no no bad vegan

So before I realized it today, I was downing my typical coffee - 1 sugar twin 1 milk...ah crap! Totally messed up the veganism...wait, did I really? Yes, I drank something with milk in it - but the idea isn't to beat myself up over 2 tbsp of milk - it's to be happy and healthy...which I am.

So next time, I'll remember to go milkless but this time, I'm not worrying about it. I ate a TON of veggies today and fruit and am learning that grapefruit isn't that bad...it's not bacon mind you...but it's not absolutely disgusting either.

In the past, I've had a tendency to obsess over my weight and what I'm not...I'm not super-skinny, or tall blonde or perfect...but I don't care anymore. I've let other people's standards of pretty define me for way too long...I'm adorable!

So as I go out for my nightly run I'll be posting my picture - no makeup, no nice hair, no cute shirt...just me. And you know what...I like me...I don't like hats though.

sorry guys!

So university is in full swing and I won't be posting as much because I've decided to go back into being vegan and jogging...I realized that although I still doing look mid-20's, someday I will get "old" and I'd like to continue being healthy and not have to slow down as much...

For the record though, Grapefruit for breakfast isn't half as good as bacon and eggs!

That quote that makes you smile

One of my professors said yesterday that if you think of things that made you happy, you will be happier. While I believe the weather has been leaving me dreary (and in NO mood to write), I think it was very good advice.

This afternoon, I was reading a book - one of those stupid, cheesy teen books about prep school (from the creator of "Gossip Girl" - you get the idea). There was a quote though that just made me smile because it's how I want my life to be:

"Go not where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"

How amazing is it to believe that my life, my goals and ambitions, hope and dreams, are only just beginning? Everything that I have done so far is just a start...and really, there is no climax. My life is only getting better...and I'm perfectly happy.

So, after an hour long run in the sun, coffee with a new friend, and a purchase of 'Jelly Belly' shower gel only because it smells heavenly, I can honestly say I'm definitely on the path I'm supposed to be.

Robert Frost may have only walked down one path and felt as though he missed out on the other - I decided to skip the path today and walk amidst the trees.

Bloody annoying

You know what bothers me - people who assume that because I have a job at the moment, I'm a spoiled only child who doesn't need to work throughout her entire degree.  I have worked, I work in the summers and I get scholarships because I'm smart.  I'd like to think a 3.5 GPA is pretty good.

I do work - I LIKE working - but I also believe I need a GPA boost to get a little bit higher marks.

URGH!

Happy Day

 

 

Hey guys, have you ever just had one of those days where you're just happy?  I woke up late which I thought was terrible, but then I realized it was cold out, I needed the sleep and really, I like sleeping in.  Anyways, I'm going to try going for a short walk in a few (I know, those midnight trips are terrible and unsafe and blah blah blah) but I've been so antsy lately, I'd rather push my ankle and know I'm close to res...might just go around campus. 

I met someone new who I'm having coffee with on Thursday - I'm sure you guys will hear ALL about it.  To reiterate the Samantha Rules of Blogging:

1) No real names

2) I do lie at times - accept it.  If you know me, you can ask me in person.

3) I won't tell other people's secrets

4) I will talk about Ludwig as though she is human.  

5) It's my blog therefore, I am always right just because I'm 100% awesome and you're reading this because you love me!

So keep on enjoying folks! I'm going to get to homework! first A- on an English Journal! :D
