“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
One of my favorite quotes is from Dr. Seuss: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." This post originally appeared on Anna's 1st blog, Annamotion. Confession: My heart attaches to people and things easily and deeply. I'm the person who feels like I've lost good friends when a television series ends! Remember when the very last The Lord of the Rings movie, The Return of the King, was in theaters? I think my parents even took me out of school early to go see it. The intense epicness calmed down in an ending scene and … [Read more...]
6 Life Lessons We Can Learn From Batman v Superman
My fiancé is a HUGE Batman fan, so we've been anxiously waiting for this movie for a long time! I finally got to see it with him last week (he had already seen it on opening night and another time before we were able to go together!). Woo! I believe we can learn so much from STORY, whether it be within a book, a movie, or witnessing a real life story unfold.

Valentine's Day is coming soon! How do you feel about that? Did your heart flutter in joy, sink in sadness, or burn with anger? It can be especially hard to be single on Valentine's Day and that's why I wanted to write this post. I want to preface this by saying that I do happen to have a valentine this year, but this is only the 2nd time in my 22 years of life to ever have a legit valentine (other than my daddy). So this is only my 2nd time ever not being single on Valentine's Day. But frankly, it never really bothered me much. I want to … [Read more...]

Why I Don’t Believe in New Year’s Resolutions
It's that time of year again, when resolutions are made to work off your Adipose (for non-Whovians, just read "fat"), to track and bag Prince Charming, to organize your tornado-destruction-zone office space, and to be able to reenact this scene of Scrooge McDuck.

Why I’m Not “Feeling 22”
Remember when you were 8 and 16 year olds were like your idols? They seemed so much older and cooler...But then when you reached 16, it wasn't quite as magical as you always dreamed it to be? You could probably say that for any age, right? For me, 22 seemed so old! They're the top dogs of college--the seniors! They have it all together. They know what career path they're taking, what they're doing after graduation, and some of them were already spouses or parents! That must mean they completely know what they're doing. Well here I am at … [Read more...]
