these situations. I usually am never brought down by anybody else. I don't know what made me feel so small on this one cold, snowy day. But I wasn't myself. And I didn't know what to do.
She was right! Like duh. I'm glad he did point out the negatives of that career field, because I obviously need to know such things. But what he definitely didn't do was tell us anything positive about journalism.
Every career has its downfalls, but if you love it enough and truly want to do it, then the positive things outweigh the negative things immensely.
So maybe I'm too naive and immature to take that class right now. It is full of older kiddies. Maybe the teacher is just a douche and doesn't realize what he is doing and saying. I'll go with a little bit of both ;)
The point of this post is to just say that no matter how dumb someone can make you feel; if you know what you are doing is right for you, and it's what you really want to do-- Who cares? If we all want to reach our dreams some day we can't let anyone stop us.
I know I'm only a freshman and things can change like so much within the next couple years, but if my plans do change, it will be because I knew it was what I was supposed to do.
Don't settle for anything less than you deserve or want. Anything is possible with perseverance and some hard work.

P.s. I dropped that class like it was hot. At least for now.

I told her what he had said, and how I had felt. I told her how small he had made me feel.
Then my mom (and if you know her, this is so believable) said to me, "Lex, why would you let that idiot make you feel like that? After knowing this is what you want to do for so long, why would you let some stupid guy ruin that for you and make you feel incompetent?"

the count down begins.. or count up?
It's a new year. It's a fresh beginning. It's 365 days to live however you choose. I decided I'm going to do a how many days I can go without sugar or anything shizzy that I don't need in my body. Eating healthy makes you feel better and look better. It might suck at first, but I know in the long run it will be worth it. I've realized how hard it is to diet or eat super healthy while in college and living with my best friends. Like, duh, it's a party everyday and especially every night- when we're all here. Which is even worse. Night eating just goes straight to.. well, where you definitely don't want it to. Don't even get me started with living right behind Krispey Kreme. Holy fetch. That hot and ready light can burn... like literally, please someone go set it on fire ;)
So here's to my new little start.
So here's to my new little start.
No eating after 8 p.m.
No eating carbs for dinner (that way they don't just sit there all night).
Plus I figure if I really do want to stick to it, I have to blog about it. That way people know and I'll feel stupider (yes stupider) if I cheat.
I know I can do this, because I have before, but it's just so much harder living on your own, buying your own food. I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna be a happier, healthier me.
Day 1, in thaaaaa bag!
xoxo
