Thursday Love

Today is Thursday, and I'm waiting on my laundry to dry so that means I'm going to do a Things I Love Thursday to kill time. So here we go...

Moving back to school and having a great roommate.
Watching hours of TLC and talking about how sad some of the people are (pageant moms)/
Getting bonus points in science simply for showing up despite the whole maybe 2 inches of snow we got.
Controlling our own heat in our room and agreeing to keep it cranked up all the time.
Accomplishing everything on my to do list.
My Kindle!
Meeting lots of new people in classes.
Being ahead of the game on homework.
Awaiting the arrival of my first package in the mail because my mom knows how much I love love love getting mail.
My favoritest person in the world, my dear Benjamin.
Beating the huge lunch rush on campus.
SEMO getting a Papa Johns at the UC (even though they were closed yesterday due to running out of food...)
Having awesome teachers who relate the material to real life and make classes fun.
My building has WiFi internet so I'm not stuck to my ethernet cable.
Finding out some of my old friends are in a couple of my classes. :-)
Learning news that used to would make me go into a bad depression for a week and not caring a single bit (being 100% over the boy and his new girlfriend who screwed me over big time).
Knowing I have managed to snag the greatest guy in the world who I probably don't deserve.
Vending machines right downstairs for my caffeine and junk food needs.
Hearing a song and totally relating to it.
Amazing best friend hugs that involve me being off the ground.
Seeing friends for the first time in 8 months.
The insane amount of optimism I have for the coming semester. It's going to be AMAZING!!!!!

I hope you have lots of things to love this week too.
Love,
Brittany

2011... Bring it On

2010 proved to be a tough year for me. Sure, I had some good times, but I had some really hard ones too. When I look back on the year, I see a lot of problems, a lot of yelling, and a lot of tears. That's why I'm determined to make 2011 my best year yet. There are so many thing I want to do, and if I post them for you all to see, I feel like it will be motivation because I can be held accountable for them. Here we go...

Pull off a 4.0 GPA the entire year.
Meet 100 new people.
Keep better track of my money.
Join at least 3 organizations.
Learn something every day.
Change the life of at least one person.
Read at least 30 books.
Drink at least a full bottle of water every day.
Do something every week simply to make myself happy.
Make people smile every day.
Be an inspiration to people.
Be my own ideal person.
Stop stressing over things so much.
Take tons of pictures.
Color an entire coloring book.
Stop being so shy with people.
Learn more about who I am.

That's all I've got. I'm going to print out this list and put it somewhere where I see it every day. At the end of the year, I hope I can have everything checked off the list. Wish me luck!
