You really CANT have it all

I am very thankful for all the blessings I have in my life. My AMAZING friends which i could list forever, but I do have some favorites : Elizabeth, Kristina, Nicole V., Romo, Schinria, Priscilla... and on and on, and I have the best boyfriend in the world, even if he is far away. I love my job, I'm finishing a college degree, my family might be a little dis-functional but it is a pretty good family, we love each other, I have great parents, and once again the list continues. But I guess to be able to have all these amazing things I need to balance my karma with one horrible thing in my life. And this thing is horrible. They make me miserable almost every day. The worst part is, I think they believe they are the victim, or at least that is what I think they are telling people.

I know what I HAVE to do, but I don't know if it would really make anything better. If I confront the problem, I think it might just get worse, and how do you tell someone how much of a horrible person they are and that they ruin your "life." I just got to try to stay positive for now. Wish me luck.

day 17 - a picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently

I cant say that there has been something that has recently made a huge impact on my life, except life itself or I guess you could say time. 

Oddly enough, this morning was daylight savings, but anyways time has kinda changed things lately. The amount of time I have that I waste has increased, time has brought me to a new living situation, time has given me new responsibilities in the work place, time has changed relationships with people, some for the better, some not so much, time has affected my lack of extra-curricular activities, and now time is continuing to speed past and change my life more by ending my college career. In less than 44 days I will have completed my bachelors degree and will be done with school.

  Although time has changed so many things recently I feel like I am stuck in the middle where I am finishing up and ending some very exciting pieces of my life, but am not starting the next chapter yet. College is coming to an end, but nothing new will be taking place for a while, so I am stuck in limbo waiting for the next thing. Its been really hard coming to grips that my college life is ending, that things are going to be changing. I am excited for a lot of the changes, but also afraid. How long will I be in limbo until my next chapter begins? Will it take off like I want it to? Will I find new interests and activities to get involved in? What the heck am I going to do with my time once classes are done? I hope it doesn't take me too long to figure out these questions, but first I have to finish off this semester and that means getting back to this research paper on the affects of increased tropical storms on the distribution of sea turtle nesting sites that I am writing. 

My DIY Eco Sun Lamp

I have been stumbling onto a lot of craft websites lately and found one that showed how to make a solar lamp and I knew I had to make one for myself! This is the website I used (http://www.instructables.com/id/Home-made-Sun-Jar/)and below is how I decided to do it along with my final product!!

First I got a small solar garden light at Walmart for only $2!!! It was the kind that didn't require batteries so I was stoked about that.

Then the top part (the piece with the light and solar panel) just popped right off. 

Then I found a jar for only $3.85 that had a lid just about the right size for my solar panel piece. I used a little of the blue sticky stuff (Blu Tack) and stuck it around the solar panel piece.

I then made it fit snugly inside the lid of the jar. 

Then with tissue paper (instead of the more expensive tracing paper or frosting spray), I made my own little design and taped it on the the jar. 

Then I turned of the light and Ta-Da!! My own little jar of sun!! <3 

Day 16- Its summer!!

Day 16- A picture of someone who inspires you.



Anyone who does there part to help others and help our planet inspires me. I want to do more to help out people and take care of our environment.


So...its summer time. The weather in Reno is finally acting like it should! Summer is off to a great start! I have been working a lot and making money, I just rented a new house that Ill move into next month, and I got a gym membership which I started using today! So far the best part of summer has been the time I had with Justin. He came to Reno for two weeks. We had a great time and went on a mini vacation! Today I went back to work and made a list of goals for the summer.. here are some of them:

1) Read at least 3 books
2)Make a blog post once a week
3) Work out every day
4) Reread the Deathly Hallows
5) Donate clothes and shoes you never wear
6) Save lots of money

That's just a few.. I might add more later.  Well I am going to get back to watching Scrubs.

Day 15 - PS I graduated college this weekend.

day 15: A picture of something you want to do before you die

I want to travel the world. I want to see everything and go everywhere. I want to experience the culture, eat the food, and learn the history. Just today I was looking up different ways I can travel by either going on and vollenteer trip or taking an international internship. Teaching English in anouther country appeals to me a little, I just do not want to be too far away for too long of time. I think a few months is cool, but I dont know if I could move away for over a year and be with out Justin and my family. We will see. Here are some of the top places i MUST see before I die. 

1) Machu Picchu

2. Rome

3. Greece

I cant wait. I know I will go to these places someday. I also want to dive off the coast of Australia in the great barrier reef, and I want to go to France, England, Ireland, Egypt, South Africa, and more places in South America. I cant wait to see the world. :)

Lets pretend it's Day 14...

Because life got busy and I fell behind. I should have more time now though since I am finishing up the spring semester this week, only two finals left, and my position in Ambassadors is now ended, so I am retired and have lots of time to blog. So here is day 14....a picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

My Jezzy Jo!! Justin is the love of my life and came into my life right at the perfect time. He has been a huge factor in changing my life for the better by always believing in me and he makes me want to be the best person I can be. I cant imagine what other path I might have continued on if Justin didn't come into my life and make my world a better place. I love him with all my heart. 

I dont know what day it is...

Day 10- A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with


I dont have a picture! I dont have a person. I am recently not on the best terms with a friend, but I would not say either of us ***** up what ever that is suppose to mean, and I know things will work out. 




Day 11- A picture of something you hate. 


Currently my Professor, not really, but he was really mean to me in commenting on mine and my parter's paper :( 


After my Prof, I thought of mean people. I HATE when people are mean! I hate when I am mean. It is horrible and i wish we could all just appreciate each other and be nice. I think we should not hurt each other and we should defiantly not hurt animals. I HATE animal abuse, all animals, and even people. I dont understand how anyone could hurt a puppy or a child. It makes me cry. I hate it. 

Day 12- A picture of something you love.

Day 13- a picture of your favorite band or artist


I would consider Shia LaBeouf an artist, because acting can be an art...

but I think this question might mean musical artist so.... HELLOGOODBYE

What will I do with my life.

I hate science. It took me four years of college to figure it out. So i took a career test and now its time to pick a new path...

Day 9

Day 9- A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

Although he has not been near often, he has been there for me for a long time and has gotten me through so much...from learning to sleep in my own bed to sharing a bed with a guy, he was there for my first job, one of my worst childhood memories, he helped me deal with fights with my parents, friends, and ex-boyfriends, and helped handle my crazy sister by peeing in her room. He is my best friend and we have been through everything together... Plus he is a great listener. ;)

Catch up 4- 8

Day 4- A Picture of your night...

On night four I was in Los Angeles with Justin and Dennys so that is why i was unable to post, but tonight I am just watching scrubs. 

Day 5- A picture of your favorite memory. 

Every moment I have ever had with this guy. I know I have had a lot of great memories, but when trying to think of just one I just think of ones with him; our first kiss, helping him move into his apartment and being with him on his first day of med school, staying with him during his graduation and the first time we said I love you. He brightens up my life and my favorite moments are the ones he is in. 

Day 6 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

Hermione Granger. (if fictional counts). It would be amazing to be a witch and be really smart, If it had to be a real person... a dolphin trainer at sea world. ;)

Day 7- A picture of your most treasured item

I do love my Shia wall ;P.. especially my personalized autographed picture!! 

Day 8- A picture that makes you laugh

What I found when I tried to get into bed one night... these two hogging it.
