A whole new light...it's called the sun!

On a semi-important note, I woke up today around 8am. I don't think I have done that in...oh...say over 6 months? (I counted 8 months). There are two reasons why this is kind of a big deal:

  1. I went to bed around 4am, and I am somehow not wishing I was back in bed yet. For someone who sleeps 10+ hours on a typical night, this is a dramatic change, and seemingly impossible task.
  2. I have been telling myself for a while now that I wanted to get up earlier...to be more productive with my time, and not waste it all away by sleeping until 2 in the afternoon. And though every night before I rev myself up with motivation and make my list of goals; the next morning I always wake up, shut off my alarm, realize that I literally dont HAVE to do anything until 4pm, and go back to sleeping forever.

It's pretty safe to say that I am not a good self-motivator. A terribly weak quality that I'm not to proud to say has not gotten better over the years. And along with that I don't have a very good idea as to how one should improve on that idea. I guess one way to do it is to purposely set things to be at earlier times in the day. (Classes, appointments, work, ect.)  Today I made an appointment with my counselor at 9:15...IN THE MORNING!! I admit I thought it was a bit crazy for me to even think about getting out of bed before 11...but here I was, waking up at 8, hating myself for it, but still going through with making it on time. And now it's almost noon, and I haven't gone back to bed!

I think I deserve a little pat on the back :)

Tired from being tired..

I seem to wear myself out all the time...but it happens because I don't do anything. Ever. Wanna see how my day usually goes?

  1. Wake up around noon.
  2. Take doggy outside.
  3. Eat cereal, watch episode of House. (it is now 2pmish)
  4. Sit and watch movie, or something.
  5. Shower. (Now 330pmish)
  6. If work, go to work till 930. If not work, see if someone wants to hang out. (5pm)
  7. If friend hangs out, they want to drink. or smoke. or something else that gets old when you do it every weekend.
  8. Get home. (10pm-12amish)
  9. Stay up until 3-4am for no reason.
  10. Sleep.
You  should also throw in some random eating fests in there, taking into account that they are in large undesirable portions.

I get motivated every day to change my life, around the time I go to bed...just thinking about how I wasted my day away irritates me. And (as the broken record says) I am sick of the life style I chose to partake in as of late.

It's not so much the idea that I don't enjoy the stuff I do in my abundant amount of free time I have....but its all to a more excessive amount than I would like for it to be.

.... I think I've lost where I was going with this, because of how dull my mind it right now. -_-

So, here is a list of things I would have liked to do today//in my life as of late:

Go to Barnes and Noble
Run on my treadmill
Do crunches
Read my book for bookclub
Unpack apartment
See different friends
Drink coffee
Hang out with bestfriend (cept I changed my mind half way through the day about that)
Have meaningful conversations with meaningful people
Be with meaningful people
Be enrolled in classes

Oh ranting post. :P

Oops...again...lawl

So...as pointed out by T.C. in his recent post...I had made a goal for myself to write a post everyday...even if it was insignificant and didn't mean anything...

OH LOOK AT HOW I DIDN'T DO THAT AT ALL!

I mean...come on self! The last time I apparently posted a blog post was all the way back in September. That's pretty pathetic, if I do say so myself.

I will become inspired from the person I inspired!

 Can we all just agree that something inside of me has snapped?





I really like this stuff, and would love to own every single piece and wear it and display it if I could.

Here's why I'm posting this....
If you know me, you're more than likely going 'Uh...that's not Bethany!!" To be honest, if I ever walked in like this, and you said that to my face, I would be quite hurt to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I'm not displeased with the clothing I currently wear, but I do enjoy feeling prettyful and fancy-like every now and then...and why should I limit my 'style' (cause i has one...question mark?) to only my jeans and black sweaters? And why does wearing a skirt or flowers mean I can't still be me? 

This same idea ties into my personality too...yes, I am a sarcastic, hilarious, pessimistic, firecracking mouthed, stubborn woman. And know what? I like that about me :) but you know what I also like? I also like being a sweetheart, caring, thoughtful, giggly, loving woman too. It's always seemed like we have to pick only one end of a spectrum, to make it easier for others to pin us, to learn how to react to us. But again...why can' I be both?

After all, I like a challenge ;)

I am entirely aware that this is a complete waste of a blog post

So....I went shopping! I shouldn't have, cause as you read in my last post I was trying to be smarter with my money and stuff :P BUT! In my defense, I bought things I actually like, and things I will actually wear. So, to waste a blog post and some battery life from my camera, allow me to present to you what I now own:

These are tank tops. Wanna know why they are special? 1. They don't have the stupid built in bra things. 2. Some are colors besides black :D

 This is a skirt. Before I owned 1 skirt. Now I have 2. That's more you know!

So I tend to be verrry picky when it comes to necklaces I will wear...and I am happy to say that I now have another that I can stand :)

I own flats now! I'm such a girl. right....right?

A shirt I found at Platos Closet...it's a little tight, but I will fit in it soon ;)

Before this moment, I did not own any black heels. Now I do. 8$, I win.

And that title is even more to myself than to anyone who reads this :P Life since I last posted has been hectic to say the very least...but I THINK I've got things under a little bit of control now :P

Soo...what is there to say...I turned 21 last Tuesday. Everyone kept asking if I felt any different...the answer is no, haha. The 'feeling different' part would have to go hand in hand with just the coincidence of time itself..not because 21 magically pushed a button in my brain. The legal weekend was amazing :) it really opened my eyes to how many caring friends I have! A special shout out to Allison though: You were by far wonderful in all aspects this weekend :)) I couldn't have asked for a better host! I owe you BIG time.

I have stopped going to Rasmussen college, and honestly it's most likely one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I don't know why, but part of me was super convinced that I HAD to be in a college of some form, otherwise the world would end as I knew it :P but the truth is, I didn't even want to go there, they didn't have anything that I was interested in pursuing major-wise. So my plan is this: appeal for spring semester at SCSU. Get into community psych. And succeed. :)

I've been trying to work very hard on thinking things through when it comes to my decision making, and it's nice to say for myself that I have made some progress :) I've made a lot of progress in many aspects of my life...and it feels really good! I just need to keep up on my efforts :D
