Slacker 101

Who is the biggest slacker in the world with posting? Yes, that would be me. But in my defense I have been busy... sorta...

But back to the point. Since I have been back from my glorious self-extended Thanksgiving hiatus, I have been very lax about my schoolwork. And by lax I mean that I haven't really done anything. I wasn't feeling well all week, hardly got any sleep, and didn't show up to many classes. But it was a vicious circle because the more I didn't sleep, the more stressed I became, and the more stressed I became, the less sleep I got. You get the picture. But this week I am determined to get all my work done and study for finals and such. Which is why I am posting on my blog instead of doing work. Of course I needed a distraction. My brain can only take so much!

Over the past few weeks I have learned a little more about how to use Twitter because I was baffled by the whole process, I signed up for Tumblr ( although I have yet to follow people and figure out how to use it), I have renewed my love of Pinterest and Stumbling (every girl needs a great time waster), and I spent some much needed time with my best friend. She has an awesome blog to follow. www.byuconfessionsbabe.blogspot.com.

I wanted to remind myself and others that I really wanted to make this blog and so I will stick with it... in the New Year once finals and the holidays are over. Before you express your outrage, I need to defend myself and say the month of December is a stressful one because so much is happening.

I thought I would spell out a few of the resolutions I am going to make so I have some way to be held accountable.

  • Start a blog or vlog with my best friend. We are hilarious and we think the world should know it.
  • Exercise daily. as Nike says "Just do it" and I will do it slightly resentfully :)
  • Actually get dressed for school everyday. It's harder than it sounds when your alarm goes off in the morning.
  • Get into my major. Sounds simple but thus far it has been a challenge. And I'm tired of being a junior without a major. 
  • Go to all my classes. Even the ones on Friday.... And actually pay attention!
That's about all I can come up with in my limited break time from studying. I miss my electronic journal. I will write in it more. Promise!!!

The start of an Era...

Why, hello friends! My name is Alena and I am very excited to broadcast my experiences for you read and be involved in. I am currently a student at BYU and refuse to dress seasonally appropriate. Dark chocolate is my favorite food group. I have an extensive closet that I love to use but am always looking for more pieces to fill it. I love my friends and family to a fault and I desperately miss the perfect California weather.

My thoughts are always a little all over the place but I have learned to embrace it! I enjoy trying new things, which is the reason I decided to make this blog. I want to try and do something new everyday, or every week (hey, I am a student), and slowly start taking things off my very long bucket list. I thought this blog was a great way to motivate me to find the time to do the things I've always dreamed about and to just share my general thoughts and experiences. Be ready for more to come! :)
