Winter Break

This is my third day on break and I managed to go Christmas shopping (kind of), spend more time with my mom than I would have in a whole year, and lose a lot of money by buying things that I'll probably never use. I've also been very lazy (if you can't tell), which isn't exactly the way I wanted to start this break. 

I am very fortunate to have such a long break but unfortunate that I'm the type of person that can waste away a whole 6 weeks and then regret it painfully. I don't want to waste this wonderful free time! I never get this much time to just read or write or actually do things I want to do. I've been working hard at finishing my last year of college. I became president of a group on campus that advises psychology students, and I've taken on quite a large course load for a senior. Not to mention I've been an intern and have a part-time job. I know, I know, other people do SO much more.. and I respect them and would never put myself through more than I'm doing now. The load I've taken on was abrupt and I basically didn't know what I was getting myself into. I went from having a lazy summer to doing a million things at once. Definitely a reality check. 

My job is a basic retail job that I should have gotten when I was 16, not 21.. but hey, I did say when I turned 21 I would do things I'd never done. I'm doing just that.. just different things than I thought I'd be doing. I thought I'd have enough Christmas money by now but I was wrong because I have terrible money management skills and part time jobs don't care about you making enough Christmas money because you screwed up. My fault, ugh. It's just sad that the people I wanted to feel special this season have to suffer because of my stupidity.

On a happier note, I get to see Disney's Frozen tomorrow with Ryan!!!! I'm so excited.. I've been waiting for this movie for like 6 months. I found out about it browsing IMDB and ran into it by accident. The only thing it had in the description was that it was based off of the story "The Snow Queen," so naturally I freaked out and that started a 6 month craze. It better be good, Disney...

After the hopefully wonderful and life changing movie, I will be going to Ryan's for Thanksgiving dinner with his dad. Yay food (: The day after, we're staying with my family and having a Thanksgiving here. Yay more food, I think.. And of course, after the dinner, we'll be putting up the Christmas tree. I already have things to put under it because I'm crazy. 

Oh, I just can't wait for Christmas. The season to be jolly is upon us and I'm so excited. Hopefully, my laziness will wear off and I'll want to do more fun things. A few things on my list include going to the city, going ice skating and getting my favorite Starbucks drink.
