A Recap: December 2018

December was Ah-mazing!

Bye!
I finished my semester which included turning in a rendering of my group's idea for a dorm building, taking my finals which were relatively easy, and home I went!

Dior at the Denver Art Museum
Fashion has always been a love of mine and probably always will be, so when I heard two years ago a Christian Dior exhibit would be arriving I knew I had to go. I went with my parents and loved seeing the haute couture. I will definitely get into this more. I also had a great lunch down there too.

Poker
I did have a few friends over to play poker and catch up which was sweet. I enjoyed hearing the crazy stories they have and everything in between.

Sightings
Since many of my friends from high school were back in town for Christmas they could be found everywhere! I ran into a friend of mine at the mall and talked about a frat party for a little and then another we both smiled as big as we could and waved at each other at the grocery store.

The Trimmings of the Tree
Finding our family's Christmas tree was fun because we just kept driving until we found a closed place which then let us get one anyways. I also decorated my house for Christmas.

Christmas Eve Mass
Christmas Eve Mass at my high school was definitely one of my favorite parts of break! I got to see all of my friends again! Squishy hugs were given and smiles seen! I was so happy! The homily discussed West Wing and how if we're in a hole Jesus will be there with us knowing how to get out. It was very sweet. I continued socializing with my sisters and went home for the night. It was the best I've felt in a long time.

Christmas!
Christmas was very nice this year. I woke up before the sun shone and continued wrapping presents with my brother. We tore through our gifts which were surprisingly good. We had our German Apple Pancake and played with our gifts the rest of the day!

NYE!
My family and I went downtown for the fireworks this year, but were completely underwhelmed not by the fireworks, but of the crowd. There were so few people there and not many opportunities to people watch. The fireworks were wonderful, but I wish there was more.

December was filled many memories and lots of good people! I am so glad I am done with all of these now. Thank You for reading it if you did, I really just wanted to write it down to remember it and not really for blog material, but whatever. Thank You

God Bless!

20 Activities for 20 year Olds

Good Morning Family and Friends! Recently I have been incredibly bored, hopefully my online classes will entertain me more. I have previously stated that I wasn’t practicing social distancing or whatever, however my mom has been making me stay inside more often and now Colorado is on lockdown. I looked up activities for 20 year olds and didn’t find anything, I guess people make these lists for stay at home moms with young children. So, I decided to make my own list for you, the audience, if you’re bored (which if you’re reading this you probably are) and looking for something to do. Read Woah, how original...read. I don’t read for pleasure often. In the summer I read The Great Gatsby and I usually read one of Father Greg Boyle’s books some other time in the year. I also read my Vogue magazines. Two books and a magazine isn’t that much. However, since there is more time to do stuff, I figured I could read more. My brother gave me The Princess Bride to read, I’ve read a lit...

Major Life Advice

Recently during class I was giving an acquaintance/friend advice after being asked "How am I so happy?" and another acquaintance/friend wanted me to begin as she thought this was very important. Today I want to share part of a book (google doc) that I've been writing throughout the years that is full of advice I have received and found. Today is the Best Day of My Life This may sound crazy, but it's true, everyday is the best day of your life because you never know when life will end. I learned this from my dad who even thought it was crazy when he heard it from his friend. This advice has helped me look at the positive in every day things. For example in high school I didn't enjoy waking up around 4 am for swim practice, but when I dad told me this advice, I started thinking about it began enjoying early mornings. How lucky was I to do what I love, be awake before anyone else, talk to my friends, and laugh endlessly before the sun rose? So lucky and as ...

What I've Learned in College: End of Freshman Year Fun part 2

Continued from Part 1 8.Cowboys are Real Cowboys are typically seen as people who used to live in the Wild West years and years ago. I honestly think that my grandfather was one of the last American cowboys. While, I wills till continue to this this, I have learned that cowboys are still real! Every once in a while, I will see an old man sporting leather cowboy boots, a blue pair of Wrangler jeans, a button down shirt, a weathered, leather belt, a leather vest, a cowboy hat, a grown out beard, and skin weathered and tan like the leather. I didn’t think people still dressed like this besides for show! This is someone’s real life outfit! I am always astonished to see people like this because I don’t see them regularly. They look like their straight off a horse in ye old west! Students even wear cowboy boots daily! It’s something else. 9. People still pressure you. I don't drink for multiple reasons, and I was under the impression that people don't pressure people i...
