It may or may not be too early to be getting all nostalgic about college, but I have to say, I am definitely going to miss this. Staying up later than I should for no other reason than that I kind of just can. Finally putting up that picture frame in the room that I’ll only be living in for another four months, and rearranging for the sake of having something new to look at. It will never be...

Just to clarify—I wrote that last post at 3 in the morning. You know, that time when I encouraged everyone to just write down their thoughts and save them before acting on them the next day? Yeah, I published that post. That was real.
Have you ever come home really late at night,...
Well, it can wait. I have just returned from a downstairs discussion with a housemate of mine, and while I love and cherish her as a friend, she makes stupid mistakes at 3 in the morning when it comes to boys. She wants to say something that her drunkenness has given her the courage to say, and she wants to say it now, while she still has the gusto. But the truth is, if she really wants to say it,...

YOU GUYS MISSED ME SO MUCH THE PAST FEW DAYS, I...
I ran 16 miles yesterday! It was definitely more of a struggle than the 14 mile run last weekend, but it still felt incredible. I had another one of those PowerBar gels and that definitely helped with the last hour or so. I was pretty sure my legs were going to fall off today, but this whole experience has been amazingly empowering so far.
I should probably take this time to say that I’ve...

And it’s the perfect way to start your Friday. I promise.
“Do you want to play trucks?”
“I have a boyfriend.”
“So?”

I wish I could "like" my own posts.
The Lion King
Simba: Ow! Jeez, what was that for?
Rafiki: It doesn't matter. It's in the past.
Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.
Rafiki: Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it.

I’m praying it warms up a little bit for my first long run tomorrow. In other news, I wasted a perfectly good outfit tonight on a group of girls wearing sweatpants and hoodies. I suppose it maybe would count for something if they secretly wished they looked as nice as I did, but I doubt that was the case. Love my girlfriends though, I’ll love ‘em till I die.

Depression sets in.
I love you, Colt McCoy. You are a class act, and you are going to be one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL. I can’t wait to love you next season, Garrett Gilbert!
Good game to all of the University of Texas Longhorn Football players; you kept your heads up when Colt went down, and played yourselves a damn good game.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you, all the livelong...
National Championship Football Game is on tonight! I will be enjoying the game from the comfort of an on-campus bar, with some Texas Tea in my hand and friends nearby. Game starts at 7:00 (CT) but I’m thinking that I’ll be needing to get there a couple hours early to find a table anywhere. In light of tonight’s game, a song:
Texas fight, Texas fight, say “Goodbye!”...
I will be running a marathon on March 21, 2010
This is epic for many reasons.
I have never run that far before.
I have never run anywhere near that far before.
I realize I find myself much more motivated when I have a tangible goal to work towards, and finishing a marathon in less than three months is lofty, but I’m 21 years old and at my physical prime. I can do it.
Running a marathon is one of the more difficult-to-complete items...
The time? Oh, it's 5:35 AM.
And I’m at work. It’s almost like I’m in a daze, but I don’t feel all that tired. I even made spinach & cheese eggs before getting in the car and driving here this morning. Crazy. And is it Thursday already? Is there really only one more week before I have to go back up to PA?

I can’t find my old jersey, and even though I’ve never really been a jersey-wearin kind of sports girl, this jersey is the one I wore that night during my senior year of high school when The University of Texas won the National Championship with Vince Young at the helm. This jersey has magical powers, I’m sure of it. Anyway being that four years later I am again a senior, of...
