Feeling it...

I started my junior year of college at a four-year university earlier this fall and much has happened since then.

I'm currently taking four classes -- the most amount of classes I've ever had in one semester -- and I'm doing pretty well! I work part-time and yes, I still love my job.

The only downside to school is when I wake up late and  the traffic gets so bad, I miss class. In short, when I don't wake up early enough to get parking, it cuts into my class time. This has happened more than a few several occasions and I made a deal with myself to knock it off.

I turned 22 last Friday and celebrated with generous amounts of food and plenty of company. I received some wonderful gifts that reflect just how well my friends and loved ones truly know me.

A Clean Slate

Hi there!  I'm Keri. I always start one of these but for whatever reason, cannot follow through with them.  Blogs are always so fun in the beginning, but then later feel like a chore. The everlasting goal of creating one of these is so that I can find something to write about and look back on whenever I'd like. I decided to give this blog a theme so that it is something concrete and not just something floating around in space that will eventually disappear.  Like the title of this post says, I will be attending a four-year college come August of this year, studying Psychology with a focus in Child Autism. I have technically been a college student since 2012, but because I was at a junior college for four years, I haven't experienced the rigorous, brain-numbing, exciting chapter that is attending a four-year college. I'm more than excited to be a part of a great community and to surround myself with people who are committed and delighted to be at school.  Throu...

Costco Craziness

Disclaimer: My sister was sitting beside me as this happened If anyone's driven to Costco on a day before a big holiday, then you know how chaotic the parking lot can be.  Today, I was sitting in my car, idling, while waiting for a man to back out of his parking spot. I thought he was going to leave quickly, since he had just gotten into his car and started his car, but that was not the case. I started to notice the car to my right and realized I was better off taking the spot of the car to my right, so I began to back up and I gave myself and the car beside me, plenty of room. While the car to my right was leaving his spot, the car I was first waiting for decides he NOW has to back up, too! Along with another car to my left!I could have been annoyed, but instead I saw this as a great opportunity. I now had choices.  However, as I was still sitting waiting for what were now three cars to leave their spots, a car to my left was leaving their spot, and was not stopping...

Feeling it 2.0

It's Spring semester and I'm still a Junior. I sometimes ignore the fact that I have 1.5 years left until I get my bachelors. The nice thing about going to school is that you're constantly around those who are just like you, in school. When I go back to work and I'm surrounded by those who have their degrees and lots of free time, I feel the pressure to finish school quickly so I can get back to my job. I really like my job, but I can't allow it to be top priority yet. Not until I graduate. That doesn't mean I don't put in 110% when I'm at work, I definitely strive to do better than I did the day before but I always need that reminder of school being the number one-most-important-thing-ever. Once summer rolls around, I'm looking at 30-35 hour work weeks again and I love it and don't love it. It tends to stress me out to the point where I can't sleep because I'm thinking of work. It also relaxes me because this is my job, and I love my j...
