Time to breathe and relax

This is the time of year that almost every college student dreads... the start of dead week. In-case you don't know what dead week is the following picture should sum it up for you...

Coffee+Endless time spent on the computer+None stop studying and group work= Dead Week

However, throughout this never ending, stressful week, I have found how to keep my sanity. Yoga. For an hour on Monday & Wednesday I will be able to pry my brain away from the books and have me time. The thoughts of being able to indulge in this wonderful bliss will be keeping me going through dead week... Well, that and coffee. 

This looks like it would be so relaxing. I love yoga in general... but being able to do it on a beach or by the water would be  so relaxing. That would be ultimate atmosphere.

What do you do to keep your sanity during stressful times? Go to the spa? Workout? Shop? All of these things sound wonderful right now.

My daily addiction

Coffee Date by cdboman@ksu.edu on Polyvore.com">
Lately I have started a horrible and costly addiction... Getting daily coffee. It started out as being just a couple times a week, but now it has spiraled out of control and has become a daily ritual. From a health standpoint it's not bad. I just get a small coffee with 2 tbls with skim milk, no sugar. For my bank account it is adding up though. I spend about $2 a day... That's around $14 a week...$56 a month... $672 a year. Just seeing that written out makes me nauseous. I have decided to take this addiction by the horns and stop it before it gets up to $672 a year. Instead I'm going to try and save that money for when I'm out of college and actually having to live on my own... That's about a months rent... Rent vs. a year of coffee... Tough choice. I'm sure I'll appreciate it later on though. I can't just stop my addiction cold turkey though. I'm still going to drink coffee... just not buy it from a coffee shop everyday. I'll keep you updated on how it goes. Today was day 1 and it was hard not to stop by the coffee shop between class, but I succeeded.

I was thinking about getting one of these cups. Maybe if I get one I'll make my iced coffee at home, but be able to take it to class. It would only cost one time fee of $9.99+ coffee... A lot better than $672. And it's earth friendly! 

Hopefully with the money saved up I can buy the super cute dress and cardi in the picture up above! I have been designing different outfits on Polyvore. This site is amazing and it is making me very excited for spring! Enjoy hump day tomorrow!

Heading to the big city

In less than one month I will be taking my first flight by myself... to the big city. I am nervous, excited, anxious, actually pretty much every emotion possible. I have never been to Seattle so I am super excited to be going to the amazing city for a conference. Seattle is known for so much... so I decided to start doing some research. I figured I should share some pics of what I am most excited on seeing! 

The beautiful skyline! I can't resist a big city skyline at sunset.

The first Starbucks... Ever. 

I imagine this being like a giant farmers market?

The flower market... to bad I won't be able to buy any.

Anyways I just wanted to share my excitement. I will start redesigning my layout soon I promise! This is my first blog so it might be a little rough for awhile. Bare with me!
