Back to the Basics

Brianna's Basics:

Friends
Family (& Tilly)
Food

The Three F's that make up my complex. As I begin the monotonous days of class after class in my fourth semester, I'm going back to the basics. Life is so much simpler on the playground in Kindergarten when its "Hey want to be my friend?" "Sure!"

I almost wish I could go back to simpler times, where coloring in between the lines was the hardest homework you had, and Mom and Dad were there to make decisions for you. Funny how it works in life, by the time you want nothing more than to have everyone else make decisions for you-- you're the only one who can make your decisions. But what if I make a wrong decision? Well that is when all I need is the basics-- my friends, family and food.

I recently heard a quote that "If you don't do it right the first time, try reading the directions." This quote is great because you realize you have to keep trying, and there is always something to help you out.

Just clearing my head today...

Almost Over

What a winter break its been. After a rough semester I could not have been more ready for a break from school. This break has been wonderful and busy, balancing working (creating wedding invitations), redecorating my room, family, friends, and sleep. I feel refreshed and replenished and ready to attack another semester of school.

A high note of the breaking was the reveal of a straight A semester, my first for college. After struggling with some classes this semester its always a joy to see your hard work pay off. I feel ready to dive into a new semester with three business classes, and possibly more pending registration on the 11th (finger's crossed).

My Dad helped me layout my classes, and therefore my life, for the next two years (sticky-notes were involved) I realized that I have a lot of work left to do in college! But I'm excited to see where my schooling will take me.

I take off for So Cal on the 16th so I'm doing my best to enjoy my time left and prepare myself for whats coming up.

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!
