A Year in Review
It's been a long year. It had it's ups and downs, but alas, it's just another year. Here's a collection of photos from some of the best times of 2013:
NYE Resolutions for 2014
Every year I think of a couple new years resolutions to tie me over for the year and most of the time the resolutions stay in tact for a good month before I completely forget about them.
So to with hold the tradition of making new years resolutions and forgetting about it, I'm gonna go ahead and list some resolutions for the year and hopefully I'll keep some in mind as this year develops.
Resolutions
1. Own it. As in, muster up some confidence and be proud of what I like. Ok, so maybe I am a little weird, and I am a little awkward and normal people would probably prefer talking about something other than the last regeneration of Doctor Who. But honestly, there's no need to feel ashamed of it. Lexi of 2014- Quit dampening your self esteem over something as stupid as a bad conversation.
2. Write more. Seriously.
3. Learn to cook entrees other than Top Ramen and eggs. Just because.
4. Think before you speak.
Especially in front of a cute boy. or a potential job employer.
5. Going off of that last resolution, I'm gonna go ahead and put work on my listening skills this year. I tend to zone out unintentionally when someone is speaking, so this year I'm gonna work on being more attentive and present in conversations. ( I guess this can relate all the way back to #1 resolution, since sometimes I'm terrible at keeping a conversation)
6. Don't make promises you can't keep. Simple enough.
OH and a bonus:
Broaden my vocabulary.
as in stop using "f*cking" as an intensifier. There are other words to emphasize your enthusiasm.
In fact, let's try and tone down the cursing this year.
Those are the only New Year Resolutions I can think of at the moment. I would say "stop using dance as an excuse for not going to the gym" but I'm kind of aiming for realistic resolutions.
Happy New Year!

Season's Greetings
It's been a while since I've posted anything on this. Funny how I was so determined to keep this updated every week, but alas, I'm terrible at keeping promises/commitments. Something I'm going to try and work on this upcoming year.
Significant events that happened since I've last posted:
Significant events that happened since I've last posted:
- My SKC co-workers are actually really awesome and I'm glad I was apart of such a fun camp. It was a long week each week, but overall I enjoyed it. I also learned how to make friendship bracelets so that was cool.
- Fall Quarter of UCI started out rough, but slowly got better.
- I joined the Whovians Club and Her Campus writing club (again) and it was probably one of the best decisions I made this quarter.
- I sort of like Linguistics and I absolutely hate Bio Sci- Life Sciences.
- I really love my Etude Family and still can't believe I'm apart of the ensemble.
- I'm staying an extra year of school (I'm not graduating on time because of the year I took off) and I'm still kind of training myself to accept that it's okay.
- Because I'm graduating in 2015 and not 2014, I am planning on picking up a minor in Literary Journalism. I realized that I really enjoy writing and I want to get better at writing. Hopefully that can turn into a major, if I work hard enough in my time at UCI. I'm also thinking about business/management as well...
- My ankle is slowly but surely recovering.
- oh and I'M 21 (and invincible)
Anyways, I'm home for the holidays! I drove home from Irvine for the first time by myself. That was kind of a big accomplishment for me since I absolutely loathe driving, so I was really happy about that.
I'll have more to write about when I'm not marathon watching Grey's Anatomy. In the mean time, Enjoy the Her Campus articles I wrote this quarter:
Happy Holidays!
