2014 Goals

Sooo since we are about halfway through the first month of the year... I thought I would share a few of my goals for the year.

Now since I'm graduating in May, 2014 will be my first actual year as an adult... so I'd like to be slightly more of an adult this year. That being said, I'm also just 22... so I still want to enjoy my youth and have fun. I want to be responsible and act older than my age... but I still want to remind myself that I am only 22 and it's okay to do things that 22 year olds would do. Not doing anything stupid... just trying to live life. Idk where I'm going with this. Let me just list some specifics.

1) Post on this blog daily- I may not write daily... but that's okay. The more writing I do the better I feel. I feel way more relaxed and just all around pretty good about myself when I post something. It doesn't matter if it gets 1 view or hundreds of views... I just want to post something that I'm proud of and that I can look back on fondly.

2) Write a book of short stories- This is a fairly recent discovery. I like writing rather odd things and I thought I'd create my own bizarre fictional universe and write different stories about different characters in the world. It's a work in progress because I really want this world to be something great.

3) Start writing a Television Pilot- I realize I'm not going to become the next Tina Fey overnight... there are probably several steps I have to take before becoming half as famous as her... but this is a good step. I already have ideas for tv shows that I think would work and I want to get them out there as soon as I can.

4) Step Out of My Comfort Zone- I've been doing this recently with more fashion-y type things. There are some things that I've always thought were cute but I didn't think I could pull it off... and this year I'm going to try. I've already done that and I've gotten quite a few things that I wouldn't normally wear or anything like that... but I've worn them and they are quite cute... so yeah.

5) Go to the gym- good god I'm really going to try this year. Maybe not going to the gym but doing something to actively work out. I could use it... and I just need to give it a shot.

6) Wake up at a normal time- This is one I seriously need to try. I'm horrible at waking up before noon, so if I could wake up somewhat early every morning... that would be cool. I think that's when I'm going to go to the gym and stuff like that.

7) Try different types of Pasta- Last year I tried Penne Vodka and fell in love. This may be a bad goal, but I really need to try more foods in general. Pasta seems like a good start!

8) Make Every Day Memorable- Half of the days of your life are something you won't remember. I think doing small, but exciting things every day can be super helpful. Not everyday is going to be exciting, but you know how they say "you learn something new every day" I want to do that.

9) Write a memory down every day- This is something I wanted to do last year, but I failed at it. I'm writing down something interesting from every day on a piece of paper and putting them in a little gift box thingy that my friend gave me that I thought was cute. At the end of the year I can go back and be like "ohhh yeah. That happened."

10) Be Nicer to People- I posted a whole "how to be nice to people" blog on Tuesday, so I won't go into a lot of detail. I just think that if you are nice and positive to people, they will be nice and positive back... so being nice is the best way to be.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
